9:00 - I went to pick up the laundry.
11:00 - I met with n'Kann for lunch.
2:00 - I rescued some idiot Federation captain in the Nequencia system
4:00 on - Spent the rest of the afternoon watching Epohhs.
It's not so-much in-game silliness as personal silliness, but I had a white Tellarite Diagnostic Engineer on one Fed character... Her name was Sega.
I never could send her on a mission without thinking about the Sega Genesis...

I can't say if her accident involved the holodeck or not, I have a lot of these Doffs assigned to various tasks.
Also, I'm getting highly amused by the Dr Who themed doffs I keep finding.
Nyssa (a KDF science doff from the KDF academy store) is the one I remember the most.
I also found Johanna Grant (Jo Grant) on the Starfleet side (from the Doff store at Academy).
And while I was moving doffs around my characters, I found one called Auton.
One of the Doffing Devs must be a Dr Who fan.

I've currently got a Purple Advisor and two Purple Bartenders on a "Convince High Ranking Tal Shiar Officer to Defect assignment"... what am I thinking they'll do? Get him so drunk he'll agree to switching sides?

The confiscate contraband always ends up getting me something silly like a hypo spray. I could only imagine the scenario, being caught red handed using one.
Also i love reading these, some of the mare hilarious. I need to pay more attention to the doff assignments.

Appearantly, yes. I ended up getting a Critical on the assignment, four thousand espionage XP, two thousand recruitment XP, and two DOffs - a purple Space Warfare Specialist (vs. Romulans) and a blue E-Weaps. Officer...
They're both Remans, which makes me wonder why they were with the Tal Shiar. Maybe former-followers of Taris?

I find that assignment an endless source of amusement and occassional whattheheck moments.
Since I always send the same 2 Doffs to do it, I imagine whenever the crew sees them walking down the halls on the ship, they avoid them, because they know they're looking for contraband!
Some of the things I get are odd though.
Medium and small hypos annoy me, if you're going to smuggle them, at least give me large ones!
Tribbles I wonder about, they're not illegal on Starfleet vessels.
Although I do wonder about the crewmember who keeps sneaking cannibal tribbles on board. :eek:

Having the Klingon Doffs Come back from successfull missions with injuries.
Gotta cheer for them .. either they arn't quitters, or they like to hit the pub after and get in a good old bar fight.
An odd result from an Archaeological Survey mission on my KDF.
I got a Critical, the Doffs came back with some samples and 1 prisoner.
Now imagining that debriefing session:
Science Department Head: Let me get this straight, I sent you to collect archaeological relics and this (pointing to prisoner) is one of the "samples" you brought back?
Does this look like an historical artefact to you?

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

A purple Caitian Astrometrics Scientist (+80% chance of finding R&D materials)... named C'Ruull. Can you imagine the jokes that guy must have had to put up with?
"Why must you be so C'Ruull?"
"He had C'Ruull parents."
"Oh, that's just C'Ruull."
And of course, once he got to Starfleet Academy, there were probably people singing that Elvis Presley classic... "Don't Be C'Ruull".

Scientist 2: And the sword... But she is a historical artifact!
Prisoner (Cuts off Scientist 2's arm with the sword): I'm thirty-seven, I'm not old!
Scientist 2: It's only a flesh wound!

I always thought of the prisoners you get from that as former Federation archaeologists. :P

Now imagining the next stage of the conversation:
Scientist 1: Medical emergency in the cargo hold, we've got a injury, someone has lost their arm!
Ship's Doctor (over comms): How in the heck did you manage to lose an arm opening a storage crate?
Science Dpt Head: They were stupid enough to give the prisoner they brought back a functional sword. The next time you take prisoners, don't give them weapons when you bring them onboard!
They did it again. :rolleyes:
Another Critical, another prisoner brought back with the Artefacts.
I'm going to have to schedule a seminar, how to identify artefacts and why people are not them.
Now I'm starting to question their intelligence, they've done this for a 3rd time......

Actually, sharksinspace, that makes a strange kind of sense - to me, anyway - since they're from Federation member/ally races, no one would pay any attention to them.
Ferengi KDF DOff to Federation outpost security officer: "Why are we loading contraband, industrial replicators, medical supplies, a Phaser Pulsewave rifle and two human janitors onto a shuttlecraft? ...Well, that's a stupid question."
(Little DS9 joke there...)
That's like my habit of sending a pair of Klingon Security Officers on the assignment to search the ship for Contraband... on a Starfleet vessel, where they obviously stand out. I can just imagine some crewman quickly walking down the corridors, hissing quietly to all the other crew members they pass, "Captain's sending his Klingons to search for it, hide your Contraband! Ch'kar and K'lak are headed this way, hide your Contraband!"
Easiest way I can figure out to explain why they seem to fail that mission so often...

If I saw a Ferengi doing anything at all, I'd be automatically suspicious! :cool:
And way back in the beta test of doffing, I'd send a Klingon and an Orion on an away mission together.
Orion came back pushing the Klingon on a stretcher because one of them now has an appointment with the sickbay.
And that was a regular occurance......
That's one of the reasons I refuse to have Klingon DOFFs, they fail too easily!
I'm imagining it's because they charge into battle, bat'leth at the ready while the Orion stands back and watches them get mauled.

Invariably a bartender makes it into my dilithium mining assignments along with a bunch of explosive experts. Explosives & Alcohol... :eek: What kind of captain am I?

Today, I perform an experiment (well, with assignment durations and all, the results won't be in until tomorrow, but still...). I call it 'What happens when you send an Exocomp to play Dabo?'...

I always get a chuckle when I have to retrieve an exocomp or hologram from sickbay.
