[OOC] Aboard the I.S.S. Prize : An Episodic Sci-Fi Adventure

[Randomness]

I like surprises.

[Tortoise]

I personally would like at least one post to gather my.... supplies before we take off. I promise to do so by the end of Friday. If that's too late and everyone else is waiting, you may nag me to get it done sooner.

EDIT: Y'know, it would be nice but not really necessary to get that post. If everyone else wants to move on, it can just be a surprise for later.

@Zanavy

Surprises are cool! But it's completely up to you. Skipping to the action was only a recommendation.

[MST3K 4ever]

I have an idea on my next post, but I want to give a couple of other people at least the opportunity to post.

[Raylah]

But maybe the pirates have like, um... a botanical garden? A pirate one?

Okay yeah, maybe Elm isn't super relevant to this one. But a lighter post about what's going on in the rest of the ship could be cool!

@Jeyma

Well if you find something interesting, bring it back to the ship, I will plant it somewhere

And then it is revealed that the rugged old Captain Du-Vos actually a big fan of flower gardening.

That's an interesting way of saying "He prefers to grow his own weed."

I mean, I'm sure Elm does too.

[MST3K 4ever]

I'll have a post up sometime tomorrow.

@Jeyma

Well, you never know what is hiding in one of those greenhouses. I can totally imagine her being the secret weed dealer for the entire ship

[IceHeart]

But wouldn't smoking weed be like, cannibalism to a plant person?

@IceHeart

I mean, humans are biologically animals, but it's not cannibalism when we eat other animals.

I kinda do like the idea of our humble Groot girl as being a vicious cannibal, tho

[Raylah]

Well she does eat other plants, I think she would mostly be overprotective of trees, or at least chopping them down without really good reasons. Other plants would probably be to her like animals are to us just like Jeyma said - if you really need part of them for something, go ahead and use them.

[Tortoise]

she found this funny, as if Carabello expected her to go on strike and avoid watching particular areas of the ship.

@datadogie

Look, I'm just prepping for the inevitable AI Rights Movement. When Cake decides to jettison half the ship in protest, Nick doesn't wanna be on her bad side

[MST3K 4ever]

A couple of things I would like to knowbefore I post...for clarification purposes.

1) It's just Rod, the Doc and I in Alpha?

2) Is it ok if I refer to Robin as 3rd in command? It's for posting purposes only. She would be like "Scotty" on "Star Trek" not looking to take command, but if pushed into service she will.

Basically Robin will be giving an order to Alpha shuttle for when she is crawling under the ship.

Yeah. Unless you wanna bring in some NPC Redshirts. A generic pilot or security guard, maybe?

@MST3K 4ever

Mmm... that's a tough one. After Carabello and Korax, I imagine that the third in command would probably be Gue'rach, due to his experience, age and administrative background.

But if you need her to give orders, just have her be in charge of Alpha Team. In that group, she's the most experienced and even the most educated.

[Randomness]

Actually that brings up a question, about how many non PC crew members are there? Elm has two assistants, and I can imagine Mason having a nurse or assistant of some kind if that's the case.

@Randomness

I was honestly trying to avoid this question for as long as humanly possible. I'm still tempted to drop some vague non-answer like "As many as you want there to be."

But alright. This has a lot of Trek influence, and the ship that I used as the Prize's image is a fan-made modification of the Enterprise F from Star Trek Online. I don't know how big that one is, but the Enterprise we see in TNG has roughly 1000 people

1000 folks seems a bit much. But, it would fit with Raylah's post that gave the Prize room for 7 greenhouses. It would also fit with Mason needing medical staff, because there are too many people for one doctor to handle. And finally, that fits my stubborn insistence that we have a shuttle big enough to carry 2 dozen people.

Still, 1000 strikes me as too big. So let's tone it down to about 300, with the space to have greenhouses, shuttles and other yet-to-be-named rooms.

So, TL;DR: The Prize is a massive ship with roughly 300 individuals on board

Everyone cool with that?

[Randomness]

That's fine. Thanks. I'll put in a post sometime after Robin starts to do her thing under the ship.

Fair enough. I will have a generic pilot for my post purposes.

@Jeyma

The image used for our Prize is pretty much modified version of the in-game (STO) Enterprise-F which was an Odyssey-class (and somehow also a Yorktown-class) starship. Per the game's canon, an Odyssey-class is just under 1,100 meters in length.
