Second Chances: the Network

I hope everyone is okay. I'm not really sure what's going on. Just that things on the network are chaotic. It's gotta be Mercury in retrograde. That always seems to drive chaos into people's lives.

Edwin, are you

Tim, is everything

I feel like going to the bookstore today. Maybe I'll find some more star charts there.

So this is new… did I just get sucked into some different universe? What am I gonna have to fight off this time?

...not quite the adventure I was lookin' for. Wee bit confusing, even if the digs be nice.

Name's Hook. Seem to have taken a very wrong turn and end up here.

[voice post; after dark]

Hello? Is it recording? I can't really tell.

I mean, this is only just a bit smaller than being a crow, I guess. Except I could actually fly back then. I probably look silly jumping and trying to flap my arms around.

Is it a good thing I shrunk while on my bed? I kind of almost suffocated under the covers, but I made it out! My phone is up on my pillow which is kinda hard to get to.

Uh... I'm okay. But no one come sit on my bed just in case you don't see me there, okay?

Does this... wear off after a while? Anyway, that's the end of my message. Let me just...

I...

Can't...

Turn...

This thing...

Off!

2027? That's... 41 years.

I was told I should introduce myself on here? I'm Will. This is a lot different from 1986.

Sorry, this is a lot and I'm not sure what else to say right now. I just need to go home Is there really no way to go back home?

[Jennifer Walters]

Hi, Miss Walters - I'm sorry if miss isn't right, but I didn't want to assume anything. They said I'll be staying with you while I'm here. I'll try my best not to bother you much.

Edited after a few minutes

Are there still arcades and D&D in the future?

Added a bit later

Why does everything taste like strawberries?

Since my birthday is in the middle of the week, would people prefer doing a get together the Saturday before (the 21st) or the Saturday after (the 28th)? I'm thinking dinner and a bon fire at night on the beach is probably going to end up being the best option.

[Friends]

I don't know how to

Guess who's single again! It's me! Why do I Do you think it's because

I also moved in with a new guardian because Donna left. My new guardian seems nice though? So... many changes lately. 😅

Good thing summer vacation is coming soon. I might just stay in my room and never It's hard to think about school with everything going on now.

[Adam Ruzek]

Hi! I woke up feeling sick today so I don't think I can go to school. Maybe it's a stomach bug or something. Just letting you know!

[Monty]

We should talk.

When is good for you?

[Private - Monty]

Hey, I'm Adam. I've been appointed your new guardian. I'm sorry your old one got sent home.

Let me know if you need anything.

Oh... I've never been part of a trope of belly dancers. I hope I can learn the performance quickly enough.

Uhhh help?

School is almost over for the year and my birthday is in about a month. I want to plan something fun for it, but I dunno what. I'm turning 18, so it kind of feels like one of those big birthdays or something.

[Allison Hargreeves]

And if you want me out of your hair once I'm legally old enough, I can talk to whoever I need to about getting my own apartment.

[Private to SO18 actual bandmates only]
So I know that Julie and Luke usually do the song writing. But I was thinking about how we first met Julie. Then Phil and Matt's wedding. Then about Alex and Stiles.

And then Adaine.

( And maybe this is something? )
[end]

We have a lot of theater people, right?

Would anyone be interested in maybe staging a brand new musical that made me pass my independent study last year with flying colors but might need more work and workshopping before it's ready ready?

[Private to Adaine]
I don't want to distract you from finals and stuff, but if you need a break from studying, I can have a picnic ready in ten minutes. You just send out the SOS.

There really always is something exciting happening around here. First a space trip and now Easter magic!

What did everyone get? I hope something amazing!

[Monty]

Don't think that I forgot about your birthday coming up!! Is there something you want to do? I want it to be the best for you.

[DBD Crew]

Sooo, I want to plan a birthday party for Monty and I'm totally open to suggestions/party planning partners!

Astrology books? Did someone send me these? I mean it's almost my birthday but...

I know people liked being in space, but I feel so much better now that we're back on earth. That plus more astrology books just made my day. I'm so glad I don't have to spend my birthday in space. 🖤

Stardate 202504.13 - Earth relative

You may have noticed that we’re currently in orbit above Ni’Var, the Vulcan home-world. We plan to stay for three days and will be sending a delegation from Command, Sciences, Engineering and Specialists from San Francisco to discuss and investigate our current situation. While here you’ll all have the opportunity to take some shore leave and explore what the planet has to offer.

For those of you who are first time visitors, some things to remember. The atmosphere is thinner than that of earth and the temperatures much higher. No blue skies here, they’re usually a shade of red and you can always see T’Khut, the planet’s binary partner up there.

The computer has a guide to the planet which will go into as much detail as you request.

Please be back aboard before we depart on 16th | 202504.16.

Ensigns (all the teens in work placements)

You’ve all been doing well so far, considering we threw you in at the deep end, so to speak. If any of you have questions or concerns regarding your assignments don’t be afraid to raise them.

While on Ni’Var, take the opportunity to meet with your science academy counterparts if it’s offered. Their facilities are top notch and well worth a visit.

[Friends and Tim]

I'm not feeling too good. There aren't any natural wind currents in here. Not that I'm a crow anymore, but there's a vacuum outside these walls. And I feel like I could run out of air any minute.

I thought this would be great. I could look outside and see the planets and the constellations. I could be right in the middle of astrology. But what even is astrology is we're not on earth?

I just feel like I can't breathe.

Seriously, who designed these uniforms? I need to talk to them.

OOC Notes:

• Forward dated to 5 April / Running on UTC/Aussie time
  
• This kicks off the Star Trek Plot
  
• For background on Pike's leadership style, watch him take command of the U.S.S. Discovery

Public announcement on the U.S.S. Enterprise / Public Network Post:

Attention, all personnel. This is Captain Christopher Pike. We find ourselves in a unique situation here. We’ve encountered some sort of anomaly. Roughly half of the crew of the Enterprise have disappeared. Simultaneously, residents of San Francisco have suddenly found themselves here. Let me be the first to welcome you to the U.S.S. Enterprise. I imagine everyone has a lot of questions, so let me attempt to answer them.

Ship tours will be available at 1000H, 1400H, and 1800H. (10am, 2pm, 6pm)

My gold coin turned out to just be chocolate and it melted in my jacket pocket and everything sucks and I was talking to this cute girl outside of the cafeteria at school and a bird pooped on me and I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom to take care of it and I got hit by the bathroom door and now I have a black eye.


Everything sucks.
