Not sure if I'll come up with anything, but #2 seems the most promising.
We'll see what happens.
#1 looks an awful lot like the Stargate SG-1 episode "The Changeling", or possibly DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars". Might be tricky to write, but possibly a good challenge.
I've got half of #2 plotted in my head already for Eleya. First day in charge of the Bajor, what fun!
For #3, I've got a couple ideas. One with Brokosh encountering some Gorn separatists, another with Morgan, with the RSE offering peace to the Republic a la the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty in The Hand of Thrawn.
As for you, cheesebasket, don't be a jerk.

Yeah, I think that scene went really well; Omek's religious beliefs make him a...strange person to interact with.
As in, tenet #1 of his religion is that forcing anyone to worship Odo is evil. Tenet # 2 is "Don't worship Glorious Odo'Ital in front of him, for He is made uncomfortable by our devotion".
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed it!
However, I'd suspect after a couple of missions, D'trel will be losing her ship because she keeps on losing crew. They don't want to work with her because she is one scary person.
Worffan, do you like taking Psychology and Philosophy classes in college?
That one is so stupid, he lost a Rock/Paper/Scissors game to a Pony.
I've taken intro and clinical psych, yeah. Plus I've read the DSM IV-TR and the moronic mess known as the DSM V.
If you've noticed, none of the people D'trel has on her ship at the start of this story are regular cast members. The guys she DOES have are all there for personal reasons.
And she's actually a good person and a competent commander; it's just that the Tal Shiar and the Iconians cause her to...have issues.

Starswordc: Excellent as usual. Liked the in-jokes and outside references. The "Generations" reference made me laugh. Is Kerensky turning from an in-joke into a full-on expy?
EDIT: also, any thoughts on the "Reunion" adaptation I did? Did I do a decent job resuscitating Neelix from scrappyhood?
In the Air Force we used to send guys for a hundred feet of flight line and a bucket of jet wash.
Yeah, I was definitely drawing a contrast with Generations there. Instead of having a half-finished ship forced into action because it's bizarrely the only ship in range at the Federation's capital and military headquarters, the ship is completely finished and responds because the captain's in a bad mood and wants to shoot something.
Ooh, I like that one. Another one was "mail buoy watch". You give the TRIBBLE a large hook and binoculars, fitted with a harness and safety line and stationed on the weather decks near the bow. He is told he's on mail buoy watch. The imaginary "mail buoy" contains all of the ship's mail, dropped off by another ship earlier that day. Instructions are given that when s/he sees a buoy of X description he must hook the buoy or the bag on the buoy. They're warned that the whole ship is waiting for their mail, and failure to hook it will have the whole ship mad at him.
For bonus points, they also tell the guy that if he gets it wrong he'll be dragged overboard by the buoy, so he's in his brightly colored waterproofs. Meanwhile literally everybody on the entire ship, captain included, is sitting there falling down laughing at how dumb he looks.
Then there's the one Eleya mentioned, "blowing the DCA". The noob is told that the DCA is like an air horn and he needs to blow it before the ship leaves port. The DCA, or Damage Control Assistant, is a junior officer.

Actually that was a pretty nicely handled play on prompt 1. And the necroposting reference cracked me up given we've had two Archived Post threads in two days just on this subforum.

I laughed anyway.
The fun part of this challenge is that if I can ever get the LC Halloween story to come the hell out of my hindbrain, it'll also fill Prompt #2 here, as it'll take place during the inaugural voyage of the Latinum Princess (Earth to Bajor, taking some people for the Day of Remembrance, with a stopover at DS9 to transfer personnel and cargo bound for Gamma Quadrant).

I am reminded what my Literature teacher told me, if you have to have a glossary to help understand your story, then you need a rewrite.
That one is so stupid, he lost a Rock/Paper/Scissors game to a Pony.

The 15th. We can't lock it, of course, but we can just call that the end date and set that as our goal.
I hope I got the Andorian "brother" correct.
So, cast for this vignette:
Kathryn Beringer - Rachel Nichols
Anthi Ythysi - Katheryn Winnick
Mentioned but not seen: Thel Ythysi - Kevin Sorbo
Mentioned but not named: Omazei - Gemma Arterton
Nice little quiet character piece. You do those really well, Scarlet.
And yes, thi is the correct noun for a thaan sibling.

Thanks for picking one of my prompts! I had a pretty good idea for this one, too bad I missed this one.
Hopefully I'll get in on one of the next ones. I should be able to get back into these LCs/ULCs shortly.
PS. The other day I had a dream where Ba'al invaded our world. Unfortunately, with no SG1 Earth's defense was pretty shoddy. It was sadly funny. Considering that I haven't watched Stargate in ages, the only person I can blame for this is you worffan101... Thanks for that.
Well, since the thread isn't locked you can technically write the story anyway.
Heh, you're welcome for that! I do try. :cool: Hail Ba'al!
