Star Trek : The Journey Continues

I read the most recent post. I have reached out to DepressedSoviet to do a Collaboration between Christov and Jabari. They both enjoy unarmed combat. I have also reached out to Cyrania. We are starting a collaboration that will take place once we get on the bridge, after the introductions in the Mess. I have reached out to RumikoOhara for a collaborative post between Commander Rachel and Lieutenant Gavi. We have not started yet. She is having problems with her desk top computer.

Shine City 1949: Love & War ( A Romantic Military RP)

I have no knowledge of your previous work on Shine City, but am interested in any military RP idea. I have real world military experience and have been reading articles and books on military history for over 40 years. Register me interested.

Star Trek : The Journey Continues

I was looking for a Bridge layout of the Nova-Class Starship and found this Fan Created Technical Manual. It is very well written and does include a bridge layout depicted below.

The Captain and First Officer are seated in the center of the room. The forward center console can be manned by a single officer who can fly and fire the ship's weapons alone as well as navigate the ship. There are consoles to the left and right of this console for the Navigator/Operations Officer to the left and a Tactical Officer to the right. To the rear of the Bridge, 2-5 Science and Engineering officers may be busy monitoring their aspects of the ship.

Star Trek : The Journey Continues

Hurray! I found time this morning to write.

Star Trek : The Journey Continues

Lieutenant Jabari

Kojo stood in line with the rest of his crewmates. His uniform was pressed crisply, with just a hint of starch. His hair, cut high and tight on the sides and back, shaping upward into a flat top. His mustache, he trimmed this morning to insure no hairs hung over his upper lip or extended beyond the corners of his mouth.

Lt. Jabari scanned the docking area near the portal to get a feel for the people he was about to spend the next several years with. It was not his first assignment, but the excitement was welling inside. He served as Helmsman aboard the USS Majestic, Miranda-class starship for the past four or five years. He knew his job and thoroughly enjoyed it. The anticipation of piloting a brand new vessel excited him. It was like unwrapping a much anticipated birthday gift.

Eventually, the crew was permitted to enter. As he approached the docking portal, he spied an attractive dark-haired woman greeting everyone with a smile. "Captain McCoy, very nice to meet you, ma'am--I am your helmsman, Lieutenat Kojo Jabari," the Lieutenant reciprocated her greeting before moving aboard ship. He thought to himself that he would also serve as the ship's tactical officer as he had on the Majestic. This was a shared duty with the ship's navigator.

The interior walls were a pristine white with color shading along the passageways, breaking up the whiteness, casting a flair upon the pallor in contrast. Kojo considered, this must be deck four per the schematics he reviewed prior to arriving at the Earth Shipyard. His berthing assignment had him on deck two. He would need to store his personal gear before heading to the bridge and the mess hall.

Upon entering his quarters he discovered he would not have a share a birth with another officer, like he did aboard the Majestic. He dropped his duty bag on the bed, opened the enclosure retrieving his clothing. He hung his uniforms in the closet and stored the civilian clothing items in the available drawers. His shaving kit, he placed in his private lavatory, which brought a smile to his face. 'All mine,' he thought. In his other hand, he had been carrying a bag containing exercise items and a Japanese Katana and Wakizashi to include wooden scabbards and wall mounting bracket. He placed theses on the floor with the intention of mounting them later, when he had more time. A handful of paper and ink books he placed on his bed's nightstand and his datapad he retained in his possession as he exited his room. He'd always preferred the older paper ink over reading digitized manuals.

Upon seeing the doors to the bridge open, he recognized that the USS Tricyion was very similar to that of the USS Majestic. The Majestic bridge was slightly larger, but not by much. He glanced over the helm controls realizing there was not much difference. This should be a similar assignment.

When the clock approached the 1600 hour, Lieutenant Kojo Jabari headed to the mess hall with the rest of his new family, prepared to meet them.

Lieutenant JG Gavi

Lieutenant Gavi trotted toward the entrance to the docking portal. A handful of crewmembers remained to board. He was one of the last, but not too late. He observed the human woman wearing the rank of Captain greeting everyone as they entered. Not wanting to offend his new Captain on his first day, he briefly remarked, "thank you, ma'am," without emotion.

Gavi knew this ship in theory, but had never seen the inside until this very moment. He appreciated the newness of the craft but was very curious about the Engineering department. His quarters were not far from the docking portal.

Upon entering his room, he found a Trill Engineering officer storing his gear in the starboard storage bins. Gavi strode to the port side of the room to drop his bag. His new roommate turned with a smile, "Good afternoon, my name is Ensign Nabiyev."

Gavi glanced at the hand, then up at the Trill Ensign. "What is so good about it?" Gavi spoke softly. He hesitated, but the Ensign left his hand outstretched until Gavi submitted and shook the taller man's hand. It was four seconds of awkward silence.

"I take it you are in engineering also?" The Trill tried to be friendly to his new roommate and fellow work mate.

"You are the observant one aren't you, Ensign?" Gavi proceeded unpacking his belongings. He did not look at the Trill officer while he worked. Instead, he focused on storing his equipment.

"Yes, right," the man felt put off. "We have more time to talk later," Ensign Nabiyev finished up his work as quickly as possible and left the room.

Gavi felt comforted upon establishing himself as the dominant member of their room. It wasn't enough that he outranked the Ensign, but he wanted the personal dominance as well. After all, this was where he was to live. He smiled at himself, and then turned the heat up in the room to 35°C (95°F). 'No reason, we shouldn't have it comfortable in here,' Gavi thought to himself. As a Tellarite, he preferred a much warmer climate than humans or Trill, for that matter.

When he arrived on the deck six engineering office, he found Ensign Nabiyev. The room felt chilly to him, but he would not subject the other members of Engineering to his preferences; at least not on the first day. Naviyev was another story. He was his roommate. He would have to adapt to Gavi's desires.

He looked over the master systems display. It was much has he had read about and seen in images. He then moved to deck eight Engineering and found a Chief Petty Officer working on the Antideuterium sublimators. The older human appeared experienced and Gavi did not want to intrude. He studied what he was doing and realized this Chief was quite competent.

"Chief, what is your name?" Gavi asked the man.

"Chief Petty Officer Kulik Petrovich, sir!" the man announced.

"Wonderful. I am Lieutenant Gavi. I believe we will be working together. Please continue with your task. Do not let me interrupt." Gavi did enjoy arguing and preferred to engage in this form of banter with his peers, but would never consider such a display with a subordinate. Besides, Chief Petrovich's activities would hasten the departure of the USS Tricyion.

While the Chief worked on the Matter/Antimatter reaction injectors, Lt. Gavi busied himself at the master systems display on Deck eight. Everything else appeared to be functioning within normal parameters, aside from the M/ARC. "Chief, the Captain wishes us to attend a meeting in the mess. If Commander Robin instructed you to work on the antimatter injector, I'll leave you," Gavi spoke and then proceeded up to the ship's mess hall.

Star Trek : The Journey Continues

So, I just read RumikoOhara's post and had to laugh. I had no idea what Antideuterium sublimators were, so I googled it. The first response was to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, which I own a copy. I must have bought this thing about 25 years ago. The second response from Google was directly back to her IC post right here on the RPG forum! Imagine that. :)

Now that I have reacquainted myself with this TM, I am going to pull out all sorts of Engineering Mumbo Jumbo! LOL

Star Trek : The Journey Continues

I won't be able to post tonight. Hopefully tomorrow, but don't count on it. Definitely Monday.

Star Trek : The Journey Continues

LtJG Gavi

Lieutenant JG Gavi

Character Summary

Name: Gavi
Alias: Ziv, Lieutenant Gavi, Zivi
Homeworld: Tellar Prime
Race: Tellarite
Age: 31
Rank: Lieutenant Junior Grade
Area of Expertise: Engineering

Description

Height: 58.5" (149 cm)
Weight: 132 Lbs (60 Kg)
Hair Color: Long
Hair Style: Long with a ponytail
Tattoos/scars: None

Like all Tellarites, Gavi has a distinctive pig-like snout and appears to be hairy. Although Gavi prefers a neater appearance than many of his race. His beard is always neatly trimmed and he keeps his hair tucked into a neat pony tail. Tellarites may have anywhere from three to five digits on each hand, Gavi has five like most humans. Gavi wears a computer-assisted monocle over his left eye. He was born with a diminished visual acuity in the left eye. He could not distinguish lights and colors properly. The Monocle assists him in seeing the entire light spectrum including the capacity to view gamma rays, X-rays, Ultra-Violet Rays, Infrared Rays, Radar and even radio and video waves.

Personality

Humans find Gavi difficult to get to know because he thoroughly enjoys arguing. In the Tellarite culture, arguing, which could be synonymous with debating is a national pastime. All Tellarites enjoy a good argument. It is not of interest to win an argument, simply to be engaged in one. He means no disrespect or mental torture. He prefers to begin an argument with insults or complaints. These complaints may be general in nature or they may be personal to the individual he is addressing.

Positive

Intelligent
Well-organized thinker
Confident
Sensitive to others
Intuitive

Negative

Pugnacious
Abrasive
Cowardly
Occasionally produces an offensive odor

History

Gavi was born on the Tellarite homeworld known as Tellar Prime in 2263. Both parents worked at the planetary science observatory and wrote lengthy articles and tomes about the known universe and postulated as to the unknown. Many of their theories have been proven accurate by the findings of Starfleet. Gavi's parents gave him the nickname "Ziv" when he was young. It simply means inquisitive one because like most children he asked a lot of questions. But for Gavi, there was no end to his questions.

When Gavi was a teenager, he was admitted to the Vulcan Science Academy. It was discovered he had an unusual gift for science. He has always excelled in Engineering, Astro-Physics, Chemistry and Geology. He prefers the physical science over natural or biological science. He left the Academy on Vulcan when he was 25 and transferred to the StarFleet Academy. He graduated near the top of his class in Engineering and was immediately assigned to the USS Tricyion as an Ensign in the Engineering Department. He has been working with Lieutenant Commander Robin for the past three years and was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade only two months ago.

Gavi enjoys working with Commander Robin and the two enjoy fun banter of hurling insults at one another. In reality, Gavi has the utmost respect for his superior and would do anything for her.
