Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4752 – May 14, 2021, 10:03:11 AM @Auctor Lucan , @Griff , @Tae , @Eden , @Pierce , @Luciain , @Nero , @Stegro88 , @SaraKnight , @Swift , @GroundPetrel , @Griffinsummoner , @Nesota Kynnovan , @Fife , @RyeTanker, and all other members of the board: thank you all for the warm welcome and encouragement. It has been quite a number of years since I was involved in a text-based rpg/sim (which learned today is often referred to as a MUD now...). I already appreciate the thoroughness and dedication exhibited by the GM and players on this board and I look forward to honing my storytelling craft with you all as we torture...er...develop our characters together. Just as a note: I am in the GMT+8 time zone and I'm uncertain how many others are in a similar area, but I'm assuming that may factor into storyboarding and posts, in which case, apologies in advance for any inconvenience. Cheers y'all, and jia you (in Mandarin that literally means "add oil" but the English equivalent is "go go")! 9 Likes

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4755 – May 16, 2021, 03:42:45 AM Welcome @Ellen FitzDoes anyone else find it amusing how there are several new members who have female characters after Auctor said no more female characters? lol I realised that those applicants had been developing their characters way before the announcement, though I still find it amusing.I wonder what the male to female ratio is now...

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4756 – May 16, 2021, 03:58:35 AM Oh? I wasn't aware of that. Thankfully, he let me make Amissa, because I am not sure how well I would do starting with a guy. That might be kind of hard for me. A fitting challenge for the future, but thankfully not for my first character. 1 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4757 – May 16, 2021, 04:05:47 AM I missed that announcement, otherwise I would've complied. Writing male characters is indeed a challenge, but a fun one. Maybe if Enyd dies off I'll make a male. Cheers!

Chief Medical Officer! Lt. Arven Leux Asst. Chief Medical Officer - Writer: TaeArven is an unjoined Trill that will eventually come aboard the Theurgy from the Oneida and join the Medical Department. He will probably be making his first appearance in Of Late I Think of Qo'noS after the Oneida encounters the Sabine. In New Renegade, there is no shortage of patients to deal with, and I look forward to reading his viewpoint in the battle!For the time being, officers on the Oneida will be listed here: Non-Crew Listing.Best,Auctor Lucan 10 Likes

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4766 – May 21, 2021, 04:39:51 PM STATUS OF CHAPTER 07 IN ADVENT OF WARWe have a lot of In-Character events taking place at the same time, so I figured I'd post a quick overview here so that everyone are up to speed on where we are at. The latest Newsletter brought this up in more detail, pointing towards the Story Objectives that were added, but here is the current status!CHAPTER 07: ALL OR NOTHINGThis Chapter starts with the Sabine leaving the USS Oneida, codenamed Freedom Sentinel, carrying Chancellor Martok and Captain Ives to Qo'noS, as well as the away team that will make sure the Chancellor reaches the Great Hall safely so that he can defend his reign over the Klingon Empire. As it is, they have reached the Great Hall and they are making their way to the Klingon High Council Chamber. During this time, the Theurgy has arrived in orbit over Qo'noS too, and deployed a Type 11 shuttle to assist in the proceedings as best as possible, carrying vital intel that might aid in smoking out an Infested among the Councilors, and since they do not know that the Sabine made it through, having been shot down over the city, they also bear news about Martok having a grandson - the House of Martok not dead yet.- SUPPMENTAL THREAD: PRAXIS CRUCIBLEHere is where the Theurgy arrives at Qo'noS, after the Erudite returned to the Theurgy and gave them a soliton wave "push" to close the distance to their destination. The Allegiant docked with the Theurgy before then and the away team that went to Breen returned aboard. Now, as you read this thread, you can see that there are a multitude of problems to deal with. CIO Andrew Fisher has been kidnaped by Gorka and as the Ta'rom reached Qo'noS, he was moved to a planetside facility. If the Theurgy interferes with Gorka's claim on the Chancellery, Gorka has threatened to kill Fisher. The Theurgy was also contacted by K'Tal, the Head of Imperial Intelligence, a Councillor loyal to Martok, and he suspects that the Infested and/or House Mo'Kai has some kind of contingency plan at play on the destroyed moon Praxis. K'Tal has asked for the Theurgy to investigate, since his spies have not reported back after trying to learn what is happening on the moon. - SUPPLEMENTAL THREAD: HIDDEN RAPTORJust after the Theurgy reached Qo'noS, a Donatra sympathiser working in the Star Navy made contact with her old friend Drauc T'Laus, bearing dire news. After Praetor Tal'Aura declared war on the Federation, the contact, Situka, revealed her current commissioning, it being on an D'viret-class incursion cruiser belonging to the Tal Shiar... and it was heading for Qo'noS. It would be in orbit over the First City twenty minutes after the Theurgy was alerted, and Situka claimed the cruiser may carry a thalaron bomb akin to the one detonated in Paris. The Lone Wolves have been scrambled already, and it might be the USS Oneida appears in this thread to address this threat too.- SUPPLEMENTAL THREAD: NEW RENEGADESpeaking of the Oneida, this thread depicts how it faces House Mo'Kai about one hour before the Theurgy arrives at Qo'noS. Captain Jesse Jackson and his crew is putting up a valiant effort, and if the Oneida makes it, it will limp its way to Qo'noS after the threat of these four birds of prey have been dealt with. It is TBD if the Oneida appears in Praxis Crucible or Hidden Raptor. We'll see what narratively fits best at the time of this thread being concluded.- SUPPLEMENTAL THREAD: OPERATION "DINNER OUT"In this thread, a rescue attempt of Andrew Fisher is being carried out, using the Reman shuttle Apache. The shuttle is about to launch, and it remains to be seen what the fallout will be here. Fortunately enough, the Apache has a Reman cloak, just like the Allegiant, so chances are high that the planetside compound can be approached relatively easy, keeping the element of surprise in the away team's favour.- SUPPLEMENTAL THREAD: SABINE CRASH SITEK'Tal also asked for the Theurgy's help to secure the Sabine's crash site, if nothing else to verify whether or not the crew survived. Martok is missing, and so is Captain Ives and the rest of the away team - comms down. Sera vers Aldnoah is trying to repair the shuttle. The Nav Specialist Larrant has used his pod to project an image of Martok to lure away House Mo'Kai assassins, and the Theurgy has launched the Tesla to try and reach the crash site undetected. The mission is underway, the outcome unknown.There are still a few battle threads ongoing from Chapter 06: Battle of the Houses, but as soon as those are finished, these threads above as well as any other new Group Threads (Story Objectives or not) will be renamed Battle Logs as well, since they take place at roughly the same time. To avoid confusion between the two different events in the Episode, however, these above remains Supplemental Threads for the time being. Don't forget to check out the Story Objectives listed for Chapter 07! Hope all this makes sense and make sure to PM me if you have any questions! Best,Auctor Lucan 9 Likes
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4767 – May 22, 2021, 06:54:32 AM Quick heads up for everyone. I'm taking a weeks vacation this coming week so I'll be around but unsure when and how long. We're hauling our RV trailer (caravan for the europeans) to a private campground we frequent, and I'm looking forward to a week of ignoring work, relaxing, catching up on some writing, and as the schedule says rain most of the week, sitting under my awning enjoying the fresh smell of rain. 3 Likes

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #4770 – May 23, 2021, 03:22:28 AM Was a nice drive. Sunny, clear skies (have pics uploading I'll share later), six hour drive roughly. Crossed one mountain range to get here. Now I'm parked in a campsite nestled in the base of the rockies. Same place as last year, and he year before, and the year before that. :D 5 Likes
