USS Dark Fire OoC

disodium is one of the substances that "our sensors can penetrate" on star trek. If you beam this in front of a enemy ship it blinds their sensors. Works better if shields are down. It lasts a very short time (few seconds)... but enough for Dark Fire to get away

Hora made this substance on a very early post in the story. To show the bridge team a trick to defeat multiple attacking ships.
 
As you know... Hora has no clue what the parasites like. But if the parasite agrees she will ask it what it likes.

You can write for Hora... if needed. :love:
 
Not sure what to write next. Does Captain Jo’vak believe the parasite are real? Does Hora have to vaporize Captain Vogh, to show him the parasite? Did the electricity hurt the parasite? Thanks :)
 
edited my post, and if you show him parasite out of host (you have plenty from the rabbits) he'll believe you.
 
FYI... flying so close to the engine wash... it tricky. but McLeo will pull it off.

As you can tell, something unplanned will happen on the scow. A few teams will be dumped into space and McLeo will research them. However, Commander Reeves will need to complete the mission with less teams/people.

I hope that is ok
 
What did you want to happen to team 2? Should they get captured? Are you ok with Ryn using his "force" abilties? (these are not the droids you are interested in). Also what was the plan, once all the bombs were set? How do you want team 1 and 2 return to USS Dark Fire?
 
Force power usage is alloweable :)

Dark Fire could transport them aboard once the charges detonate.

or if they get the shield frequency they could be beamed through the shields.
 
Added some more problems. :)
Commander Reeves might need to blow some charges to drop the intruder force fields... then the freqs Ensign Cook provided might work... or blow all charges and beam out that way.
 
What do you think the klingon captain will do?
I was planning on Hora and Reeves getting the space station logs (both admirals)... and finding out some good stuff. Any thougths on what that would be?
 
The First Admiral gave Hora the position to get the dark fire as far away from the station as possible. And she was far enough out of the chain of command that he figured she'd be to stupid to question the promotion. He'd assumed Reeves would mutiny within a month and take over due to her sheer incompetence in the position of captain.

the second admiral was a parasite. he kept no logs nor needed them.
 
What do you want the "sympathizer" assignment to uncover?

FYI... Hora loves being in command... She also thinks she has been effective against the parasite. She wants to defeat that threat to the federation. But she is not so arrogant to think that someone else might be a better captain. She is wondering if she should turn the ship over to someone that is more qualified.
 
Sympathizer - not much really. a couple small groups loyal to dead captains and friends. fighting back thinking it's all a trick by Hora. and her attempt to take over the Federation or Starfleet.

29, HUMAN (EARTH)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapist

APPEARANCE
  • HEIGHT : 5 feet 5 inches, 1.65 m
  • WEIGHT: 129 lbs
  • BUILD : Thin with most muscle coming from her legs, as she is an avid runner and traceur
  • HAIR : Platinum blonde
  • EYES : Brown
  • TATTOOS/PIERCINGS/MARKINGS:
    • A poorly executed tattoo on her collarbone of the name HYDRA in someone’s handwriting. She and her three closest friends each have a tattoo for each Antlia-Sextan constellation. She disguises this by wearing garments that cover her chest and neck
    • A scarred tree across her lower back, coming from an incident where she slid down a fence and accidentally caught some barbed wire
BIO
  • Xiana Beatriz Marlowe was raised by her Texan grandmother after her parents’ death. She was always a problem child, something that followed until her teenage years. Despite her grandmother’s attempts to guide her only grandchild, she dropped out of high school and filled her afternoons with either working part-time or helping her four closest friends with breaking and entering; she had very sturdy hands that made slipping into tracks or undoing old locks easy. After her grandmother’s death shortly after turning eighteen, she increased her participation in thievery and scamming with her group, especially since she was quick on her feet.
  • She grew talented enough to live comfortably by exploiting citizens who didn’t know better and the occasional heist. She normally enjoyed the challenge, until an attempt went wrong and resulted in one of her friends accidentally murdering someone. The aftermath of said event, which she barely managed to get out of without a charge, kickstarted her desire for a new life. She finished her basic education and pursued a career in psychiatry.
  • Aside from willing all her sympathy into her sessions, she initially keeps to herself, not wanting to attract any attention or establish more relationships than necessary. It typically works in her favor, as most people assume she is just an introvert. It makes things easier on the professional end as well, considering fewer people probing her means there’s less of a chance that they’ll look into her history.
  • She has wished to explore some day with leisure but now lives in her fantasies by being employed in ships. As a child, she wished that she could one day maneuver a personal ship of her own, but knew better than to be unrealistic.
  • She is undefined when it comes to her sexuality, but does not shy away from interactions with the same sex.
ON-BOARD COMMON KNOWLEDGE
  • She has a pet named Scuti, a fancy mouse she likely values more than some of her colleagues.
  • She can be found in her office most days or frequenting one of the ship’s running tracks, the holodecks for personal entertainment, or pacing the hallways solely to clear her mind.

32, HUMAN (EARTH) ♂
Weapons Technician

APPEARANCE
  • HEIGHT : 6'0 feet, 1.82m
  • WEIGHT: 198 lbs
  • BUILD : Mesomorph, quite muscular from both personal upkeep and the strenuous materials he often uses while on the clock.
  • HAIR : Brown
  • EYES : Blue
  • TATTOOS/PIERCINGS/MARKINGS :
    • No tattoos, piercings, or other willing body modifications. His arms have multiple (but small) burn marks, cuts, or faded scars due to his employment. They're not serious or large enough to require any restrictions or cause any daily inconvenience.
BIO
  • Alfredo Araiza ("Freddie" to those close to him) was born in Posadas, Argentina. Shortly after his seventh birthday, his parents decided to obtain a permanent residence in the United States. Although both had their degrees, the lack of English led to some financial complications in the country, especially with four children in total. Despite money being tight, he had a peaceful upbringing in the state of California, much of it being due to having other children he could communicate with. He was a decent student and quite lively.
  • As a teenager, he excelled in physics, chemistry, and other STEM adjacent courses. Ideally, he would have gone to a typical university to obtain a degree in astrophysics, but was unable to afford it, even with a few scholarships. Instead, he enlisted in the Air Force freshly after high school and eventually became a missile and space systems maintenance specialist. After a decade in the field - and one or two guilt-fueled sleepless nights - he departed from the military and instead began to work on ships with apprehensive capacities, eventually landing him on the Dark Fire as a weapons technician in the ranking of second lieutenant.
  • He isn't someone difficult to approach regularly, quite playful with those he calls his friends, but is known for having a short temper and being incredibly impatient at the smallest inconveniences, worsening with severity. He expects any work he oversees or contributes to to be flawless. He is not above degrading others when they fail to meet expectations, particularly in high stake situations, whether they work underneath or above him. A detail-oriented perfectionist, he refuses to tolerate any mediocrity around him. People seem to let his fits slide as he does deliver excellent work.
  • Recently widowed, he has no plans to ever return to Earth. Even though he keeps close tabs on his family back home, he foresees working onboard for the rest of his life.
  • He is bisexual.
ON-BOARD COMMON KNOWLEDGE
  • He is currently on leave, attending counseling for the preservation of his job.
  • He lost his wife, Bree, two years prior. It continues to be a sensitive topic that he prefers to avoid.
  • He can be found at his Workshop most days developing new machinery. Otherwise, his leisure time is split between wasting time with his colleagues, frecuenting the Red Section where he has become a regular at the watering holed (including casual intimacy with one of the bartenders) or waking with whoever he went to bed with that evening. If it’s sentinent and consents, he’ll likely fuck it.

Thank you! I know I’m waiting for a proper intro, but is there anything you feel I should know so far on dynamics/your characters?
 
I have been trying to follow the personality I wrote up for Hora (see below). Your character can figure out she is a Impulsive and Adventurous Personality type. She is more impulsive, sensation-seeking, and adventurous leading to more risk taking.

Also as an Orion she has a very strong sex drive. But as captain, she is not getting much sex. That is kind of a problem for her.

Personality:
Hora is a real character; she wants nothing more than to enjoy life. She is a naturally playful and happy person, and not much gets her down for long. Her world is a fun place—she is not naive, but rather chooses to see the humorous in things. She's very easygoing about things and comes across as genuinely warm, charming, and friendly, which happens often since she deeply enjoys personal interaction (which she does with a lot of laughing, flirting, physical touching, and eye contact).

As much as she likes to talk and laugh with others, she is actually very closed about her internal world and background, and she always finds a slippery way to change that subject. Cultural norms don't play an important role for her, except that she enjoys breaking them—not because she enjoys chaos, but simply because she thinks most rules are uselessly restrictive. This is one reason why she frequently engages in pranks and practical jokes, to shake things up and "punish" people who are too serious.

She is a very erotic creature, largely because she finds flirting and sex to be fun. She can be brazen in her sexual expression, although she knows when to turn it off.

Character Bio/History: Hora is somewhat an outcast in star fleet. She is smart and capable, but many people think she has used her beauty and Orion female pheromones to get ahead. As a result, she went into the science field, where she mainly worked with computers, not people.
 
Hey, everyone... Please keep writing. I have a post ready for the under-cover side story, but need to wait the three days for the eggs to show up. Hora will be joining both of you on the bridge after your interaction. :)
 
Hi sunshines, I’m having a medical emergency so I won’t be active for a bit. Please keep going without me if inclined/maneuver Xiana as you wish!
 
Hora is done playing nice. She want to go on the offense with the parasite. She'll be looking for recommendations from the staff.
