(OOC: That’s fine by me. It is good idea actually to have some of other races included into this, beacause as the story will unfold, we will need any help we can get since this is going to get very nasty, very soon Btw I laughed hard at the line with misplaced station and I still do every time I read it 😆
@horrid: Also very good introduction post. As for what Sirius wasn’t saying, I think that has something to do with that USS Hera if I’m correct. I hope more of people will join us soon. Now let’s get back to our story, shall we )

USS Dragonstar – en route to Deep Space 3 (map link in the first post)

Scarlett Miyazaki, a former Borg drone has been watching her console expecting something unusual to be detected by Dragonstar’s sensors, but there was nothing at the moment besides the systems, stars, asteroids, nebulas and other common things found in space. Suddenly something unknown appeared at the sensors and she said: Captain, I’m reading an unknown energy signature at our starboard side.

Hearing that Sirius immediately ordered to her: Run full scan of it.

Scarlett acknowledged his command and started typing set of commands in her console, but before she could find out anything more about that unknown anomaly it disappeared. It’s gone sir. – she said with an expression of disappointment in her voice.

Sirius asked her then: Have you managed to find out anything at all about it?

No sir. – Scarlett replied to him.

Sirius sighed and went silent for a moment before he stood up from his chair again and addressed (almost) everyone on the bridge: Alright, I want all senior officers with me to a briefing room.
Second later everyone was out of his/her chair and followed Sirius to a briefing room. Once they walked inside and when they all settled in their chairs, Sirius started talking: Ok, so we have a strange situation here. More than 12 hours ago Deep Space 3 long sensors detected unusual readings and sent one of her runabouts to it. It has not returned since and about hour and half or so, station went dark too. (he paused a bit before resuming) Now it may be just a communications blackout, but I certainly doubt it. So before I came to the bridge, I did a little research of my own.
Sirius then stood up from his chair and went to the screen in the corner wall of briefing room right next to one of the its windows. By pressing few buttons he brought up picture of USS Hera file.
I hope everyone knows about disappearance of this ship. – he said while pointing at the screen.

Everyone in the room nodded to him expect Lissan who said with puzzled expression of her face: Yes, but that was almost 18 years ago. Why do you think it is connected with these recent events admiral Picard sent us to investigate?

Listening to her, Scarlett interfered in the conversation: Hold on commander. Captain’s logic is sound. While it may have past a lot of time since the incident with USS Hera, there are still two things that are same in both cases. First, there is complete communications blackout, and second, it is happening at almost the same place where Hera was.

Exactly! That is why I thought of it in the first place. – Sirius agreed with her before resuming: However, with this little information, we still don’t know what might have happened, or what it is actually happening. What happened to USS Hera was never resolved and Starfleet tried to explain it as the events of chaotic space, but that doesn’t help us a lot and even if that is a case, we can’t do nothing about it since we a have a little to no understanding how that happens, where and when exactly.

As Sirius paused for a bit, T’Luminareth joined the discussion: Maybe it has something to do with that energy signature which Mrs. Miyazaki detected before we came here.

Sirius’ response on that was quick: Perhaps, but we don’t know anything about of that either, since it was gone to soon to get a decent sensor sweep of it. Still, we have to…

Scarlett then remembered something and interrupted Sirius before he could finish the sentence: I apologize for interruption captain, but I just remembered of something. Something that happened while I was still a part of collective.

Sirius nodded to her and said: Alright, go ahead lieutenant.

And then Scarlett went on with her story: At stardate 59099.327 we have finally managed to assimilate homeworld of species 10647. They were a very old race with a long lifespan and have had a great deal of information about our galaxy and the other dimensions as well. Between their reports we stumbled upon one that was particularly interesting and yet different from anything we have ever known.
One of the species 10647 vessels has reported an encounter with a race from another dimension. It was stated in report that the race was so hideous and horrifying that even the collective and other races they had conflicts with were an annoyance compared to that particular encounter. In the report were also stated extreme blood-lust and powers beyond anything they ever encountered before.

Everyone went silent and expressions of their faces now divulged even greater concern before they heard Scarlett’s story. Sirius was first to break the silence with question: Was there anything else in that report Mrs. Miyazaki?

Scarlett quickly responded to him: Yes it was. Commander of that ship wrote in his report that they barely managed to escape, because they tried to pull it into their dimension.

Then a shocking silence occurred again before Lissan spoken now: In that case, I suggest we go to maximum combat readiness immediately.

I concur. We cannot take any chances if that is true. – T’Luminareth agreed with her.

Others just nodded or spoken their agreement too, before Sirius also acknowledged his agreement and started issuing orders: Agreed! Mrs. Endilev, you will make sure everyone is ready to fulfill their given task and to prepare yourself if needed to take over command.

Then he turned his head toward Daniel: Chief, you must make sure that all of our systems are fully functional and that they are working at 100 percent efficiency.

They both nodded to him, before he turned attention towards his tactical officer: As for you subcommander, I want you to have all of our phaser arrays and spinal lance cannons charged, as well as all torpedo tubes loaded and both turrets and fighters ready to be deployed if we will have to fight.

Understood sir. – T’Luminareth acknowledged his orders, giving Sirius opportunity to address his security officer: Mr. M’Toui, you will prepare and help to properly equip all our marines and crewmembers with weapons and personal shields in case we are going to get boarded.

Qa’pla sir! – said Klingon with his sharp voice, which gave Sirius a sign to address his main medical officer: Doctor Keller, make sure that our both sickbays are prepared for receiving and treating wounded personnel. I also want you to give everyone their pocket hyposprey so they can treat their minor wounds without moving from their positions.

Yes, captain. – Ashley agreed and that made possible for Sirius to give an order to his science/operations officer: Mrs. Miyazaki, you will have to calibrate our sensors palletes and tachyon scanners to a maximum settings so we can quickly detect and scan anything odd that might occur. Besides that you will also try search and find for any possible ways of pulling us out if those aliens try to get us trapped into their dimension.

Miyazaki’s response was quick and sure: Acknowledged sir.

After that, Sirius turned his head towards his helm officer: And when it comes to you Mr. Lukin, I want you to increase speed to maximum warp so we can get to Deep Space 3 as soon as possible.

Why don’t I simply engage our quantum-slipstream drive? – asked him Bronar curiously.

Sirius replied to him without hesitation: Because we need to monitor if that anomaly will appear before, and in case there’s a sudden transdimensional rift opening.

Ah, I understand sir. – Lukin said with a brief nod, and then asked: Should I also relay information we discovered to any ship that might respond to our message?

Yes, that is a good idea Mr. Lukin. – agreed with him Sirius before he said: Alright, I believe that everyone knows their tasks and that we are ready to go, so you may return to your stations.

Then everyone stood up from their chairs and went to the bridge except for the Sirius who took another looked at the USS Hera on the wall screen. We might finally resolve your mistery. – he thought looking at the picture. Then he also left the briefing room and headed for the bridge. Everyone were at their stations when Sirius walked onto the bridge and finally settled in his chair. Seeing his captains return, Bronar addressed him without hesitation: We have just picked up a message from Captain James Washington of the USS Curtana. They are on their way to Deep Space 3, sir.

Very well. Send them all the necessary information about the possible situation and wish them good luck. – Sirius ordered him.

Already done sir. – Bronar said while typing commands in his console.

Later after a moment of silence Lissan voiced her concern: Only one ship responded to our hail so far. I have a bad feeling about this captain.

Sirius then tried to comfort her a little: Well, there is still some time before we arrive there, and besides, we are not sure what really happened in the first place.

True, but I’m still not feeling any better about it. – Lissan responded to him and Sirius agreed with letting a sigh: Yeah, me neither.

(OOC: And so that’s it for now. Hope you will like how I handled the story plot so far and to write something soon.

[Sovereign47]

Excellent bio horrid! Hope that your ship specs will keep this quality

[Sovereign47]

It’s better now, just correct ship specs commissioned line, since it would have been a little odd for your ship to be constructed in 2410. while the events of the story happen in 2388. Unless your ship is from future 😆 Everything else is more than fine 😎

[Sovereign47]

That’s good, just try to fix your characters age and service record so it matches with the year in which this RP’s events are supposed to happen. That year is 2388. The reason why I choose this particular year is that during STO timeline universe is far too chaotic for this story to work. I hope that’s ok with you. Just modify your bio and ship specification a little so they could fit into this storyline. And thank you for applying to RP. Hope you’ll join us soon in our horrifying adventure

OOC: it would be great if Kylar and me don’t have same engineering specialization. I could change it to make my skills more useful for the story.

True, that would be better. Talk it out with Kylar so you could decide what specialization your characters will have.

As for the story prologue, I’m sorry for being late (got occupied with omega stabilization ), I’ll try to come up with something most probably today. Again, I’m sorry for delay.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

So I might be a little late, but I have finally managed to write a decent prologue (at least I think it is decent ) to the RP storyline I promised we will create and here it is:

STAR TREK: Into the mouth of madness (open RP thread)

I hope you’ll like it, and if you need to ask questions about it or share some impressions about it, do it here in this thread. The thread in the link above is only for the storyline (ofc, here and there some OOC questions are welcome if marked properly as I explained in the introduction post of this thread.). I’m looking forward to your participation in our exciting RP 🙂

sorry I started thinking about my character in game and might have gotten carried away I’ll chance it.

It’s ok now. Good to have you onboard 🙂

@Damix wrote:

Sounds good! I’m signing up.

I’ll edit this post tomorrow to write about my character and ship. This will be great opportunity to develop my newest character as she doesn’t have any background story.

Nice, I’m looking forward to our upcoming RP and character developments

Btw, I’ll write that prologue tommorow. Too tired now and with a lack of inspiration currently.

Note to Devs, I really, really, really want this in my next lockbox.

😆 well, as long as I get a credit for it, since I came with that crazy idea

@KYLAR: That’s all good, just try to fix your characters age and service record so it matches with the year in which this RP’s events are supposed to happen. That year is 2388., so your character would be 38 years old if I’m not mistaken. The reasons why I choose this particular year are explained in my previous post. I hope that’s ok with you. Just modify your bio and ship specification a little so it could they could fit into this storyline. Thank you for applying to RP. I will wrote an introduction post today or tommorow (today is more probably) 🙂

Sounds really cool sovereign. I’ll wait until your next post so I see what format you are presenting your own character’s in.

Thanks! I was just writing it when you posted

So as I promised here it comes. But before that, I should inform you that the period of events in this RP isn’t the current one as in STO, but one long ago before it’s timeline while still about decade after events of Nemesis (year 2388.). I hope that’s ok with you, because the things back in that time aren’t as nearly complicated as they are during STO’s timeline. All those conflicts between Klingons, True Way, Borg, Undine, Voth, Vaadwaur, Iconians and other species are giving me headaches and are not a good setting for the intended storyline. However I’m giving you a flexibility when it comes to ships, so you may even use a Guardian, Odyssey and similar classes and even make them more powerful than Enterprise E which is still around and Picard is still her captain (ok, he is admiral now, but he retained command of his beloved ship ). Anyway, please try to at least stay with canon weapons such as phasers, photon, quantum and transphasic torpedoes. If you know what I mean ofc

I’m not a fan of JJ Trek so I hope ST3 will be better. If they return to prime universe in the next movie and save Romulus, that would complicate things for STO,hehe

True, that would be great, but I don’t think they’ll be heading that direction. However, the story about Federation-Klingon war seems very possible and that would be also nice

[Sovereign47]

Wasn’t so funny to me at first, until I read this line:

Since I’ve been playing so long, I was having dreams about the game and attributing qualities of it to things in the real world like driving my car figuring what turn rate it might have and if my next car should be better.

😆 😆 😆

I almost felt of my chair from all the laugh.

@Marcase: I would suggest conductive RCS accelerator (MX IV, epic ofc). It’s better

[Sovereign47]

I saw this movie in IMAX and while most of my friends didn’t really liked, I enjoyed it very much. Alright, I still might not like the idea of alternate universe, but movie itself was awesome. From acting, to action and effects and even storyline, everything was great. And that Vengeance is one mean ship (like those cannons very much)

[Sovereign47]

This is very nice. If you can hang both of them, do so. Otherwise I would go for the Galaxy class or even better find such picture of Sovereign class (my favorite)
Btw if I may notice, you’re pretty look to work with so many girls

[Sovereign47]

I can listen to a lot of different kinds of music (from electronic music and pop, all the way to black metal :mrgreen:), but I’m mostly into rock and metal. One of my favorite bands is Running Wild (German pirate metal). Two years ago I was on Iron Maiden concert and it was great 😀 (would be better if I was able to acquire tickets for a place closer to stage, but it was ok considering the low price I payed ). And while I do love some of STO’s music (especially that main theme which is awesome), I do like from time and time put some of my own song into music player.

An example of a perfect song for heavy fight in STO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yHuuBZgif0

[Sovereign47]

Besides Star Trek Online I mostly prefer single player games (STO is actually only MMO RPG that got me hooked up to this level and I believe that only GTA Online could do the same). Some of them which I am currently playing are GTA IV (almost finished), Need For Speed Carbon (muscle cars are my favorite, and there’s plenty of them ) and F.E.A.R. (awesome old school FPS with elements of horror). I have more games installed, but I play mostly those 3 I mention besides STO. In some closer future I intend to resume Dead Space which I intend to complete for a second time (it is an awesome game, you got to admit).

[Sovereign47]

Thank you for your invitation and for making me one of your members. I’m looking forward to playing with you and having fun 😀

Btw sorry for a little late reply. I’ve been mostly outside this weekend so I didn’t had much time to get to the computer and so. I hope that is not a problem
