Welcome to the Illyria!

[statusreport]

Stardate 58561.8: Day One

Now that you've all got your room assignments and communicators, it's time to explore this ship. Please check out the deck plans to figure out where you're going. You can read about some of the existing crew members you might run into here.

Even those of you who may feel right at home on a spaceship will find that the Illyria is definitely a bit... different. Mostly because she's kind of a wreck right now. Whatever it was that threw the ship all the way out here to wherever we are, it really did a number on the ship itself. There's a lot of damaged areas, and several of the ship's systems have been compromised. You'll find that the replicators don't always work right (I asked for hasperat and I got pok tar!?), the turbolifts are unusually persnickety (I said bridge, not engineering!), and the environmental controls in your quarters may not do as they're told (why is it snowing in Room 4J?). Several corridors are blocked by debris, and more often than not the lights are flickering if they're on at all.

So what will you do? Help clean up the mess in the hallways? Try some bizarre alien food in the mess hall? Try and infiltrate restricted areas to get a peek at the ship's systems? Feel free to make your own top level comment, and treat this as a big mingle. Get to know your new crewmates, explore your new home, make friends or enemies, and whatever you do, don't try the gagh. If you need the captain or the first officer, please let a mod know, but try and stick to threading with your fellow new recruits!


(Don't worry about the entry tags for the moment, they will be added shortly. Before we throw ourselves into missions on alien planets, we wanted everyone to have a chance to get to know one another, so please use this opening log as an opportunity to kick off some CR with crewmates and bunk buddies, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask a mod!)

"I am more used to green tea than black but I have learned a great deal about the English style...though only from Kongo." Flashbacks to her enthusiastic colleague moved before Yamato's eyes-the tackle-hugs in the hallways, the yelling for the Admiral to bed her, tea taken at every hour of the day... How accurate was any information gleaned from such a woman?

Well it would have to be accurate enough. "I am sure we will have a pleasant enough time together."

An eyebrow arched delicately at the mention of this 'Kongo', though she let it pass; they weren't going anywhere anytime soon, and the intimate knowledge of Yamato's history and relations would be revealed all in good time. With one exception: TEA, was taken only at traditional intervals, and decidedly NOT at every hour of the day...who WAS this person the battleship knew?

A nod. "Indeed. I hope so." A beat. "What time do you take supper? I could meet you at the canteen at 18:00. You could show me what's palatable out of that 'replicator' nonsense."
