  • Eh, what the hey. I'll try to be there if I'm not working. I'll be an average-height human with the crisp, black Odyssey uniform. (Bryan doesn't really like beaches. Or wearing clothing that would be better suited to being on a beach.)
  • Admiral Valot slouched in the command chair of the Athena, nearly falling asleep when the ship AI, Athena, called out to him. "Sir," she said, her hologram shimmering to life in front of him. "I just detected an unknown anomoly on long range sensors." Bryan sat up, yawning. "Any idea what it is? "What does the word…
  • Done with mine. Kinda had to rush it toward the end there, but it is what it is. Anyways, let me know what you all think!
  • If you look further down you'll see [Combat (Self)] Your Beam Setting deals 79 Disruptor Damage to Drone. [Combat (Self)] Your Chaotic Particle Stream deals 15 Kinetic Damage to Drone. Which was from the Adapted K.H.G. rifle. note that it states that both dealt disruptor damage and that the beam setting dealt normal damage…
  • Seriously! You people complain when stuff doesn't get fixed, and you complain when someone offers something to get fixed! Make up your minds people! :P
  • What? It's a legitimate bug!
  • Glad to know that I have the official approval of the one who came up with the topic :D Thank ye! It's a story that I've been looking to explore for a while now, and this felt like the perfect opportunity to do it. The rose in the midst of the battlefield, so to speak. Glad you liked it! I actually loosely based the…
  • And done. Sorry I've missed the past few LC's. Combination of work, class, and general writer's block...And poor on-campus Wi-Fi. Let me know what you all think of my entry!
  • Admiral Bryan Valot gripped the edge of the Athena's strategic display nervously. The hologram showed thousands of warships shifting positions and getting into formations, each under his direct command. He had been chosen to lead the fleet, the most massive ever assembled in the alpha quadrant's history, even moreso than…
  • Very well done! I certainly enjoyed reading your story. I personally prefer to use a third-person limited view when writing my stories, but yours was very well done. Side note: I have a suspicion about Three(?) of Twelve. I won't say more than I believe Meria and Three knew each other before she was assimilated. Also, if…
  • Heh, I personally, don't quite find it as realistic as it could be either, but you have to make do with what you're given. And, let's not forget: Writers working under restrictions produce novel material; for example, epigrams employing backwards alphabetization. (internet cookie for anyone who gets that reference.)
  • I've (personally) dealt with it by equating 1 real-time year to 1 in-game year, so it's 2413 for Bryan right now.Granted, that means that his promotion from Ensign to VA was only about two years, but that's still a bit more realistic than just one year :D
  • Thank you for your feedback! The reason I wrote Bryan to be 26 years old is because all of my LC entries (and other stories) are written to take place in the timeline of STO itself, as Bryan and Selana are both characters I have in game. Plus, let's face it making Admiral in 3-4 years after graduation is a little more…
  • Got my entry posted. The details on the Athena were a project I've been fleshing out for some time now, and this LC gave me a chance to really state what the ship was equipped with. As for Bryan's personnel file, I had the idea in my head for a while, but I wasn't really sure what to do with it until this LC was released,…

  • This is not actually a bug, but rather a debuff effect for several rooms within the station. The effect (not sure what exactly the debuff is off the top of my head) is a confuse similar in function to the space sci power "Scramble sensors" in that enemies are labelled as allies and allies are marked as enemies. To remove…
  • Thank ye! Bryan can be a reasonbly blunt individual, and I thought that line demonstrated his point quite well! :D Now, some reviews of my own (finally :rolleyes:): @worffan101 Three very well written stories! Your first and third ones had me chuckling a little throughout, and the second was a very sombering reminder of…
  • Just tested on my Romulan char, and all but one of my Officers were bugged. The species were only Romulan and Remen officers,along with the C-Store Remen Borg officer. The one who was not bugged was the "Cloaked Intentions" reward officer.
  • Thanks! Probably the reason for the inconsistency there was I went back and shifted a few phrases around to add more detail. And I'm sure you'll think of something :cool: Thanks! I'm sure she would find Bryan to be a rather interesting character :cool: Anyway, I'll post some more reviews when I have time once I'm home from…
  • Posted mine. Took me a little while for me to come up with a topic the Bryan would discuss, but I finally got it. Let me know what you all think!
  • Bryan sat down in his quarters on the Athena as the ship slid smoothly into orbit of Earth. He had been called back to Starfleet Academy to give a lecture to the most recent class of graduates. Shaking his head slightly, he sat down in his chair as he began to compose his thoughts. What should I even talk about? he thought…
  • Ooooh...Bryan is going to have a field day with those cadets :cool:
  • Pretty much what everyone else said here, but once again, my stories really focus first on the characters, as, without interesting characters, you story ends up simply being a bore. Write some flaws into your main character; don't make them a complete white knight. For instance: Admiral Bryan Mitchel Valot, the main…
  • Ah, my mistake :o Really should learn to read the entire thread before posting.
  • Turbo, I think the primary reason for this is actually the order that the episodes were released to the public in. For instance: the Undine story missions were actually added to the game before the Cloaked Intentions featured episode series. As a result, they took place in the aftermath of the events of the Undine arc,…
  • I imagine it probably will :cool: I certainly look forward to working together again :D
  • Finally got mine posted. Sorry it was a bit late, I've had a lot going on recently. At any rate, special shoutout to @marcusdkane for doing Ael's dialog in her conversation with Bryan. Let me know what you all think!
  • The Athena slid out of warp just in front of the massive Iconian Gateway in the Jouret system. Bryan stood from his chair and paced around the bridge. "Status?" He called. "All systems report green, sir," Athena, the ship's AI said, her hologram shimmering to life next to him and matching his pace. "Good. Before we go back…
  • Sounds like Ael would get along quite nicely with Bryan :D
  • Well, make sure to post here when you do! I'd be happy to invite you to my fleet in-game :D About the Federation Romulan, technically speaking, no there is no option to create a Fed Romulan. However, if you use the "Alien" species (essentially a create-your-own-species style), Romulan detail options are present in the…
