    Another 'different' approach. My female gorn ship/hologram had her being implanted into a recently dead Gorn borg drone. Mirmulnir also had his body upgraded with a borg cybernetic network so she wouldn't feel weird. it in turn helps him by letting him integrate with his Kits better, as well as give him the borg augmented strength, speed, eyesight all in special implants made by the KDF. If you need an example, imagine the Biotics from Mass effect, only replace it with borg tech.

    Put up an entry.

    It shows how indecisive my captain can be, how stubborn and temperamental he can be, his mannerisms very much mirror my own.
    This also plays off his backstory, as he mucks up a great many things that don't involve tactics, and the connection he shares to his senior staff, whom he has served with for a long time.

    I have intentionally left a great many holes in the details of what happens on the surface, to signify some sort of event occuring that is not to be disclosed for some reason (the exact reason I know, but to disclose it is to break it, thus making it unsuitable. Choose your own reason :P)

    Yours I enjoyed. Always like a little mysterious conspiracy.

    My captian in this has just come fresh off of the betreyal of his Second officer who was found out to be Section 31. I didn't put a lot into the story because I'm Reflecting how my captians state of mind is. This one while it is diffcult to understand has Kligons in it.

    i've finally got my entry completed. When i began this, I had one idea in mind. As i wrote, somewhere along the line, I deviated my path and ended up somewhere completely different. Nonetheless, I hope everyone enjoys my story. Kind of lengthy, so here it is in 3 parts. Sorry about the wall of text. 1,2, and 3

    There was more content produced in that thread in a matter of days than Cryptic gave us in STO for almost a year.

    And the people in there also did a better job. Or are we not allow to say they did a better job?

    God knows i wouldn't mind getting a writting job for Cryptic. I've got the ideas, i'm just not that great with the foundry to do them my self just yet.

    then team up with someone. (not me because I'm a Foundry n00b too lol). But there was a thread around here a couple of days ago where someone who had nothing for story ideas but could work the Foundry asked for someone just like how you described yourself.

    I dunno, maybe with all of the issues going on with STFs and the terrible drop rates i'll take the time to sit there and learn to Foundry.

    That's along the same lines of thought I had when I read that thread too. I can't blame you. :D
