Dear all,

I’ve unfortunately had to deroster Dr Symar from the position as CMO due AWOL. Kieron is welcome to come back at any time whenever life will allow him too. We’ll keep a biobed warm for him :)

I’ve had directives from top that there will be more focus on AWOLs from fleet leadership moving on. I ask you all to try stay active – just a one-sentence note every so often will keep your character within AWOL limits. But please talk to me if there’s anything, I’d be happy to brainstorm plot threads, sidesims, or just try and find a way to make it work. Life is difficult, our world is burning, and this place is our escapade. It shouldn’t feel like a chore. Anything we can do here to make it feel less like one?

That said, I’d like to invite you all to join me in welcoming back D, who’ll play our new medical officer Lieutenant Mykl Najjar. And Krys is bringing our old captain Stovik’s kid Lieutenant Junior Grade Sovan on board, also in Sickbay! It’ll be good fun seeing an active and engaging sickbay again. Welcome aboard!

– Ric (CO)
