No ship should go down without her captain.

Well, then, I guess this ship isn’t going down.

The USS Audacia is a Normandy-class ship running through the very edges of Union-controlled space. They’re just a scouting ship, they’re not toting lasers and torpedoes to the front lines, but what should have been a medium-stress operation just got a lot more tense: two days ago, Captain Catherine Ray vanished from the ship. After a top-to-bottom search, there’s no sign of the captain—there are no energy signals to follow, no hostile parties have boarded the ship, and even the dubious possibility of Captain Ray turning invisible has been ruled out. Tensions are rising as the crew searches for answers, but all that they have is a cryptic video message.

In a decision agreed upon by a narrow majority, Union Command hasn’t yet been informed of the incident. The Audacia is a pretty ramshackle crew, and they’re...at least fifty percent confident they can finish their latest round of missions without the Captain. All they have is a small list of short, simple, straightforward milk runs that will go off without a hitch, and no one will be the wiser when they get the Captain back without incident.

What could possibly go wrong?


★★★★★★★


Welcome to the USS Audacia, where the cafeteria serves mush, you can see duct tape on the walls in Engineering, and no one knows quite who's in charge anymore! In case the blurb above was difficult to understand, here's the basic premise:

  • The captain of the USS Audacia has gone missing, leaving only a single video message behind. Otherwise, all of her datapads and personal files have been wiped.
  • The crew is, understandably, freaking out
  • However, because the ship reallydoesn’t need another reprimand on its record, they’ve decided not to tell anyone, and try to finish the latest mission before looking for their captain in earnest before anyone notices
  • Cue the panic, trauma, and shenanigans!
  • Think a mashup of Mass Effect (for the universe), Firefly (for the ship itself), and Star Trek (for the missions)
  • There will be some short-ish missions for plot, plus the time in between, and then the overarching plot of The Search For Captain Ray!


RULES

  • You must APPLY with your character sheet before joining the IC. While most positions on the ship are open to multiple characters, some can't have duplicates, like department heads.
  • NO GODMODDING. You should all know what this is by now, and just how annoying it can get.
  • Adding plot twists can be within reason, but with major changes you MUST consult with the other parties affected first. I will be controlling the 'search for the Captain' plot.
  • Keep the drama IC, please, and remember that just because a character is mean to you, doesn't mean the player hates you. The reverse is also true: don't slap a bitch IC just because you dislike someone OOC.
  • I know we're in space, but try to keep it at least semi-realistic, please. If you get launched outside of a ship completely unprepared, you will die.
  • I'd like to keep this high-casual, i.e. a paragraph at least per post. There are some exceptions to this, obviously, like in action sequences, but most of the time I'd like to stick to that standard.
  • ~*~have fun and be yourself~*~

Claiming either the chief of security or the crew's main muscle! It'll probably be the latter, but we'll see how it goes.

Also, can I get more info on the Union? Stuff like its history, politics, and military?

I'll probably claim a pilot. :P I barely know anything about either Star Trek or Mass Effect (though I'm a little more used to Mass Effect as I've played the first one), but there is many sources of info I can use. ^_^
Probably gonna make up my own race, too. :P

By the way, you should probably put up a 'Race Sheet' so people have guidelines if they wanna make their own race.

Yeah pretty much. Imagine alien Daredevil and you have the Warock. Alien Daredevil who can fly spaceships! If need be I'll go into full detail of how this is even possible, but let's just leave it to heat, light, and alien biology.

Big question. Can I be a companion? Do they exist in this universe? I know you said it was KIND OF like firefly but I would understand if it wouldn't fit in this RP world.

@Experiment 249iiii'm pretty sure they don't exist in this universe. psychotherapists, yes, prostitutes, yes, but not at the same time. prostitution is government regulated at this point, but obviously it's not a position on a ship. sorry!

@Experiment 249: looks good! the idea of a black market trader being on the ship 'in disguise' actually makes sense—the Audacia is low on the totem pole, so their replacement parts have to come from somewhere, right? just remember that some items are still extremely rare, even to the black market. looking forward to bringing him in!

@datadogie: interesting concept! im liking the 'ultimate support' position. we'll see how this goes!

im going to post the IC starter in a bit, so keep an eye out!
