America has won the Gameplay Award in the Tournament of Sims!

I apologize for my absence. Running for judge has been time consuming. Also, with my wife having had breast cancer surgery, I was on triple duty between playing lawyer, taking care of family, and running for judge. In the interim, I was hoping for a set of posts to start, but they had not. So, in the next few days I'm going to set a post up assuming part of the plot occurred and getting things moving again.

Let's make America even greater!

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Thu May 15th, 2025 @ 4:55pm by Captain Kelly O'Connor & Lieutenant JG T'Pruk & Lieutenant Prudence Devin & Lieutenant JG Axel Heskin & Lieutenant JG Cara Ross & Lieutenant JG Eliza Kovaks

The door slid open to the science department, a tall man with frosty white hair stepped inside. He looked around, to take a better look at what there was here. Unlike the first time he had arrived, it didn't seem empty, for he heard some movement, coming from somewhere. "Hello is anyone here?"

Pon farr was upon her. She knew it and Brian would know it too. Her emotions were barely bottled and for some reason that she could not fathom, it felt like it was getting more difficult than normal to even hold that at bay. The Vulcan came…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Sat Apr 26th, 2025 @ 4:44pm by Lieutenant Eric Thornton & Lieutenant Prudence Devin

Eric was hurt. He held his right hand with his left, as if it might fall off as he entered into sickbay. His hair was a very light blonde, almost white. However, down the center, his hair was spiked and dyed green to match his eyes. He wore a gold jeweled necklace and had a circular gold earring in each ear. In a musical high pitched voice, he exclaimed dramatically, "Doctor! Oh, woe is me! I need a doctor ever so badly! I can't have this injury festering much longer. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Will someone ever help me?"

There…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Sat Apr 26th, 2025 @ 4:42pm by Captain Kelly O'Connor & Petty Officer, 1st Class Goldie Brown

O'Connor had to wonder why Goldie was acting strange. It was almost as if Goldie suspected that there was something wrong with her. But what would be wrong with herself? She felt fine - better than fine, really. She just needed to find a way to lure Zim to her quarters and then they'd both be better than fine. She wondered if the Capellan could handle her. Few could.

When they got to the meeting room, O'Connor said, her Irish accent starting to become more obvious. "I guess that we should get this report out of the way, lass? Are…

Axel walked along the corridor of the ship, his goal the gymnasium. He was hoping to find an area to where he could do some handball practice. He wore a pair of dark blue shorts which hit an inch above his knees, Paired with the dark blue shorts would be a light blue t-shirt, and his runners were dark grey. Over one shoulder he had draped a towel and had a bottle of water in his left hand.

The door opened to the Gym, Axel gazing at the set up. A track for running, a place to lift weights, exercise…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past

The moment that America was inside the shuttlebay, O'Connor practically ran to the hatch to exit. A large puff of pollen exited with her and floated upwards into the air ducts. She immediately commanded, "Zim, take our Romulan friend to the brig and interrogate her if she wakes up." She thought further and said, "Maybe also have medical check in on her. She didn't act like she did before. After you're done, feel free to come and locate me," she told Zim with a crooked smile. "We can talk about all of your security concerns then."

"Aye Captain." Zim said…

“Assistant Chief Medical Officer’s log.

I have started to settle in here on the USS America. Although very different from my previous civilian life, I have come to embrace what Starfleet does. What once was a means to an end has slowly become something I care about. It is not just the values, although those matter. Exploration, seeking out new life, new civilizations…discoveries. Advancement. It is all tenants which I can hold close. Of course, there are some things I find strange to this day.

Before I joined Starfleet, I didn’t realise that there were no designated therapists. While a…
