A bit of self-flattery from @Corey Wethern never disappoints 🫡

I only speak the truth!!

[Evan Ross]

@Rustyy_Hael & @Korras Looking forward to your first meet-up in Shore Leave  Sounds like there are a few things to sort out

Whittaker: If I had to guess, I would say we collided with something. :: he replied, grimacing .:: Another starship.

T’liss: I agree that is most likely.

Hael: I swear… oO I’m’a gonna take tha’ boy’s license…. Oo ::he thought to himself.

The pain in his head throbbed like a bad migraine and his joints made him feel his age thrice over.

@Rustyy_Hael being the relatable king we all know and love. I feel seen!

  Quote

Sal Taybrim had spent three years being on the hitlist of most major criminal and enemy empires, and he had survived a dozen assassination attempts – including two that came so close that he saw the assassin and was a hair’s breadth from no longer breathing.

Or as Theo might call it: a typical Thursday morning (after the Wednesday beheadings.)

We're gonna get our nails done afterwards 😆

[Sal Taybrim]

This is the most hilariously eloquent overview of what's going on, thank you @Margaret Walker!

Theo nodded, understanding the rationale. The minute the shields dropped, the Chawla would begin to come apart at the seams, the magnetic interlocks would erode without the constant supply of power to keep them active and when they did, matter and antimatter would collide in a violent frenzy of propulsive, explosive energy and…

 

Whittaker: oO Boom. Oo

 

Boom indeed. The force of the blast would propagate in every direction, an all-consuming chain reaction that tear into the crippled Enterprise-F, starting another even more violent riptide that would shred the flagship into subatomic particles, kinetic energy and molten slag. An ignominious end for the pride of the Federation Starfleet.

Risian, crisis response, security officer, a positive influence, mother, girlfriend; packaging all of Haukea-Willow into a single description, a life changing choice, was impossible. Yes, in her lifetime dealing with security matters, Haukea had faced death, yet never before had she been tasked with taking an individual’s life in her hands. It froze her thought process. Which decision was morally correct?

@Haukea-Willow, I thought that this was a beautiful piece of prose ❤️

Love the subtle touch in regards to the intelligence location from @Solaris in the recent SIM title

(( Starfleet Intelligence Headquarters - Vauxhall Cross - London ))

It just clicked into place for me! Now I can see Judi Dench running SFI and I love that! (She will always be my M!).

Wethern: You call that a scene? You should see me when they ask me to treat someone without my coffee. 

Expand  

I feel seen, @Corey Wethern.

  Quote

Sickbay was still full of mostly minor injuries – funny how bouncing your starship off another starship and screaming ‘brace for impact’ three times creates injuries.

Expand  

@Sal Taybrim I cackled way too much at this!

[Theo Whittaker]

  Quote

it was a tapestry of tragedy and she wasn't the one holding the brush.

Expand  

This sentence really jumped out at me, @Eliana Darius. Beautifully written!

[Evan Ross]

@Mister_Wake is onto us 👀

  Quote

Ross: Are you up for a coffee... - or whatever, Vulcan tea, -  and a chat? Or are you busy?

Ah.
He wishes to socialize.
His plot revealed, purpose exposed.

Taybrim: Yes, I am Sal Taybrim, Commodore Taybrim if we’re official and Sal if we’re off duty.  ::He smiled again, comforting, pleasant:: I wanted to welcome you onboard StarBase 118.

“Miss Taybim if ya nasty”.

I like this description of experience from the very experienced @Vitor S. Silveira

  Quote

There was that sort of veteran look that most Starfleet officers shared. A light shadow of the brightness of the eyes that clouded them.

A “loss of innocence” look. Especially when compared to recent graduated Ensigns.

Thank you Ensign... Oh, wait its Commodore now.

Beep boop beep.

It was pleasant that the consoles made a slight electrical sound when pressing buttons, because otherwise the sole noise filling the room would be the pitter-patter of fingers pressing firmly against glass.

Expand  

This from @Mister_Wake has immediately gone into my top favourite sim intros of all time. 😂

[Gogigobo Fairhug]

  Quote

Fairhug: Perfect! Then you need to do more of that. Consider that an order!

T'Reyna: ah... very well, Commander. An order it is.

 

A mighty hole she had just dug herself into without expecting to.

Taking it quite literally, T'Reyna now considered it an official commandment from the commander himself to spend more time with Lieutenant Ross.

Gogi the unwitting matchmaker. 😂

Ross definitely owes him a drink 🫡😂

[Gogigobo Fairhug]

  Quote

He went over to the bar, which looked like it had been stocked for a Bardeezan wedding, and grabbed their drinks.

Expand  

Loving this line from @Evan Ross. 😂👌🏻

[Gogigobo Fairhug]

  Quote

She hummed slightly in thought at what manner of sordid, unusual drink she may enjoy for this occasion that her former crewmates back in Vulcan High Command would shun her for...

T'Reyna: Juice would be pleasant. Any flavour of fruit is acceptable.

 

Scandalous, truly.

Expand  

Another one that made me chuckle from @Mister_Wake. 😂
