You're accepted! Now, if only other people would show up.

Well, let's see. We've got radiological and biological covered, and I suppose you could count symbiote gas as chemical. We're a one-ship WMD! I forsee us delving into the ethics of superweapons in our future.

Ok, I am still here, but, a few days ago, I got handed my eviction notice, so, I am currently packing up my house... This means that, chances are, I am not going to be able to get a good post up any time soon... Sorry.

Oh dear. I hope everything's going to be okay. <3

Double post so that you guys see the link to the OOC.

Battletrek SG-5

"The series has allegedly performed well on DVD."

Battletrek SG-5, the classic cult hit sci-fi series, is holding its 10th annual in Phoenix, Arizona. Equaling, if not exceeding, most other series at the time, Battletrek is about the adventures of the SG-5, the Earth Republic's finest starship. The actors are gathered in the green room, preparing to go on stage for a Q&A period. Unbeknownst to them, in five minutes time, with an incredibly cheesy sound effect, they'll find themselves on board a fully functional replica of the SG-5. The SG-5 is fully crewed by hundreds of mute clones, each ready to take orders from their bridge crew. To make matters worse, the hapless actors are violating the Aegean Neutral Zone!

Okay, yes, this is heavily inspired by Galaxy Quest. It's an awesome movie and you should go watch it. But you don't have to in order to enjoy this RP.

The Show:
Take popular sci-fi series - Babylon 5, Stargate, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica - and spoof them. Spoof them mercilessly. The baseline, however, is Star Trek. The show is about a spaceship (really mostly just its bridge crew) going on adventures-of-the-week, with space aliens and red shirts aplenty. This is a three-season show dropped by Fox before its time. Sci-Fi picked it up, and then cancelled it after a mere two seasons while they transitioned to Syfy. It now only comes on, of all places, BBC America. However, it has allegedly done quite well on DVD, and fans are hopeful for either a sequel or at least a movie. Paramount, who owns the copyright, hasn't budged, however.

The Ship:
The SG-5 that the actors eventually find themselves on is a nearly perfect replica of the one on the show. Is a hallway mysteriously filled with crushy-gnashy-metal things for no clear reason other than to build tension on the show? Well, it's there on the ship. The only exceptions are minor changes to the living quarters (they included bathrooms [extrapolated from the biology that they saw on the show], for instance) and engineering spaces.

There is no information on who built the ship or why they beamed up the actors.

The RP:
We're going to start at the convention, just so characters can get to know one another, and then beaming up will commence. This is a comedic RP, - not that I don't see there being potentially darker or more serious moments, though.

|Character Trope: James T. Kirk; The Catchphrase-Spouting, Fearless Hero
|Actor Personality: Self-obsessed, Believes he's great at improvising in any situation, Never thinks he's wrong, Thinks he's MacGyver just because he used duct tape to fix his beat-up BMW's door.
|Actor Bio: [work in progress, but you get the idea]
He's a third generation American citizen, with no traces of his Japanese heritage other than his looks. Originally a night janitor at Paramount studios, he happened to be replacing the right executive's lightbulb at the right time. Thus landing him his first (and only) big break - Captain Hu Toshiba. Pleased at his sudden success, some of his worse personality traits began to make themselves known over the course of filming. He may have come from a relatively humble beginning, but he became anything but humble.

In the years since filming, he's hosted several "reunion" barbecues at his house (which the rest of the cast only showed up to for his ribs), attended every convention he could get his hands on, and generally has been milking all that he can from his fame. At first, he did pretty well for himself, but as the fanbase gradually dissipated, so too did his income. Now, Sam lives in a trailer parked in the middle of nowhere, eating mostly rice and beans.

Okay, I'll make an OOC.

Stargate - Alliances

Yay, I posted! :)

Stargate - Alliances

Dr. Kate paused. The ship had been fairly quiet so far. After the launch (routine, as she'd expected), she'd taken care of a trivial problem in the tertiary missile fire control system that was causing it to read "ready" when neither it nor the crew were ready to launch. The system was one of a handful that she'd thoughtfully selected months ago as needing to be overhauled to meet with "advanced weapons systems protocols". The dozen-odd systems were strategically scattered over the ship so that her presence going or coming from virtually anywhere would be almost unquestioned. It wasn't that she was the only one capable of understanding the systems after she'd introduced dozens of changes to both the procedures and hardware. In fact, she'd made a point of ensuring that the actual firing sequence was almost identical to the originals. But it was significantly easier for the crew to just call her up for simple maintainence tasks, rather than have to deal with the small beaureucracy of red tape that she'd added.

But something about her entire not-quite-kosher scheme of getting on board the Langford bothered her. Or perhaps it was just how quiet the ship had been so far. More likely, however, was that she was hesitating before she started her backup plan. Yes, she'd managed to board the ship. Yes, they would, sooner or later, come into contact with the Lucian Alliance. However, if she hadn't ascended or crafted an extraplanar weapons platform by then, she needed a backup plan. Atomic devices were remarkably simple, when it came right down to it. All she had to do was walk into the ship's lab and start creating one, under the guise of analyzing some obscure weapons system.

Having identified the source of her hesitation, she smiled and shook it off. Quietly creating a neutron bomb. What an idiotic thing to worry about. Confidently, she opened the door to the ship's lab, noting the two people already present.

"Pardon me," she said, stepping around the man. She plopped her stack of books down on a corner bench - might as well keep reading about ascension while she was here - and got to work on creating schematics.

It feels nice to have time to RP again. Anybody watching the Stanley Cup? Go Penguins!

I actually added something to that collab now, Apollo26. :)

|KabenSaal: Okay, just add that to your other post (so that way everything's in one place), and you're good to go.
