Starfleet Academy Report - December 2023

USS Challenger

Commanding Officer: Steve Johnson

How is your ship looking overall? December was a slow month for the Challenger. Between the holidays and RL slowing down our GM, we have not progressed far with the simm at this moment. We are also short on cadets again.

Goal in January is to get the DH’s back to a regular posting schedule with or without cadets.

What was your favorite moment/post on the ship this month (include a link if possible!)?

Name one thing you want to improve on the ship for next month.Posting. Always posting.

I also want to start a library of helpful tips for new members.

Executive Officer: Mika Jackson

How are the DHs doing? Are they all active and participating, both in the main sim and in any side sims? While we’ve unfortunately had one DH who dropped out, the remaining officers are performing admirably and actively participating in the sim. I would like to express my appreciation and recognition for their dedicated efforts.

How are the JOs doing? Are the all active and participating, both in the main sim and in any side sims? We currently have only one JO, who has attempted to return and participate by posting, though it has been somewhat inconsistent. Despite the ups and downs, I believe in his potential and sincerely hope to see him fully engage and play an active role in the ongoing sim.

Who is the shining star this month? The shining STARS this month are the two DHs on board: Amdirgol S., our Chief Science Officer, and Kieron, our Chief of Security. Their continued posting even during slow times deserves recognition. Great job, guys!”

Gamemaster: Lindsay B

Summarize the sim plot so far as if you were providing it to a new member joining the ship: The crew is waiting to rendezvous with the the Corvallen freighter to take their cargo off their hands to keep it out of the hands of the Orions who have been attacking.

Who was the biggest contributor this month to driving the sim forward? The bridge crew is doing the most, but the COS and CSO have gotten involved too. We haven’t made a lot of progress in Dec due to my LOA, the holiday, and then my being sick. There’s always January.

FComm’s Comments: It’s been a slow month for the Challenger however the main crew has been active. Now that we have made it through the holiday season, I fully expect things to pick up. I want to recognize the whole crew of the Challenger for pushing through, being resilient, and remaining active during a slow couple of months.
