Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ozmar" data-source="post: 2610346" data-attributes="member: 8021">Lucas Tyler[SBLOCK]You've been signed up for a five-year stint in the Concord's Star Force. You didn't expect much. Most recruits are volunteers who spend years of training, trying to crawl up the military ladder to achieve the privilege of serving on one of these vessels. You've been conscripted to avoid serving hard time for a white-collar crime. So you expected to be cleaning latrines or running cable through the bowels of some capital ship, the lowest grunt on the totem pole.So when you opened your orders, you thought there must have been some mistake. Chief Engineer on the CSS Pacific? An officer commission? What the frack?! But the MPs took you to the ship, issued you your gear, handed you over to the commanding officer, and left without a word. Since then, you've had the run of the ship, and more than enough work to keep your mind on the task at hand. The Pacific is an older Geneva Trailblazer that saw service in the war. It's been out of commission for a long time, but it is now undergoing an overhaul. You've been working with the dock crew to put together the engines and install the ship's new computer. The computer is impressive, and you suspect that this is why you were assigned here. Its an experimental AI, dubbed CECCE (pronounced "See-See"), which is an acronym for Communications, Emotive Counseling & Conflict Engagement. It has a lovely female voice and personality, but seems a bit... unpredictable at times.The ship is almost complete, and your engineer's mate has just been assigned to the crew. She is a Rigunmor woman named Jak Friday. She is a small, compact woman with a half-caucasion, half-asian appearance. She's a good grease-monkey, dresses only in an engineer's jumpsuit and has a cybernetic left arm. She's pretty quiet most of the time, but helpful and easy to work with.The officer in command is Lt.(jg) Thomas Caine, an Orlamist who has been assigned to the ship as navigator. He's spent most of his time working with CECCE to install the navigation programs, but occasionally stops in to look at the engines and see how things are going.The rest of the crew arrives today, and with the Captain's arrival, the ship is expected to fly its maiden voyage in a day or two.OOC: Are there any preparations you want to make, or questions that you have, before the Captain arrives and we begin?[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
