Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4329 – July 28, 2020, 09:30:42 AM Thanks and hallo there, pleasure's all mine.And I must say I'm quite excited to be here, finally, as it's a step up from previous experiences with ST RP.Anyway, I not that good with introducing myself, but I can tell I'm a Dutchie and no, I'm not from Amsterdam. Technically I do come from Holland, the province of North Holland to be precise but that's far too long ago for me to remember. I'll probably be one of the younger people here, being only 20 years old but I can't always really relate to lots of others of my age. For a large part I had been exposed to lots of old stuff, reason why I like TOS and TAS as well, and IMO everything past ENT isn't really much good unless I want to have a laugh at it. AMA if you'd like, and I'll see you around. o7 2 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4330 – July 28, 2020, 09:53:11 AM Eek barba durkle, we've got a new one aboard. So welcome to the madhouse and as the one who's probably still holding the title "youngest Theurgy writer" I can tell you there's nothing weird about loving TOS even though it's almost thirty years older than you are. Anyhow if you have questions or anything I'm glad to help you. 1 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4331 – July 29, 2020, 02:19:47 AM TWILKINS STEPS AWAY, LEAVING AYDEN TYRE FOR ADOPTION Unfortunately, after careful consideration, @TWilkins steps away, leaving Elro Kobol for adoption. Given recent absence, and the ties to health care, this was expected, but he says he hopes to return some day. He just don’t have any time to keep up with things at the moment.He suggested that perhaps Y’Lev can go back to spy on the Syndicate on behalf of the Theurgy (some kind of Intelligence mission?), and Otheusz can easily blend into the background on the ship as he doesn’t have any major presence yet. The suggestion was that perhaps he isn’t deemed able to work to Starfleet standards yet in the thread The Wolf Den and requires lots of training, and I kind of like that. I will sort that out in my post there, and if TWilkins return, Otheusz will be readily available. Lt. Elro Kobol Chief Medical Officer - Former Writer: @TWilkins Our current CMO, Doctor Elro Kobol , escaped the Endeavour before its destruction aboard the USS Niger in Episode 05. Being an inherited character, he will go up for adoption again, and unless there are any takers, I may have to put him out of commission so that an active writer can take on the Chief Medical Officer position instead.Thank you for the time on the sim, @TWilkins , and hope you can return sooner rather than later!

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4335 – July 31, 2020, 04:22:35 PM Folks,While all in person events for GenCon were canceled this year, they are offering quite a few online events. I'll be rather busy through Sunday (8/2) and will likely be sparse with replies. I'll be on discord a lot as all the games I'm involved in use it for voice. But there's a strong chance if y'all're trying to get a hold of me responses will be highly delayed, even if I show up as available. <3 5 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4336 – August 01, 2020, 12:05:38 AM Theurgists! Unplanned guests have crashed the house but even as I try to be a good host, I do have a window to catch up a bit on things here tomorrow. Pardon the slight delay on replies to PMs. Please don't try to reach me over Discord with important things, as I've stated countless times, the reasons many but one of the obvious being that I can't have two separate cues and try to reply in order.

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4345 – August 12, 2020, 11:04:45 AM STEGRO88 WILL WRITE LIEUTENANT T'LESS!Being the second Theurgist to use the new Token Reward which enables you to write a 5th character, @Stegro88 has inherited T'Less, one of our Asst. Chief Tactical Officers! Lt. T'Less Asst. Chief Tactical Officer (V2) - Writer: @Stegro88 T'Less is on the Allegiant mission in Advent of War, manning the Tactical station on the scout ship. So far, no edits have been made to the character's history and character page, and Stegro will be getting into gear with his new character gradually. I look forward to seeing this Vulcan being actively written again, since she's been around since Episode 01.Congratulations on your new character, @Stegro88 ! DID YOU GUYS SEE THE DEVELOPMENT IN CHAPTER 02?One of the antagonists in the Advent of War has been introduced, and you can read two scenes concurrent with the Theurgy's first QSD jump here:Quantum FrontierThe last part of the post returns to the bridge of the Theurgy, where new orders are dealt, but Thea also shows up with foreboding words involving Sarresh Morali...Posts in this thread could be Joint-Posts with another writer, or if you have a character eligible for bridge duty, feel free to post in reaction to Thea's first completed QSD flight. If you have a character in Engineering on the Theurgy, you can illustrate the great difficulty it is to maintain QSD flight in terms of the variance mentioned in the post. Here are some ideas for contents to add in reply to this post or in Supplemental threads, besides whatever you guys can come up with! (It's from the Newsletter) [Show/Hide]Command Well, since TopHat has been pulled away from the sim due to Covid, that just leaves Cameron Henshaw together with my characters, but BipSpoon and I have already talked about development for Henshaw, in which she will learn more about her adoptive father.Diplomatic CorpsDuring the Anthology, leading up to the Paris bombing, the focus ought to be on maintaining good diplomatic relationships with the Aldeans as well as the present KDF forces. Furthermore, plans for the future should centre on viable contacts for the Theurgy in Federation space. By the time the Theurgy leaves Aldea, they need options on who to speak with, and know which favours might be pulled. Could friends of the Klingons be viable allies if Martok has sided with the Theurgy?There are plenty of characters on the Theurgy that are unique for their species, and these are key advisers for future relations or development pertaining to those species! We have Orions, Kzinti and Romulans, for example.During Advent of War, the Theurgy might want to keep tabs on what happens in the Federation after the Paris bombing, so possibly together with Intelligence, collect viable diplomatic options that we can incorporate in the story!Another ambition here is to undermine the influence of known Infested, in Starfleet Command and elsewhere, what can our Diplomats do in this regard? Food for thought!IntelligenceSo far, Admiral Anderson and his connections have been quite underused in establishing development for Intelligence. he is but a message on a subspace comm buoy away. While Anderson has helped a lot by sending personnel to the Theurgy, could he also provide intel on current events in Advent of War? I suggest that through him and his resources, the next thalaron bomb on Andoria is revealed, and this in a Supplemental thread set in Chapter 02.With Nicander's sanity preserved with the transphasic light, he should again use his 'Farsight' to to learn more about the Breen bomb. If someone from Intelligence could come to the Brig anew in a Supplemental thread, that would be awesome, but this doesn't have to be an Intelligence endeavour!Just like I mentioned for the Diplomatic Corps, one ambition is to undermine the influence of known Infested, in Starfleet Command and elsewhere, what can Intelligence do in this regard?The Romulan Star Empire is going to bring thalaron weaponry against Donatra's fleet and the Remans. Can their supply lines be cut, or their advance undermined somehow? Before the Theurgy can get there herself, we might need to outsource the action for a while.TacticalIn this scene above, Cross might have to ask Zyrao Natauna if the ships spotted on long range sensors are loyal to Martok or have sided with Gorka?With Martok being challenged by other Klingons, Klingon battle simulations ought to be in order before the real deal.Can the two-hundred companions of Martok's give inside information on how to fight their own kind, if they are to bring Martok to the first city? Feel free to use General Chu'vok to aid with tactics.CONNAfter the first QSD burst, the Theurgy will have to travel at Warp 6, which allows for some shuttle operations to and from the Theurgy. Tactical CONN might do scouting ahead of the Theurgy's path, but with the need for Benamite crystals, shuttle pilots might need to help collect some!Sera vers Aldnoah is on the Theurgy still, with her Sabine, and it being fast, she can be approached for away missions as well, related to Story Objectives or not.SecurityAfter the bomb in the Spearhead Lounge, an investigation should be started, which can begin with the gradual Episode sub-plot in which Rov - the bomber - is caught. It would entail looking at the two-hundred companions more closely, and working with Science to figure out what the bomb could have been made out of. Could there be more bombs? What kind of precautionary measures should people take? What will be the recommendation to Ives?With Deputy zh'Wann on the Allegiant, and Kai Akoni ending up in stasis, she will become the Acting Chief of Security, but she will have to ask Adam Kingston to help out on the Theurgy. Sqwee has already suggested some kind of hand-over in this regard, but more Security character writers are welcome in this development.We also have two-hundred unruly Klingons aboard, so any number of things can happen in that regard.Tactical CONNAfter the QSD jump, the Lone Wolves can scout ahead of the Theurgy, since their base ship will only be able to travel at Warp 6. In scouting ahead, please feel free to write skirmishes with Gorka-affiliated forces!The Lone Wolves could also help forces affiliated with Martok after they've been attacked by Gorka's fleet. Perhaps Klingon ships are adrift, and the Wolves can help them be towed/send word to Klingon ally ships close by.Perhaps a patrol of Klingon Phantom raiders encounter the Lone Wolves, allowing for a classing dogfight scene!MedicalKlingon-related injuries to treat, to begin with......but then we have the bomb in the Spearhead Lounge! BZ will soon post a group thread starter situated in Sickbay, in which key characters can be put into their stasis units, and others are brought to the Morgue.CounselingAfter the Spearhead Lounge bomb, there's bound to be crisis relief and presence for people to talk to.Any stressful or dangerous situation could be the trigger for trauma that a character can’t stop thinking about, in which case they could speak to a counselor.With Seren being one of those ending up in stasis, this could lead to a departmental thread with a reaction to it.EngineeringIn this thread, there are openings for any kind of cascade failures caused by the new slipstream drive, and repairs to be done in that regard. We also have the need for more Benamite crystals, so those need to be inventoried and word needs to be brought to Ives that they need more. The Savi only had so many to spare, included with the delivery of the drive system.The Quantum Slipstream Burst Drive ought to be a centre of attention for this Department, along with the fact that Blue Tiran's husband - the First Officer - was caught in the bomb in the Spearhead Lounge. Being ready and available to aid her would be a priority. There will be new Story Objectives coming up continually through the Episode, and one of those will likely revolve around the need to obtain new Benamite crystals, since the new QSD that the Theurgy has installed runs on too little power (the three warp cores insufficient compared to the reactor on a Savi dreadnought) so it makes the crystals of the drive deteriorate a lot. That's why the Theurgy will only dare fly one hour at the time. This needs attention in the story, I'd say.More interaction with the Savi delegation would be welcome as a feature in the Story!Blue Tiran and Sithick has developed the first iteration of the transphasic light canon, which is used in the Brig in Episode 01 to keep Nicander from loosing himself to the parasite within. The development of a second canon, a bit smaller in size, ought to start, which can be utilised on Qo'nos! OperationsIn this scene above, we need to establish that the cap is at 60 light years with a 36 hour cooldown, during which the Theurgy will have to travel at Warp 6. This could be brought up in the Quantum Frontier thread, as the power drain becomes clear.Anthology: With the transporters calibrated to include an anyon emission protocol to keep any Infested from coming aboard, and with the Theurgy having shared this with Martok's forces, a Klingon ship could fly up next to the Theurgy in the shipyards, or the planetside transporters could picked. Either way, said technology could be tested in a Klingon transporter. While there is no live subject available to kill with the protocol, diagnostics done by the Operations department on the Klingon ship could state that its working as it should. Once this is done, the word can be spread to more Klingon ships.A new project could be launched in which the attempt to upgrade Thea's internal sensors is made. This, with the ambition that she'd be able to scan inside the specific anyonic phase variance in which the Infested exist. This project might not be finished in this Episode, but should be started nonetheless for sake of future development.ScienceContinued work on trying to isolate a parasite in a transporter with a second containment beam, so that when transporting the host of the parasite, the parasite is separated. CSO Vale Kaeris is working on this, but this needs in-story attention for sake of story development!We need more attention on the theories on the parasitic origin in the present reality. Was there a breach made, in which someone became the first Infested? How could this happen? When? Where? Can such a breach be sealed, or is it too late?We also have the Azurite Station, on which the Niga virus was developed, and it has been implemented into the time stream by the Infested. Could the Cycles of the temporal paradox be stopped by destroying all remaining samples of the Niga virus in the present? Should the Azurite Station be destroyed? Have any samples been shipped from there already? Work with Intelligence if needed, but this is an important story factor to pay attention to, and work with as we progress.I will eventually be closing this thread now with the hour of QSD travel having come to an end, Thea appearing well within Klingon space. I am open for interactions with Captain Ives on the bridge! Last Edit: August 12, 2020, 11:19:44 AM by Auctor Lucan 5 Likes
