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 Mon Feb 3rd, 2025 @ 6:08am by Lieutenant Haarris Zim & Captain Kelly O'Connor & Lieutenant JG Cara Ross

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…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Thu Nov 28th, 2024 @ 7:03pm by Captain Kelly O'Connor & Lieutenant Haarris Zim

The group was led to a thatch hut. The ground was covered with small bits of gravel. There were several ladders that led to perches with what seemed to be hastily put together thatch beds that looked like they may or may not support a human's body weight. In the side of the wall was a small pipe fountain that had running water. It was terribly rustic. Through various points in the "walls," were air slots and occasional bits of pollen floated into the "building."

The avian creature that led the party to this hut, left very shortly after showing…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Thu Mar 28th, 2024 @ 5:39am by Lieutenant Commander Amaya Capac & Lieutenant Cyrus Jericho

While Cyrus found a place to set up a shelter, Amaya found some food that the tricorder said was edible. That, and the rations they brought from the shuttle would hopefully be enough to keep them for a few days.
 
Cyrus put his hand-held phaser in its holster. "Make a list of everything we have. Rations... resources... things like that. We need to know how much we have so we know how much we can waste." He ran his hand through his hair, combing it back slightly, before looking back to her. "Amaya... We're gonna get out of this,…

Mission: Mission 8 - A Blast from the Past
Posted on Tue Jan 23rd, 2024 @ 5:53am by Lieutenant Vila Lorut & Lieutenant Kailani Young

Kailani walked into Sickbay. She smiled as she stepped inside, a warm, friendly smile. A relaxed smile. She was not bothered too much by these things. "I'm looking for Dr. Lorut," she said. "I'm Lieutenant Young."

Vila was at the computer, doing her notes for the day. She looked up. "I am Dr. Lorut," she said. "I'll be right with you. Who might you be?" Her eyes darted to her calendar, but she wanted to hear it from the woman. "You're late. By fifty-five seconds," she said, but stood up. "Let's begin." She led the woman to a private room,…

“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…
