Yeah, I worked on it a bit last night :) I was going to manually bring in one by one to make a mock idea but then I saw that one concept and thought that was a great idea. So... anywho... Feel free to tweak or make it better. I forgot to put in Uhura. I purposely didn't put in Guinan as she's more secondary and not really part of the bridge. But we can add her as well. And awesome! :) I'm thinking of getting rid of O'Brien (he does transfer to DS9 sometime - can't remember when. And this time period the Federation did take over DS9 so...). I'll bring in a male OC (maybe who doesn't like vulcans *snicker* jk ). I'll have to work on that. She'll find a way. I'm thinking that initially she is ordered not to reveal she's an android. They figure (from the basic information they get from the pod) that the Enterprise is nothing they've seen before. And as Androids are very rare as it is (rephrase - androids of Rommie's sophistication are only created in the Capitol of Tarn-Vedra and only for Commonwealth Glorious Heritage Class and up (heavy cruiser and I believe there was an extreme heavy assault ship - maybe 2 made?). Not sure complete cannon but my cannon for this is AI of this sophistication is extremely rare and only those on Tarn-Vedra actually knew how to create one. It's extremely difficult process and really a small group are made - more for the ships. You do have less sophisticated AIs and androids but nothing on the sentient level Rommie's at. (though the show did have a planet of AIs 300 years into the future). Because of this - she can be extremely valuable to an enemy or even another faction (one of the reasons Gaheris brought her along). The knowledge she contains not to mention the technology feat is something that people will kill for. So Gaheris isn't going to want her to reveal it. At least initially. How long the rouse is kept up will be interesting. There was only one life sign in the pod. That alone will bring about some question as to why. But yes - she'll have to figure out something. And eventually to make something real efficient, work with Geordi. I don't believe Data actually needed power himself. I can't remember. Connection: I know there was an episode they were in different systems and the ship's AI could not 'connect' with the android. Didn't know where Rommie was. I making the range pretty much within probably a solar system. So if they are in the same system Rommie can connect. Different systems - not at all. This will be part phase I as they try to FIND the Andromeda (which might become phase II - see below). Of course! We have to have some competition. Not everyone will be interested in a cold 'Vulcan' woman lol. Thus another reason I'm looking at an OC instead of O'Brien. Someone to focus on Uhura. Picard won't and honestly, Worf is...selective on who he is interested in. He probably really won't even be interested in her physically (though he might be impressed by her fighting skills and strength - which btw I made a slight update in her bio) (YAY! Yes, no Troi!) Thanks :) Oh ok. Looking forward to it And yes - do relax. That's what vacations are for *nods* Relax and be ready for a whole bunch of posts when you get back XD [hider=Phase Outline] Phase 1: Lost in the Andromeda Galaxy. Integration of Rommie and Gaheris onto the Enterprise. Phase 2: Realization that the Andromeda Ascendant ship is still out there and a way home. Search for the ship. Phase 3: Journey "home" to the Alpha Quadrant, Milky Way Galaxy Phase 4: Invasion of the Milky Way. Prepare for and hold off the invaders from the Andromeda Galaxy. Probably destruction of the Andromeda Ascendant ship (?) Phase 5: New Journey. Explorations with Rommie now a major part of the Enterprise (maybe even integrated). and more to come :D [/hider]
