...that Karri can't "immediately" report to the Cargo Bay in order to assist with ENGs ongoing efforts, of course, Astrid. I imagine after all the hum-drum the crew's experienced these past weeks, double timing it down there would be a welcome diversion (maybe not as welcome as rain-wrestling the Lone Hornet, of course, but... you know... )

Also... couldn't resist tacking up a post playing out Megan's reaction to getting put on the CONN rotation. Amn't she just adorable, though?

Yes, by all means, if Karri wants to come join the engineering team, feel free to do so. She will be called to help in Thorson's next post anyway.

There's a specific reason this repair process is going the way it is and why I might seem a bit stringent about it. And that is all I can and will say right now.

She definitely IS adorable!

Kinda makes you want to buy her ice cream and balloons, huh?




Edit: Just thought that this would be a great spot for a Roger cameo as Bob N'doog...

*Bob passes through the shuttle bay on his way to service the RCS on Shuttlepod 6 and notices Megans antics in the Work Bee*

"Whoa... Righteous moves, pilot-dude! Shreeeedddd it! Shyaaaaaa!"

Astrid, your post is only showing a header and time stamp, just fyi.

I miss old Bob N'Doog!

Okay, folks. We're at sort of a weird spot, here. The staff meeting is wrapped, the analysis of the pod is ongoing... there are no big plot points to come until we hit Starbase 118.

From what I understand, there are several of you wondering what the heck you should be doing right now.

So here's the deal - Duncan has a pod-related event scheduled for 1400 hours (or so), which would skip us ahead some five, five and a half hours. Duncan's post should open the doors for some new opportunities for others to get posting. Also, we would close most of the gap to the Starbase.

You are now on notice - if you plan to post during the current timeline, please do so now (or PM me to let me know that you plan to do so). Otherwise, we'll bump the game ahead tomorrow.

Of course, if you decide that you missed a post, you can ALWAYS backpost. Just no skipping ahead.

Eol helped me fix it

Eol's all facelickity like that.

Astrid and Ody - caught a couple of places in your last posts where "dropped to impulse" didn't get replaced by "jumped to warp"... Corrected those lines... changed nothing else. just FYI

Thank you

...missed it, myself, on the first and second read-thru.

All righty, the pod is available to all now.

Astrid, I couldn't find a point to specifically talk to Karri before there at the end, so you can assume she came on down at some point to help out. That's the way I approached it in the post, that Karri was already there when he asked for her help at the end. So backpost about what Karri does in the cargo bay leading up to 1300 hours or so, if you want to.

The pod is now out of the containment field. Y'all have at it.

ok i'll take a look an work on a post tonight

I was just trying to play off the old idea of "She rocked my world" or "she made the earth move". Just messed up the timing.

Just as Karri made herself available to engineering I put Reid in Security in case Rock wanted him to help research tactics. Although he doesn't know anything about that yet. Reid likes to "Be Prepared" and as Rock's Second he will tend to anticipate. So Tann.... if you need him, he is there....
I am sure there is other admin stuff he could be doing to help.

Gosh, I'm being pretty active for a NPC...lol...

Beautiful post, Dunklezahn!

Ody - again, no worries! You're doing great! One little oopsie is nothing to vet all knicker-twisted over. Happens to all of us sooner or later. Especially us old guys.

This game, honestly, is rockin my socks - little glitches aside - and I'm having a blast with all of you!
