Not having been contacted as of yet, antar sits waiting watching as the cascading icy waterfall in her living quarters lights up with the magenta and purple lights, something it does as it resonates with her morning meditation.

Captain Cadbury will be telepathically sending the message about her next mission. Captain Cadbury, it will be an honor to serve once again under his command. His portentous taste for adventure meant this was certain to be something for the most experienced crew members only.

Vaguely able to 'see' who else would be joining the crew antar could only hope that both Skyfloating and whisper would be by her side.

Sorry i'm running late captain, my ermm... assignment in Canada took a little longer than expected... pesky Canadians.

I can be of use to you either for my special ops expertise, or my scientific background. Do with me what you will sir.

The Opening Post will appear at 2100 hrs EST.

It doesn't matter about time zones for posting. Once the dedicated and 'stickied' thread is started, members involved can carry on at their convenience and don't have to post at any specific time in relation to EST.

It is now 11:36 AM

Note:

Crew member Trav has been re-assigned to another mission and is dropped from the Penelope roster.

Two suggestions/questions:

* Lets never post any out-of-role comments or questions in the story thread but only here

* Suggestion (let me know if you disagree, thats OK): We only write from our characters perspective and never do any storytelling "for" someone else...in other words: If lets say, some impact hits the ship and the captain experiences lots of pain, we cannot "re-write" that section but can only describe the same event from our personal perspective (if we want to).

Im wanting to make sure we dont make up 10 different stories but are all writing within the same basic context...

Command of the fighter squadrons is well within my training as well, so I can handle those unruly hotheads as well as gunnery if needs be. Just say the word Capt. Luder.

And that sounds like a decent way to keep things under control Skyfloating. No arguments here.

is it too late? i volunteer for whatever is open?

If you are still looking for crew members on the Yddryl I would be greatly interested in serving under Captain Cadbury. In my... work... his reputation precedes him. With a history in space "scavenging" I have some skill sets that could be useful on board a fully operational starship. If you require a pilot I have the required credentials to fly. My specialty is the appraisal and restoration of weaponry systems, a skill I would be willing to exercise on board the ship as well. Being a scavenger I possess working knowledge in most areas of operating and maintaining small craft and am an able officer of a small crew. Hope you'll have me on board.

Check and see which positions are still available and define your character

I wish Captain Cadbury would call in. No doubt he's off on a personal junket to Betelgeuse, which figures, considering the pleasures to be had in that disreputable sector of Orion.
