    Mabey we can kill two birds with one stone, by sending him off the ship for the long-term extensive care we can write him off the story for now while still leaving the option for him coming back later. We can have a send-off and everything if you want as well.

    My character could notify the First Officer that his condition is deteriorating and the Ares doesn't have the medical equipment to keep him alive for much longer. We could then send him on a shuttle with someone from my staff to Earth or the nearest federation sector hospital?

    I want to leave it open for Eaglesg's character to resume his position IF he comes back, so I'm leaning toward sending him to long-term extensive care, which would have to be on DS9; it's the closest, right? We'd have to send our Argo class or Captain's Yacht, maybe with some tactical modifications; the pirates we ran into.

    Okay, I'm all about this. We'll have a send off for the unconscious captain because his condition is deteriorating and the Ares doesn't have the medical equipment to keep him alive for much longer. Let's do it.

    He could get some fighter escort, too, and they'll have some trouble, of course haha

    Wow. Wrapped up my first week at a new job and the first thing I hear coming back is that Eagles is gone. He’s going to be deeply missed. Lets carry our heads high and keep enjoying our adventure. It’s what he would want us to do.

    Sounds good to me. An option we can have is that other casualties are also getting sent back to DS9 and that a shuttle will be sent from the station to bring replacement officers to the Ares. That way we have an explaination for having other officers joining the crew, such as a new Captain to stand-in for Eagles’ character if we feel that is needed.

    If not, here is an idea. Nesta’s character, R’Turan, is to be the captain while my officer, Teriir, becomes his XO. The other character I started putting work into, Locke, can assume the role of tactical officer. I know it’ll be a lot of work on my end but I am more than willing to do it so we can continue the role play.

I know it’ll be a lot of work on my end but I am more than willing to do it so we can continue the role play.
    Nesta and I discussed that, R'Turan being promoted and Teriir becoming XO, since that's the natural order of things. I'm playing with the idea that Hood gets promoted to XO, just so things are easier to write. If I get the CO position, it might be easier to be the XO on the ship. I'd have to do like what Janeway did, she started as a science officer and switched to command. The reason I took the science officer position is because I was a simulation officer. We got to see how the cookie crumbles.

    I wouldn't want anyone writing two main character positions; 1) one is plenty and 2) we want to get as many people involved as possible, but that's a good idea. Locke could do it temporarily, if Teriir goes to CO, but I'd like to get another real person in there as soon as possible.

    Would DS9 send shuttles or would another starship meet us halfway? I don't think we should send regular shuttles back; it's too dangerous with pirates taking advantage of things, if they attacked us, they'll pick off some little shuttles.

    We'd have to send our Argo class or Captain's Yacht, maybe with some tactical modifications; the pirates we ran into earlier. He could get some fighter escort, too, and they'll have some trouble, of course haha

    - - - Updated - - -

    Now, I'm also thinking that DS9 would send a ship to us; we're close to the DMZ. We'd have a funeral, jettison the captain to be picked up by the Defiant-B so we can continue our mission? We have three other planets suffering and in need of supplies. We are going to need our fighters in the future, too.

We got to see how the cookie crumbles.
    I agree with you there on seeing how things go. Whoever the CO is, they should be either the Captain or XO of the ship. I know from the sound of things, a number of us have stepped forward to becoming the CO of the role play.
    I wouldn't want anyone writing two main character positions; 1) one is plenty and 2) we want to get as many people involved as possible, but that's a good idea. Locke could do it temporarily, if Teriir goes to CO, but I'd like to get another real person in there as soon as possible.
    This is very fair and it would be good to have someone new come in to fill in for a position. On the science side, I'm guessing your Vulcan character, Falora, would fill in until someone new joins us if you become the CO.
    Would DS9 send shuttles or would another starship meet us halfway? I don't think we should send regular shuttles back; it's too dangerous with pirates taking advantage of things, if they attacked us, they'll pick off some little shuttles.
    They'll most likely send out their runabouts or the Defiant to meet up with whatever we send. I'm thinking we'll send both our Argo and Delta Flyer (We have one on board) along with a fighter screen to meet up with them before returning to the Ares if we decide on the runabouts. Perhaps the station even has its own Delta Flyer at this point. If we choose to have the Defiant meet up with us, I think we may as well have them come all the way over to rondevu with our ship since it's much faster than the runabouts and other shuttles.

We have three other planets suffering and in need of supplies. We are going to need our fighters in the future, too.


    Unfortunately, DS9 actually has a smaller facility than ours on the Ares, after all, it was a station orbiting a planet meaning that any serious injuries would just be transported to the major hospitals on Bajor. But it might not be up to par with Starfleet and the captain's requirements.

    What I suggest is that a Hospital Ship (Olympic-Class) would rendezvous with us at our first stop, I doubt we will need to send any medical officers over because, well it's a medical ship. But we could if we want. The ship would then transport the captain to the closest first-class hospital. (Whether that be Bajor, Cardassia or Earth) and he might spend a few months recovering or what not.

    Unfortunately, DS9 actually has a smaller facility than ours on the Ares, after all, it was a station orbiting a planet meaning that any serious injuries would just be transported to the major hospitals on Bajor. But it might not be up to par with Starfleet and the captain's requirements.

    What I suggest is that a Hospital Ship (Olympic-Class) would rendezvous with us at our first stop, I doubt we will need to send any medical officers over because, well it's a medical ship. But we could if we want. The ship would then transport the captain to the closest first-class hospital. (Whether that be Bajor, Cardassia or Earth) and he might spend a few months recovering or what not.
    Okay, that's more practical and realistic; I bet there are still hospital ships around Cardassia, we could rendezvous with one before hitting Bryma. Right, no medical officers or staff would have to go anywhere. I'm imagining they'd head to Bajor; Cardassia probably has enough problems of their own still.

    How do you guys feel about combining our three stops into one and then heading out into the unknown? I wanted us to have three stops so we'd have more practice writing together, but I think we're ready for uncharted waters now, right?

    People haven't been posting for awhile and I'm wondering if it's because of our three stops haha you guys want to hurry up and get to the unknown after a first stop?

    Maybe we could do all three at the same time? It makes sense to think that our three stops are in the same system or are in neighbouring systems. We can position the Ares over one or have it act as a makeshift station where we could then send teams of officers in shuttles to each planet?

    This all depends on what the problems are for each planet. Are they the same or different?

    To be honest, I would rather have the stops than not. It gives us more of a setting beyond the Ares and I think a lot of us would like to have a chance to either explore some canon places a little bit before heading into unknown territory.

    We don't need to practice more; we just need to be more active in our postings to advance the story. I wouldn't be far off if I stated some of us who really want to make new posts and further the Ares' mission have to wait several weeks before someone else who we've talked to responds. In general, we need to be better about that as a whole since we're slowing ourselves down by not keeping up on our roles with weekly posts.

    I agree with Asteropax also, I think we need time to actually band together as a crew, my character has only interacted with a few of the staff so far, I was trying to aim for Angus Hems to have at least had an interaction between all the characters first before taking off into the unknown.

    These three planets are all in different systems, storywise, we'll instantaneously end up at the next stop soon as we finish the first, most likely. The captain would make a note in the log and we'd just transition over. It would save time if they were in the same system though, but canon got us on that. I'm glad you guys want the stops; they are canon locations and it'd be cool to interact with those areas and people on those planets. After these three spots, we're making it up as we go, flying blind haha.

    If people don't respond to your post in a week, two max, just move on with your character. If we try to wait for people, we're never going to move. People will respond when they can, IF they do. We can't bring everything to a halt waiting for people. Everyone has their reasons for delays, so we got to give them that. I got some open tags out there, too, but I just ignored it and kept going. Give people 2 weeks max to respond, then just keep trucking. People that come in late can just jump in where they are AFTER responding to tags.

    So... are we going with the idea that the Ares should act as a mobile station or orbit the planet that required the most help and then just send teams out to the other planets?

    That should be fine right?

    I don't think they'd do that because of pirates in the area, I think it'd be too dangerous. Instead, they'll hit one planet at a time. If they were in the same system, we'd do that, definitely. But, being they are in all different systems, we got to hit them as we get to them.
