Announcement sent directly to all PADDs on the Enterprise New arrivals will see this upon first PADD login after their debriefing and physical
To the crew of the Starship Enterprise and its Travelers:
We are now more than half a year into this anomaly that has brought this crew and the travelers together. In that time the Federation has spent some resources on the research of this phenomenon, but has thus far not been able to find the cause.
After a discussion with Captain Kirk and with approval from the Federation and Starfleet, we are taking over research of this anomaly. This will allow travelers of different fields of expertise to put their knowledge to use in ways we can no longer support as additional crew of this vessel. If Enterprise crew members are also interested in participating, this cannot be a full-time transfer and your time must be approved by Captain Kirk.
The new research crew will consist for the following teams:
Astrophysicists - This team will study the nebula and its unique properties to determine what caused the time rupture.
Quantum Physicists - This team will study the space-time continuum and determine the nature of this particular rupture, including if we can control the flow of arrivals and departures.
Physics Liaisons - This team is tasked with combining the intel of the other two teams to find connections between nebula properties and the time-rupture properties. Suited for scribes, analysts, or those with expertise in both fields.
Researchers - This team will be given access to all Starfleet and Federation knowledge on temporal anomalies. Their research will be provided to the other teams. This team will be given direct access to classified documents written by Ambassador Spock prior to his death.
Morale Officers - Separate from the official duties of the Traveler Liaison Program, Morale Officers will be tasked with keeping spirits up and suggesting ship changes to the Enterprise crew for added comfort. They will also be in charge of Traveler-specific activities that do not coincide with shore leave.
Other teams may be added as needed. To become part of one of these programs, please fill out the provided application at the end of this announcement. Interview questions may follow the completion of your application prior to approval.
Thank you, Dr. Leonard McCoy Chief Medical Officer & Traveler Research Lead
OOC: I dare you to ask Bones how he got put in charge of this project. lol
