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!

The following is a news item from Captain Kelly Jean O'Connor.

It has been nearly nine months since I last sent one of these out. I think that I should get back in the habit of doing it. Normally, I send these out on the first of the month (give or take a few days) to give an overview of everything that happened in the month before and of what our goals are for the upcoming month.

Crew

In July, we had 5 crew members.

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Wed Apr 2nd, 2025 @ 4:13am by Captain Kelly O'Connor & Lieutenant Haarris Zim & Lieutenant JG Cara Ross

It was a long way back to the shuttle but the tied up Romulan did not show any signs of waking up. As the party headed back to the shuttle, the pollen became even thicker, sometimes swirling so much to completely obstruct vision. Occasionally O'Connor coughed, but even so, she would glance over at Zim with a crooked smile. "If that Romulan becomes too much for you to carry, Zim, I can handle her." I could handle you too, she thought deliciously. Stop it, Kelly!

The Assistant Security Chief simply smiled in response to the Captain. He had the Romulan…

Mission: Mission 7 - Aenerth for an Earth
Posted on Wed Feb 26th, 2025 @ 4:39pm by Lieutenant JG T'Pruk & Lieutenant JG Brian Pendragon

Surprisingly, after having had her discussion with Brian, T'Pruk found that she was able to meditate. A half hour was a sufficient amount of time for T'Pruk to prepare herself to keep her emotions regulated. The only question was whether Brian was as timely as she. T'Pruk suspected that the engineer was. After all, Brian was a fairly logical human and he did not seem to suffer from many of the problems that plagued other irrational beings. Ending her meditation, she turned around expectantly.

Brian skidded in, trying to tame his wayward hair. Quite how a sonic shower could make…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Wed Feb 26th, 2025 @ 3:40pm by Lieutenant Drake Yarrow & Lieutenant Kailani Young & Lieutenant Glenn Radars

Drake was bored. Orbiting a planet was boring. There was nothing to do but just sit and wait until someone told him to plot a new course. Sure, if some hostile ship came out of the blue, he might be ordered to target it, but that seemed only slightly likely. Why would the Romulans trespass just barely on this side of the Neutral Zone? Clearly already had, but it seemed tactical and none of their ships were in sight.

With nothing to do, he decided that it was time to make something happen. He leaned over towards Kallani and asked…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past

O'Connor continued to march upwards towards the governmental buildings on the higher levels. Having taken some of Zim's advice (or all of it), the Captain refused to intervene in the native behaviors. The party could observe a number of different odd behaviors. Stores were being broken into and objects taken. Fights broke out on a moment's notice. Avians were having mating rituals in the street. Simply put, this did not appear to be an advanced civilization at all. Everything seemed primal and uncontained.

"I have never seen a civilization like this," O'Connor told everyone wonderingly.

Cara Ross felt a tingle…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Thu Jan 30th, 2025 @ 2:37am by Lieutenant Commander Amaya Capac & Lieutenant Cyrus Jericho

Amaya had all the food and medicine stored away and the cart, piled with blankets and the cleaned-off tarp, stashed in a corner. She tried not to pace as she waited for Cyrus, but he'd taken far longer than she expected and she was growing concerned.

When the sun was just above the treetops--or as best as she could tell with all the pollen in the air--she went back outside to look around. She wasn't going very far, but she was feeling too antsy to stay where she was. As a precaution, she made a scarf she could wear to…

“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…
