And entry posted. Continuing on from the last story, which was far shorter than I intended it to be. Captain Persico of the Talon is lying in sickbay, wounded from the attack by the rogue Klingon Admiral. We also get a bit of a look in at Admiral Venas, who isn't above a little trick-or-treating herself...

Sickbay, USS Talon, Warp Speed. The frantic efforts of Emma, the Enhanced Medical Hologram, and her assistants was long over. The tools had been scrubbed, the floor had been cleaned, and the air filters had sucked the last of the metallic smell of blood out of the atmosphere. Captain Selene Persico lay in the primary…

And yet again, I let months slip past before I post. New entry is in here. Not quite directly on the Prompt (#2), but it allowed me to rant a little at some things that have always bugged me about the Fed missions.... Enjoy.

Challenge #2 Captain Koloss of the IKS DaH'ghal sat back at the soaring crescendo of the opera battered at her ears. A bottle of bloodwine sat open on the desk and her mekleth rested beside it. Normally her office on the Vorcha-class starship reminded her of the limitless possibilities, but all it did now was bring into…

Took a bit of modifying, but I crammed two stories I was working on together to wrap up what has happened to Captain Selene Persico. My entry is up here I think it might be a bit heavy on the Trek-nobabble. Feedback, as always is appreciated.

Previously on Star Trek Online Literary Challenges: Info sat down. The android almost looked concerned. "Lieutenant, it has now been twelve hours, four minutes and seventeen seconds since the Talon departed on the rescue mission. In casual parlance, I believe the correct expression is that Captain Persico is worryingly…

Heh. Lets see, The entire Republic government, two Starfleet Admirals, and a Section 31 operative. And he also got Vulcan High Command to label him as 'illogical'. I've got the ending and barebones of how he managed that impressive litany written out. Finishing it up is the challenge right now.
-
And I'm back! I have missed far too many of these challenges. We're once again with Captain Bh'ypiv of the Excelsior-class USS Rampart for this story. As always, comments, criticisms and plot-hole analysis is welcome.

"Good Morning Commander. What disasters unfolded during the night?" "We responded to three mechanical-cause distress calls, gave directions to a half-blind freighter, cleared a viral infection on Ganymede, intimidated a Ferengi, and shipped medical supplies to a supply depot out by Saturn." "Mmm. We get anything from the…

It's more that Admiral Venas is an 'Old Guard' Romulan. She has an appreciation of the Romulan history of subterfuge, and has found that the easiest way to get the best terms in a treaty is to control both sides of the negotiating table. The Compact will negotiate a treaty favorable to the Republic because Venas cleared…

Ahhhh. 'Tis good to be back. I've just spent three months not able to log in. Funny how it gets harder to make a good story when you start forgetting what your own characters look like. Anyhow, with Captain Persico apparently lost somewhere in the Solanae Sphere, and Captain Sazev Bh'ypiv still working to find his chief…

"Ah, come in Admiral" Admiral Karlyn Venas of the Romulan Republic entered an office that officially didn't exist. The giant of a Romulan behind the desk rejoiced in the title of "Administrator of Logistical Planning", but to those with the ears and eyes for the intricacies of the Republic he was nothing more or less than…

Well, I've managed to resurrect my launcher and get into the game. We'll see if it holds. The method I used is what I like to call the "Proxy Shuffle" 1) Open Launcher Options, Set the Proxy to "US" 2) Restart Launcher. If it hangs on StarTrekClient.manifest, repeat step. Otherwise, wait until the 'Patched' figure hangs…

Suspect it's the same issue I'm having (http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=954661). When it's open and "Patching", press Ctrl-X to bring up the Transfers window and see what files it's getting stuck on. I'm guessing that the amount patched freezes, but the amount of data received keeps climbing? And good…
-
Ah excellent. I've been having this issue for almost two months now. Yes, two months of being unable to get into the game. Gets a little way in, jams up and then happily continues to download gigabytes of information while refusing to process the patch %. I use the Ctrl-X command on the launcher to see what files it's…
-
Still having the problem. Got an open ticket with PerfectWorld Support, and they've been moving me through the automated scripts at a leisurely pace. What I would recommend is to figure which file it's in (probably sound.hogg) and manually delete that file from the directory. This forces it to redownload, and typically…

And Selene returns for another story - sort of. I really need to get back to Captain Bh'ypiv and his arrested Chief Engineer at some stage. Anyway, the idea for this one was drawn out of the VOY episode where they went after the Omega particle. With the positive abundance of Omega in Solanae and the crowds of liberated…
-
Selene walked down the narrow corridor. A week had passed since the incident at New Romulus Gateway and the subsequent battle in the Jouret system. All available ships were being diverted to Gateway suppression duties, and that had entailed a certain discussion about a certain particle. Confined to the senior staff of…
-
Note: Second Story for this LC. Intermediate story until the next Challenge comes up, this is a standalone set on New Romulus, far from the capital when the Gateway is activated and takes place concurrent with the events of Spheres of Influence. This story is heavily, heavily influenced by the events of Supertyphoon…

"Well dearest?" Shaleen took one look around the somewhat primitive plycrete structure, barren and unfurnished. "It's perfect Rivak! So much potential! Over there will be the kitchen! And we can place the first cot over there-" "First cot?" "Of course! You didn't think I was going to let you get away with only one child?…

An Updated and MUCH expanded version of my entry is now up. Direct Link to the post is: Here. Enjoy.
-
Yeah, I submitted that before playing the Featured Episode, so that threw a couple of details out. Nevermind though, because if there's one thing that Star Trek has taught generations of people (apart from the whole social commentary in between ship explosions) is that there is always a reset button behind the next moon.…
-
Kind of suspected this topic was coming, so had a story pretty much ready to go. Just required a bit of minor tweaking. We're back with Captain Persico of the USS Talon for this one. I hope to finish the cliffhanger mystery I left Captain Bh'ypiv on, but that might have to wait for another Freestyle or Redux challenge.…

With a thundering crash, the ship slewed sideways, inertial dampers insufficient to handle the sudden stress. Amazingly, there were no showers of sparks from bridge consoles. "Impact on the port shield. Minimal damage. Overload shunt diverted surge to engines. We jumped forward about...six hundred meters." The engineer…

Screeds of them. At last, my penchant for saving enjoyable jokes comes in handy. Star Trek - Stuff that NEVER happens 1) The Enterprise runs into a mysterious energy field of a type that it has encountered before. 2) The Enterprise goes to check up on a remote outpost of scientists who are all perfectly all right. 3) The…

Posted. Not my strongest attempt, but the other ideas couldn't clear the bat'leth-test. That's the one where I put all my writing ideas in an arena and see which one emerges blood-soaked but victorious. The crop was poor this challenge. I blame a string of sleepless nights. Please read and feel free to enjoy or laugh…

Captain Selene Persico swore as she banged her head on the low ceiling, and made a mental note to pressure Starfleet again to bring the ship in for a full internal refit. The cramped, close conditions of the ex-Dominion Jem'Hadar Attack Ship were wholly unnecessary in this day and age. And would it kill Utopia Planita to…

I am slightly concerned that the current "trend" for TV is darker and grittier, plus origin stories and reboots with big confusing Myth arcs, thanks to BSG, Lost, Breaking Bad and their ilk. Those are apparently what will 'sell well', and make no mistake, Star Trek will be nothing without viewer numbers, and numbers are…
-
Posted my story. Tried to do something a bit different, and not too sure how it's turned out. Wanted to have a major question mark at the end - might pick it up in another challenge. I'm sure people will be able to deduce precisely what's happened if they've ever watched DS9. Anyway, hopefully people enjoy it.

Captains Log, Stardate 86430.8. The USS Rampart is en-route to Deep Space Nine. Starfleet command has cut short our patrol around Andoria and ordered us to proceed to the Bajor System. We're making one stop along the way in order to pick up Commander Jhynes. The Commander has been attending a Warp Physics conference on…
