For the benefit of the new crew, those like myself who forget things, and for the sake of cluttering up the threads with yet another one, I thought I’d pop in the sim update that I had done for the fleet report this month.

The Manhattan has experienced two separate waves of an unknown energy that in both instances affected time and space .. a star becoming a red giant and back again, a mysterious alien race from the ‘Crimson Hegemony’ appearing and attacking the ship but at that moment winked out of existence as another wave passed. Some crew had mysterious aging changes in the process . Two perished, but most looked to be only a difference of a few years plus or minus. From the second wave they managed to triangulate to this world which, when arrived, finds it mostly desolate but for a single city.

After a period of trying to make contact, a computer responded, warning them away in stating that the planet, called Marilia, was under ‘temporal quarantine’, whatever that was. After being scanned by an advanced technology, they were hailed by one Marilian named Kela, self identified as a priestess adept. She indicated as well that they should not be there and were in danger of the ‘time wash’, and was surprised that they had survived the ‘time slip’, whatever those terms were, but invited the Manhattan crew down.

Currently they are working out the logistics of this and where to park the ship and who to take down to the Marilian city. In sickbay, two of the affected crew NE’s and the counselor are trying to work out a possible cause of how this wibbly wobbly time stuff happened anyway. Some of the questions they were bringing up were whether the ship could land or come under the cover of the modest shielding over the city, whether what happened to them moved them in time or space or both or neither, and whether the Marilian City had a good hot dog stand. Well, okay, I’m curious about that as the Wookiee is craving hot dogs so chances are pretty good in that regard.
