So while I’m on the role of hammering out admin stuff I figured I would once more give a quick update on the state of the ship and sim plus thoughts for the near future.

1) The ship is doing grand in my book! Barring waiting to hear back from a few folks about position stuff or minor details all of you guys are rocking on the posting and engagement front so thank you! Again if anyone has someone they know who would fit our lovely ship send them my way! We especially need 1-2 JOs in medical and science currently.

2) State of the sim is going well. I’m hoping I’m being clear enough on dropping you all clues, its just now up to you guys to get together very soon to put the pieces together on what craziness is going on with Shanok! If you can’t figure it out feel free to do an OOC or ask me in discord or email me for more detailed clues/hints. At the same time if even then you can’t figure it out and something bad happens don’t despair part of the joy of writing is not all sims will have happy tidy endings. In fact I pride myself on having occasional ‘bad endings’ for sims as those often can help one generate interesting character development down the line!

3) On that note of character development, I want to encourage you all to do just that explore where you feel comfortable the ins and outs of your character’s personalities and/or history/future. If there is something you would like to see or have done in a side sim or where possible even main sim shoot me an email. Again I try to pride myself on including character development ideas or events for people in sims where I can! Obviously I can’t fit in everything all the time but I’ll work with people where I can.

4) As for the sim currently, just to update everyone the current department orders are as follows for what you all should be doing:
-Engineering: Investigate Shanok’s ship, get his computer logs and info back to the Captain!
-Security: Guard the assorted away team groups where you can things could be heating up again very soon!
-Science: Find out what’s at the bottom of that mystery lake!
-Medical: You’ve learned all you can about the mummies it might be a good idea to reconnect with the others and share your findings together!
-Operations: Keep digging for the written/computerized archives!

5) Lastly, the near future of the ship and sim. As you can probably guess our current sim is going to be wrapping up hopefully by new years or end of january (that’s my shot at least but if not no worries!). We will then continue on our overall series sims of exploring deep into the Beta Quadrant and being out of regular contact/support of the Federation while doing so. With that said while I do got some ideas where to go next and what we may encounter, I would LOVE to hear ideas keeping to this theme of what you all might like to do or see happen next, not just for your characters but for the ship as a hole. I try to mix stuff up to keep it from being boring so throw ideas out there, if any stick I’ll let you all know and work what I can into the over all sim series plans.
