[Morden Man]

I've never been in a Star Trek rp that lasted for very long. What positions are still available?

@TheUnknowable

We're still in need of a ship counsellor that inexplicably sits on the bridge.

@Morden Man

Perfect, I wanted to be a Vulcan. Mind melding's a valid medical practice, right?

Also, what happened to the Maquis? They are still around, just very small, right? Just wanted some secret backstory stuff.

edit: I think that the councilor is essentially a moral officer as well. Also, the only member of the medical personnel in the most critical area on the ship.

@TheUnknowable

They were destroyed by the Dominion alliance with the Cardassians.

All the filled positions can be found in the character tag. The first OOC post has a list of potential positions.

And you're more than welcome to be a Vulcan guidance counsellor.

[TheUnknowable]

Name: Teruk

Age: 54

Rank/Position: Lieutenant, Ship's Counselor

Race: Half Vulcan/Half Betazoid

Appearance:

Personality: Most people think that Vulcans never lie, and are always either friendly or at least neutral. Those people haven't met Teruk. He will do whatever he believes is the most tactically sound in the moment. In the past, he has resorted to actions that many would consider cruel. He, however, considers them necessary, and, as the saying goes, what is necessary is never unwise.

History: As a young man growing up on Mars, he quickly became known as a bit of a delinquent, much to the disappointment of his father. His mother, however, thought that he was just misunderstood. After all, there weren't many half-vulcans on the planet, and none his own age. He ended up winning a bit of popularity by preforming various tricks with his telepathy, but soon the other kids grew tired of it.
As the attention he craved left him, he started doing more and more daring things, including picking fights and a bit of minor theft. At the age of nineteen, the later got him arrested. As part of his plea to get out of detention, and at the request of his father, he asked to join Star Fleet.
He graduated and served as an ensign in the medical department for several years before receiving a promotion and being transferred. The location to which he was transferred has been hidden on his record, but he came back just months ago, being transferred to the Orion.

Skills: Science, medical, counseling

Other: none

Sample Post: Teruk felt the heat of a phaser as it shot past his cheek. "If I remain under fire like this, it will be difficult to render medical assistance, Captain."

The Captain, a Human dressed in leather, fired back. "I know, Teruk, I know. This wasn't supposed to happen." They had come here to meet a Ferengi who said he could get his hands on a tri-cobalt device for them. He had sold them out to the Cardassians, though.

Teruk fired back, hitting one of the Cardassians in the chest, knocking him down if not killing him. "Captain, I believe if you can buy me some time, I can get a signal through to the ship so that they can beam us out of here."

"But isn't there too much ionic interference in the area with all of these power conduits around?"

Teruk fired his phaser, now on maximum, at the power conduit behind the nearest group of Cardassians. It exploded, sending shrapnel into the crates they were hiding behind, missing him by only centimeters. "Not for long." he said.

The next thirty seconds were filled with a hail of phaser fire, as the Cardassians began advancing on their position. Thanfully, they were able to hold the now flanking forces off long enough for the wounded to begin disappearing in a reddish beam of light. A few seconds later Teruk stopped firing, noticing that his gun was almost depleted, and was also swept up.

In the transporter room aboard the antique Klingon freighter he stepped off the pad and, laying his rifle down, opened his kit and began to run a dermal regenerator over the wounds of his injured comrades. "He'll need to be taken to sickbay, I can't do enough for him here." Teruk told the two crewmen standing there. They put the man on a stretcher and started carrying him away.

The Captain walked over the door and hit the button on the comm panel. "Are we still hidden T'Sil?" he asked.

"Cloaking device is operational and has received no damage." she said.

"Good, then get us back home, Maximum warp." He responded. A few seconds later there was a lurch in the ship as it jumped to warp.

"The mission appears to have been a failure." Teruk said. "We failed our only objective and received three casualties for our trouble."

The Captain slapped him on the shoulder. "That's what I like about being a Maquis," he said, "There's never a dull moment."

[Blue Demon]

@TheUnknowableIf you want to be Maquis, please PM me. We need to discus this. Thank you.

[Blue Demon]

Also, it appears with Ruby's post we are once again right in our timeline.

Give the gal a round of applause. :D

[Blue Demon]

@TheUnknowableThe CS passes.

On the cosmetic side, if you could separate your paragraphs/sections or bold them, so there's some sort of differentiation that'd be great.

EDIT:
And it's Ship's counselor

Nearly forgot. :D

[TheUnknowable]

Can I post now, then?

[Blue Demon]

Yup. Go ahead.

Just don't forget to add your character to the character tab please.

(See that M. Jeff has and is now sad)

[Wade Wilson]

Engineering:

Cutler, M, ??, ???
Johnson, ??, ??, ???

@Blue Demon

Oh, both of them are human males, Johnson's 27, and Cutler's 36.

Also, if you want it, Cutler's first name is Jack, and Johnson's first name is David. Xyrx only calls them by their first names when off duty, same for all of the engineers.

Updated. :)

[TheUnknowable]

Just a quick comment. In this post someone used echolocation to find Jem'hadar troops. I thought that their cloaks were phase-shift cloaks, as they did with the mines in that episode of DS9. If that's the case, echolocation shouldn't have worked.

[Blue Demon]

The cloaking is

similar to a more advanced form of active camouflage.

Memory Alpha

If you can reference the exact episode #, I can check it against the specifics, but as far as I know, echolocation works.

[TheUnknowable]

Ok, because in the episode, to find the mines they had to look for spacial disruptions or some such. Just wondering. I'll look it up later.

[Blue Demon]

I think you're thinking about the light differences. They had to look for weird looking shadows or something to that effect.

@TheUnknowable

Jem'Hadar don't use technology to cloak. It's a native ability to their physiology, regulated by ket-white.

The only interphasic cloak we know of requires an Interphase Generator.

[Blue Demon]

If you want to get technical, only ships can use cloaks. Which I just learned. Nifty eh?

@Blue Demon

Ships in actual space, yeah.
