Hi Guys,

Well the "epic battle" scene didn't really go how I expected it to, so maybe I need to clarify some things as we move on. The ship was almost destroyed, it is heavily damaged and by a miracle the cloaking device still works. The ship is in hiding right now and will soon beam away teams down to the planet for investigative work and research. The other two ships were completely destroyed. Below is plot-worthy info.

MEDICAL: You guys have a ton of wounded on your hands, even researches with medical backgrounds can be helping. Their should be triage, people in the halls, teams going to the bridge, trauma, blood, guts, death, the works.

ENGINEERING: The ship is a mess! Power is low, the warp core is probably billowing all types of gases. Main engineering might even have been evacuated. There are leaks, plasma fires, all kinds of stuff to work with.

SCIENCES/MISC: Maybe you knew someone on those other two ships who were killed. Maybe you're a victim yourself of a horrific injury. Maybe help engineering or medical if you have any backgrounds. Think about your character, how would they react?

All in all, there is plenty to do right now and be creative with, so enjoy the drama and post when possible. Feel free to share your ideas and ask questions. Thanks! (See note below)

-Dan

Hey Folks,

A new IC thread is up. Once the Captain has replied to Olivia and Ranul, we will go to the bridge and the ship will arrive at our destination. We will write what we're encountering and you can expect any and every character to be involved. The thread is tagging everyone so feel free to post your character's reaction in that thread even if you're somewhere else on the ship, just try and specify in case another character wants to interact. Reply here for questions/comments and have fun! =)

Hi Guys,

I hope everyone had a good week, TGIF. I've spent a lot of time redoing the ship info page, so make sure and check it out. The other pages linked from there are a work in progress, however, the decks page is complete! No more guessing where everything is! =) (Thanks to the other Dan for helping me). So feel free to start using deck numbers in your posts or think about where your character may live. Reply here for comments or suggestions

As far as the plot, I know a lot of you are bored, so sometime within the next few days the ship will arrive at its destination and I assure you there will be plenty to write about. Also, Ranul, the second officer/chief science officer will now absorb the duties of the chief operations officer (like Data). So be prepared for that change.

One last thing, I'd like to remind all of you that there are posting requirements in this game that I tend to enforce. Please post at least once a week in IC or OOC. I don't like having to track people down, so please be proactive. There is always something to write about when you use your imagination, you just have to take the initiative. Okay I'm done being mean.

Have a good weekend guys.

-Dan

We lost our communications officer, so that position is open if anyone is interested. Please update your friends list.

In case anyone hasn't been following it, an important thread is finishing up which you can find here. It's probably one of the most important ones so far, so please read it so you have an idea of what's going on.

Also, you can find info regarding the Vorducaat (the original race we're about to encounter) here. They're a bizarre bunch so it should be interesting.

If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, please reply to this thread. Thanks! =)

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to update everyone on what's going on. The ship is finally leaving dock and because where we are going is so far, I'm going to jump ahead about a week. Even though technically it would probably take much longer than that to get there, we're shortening it a bit. So feel free to post up to April 11th while we're cruising at warp, because April 12th is when we will arrive and everything big will happen. There will be lots of action soon so be on your toes and watch out for new threads.

PLOT DETAILS:

(1)I have provided basic information of the missing doctors. As you can see, the one thing they have in common is their specialty. They have all been kidnapped. Feel free to make up a story or history about their lives if your character is researching them. They were all working on random projects when they disappeared.

(2)The planet we are headed to is equipped with multiple sensor inhibitors, preventing us from getting a clear view of what is actually out there. The ship's long-range sensors will detect a large amount of objects surrounding the planet, but there is no way to tell if these are ships, asteroids, space junk, etc. So we are headed into the unknown.

(3)The Captain assigned some characters a specific duty. Stretch that out and thread about it. For those of you who aren't directly involved, you will be soon. Take this time to build relationships with other characters, go tag crazy if you want. The ship is huge and there is plenty of room for character-driven plottage.

That's all for now! =)

Just when I thought there couldn't be anymore updates. =)

We've lost the Chief Medical Officer, so if anyone is interested in holding that position, let me know. You also can 'upgrade' one of your current characters if you'd like. However, we did gain a new player, Loi, who should be posting an intro soon.

IMPORTANT: If you are unsure of what to post because you're lost, bored, confused, whatever it may be, PLEASE talk to me, don't just not post. I'm on AIM a lot (thehealerinside) or you can e-mail us at our new game-address (st.betaquadrant@gmail.com)

Thanks,

Hey Everyone,

The start of the new plot has been posted in IC. I know a lot of you have been waiting patiently, it just took some time to work out the details. If you play a senior officer, this is your chance to start posting in the conference room. If you don't play any seniors, don't worry because action is on its way. We're gaining new players almost everyday, so please keep your friends list updated and make sure you get acquainted with them when they post their intro.

Sorry for all the OOC posts..lol

Thanks,

Dan

Hey Guys,

Though there hasn't been many threads, the game seems to be moving smoothly. We're still waiting on some character's initial posts. Juicy plot is on it's way.

In other news, I redid the resources page to look a little more user-friendly. I am also working on the player page, but is still a work-in-progress. I'm having some code issues that need ironing out (I ♥ Beck). Which reminds me, I am assuming that everyone's submitted messenger name is an AIM handle. If it is not and you use Yahoo or another program please comment here to let me know so I can make the changes. The AIM names are set as links so all you have to do is click them and a window will pop up with a greeting to the player. Even more characters and features are on there way so check here for introductions and updates. Thanks all.

Due to the unexpected pace of newly joining members, and because I wanted to confuse the hell out of everyone, Dan (player of Ranul) is going to help me out and will officially be my co-nerd co-moderator. He will assist me in keeping things updated and offering ideas.

We are going to create a new e-mail address so that both of us can respond to holds, applications, and/or questions and concerns from members. That address will be posted soon. You will still be able to contact us individually with the addresses listed on the "player" page.

Thanks Dan!

Today is the day folks.

I know some of you have just literally been approved as new members so take your time in coming up with something to write. Some of us are currently working on things as I speak. New member intros are on there way as well as improvements to certain pages. The player/contact page has been updated but will be completely redesigned here soon, as well as the resources page. Facts, features, and minor alterations to current information is on my radar. Let me know if any of you have suggestions for further info.

I'm psyched to get started and I'm sure many of you are too. I've worked hard to get this game going and so have some of my friends who assisted. Don't be afraid to break the ice and have a blast.

We have a new player for our Chief Medical Officer ([info]healingtouch). Her name is Ashlee and hopefully she will be writing a short intro about herself soon. If you haven't welcomed her to the game, please do so. =)

In other news, I've been very impressed with the amount of holds we're getting. I didn't expect this many before the start date. For those of you itching to get writing, feel free to have something ready to post on Wednesday.

Some things to keep in mind when posting your first ICs: Days of the week are not necessary, a simple date will suffice. The in-game start date will be April 5th, 2382. Also, keep in mind that many of the officers, especially the senior staff, have already had a ship orientation a few days prior to coming aboard. I was going to add that into the plot, but it's kind of common sense that crew members would have some form of familiarity before running a brand new ship.

You can either have your character already aboard or you can write out their short journey to the ship (from Earth, from a space station, etc). Many of the characters have not met one another. There will not be a Captain's Ceremony. Be creative and have fun. If you have any questions please let me know.
