That's an interesting way of saying "He prefers to grow his own weed."
I mean, I'm sure Elm does too.

Sad to say I'm currently experiencing Writer's Block. Luckily I learned Writer's Kung Fu and I can chop the block in half with my hands like Bruce Lee

Why is the sun like bread? It rises in the yeast, and sets in the waist. Haha! Isn't that so cute? Join my RP or more puns will come.

What's the difference between a Hollywood actor and a piece of driftwood? One is Justin Timberlake. The other is timber, just in a lake. Hahathisiswhati'mdoinginsteadofwriting

Current RP I want you to join: roleplayerguild.com/topics/191461-car…
Hey y'all. I've been at this for about 12 years, and I've played a lot of kinds of RP. I like fantasy and sci-fi the most, just because they give me the most to worldbuild with, but I'm cool with almost anything. I just like writing.

Well if you find something interesting, bring it back to the ship, I will plant it somewhere
And then it is revealed that the rugged old Captain Du-Vos actually a big fan of flower gardening.
I personally would like at least one post to gather my.... supplies before we take off. I promise to do so by the end of Friday. If that's too late and everyone else is waiting, you may nag me to get it done sooner.
EDIT: Y'know, it would be nice but not really necessary to get that post. If everyone else wants to move on, it can just be a surprise for later.
Surprises are cool! But it's completely up to you. Skipping to the action was only a recommendation.
Just about done with my work shift for the day, should have a post up later this afternoon/evening.
Coolio!
If you don't want to bother detailing all the in-between stuff, you can always jump straight into when you're on the Moray.
Just a shorter post to get things started.
Yeah, I couldn't remember where I got the joke from, but that's probably it.
Look, our ship's name is literally just a shortened version of "Enterprise" (because Star Trek), and our bad guy is a pirate who looks like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you pointed it out everytime I wasn't 100% original, you'd never have time to write

If you said that whole name out loud, furniture would start floating.
Hmm, that looks familiar, @Jeyma.

Nick's eyebrows shot up. Carabello had a well-earned reputation as a lax commander, but the most lax commander in the history of ISA wouldn't let those comments pass during a crisis. "That is enough, Security Officer Rod..." Was that a typo? The datapad had a name listed for him, but it had to be a typo. "Rod Jvwaah.... Jvuwauhh..." Nick cleared his throat. "Uh, Rod." If you said that whole name out loud, furniture would start floating.
"I apologize for our officer, Robin. What were you saying? Oh, yes- your toxin plan is officially approved. It's a bit genius, actually." Then, listening to Faust's question, the Captain's face fell. "No. No, no, I am not going to ram their ship in two while half the crew is knocked out and their engines are down. We'll disable the ship. Law enforcement can be called in, and then someone who isn't me can decide what Du-Vos and Co. deserve."
Now the Captain was up on his feet. The sooner this mission is over with, the sooner they can be taken through the Passage and those families can be taken home. "Alright, Beta Team is looking to be Gue'rach, Faust, and Korax. You can take one of the smaller shuttles and dock it on the Moray. When it's ready to go, radio in and we'll alert Alpha team. Good luck, and come home safe.
"Alphas: Robin, Mason, and uh, Rod. You all have a job I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy." He smiled. "Waiting."
Nick orders them to get as fully prepped as they can- including Robin's nerve gas- and then take off in the largest shuttle, the so-named Fat Beetle. Once close to the pirate vessel, they were to attach right to that precious little blind spot. Without breaking stealth, that is. "I'll leave when to start the toxin release to Robin's discretion, but otherwise, you're waiting on our signal to start the evacuation. Me or Cake will send the message to begin, once we know Beta team is ready to launch our attack."
And, of course, Nick practically needed his own team. Too bad he didn't think to make a catchy name for them. Omega Team? "Francesca, you're with me. And Cake, I need you... well, sort of everywhere. If I can't get away from the negotiations enough to reply quickly to Alpha or Beta team, you'll have to take over coordinating it for me."
Nick would take a moment to reflect on how stressful being an AI must be, with everyone asking you to handle all the stuff they couldn't handle, but he couldn't handle that right then. "Everyone good? Let's go."

@Jeyma YAS! Yes, I'm here for the comic relief. But I will be respectful of your forum and mostly listen to you if you want to rein me in.
I hear you. Honestly, I'm not too strict. The scenarios I make up are for everyone to have fun writing in. Speaking of!
Playing Cake is fun.
She's fun to read, too! The Ship AI idea turned out a lot better than I thought it would!
@Zanavy
It's a baby Zapp Brannigan!
We need something to take some of the serious out of this room. So even though literally all my instincts are screaming at me to say no... accepted. Drop him into the CS, and my Chad have mercy on our souls.
(Also, you're on team Alpha. Because you're an alpha male. And because that's the team where you can most get eaten by an alien pirate.)

I don't expect my character to be involved in the current mission, but plan to write some light post about life on the ship meanwhile, so don't wait for me with the mission.
But maybe the pirates have like, um... a botanical garden? A pirate one?
Okay yeah, maybe Elm isn't super relevant to this one.
But a lighter post about what's going on in the rest of the ship could be cool!<Snipped quote by This Girlie>
That’s mainly coming from the science characters IMO. When we get into the actual operation, I think you’d be able to take charge.
Yeah, I'm definetly not here for the science talk. Have you seen my profile pic?
That's a big part of why I squeezed "lighthearted" into my title. Because even though I'm so glad folks who like it can dance with communications arrays and battle tactics, I also don't want anyone to feel weighed down by those things.
And that goes for everyone. If any of y'all don't feel comfortable with the more science-y talk, my advice is just to ignore it. Or straight make up some nonsense technobabble. You're gonna see me doing that one for sure.
