The Syndicate

Don't forget to give input on what you want our Space Station to be named.

This name Odyssey is starting to stick with me. Space Station Odyssey sounds pretty good.
I like the tribute to Space Above and Beyond because of our club name Space Station Saratoga as well.
Corky suggested Olympia Station

But that is about where we stand with suggestions from what I could tell. Make some suggestions ya'll!

On a different note, I have to apologize. Apparently I screwed up somewhere along the lines and got my year wrong. The club was in the year 2396 not 2393 like I thought. That was apparently the year they began. The time we've been simming in should have been 2396 so I apologize. To make things easy I'm going to go through and just edit logs and such to account for that time frame. I'm very sorry about that guys and gals. So technically our time shift was 25 years not 22 like we originally talked about. Perhaps we can come up with a reason also as to why we thought it was only 22 and not 25. Maybe the Subspace beacon that reported the time to our ships computer was also wrong due to some kind of damage, and we'll find out this fact through the Johnsons. I donno. So many ideas. But this was my oversight so I apologize.

The new group venture has decided to pick up in the year 2399 so were going to be advancing in time again. CJ's going to lay out some narrative that shoots us forward in time to this point. So in one of our future Sim's were going to be picking up 3 more years into our future having served on the Tempest together for that long. So you may want to think about how your character would have grown in 3 years of working together. Would the rift between Sully and Oliver have been overcome. How about Johnny's behavior towards the uniform? Did he have a revelation that he actually wanted to be here and work well with us while still maintaining his image? Perhaps you might post some thoughts here also on things you'd like to have happened to your character in 3 years time. Start thinking about it now. This might also explain how we ended up with double duty taking care of a Space Station in addition to the Tempest. Distinguished ourselves plenty enough to get noticed and set here.

Once we get the particulars figured out I will also move our logs over to the new Forums as well. I will of course keep posting a copy of our activities here as well. You do not have to feel obligated to do so but I'm going to in order to keep interest here in case someone stumbles upon our activity and decides they want to try it out.

May I please enquire where on the new site our existing (and future) logs will be located? I'd have assumed the 'In Character' section but within it, there are no threads there yet that appear suitable. Personally, I like the idea of posting along a timeline like we're doing here as the logs add colour and interest as different characters post their interpretations of sim events from their unique perspectives.

Okay so an update of sorts -
Assuming ST:AB goes with 2397 as their date of choice to pick up the rest of the group, we wont have much if any jumping around to do. So no crazy blank spots to worry about so disregard my earlier post about having to think about that block of time.
Our In Character date is December 7, 2396, so were just a hop, skip, and a jump to 2397.

I was intending on Transferring all your logs over with mine, but then I got to thinking that it might be better for you to re-post/copy/paste them over yourselves to keep it less confusing. Shouldn't take but a few minutes. If your not able or would rather let me know and I'll include them with mine when I transfer mine.

Your logs -
We have a section that's listed as Tempest/Odyssey for now, post your logs in there. Use the format of
Position-Rank-Name for the topic of your thread. IE: "CO Capt Oliver Alexander Savage" just to make things easier.


Thanks guys for your understanding. Sorry for any confusion.

I betrayed Sully last night.

ONE MORE TIME FOR MY PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Do we have a room with the proper club name now? ST:AB or whatever?

I can make one in seconds I just need a solid name :P

While the Captain's away, the mice will play

And I'll kill Johnny.

STABTempest maybe?

Or USSTempest with the lounge being STABLounge?

#TrekBeyond is what I got for the main game. For the lounge I can do whatever. STABLounge maybe

Here's the log

Thank you for posting the log, unfortunately it stopped logging after a point. So it's kind a cut off part way through. But that helps.

Dang I hadn't noticed that. I don't think it missed too much though.

Imma just tag everything # thankgodfortrost now.

Something I threw together while I was at work. Had to pull names out my buttocks.
Edited Last 3/15/2017 - Corrected Annie's name, and added a Requested name.

Since you guys helped essentially build and decide on the ship if you would like me to put your name or an Alias in there for you, let me know. Cant really be a character per say. But I can put something in there for you. Just PM me and let me know what you want put in.

Pulling names out of you buttocks hmm? I wasn't aware that Chas, Robin and Penny resided in your ass.

Also, Benhman? Really?

LOLOL Woops - I'll correct it. I didn't even catch it.

As far as those people, they all had an impact in my life in some way. For better or worse. Up until the end of TOL Penny and I were pretty good friends. I really liked Robin. She was a great person and a great simmers back in the day. I loved collaborating with her on things. She had a great mind. LOL But yes, Chas might have inhabited my ass for a bit. Because he's Chas. LOL

It just amused me, don't mind me being a PITA.

Fixed, and added a name.

It was lit

Great sim last night ya'll. Sorry I had to cut out, but I had my D&D group here waiting on me to start. Were playing every other Saturday so it wont interfere with me hanging out late as needed every other weeked at least. I greatly appreciate your understanding.

Some interesting ideas came up for sure. Logs should be interesting.

Just a quick couple of things:

1.) CJ's going to be primarily posting information and updates over on the ST:AB forums so if you have questions or concerns please ensure you've got an account signed in over there and check the OOC channel under the Odyssey board for info.

2.) They are starting to put together a club handbook I would suggest reading it to make sure were falling within the guildlines they are putting in place, primarily in regards to language. LOL Some of us can be bad.

3.) I spoke to CJ there is going to be about a 2 week time frame change between our last sim and the next one that were picking up. I would encourage you to write some logs to cover the passage of time. To that end here are some considerations:

I spoke to Cj about the Proposal to join the True Fed as a covert deal and he said that's a no-go. LOL Which is what I figured he might say so that could certainly be a character development for Sully and Johnny's character.

You can use this time to talk about having touched base with old friends, family, etc. As CJ said, not everyone's gone. LOL

I would also suggest maybe trying to work together over the next few days to do "Joint post/logs" you can see the one that Annie just posted on the ST:AB forums that the two of us did as an example. I'm open to doing them, and I may be looking to try and do one myself with Sully.

So consider that nothing super eventful has happened during our transit to Starbase 313.

This is a great opportunity to write and do some character development behind the scenes.

4.) Our next Sim will pick up with us having already been at Starbase 313 where we were heading for Evaluations.

As your aware the group is using their own version of a Stardate so go ahead and use that. But for the purpose of grounding us with a Calendar date the last sim took place on December 7, 2396, which puts our next sim picking up sometime around we can call it December 22, 2396. So you have that time frame in which to work with in your logs/joint posts.

Have some fun. I'm going to provide you guys with some info via PM to help foster additional lines of communications.

Okay, I had not realized that I was that far behind in posting my logs on here. Sorry about that ya'll. Once I finish this weeks log I"ll be all caught up.

[mention]insertnamehere[/mention] playing tonight?

Do you guys all still have Discord?

Yes we use it for the chat here at the site.

I've been kind of bad about keeping the logs up to date here, I apologize. I''ve gotten them caught up as far as posting them. I will try and keep them up to date more often here so everyone can see that the RP is still alive and running. 8-) It's been a great road, we past 52 Sessions a few sessions ago. We've expanded our crew a bit over the last year growing from just what we had here to nearly a full crew albeit not always present. LOL

Crew Roster as it stands today:
Commanding Officer - Captain Oliver Savage - Played by SokothQultq (Daniel) - Acquired from "The Syndicate"
Executive Officer - Commander Sully Derringer - Played by DharmaHelper (DH) - Acquired from "The Syndicate"
Chief Medical Officer - Lieutenant Commander Elianna Kestran (SpaceDaisy/Annie) - Acquired from "The Syndicate"
Security Officer - Lieutenant Noemi Idaris - Acquired through Star Trek: Above & Beyond
Tactical Officer - Lieutenant Junior Grade - Johnny Cleveland - Acquired from "The Syndicate"
Science Officer - Lieutenant Junior Grade - Cameron Corcoran - Acquired from "The Syndicate" - On a Leave of Absence
Operations Officer - Ensign Melody Wythe - Recruited through Annie
Engineering Officer - TBD Engineer (eric)- Recruited by Daniel (Co-Worker)
CJ - Game Director (Sim Master/Game Master) - Ackquired through Star Trek: Above & Beyond

Always room for more! If you know someone who you think might be interested, have them drink the Star Trek RP Koolaid!

Thank you guys for keeping this going, I cannot say that enough I'm really enjoying this and the more it and our characters develop makes it that much more every time!

I quite enjoy my time playing with you guys. We've been able to keep this crazy thing going for quite a while now. I hope you all enjoy it too and I am super grateful for Cj and Dan running this madhouse!

Enjoy your holiday break everyone and I look forward to the resolution of our cliff hanger next year!

You ready to get back to work? LOL Dust off your uniforms, and your hot pants!

[mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] [mention]insertnamehere[/mention] [mention]Glorfindel[/mention]

Ready to resume the madness tomorrow? When we left off it was an intense plot and I am super excited to see where Cj takes us next! Glorf if you are still on LOA, it's all good. No pressure. But whenever you feel up to coming back we will be happy to see you again.

I've got my short shorts ready.

Went ahead and updated the Captain's logs on the site since its been a while.

The Tempest/Odyssey Station is still moving along strong. Were still looking for a few more people to fill the ranks, we need a Helmsman, and Chief Engineer if you find yourself interested in trying out.

We still meet Saturday's at 1850 with a Start time of 1900 and run until 2000 Pacific Time. We play over MIRC Chat on a platform called Mibbit.

He means trying it out, no auditions are needed, we'd love to have you come play with us.

Hey All,

So for this coming weekend's meeting on Saturday at our normal time to talk with Cj and amongst ourselves about our 4 week break and lull and character development/writing opportunities, to help include Annie since she will be on the road we are going to do it over Discord Chat (Not voice). I made sure CJ was okay with this. Bring your thinking caps so we can help you work on your character development so we have some material to cover the break as needed. Hope to see you there!


Dan - AKA Oliver

PS if you need a link to the STAB Discord Server let me know and I'll get you one.

Aaaaand I can't access the Discord Chat where the meeting about character development is happening.

SOS. Please send help.

Hey all,

The Tempest is still looking for a couple of players if anyone finds they have the time and are interested. Granted you can always work with another department, but right now were still looking for an Engineer and a Helmsman/Flight Operations officers.

We meet Saturday's at 1900-2000 Pacific, 2200-2300 East, we generally try and meet 10 minutes prior in case there is anything that needs to be gone over, and we debrief for about 10 minutes after. This is conducted over an IRC chat room, and we can provide you with a few options to connect using IRC.

We also welcome walk in players, people who can't fully commit to a time slot but want to show up from time to time and play when they have the time.

If your interested and have questions feel free to PM me, SpaceDaisy, InsertNameHere, or DharmaHelper as we are all players in the game.
We post logs here, I usually post mine in batches to the Syndicate Site, you can view them more frequently here: http://startrekab.proboards.com/board/8/tempest and other information about our game. This is for all levels of Role Players so don't feel that just because you don't have experience counts you out. We are more than willing to work with you to help you understand how to play.

We also welcome people who may not know a lot about Star Trek but would enjoy rping. *cough* [mention]MacDougall[/mention] *cough*

I take this as official consent to join our crew. We will get you the written contract for signature shortly.

I did offer to join as a grumpy admiral turning up intermittently to bark orders but I was told that position was already filled by ika and silverwolf.
