S.P.a.C.E, Specialized Patrol and Conducted Exploration, represents the elite force that maintains peace and stability throughout the known galaxy. It's the largest existing line of defense that exists to this very day. Beings from all over dream to join S.P.a.C.E and create a name for themselves to last throughout the millenniums. Will your efforts lead you to stand above the masses, or will you sizzle out like all the rest?

Ahh! What a great thing to wake up to! First day after S.P.a.C.E academy graduation and you've already been promoted to a captain! Perhaps a low-ranking one...but it's still a step ahead of the rest. You're a young Reptiran male, with great potential, and a knack for getting along with folks! You have plenty of friends and plenty of skill, as well! Perhaps you don't have the strongest muscles, but you have sharp reflexes and a good eye for knowing what people want.

You're currently in your room. Your roommate went out last night to celebrate and has not come back since...which isn't surprising. What should you get to first?

So we're lizard Picard, then. Okay. Makes sense with the baldness and all.

>What should you get to first?
Go over the information for your deployment. What do you know about the vessel you're being assigned? Does she have a crew? Can you read the crew's personnel records and files? Do you need to start working on selecting candidates for your own crew? Can you start reading the ship's logs of previous missions?

Have you been given a specific mission for your command?

Picard's nice, but I'm sorta hoping we can use our people skills to read and play people Sherlock/Loki style, or like Moist Von Lipwig from Discworld. Not necessarily immoral, but devious and shrewd. To that end, let's enquire upon our mission details and ship compliment, with a focus on the people we will be meeting and interacting with. See if we can get a read of everyone before we meet them.

[What do you know about this VESSEL?]

Oof! Yep, you still have that chip in your head. Almost every S.P.a.C.E member has a special chip implanted in their brain. It's supposed to aid in decision making. It shoots tiny...er...voices into your head, in the form of suggesting thoughts. You have to admit, the idea of having voices literally in your head is a bit strange, but you quickly get used to it.

Now let's see...the vessel, assuming it's the standard grade Moon Cruise ship...the specs are as followed:

-Room for two crew members.
-A 30 Unit tank for fuel.
-A bathroom.
-A food storage pantry.
-One plasma blaster attached to the front.
-An auto-pilot feature.

It's not advanced enough for hyperdrive, which makes you a bit bummed...but a ship upgrade in the later future isn't impossible. Since you just became a captain, you don't have any crewmates. It's just you. The Moon Cruise can be operated by one person, though. In terms of your 'special mission', you have no information regarding the details. The message instructed you to see the Mission Control desk, which is on the 5th floor of this building. Currently you are sitting in the basement.

It's also important to note that you are a bit hungry as well.

>Room for two crew members.
That part was at least on the datapad, but since some strands of "thought" simply skim it over, I suppose that's a good thing to mention.
>In terms of your 'special mission', you have no information regarding the details.
Five credits says it's to fetch a person assigned to you as your first crew member, who will end up being your roommate.
>It's also important to note that you are a bit hungry as well.
Ah, I seem to have lost the map (was I even given one...?). Are there any cafeterias along the way up? Perhaps visiting one for a small breakfast is in order. Can't captain a vessel on an empty stomach, after all.

[Go to the cafeteria and eat food, but first grab your rubber duck.]

That's a good idea. You can't explore the farthest reaches of space on an empty stomach, and carrying your lucky duck around can't hurt, right? You take that and leave the room. Everyone seems to be sleeping still...either that or they're already at breakfast. But you're aware that a lot of drinking and celebrating went on last night, so everyone having a hangover would be a safer bet.

[Do you own a map?]

No, you don't really need a map at this point. You know this place like the back of your claw. After several months of training and preparation, getting around is fairly easy. You head down the long hallway until you locate the main elevator. There's already someone waiting for it to come down, too...it's Murphy! You...don't know her very well. You're sure she has something against you as well, but you're not sure what. Murphy is infamous for being short-tempered and a bit on-edge. Everyone naturally avoids her...it's a bit sad. You should try and start up some friendly conversation, at least. "Murphy! Good morning! I didn't expect you to be up this early..."

It's nothing against you, then, unless you're always attempting to start a conversation. How did she fare on her tests, though? Might also be jealous, if you did better, or envious if somebody came close to her.
>>

If it is jealousy that she didn't make it as a captain while you did, it could be because of her cold attitude with everyone.

She needs to learn that crew members, especially captains, have to be respectful and friendly to their colleagues in order to build trust. Don't tell her that (unless she asks).

[Rub your testicles on her face.]

Woah, woah what was that? Is this thing broken? Ahh, jeez.

[She is clearly jealous of you!]

Jealous? About you being a captain? You just recieved the message this morning! No one else knows! At least...you don't think anyone else knows. "Murphy...why do dislike me?" She raises an eyebrow, a bit confused from the looks of it. "What? I don't dislike you. I simply do not like to participate in mindless babble on my way to breakfast. To be quite honest, though, you aren't someone who deserves my respect." Ouch. You feel a biting sting in your stomach. Is this what a burn feels like? You reply with a hurt expression. "Jeez, no need to be so harsh!" Murphy just snorts, turning back to face the elevator. It lets out a dinging sound before opening up to allow you and Murphy inside. The ride up to breakfast was quiet and kinda uncomfortable. You hear the muted melody of monotonous elevator music playing from the speakers installed in the ceiling. Once you reach the 3rd floor, you both get off and go separate ways. "Have a great day, Murphy!" She just waves her arm at you. Even from outside the dining hall, you can smell the strong odor of space food! It smells like the chefs are cooking up something good, too! Entering the cafeteria, you notice how barren it really is. There's only a handful of persons scattered amongst the rows of tables. Only the cooks seemed to be truly awake. You pass through the line to grab a tray, taking a seat near the back. On the menu today? Avary Egg and cooked sausages. With a carton of fresh milk of course. Not bad!

"Drass! You're awake!" You turn your head to see who could have called you. It was Tava. A Mandrake woman. She's kind, careful, gentle, everything that a flower would represent.

"Tava, hey. You don't seem hungover at all, hehe."

"Oh, I didn't celebrate with alcohol, heh. I just had a quiet get-together with a few people."

"Of course, of course. Hey, you still planning on becoming a nurse?"

"Why yes! Now that we're graduated I can finally start looking for a crew to join..." It's a shame I can't recruit S.P.a.C.E members onto my ship...she's a wonderful medic. She knows medicine inside and out, like no one I've ever seen!

"I hope you find somewhere to go, you're a great woman!" Tava waves at the air, a blush showing up on her face.

"Oh stop it, Drass! You know compliments make me embarrassed...oh, did you get anything in your e-mail? I already have a few requests to train some new medical students...I'm not sure if I should accept, but if I got e-mails surely you got some?" The e-mail you recieved said not to publicly announce it...but they never quite mentioned a punishment. What harm could there be in telling a close friend? Should you confide in Tava?

I know a few people who have ruined promising careers by ignoring the no disclosure policies on there new job offers.

Just because you graduated does not mean they are not testing and watching you. Every action you take as a new captain will decide how well your career goes.

So either tell her you have not got anything definitive yet or nothing you can talk about. I would just say that you have not got anything but are hopeful. Keeps it out of the conversation and is easier to avoid.

Woah. Is it communicating with itself? You were told that your chip might be...self-aware? Whatever that means. At least that's what other S.P.a.C.E members said.

Assuming you trust her, the correct answer here might be to tell her you didn't receive anything you can talk about.

Which technically doesn't tell her what you're not supposed to tell her, but does let her know you did receive a message. You're all Starfleet S.P.a.C.E., she should understand that sometimes you have orders you're not supposed to discus.

Although there is a difference between a public announcement (telling anyone and everyone) and confiding in someone you can trust.

>highlighted words / phrases could have important details or pending elaboration
I wonder if that means you can recruit S.P.a.C.E. members for your crew, you just aren't aware of the specific circumstances that would allow it. Maybe there are hoops you need to jump through, or technicalities you need to be aware of to apply.

I wonder what the difference between blue and red is? Let's test a few...

[Do not reveal secret, but hint at an email.]

"I did get an email, but they asked that I keep it a secret. I hope you don't mind me not saying..." Tava expressed a look of disappointment, but she nodded in understanding. "I don't mind. Best not to test your luck. S.P.a.C.E has a tendency to get kinda serious about matters like that." You place a hand on her arm and give her a reassuring smile. "Hey! I think you should go train those students, though. It'd look great on a resume and it sounds really fun!" She angled her head, frowning. "I'm not sure. I don't think I'd make a great teacher...I barely know what I'm doing now, hehe. But thank you for supporting me.” Tava never had a whole lot of confidence in herself. She performs at the top of her class and has been praised by almost every head officer in the force, in some form or another. ”Hey, I'm gonna go fetch some food, okay? Wait right there!" Tava took her leave and you now sat in your own company yet again, left to contemplate over a few things.

[Elaborate the difference between red and blue text.]

[Processing…]

[Red text is used to highlight important terms or details that should be noted and remembered. Blue text is the chip’s inner dialogue.]

[Define the term, “can’t recruit S.P.a.C.E members”]

[Processing…]

[The act of recruiting S.P.a.C.E members is heavily discouraged due to code of conduct. S.P.a.C.E believes in the harmony of all forms of life in the galaxy. Therefore, the force actively works to include as many as possible. Newly promoted captains, as such, have been excluded from the option of taking in their own peers and comrades.]

They told you that basically from Day 1 of training. S.P.a.C.E is a harmonious defense force. Plenty of the crewmembers on famous teams today didn’t even train in S.P.a.C.E at all, but rather, under the control of their own captains. It may not be the most reliable way of expanding, but so far it hasn’t failed.

[Define “Murphy”]

[Retrieving statistics on S.P.a.C.E member RP4030…]

[Murphy, Rank D, Strategist, Reptiran, Female, No current crew.]

Oh? The chip contains data of all S.P.a.C.E members as well. While a bit over-the-top, this is certainly a good method to size up other people or even just find small details of information.

[Define term, “lucky duck”.]

[Processing…]

[Lucky duck, rubber duck kept with person since infanthood.]

Yep! Your Mother gave you that duck. You’re surprised it’s in such clean condition, even today. You hate the idea of anybody else touching it.

[Define term “Moon Cruise”]

[Retrieving data from Space Vessel Database…]

[Moon Cruise, Class-1 vessel, capacity of 2 persons, main function: basic transportation.]

Hmm, that does make sense. Perhaps you shouldn't file a request to recruit Tava, then. Based on what mission you are given, however, you should be able to request "Somebody" who's skills would help you out, just nobody by name. For example, if you're tasked to go scouting, a strategist may be helpful. Ferrying medical cargo, a medic would be. The odds of getting anybody specific are quite low, but you can at least fill the position based on the job, right?

[Tava asked you to stay put.]

You suppose that was true. To quell your interest you wave sheepishly at the Reptiran sitting alone at the table near you. He raised his scaly head, golden irises staring at you curiously, inquiring as to your reason for calling to his attention. Perhaps he didn't quite interpret that as a greeting. You try once more, putting on a warm smile and waggling your fingers. This time he responds with a much warmer expression.

Good to know that your charisma hasn't worn away from S.P.a.C.E training yet! Those rigorous days of workouts and conditioning caused a sort of decline in your social skills, though most S.P.a.C.E members still held you in good favor. The Reptiran stood from his spot and relocated to the seat across from you. He didn’t utter any words, but simply began to eat. You figure silent company was better than no company. You know better than to force a quiet individual to speak unwillingly with awkward conversation. Perhaps while you wait for Tava you can do a bit more pondering with this fancy chip of yours.

[Define "Mandrake"]

[Retrieving data from the Galactic Species Archive...]

[Mandrake, Classification: Plant form, mutated botanical life form evolving into a humanoid figure. Susceptible to fire, preference to sunlight.]

[Define “harmonious defense force”]

[Retrieving information…]

[Related to: S.P.a.C.E. Aim to preserve peace and harmony through the connections of unknown life forms. Belief that solely interacting with known companions prevents the branching of social networking.]


Ah, yes. It may seem a bit romanticized, but S.P.a.C.E holds a firm belief that in order to protect and maintain peace throughout the galaxy, getting to know different people from different solar systems is important. What better way to befriend someone than by having them join your crew? Travelling through countless adventures as trusted crewmates? Only captains of Rank B and above are allowed to recruit from S.P.a.C.E...assuming you are starting at the lowest rank, that would be Rank E

[Define “famous teams”]

[Searching...results pending…]

[In order of popularity, VENUS and The Stargazers top the list. See also, WormHole or Deep Space Cadets.]

Famous teams? Yes, those are all names of incredible Elite teams. VENUS, the all-female S.P.a.C.E crew. Fierce, fearless and fertile! The crew that every young S.P.a.C.E woman would love to join. And the Stargazers! Who could forget! They singlehandedly saved the Revron Sector from imploding on itself when a rift was created! One of the best! WormHole and the Deep Space Cadets are famous exploration teams! They venture to the farthest reaches of space to explore and retrieve important information. How cool!

[Searching...retrieving…]

[ERROR: 404 Not Found. Please use terms only presented in the current situation.]


You suppose you cannot search terms outside of what your chip can currently see...which is a bit of a handicap. It’s still a handy device.

“Ahh! I love Avary Egg. It’s always well-cooked when the chefs make it.” Tava slid down beside you, waving to the Reptiran. “What are your plans for the day, Drass? I know a lot of people are going to go job hunting...but there have been rumors going around...of people already being promoted to captains! This early on! Can you believe it? They must be good enough to impress the general, at least…”

eh, the message you got earlier today did say you shouldn't go around telling people you made captain, plus you could come off as bragging if you do start going around telling people and no one likes a bragger. But eh still it's something to talk about, I have to say though why isn't there an officer school for S.P.a.C.E? I mean the military structure that I'm familiar with usually have have there officers/captains tried to be officers/captains right off the bat.

Continue to not spill beans about you becoming a captain. Tell a white lie and let her know you are going to check into that job request you received. Also ask if the people who became captain was anyone she or you knew.

You could say something like "Wow, whoever spilled the beans must be in trouble now."

I think if Drass said that, Tava may ask how he would know that spilling the beans will get those people in trouble, thus figuring out that Drass has become captain as well. Especially since Drass mentioned his job request told him not to talk about his promotion to captain, which would be bad.

You can also ask if she thinks they were told through messages, or if they won't find out until they report in. Give a chuckle, and follow that you hope you make the cut. Lack of mass emails and all.

[Feign surprise! Do not hint that you are a captain.]

Right. You try your best to act surprised, expanding your face to emulate shock. “Really?! Do you know who got promoted?” Tava lifted her head in thought, eyes shifting about along the ceiling. “Hmm...I’m not sure...I just know I saw new graduates boarding Moon Cruises...that apparently belonged to them! Only captains get their own ship...there’s no other way you can get one, at least not legally.” Hmm, does that mean you need to get your ship in secret? The message said nothing about other people finding out, just that you can’t publicly announce it. If you’re accidentally found out, then that’s not an announcement. You continue to eat alongside Tava, discussing mundane topics.

[Define “rift”...]
[Searching…]
[RIFT, tear in interdimensional fabric, causing blackhole, and in some cases, wormholes.]


Rifts are a big problem. They don’t happen very often, but when they do, they’re catastrophic. Ripping apart entire planets, even solar systems if they’re left to fester. The process of actually closing a rift is unknown to you, but several S.P.a.C.E squads have died trying.

[Define “mother”...]
[Retrieving memories…]
[Mother, birth-giver, parent, often feminine. Mother in reference to Drass…]
[Obra Liskin. Rank B Navigator. Belongs to Team Nova.]


Your Mother? Ahh yes, she was a S.P.a.C.E cadet in her younger days as well. She runs a hospital now...but back then, people knew and respected her. They still probably do, at least, the people that remember her.

[Define “VENUS”]
[Rank S, Exploration squad, members include: Sorena, Askala, and Niri.]

The silent Reptiran in front of you raised a hand, sheepishly smiling as a sort of apology. “Excuse me...but, are you planning on heading to the Mission Control desk after breakfast?” You nod. “I believe we all are planning on going there.” Was your reply. He pursed his lips together, looking a bit embarrassed. “Of course...well i-if...if you happen to find anything concerning someone named Elrin...pl-please show me, okay?” You direct your attention to him, turning your body. “Who’s that?” He droops his head in a sorrowful way, lips squirming, struggling to get words out. “She’s my sister...she has been missing for a while now…I know I’m not experienced enough to find her now, but perhaps I can find a crew to take it on for me.”

>>
No. 621981 ID: 6cb462

define Elrin,

Then, introduce yourself and ask the Reptiran the following questions:
1. What is his name
2. Ask if you could exchange contact information with him so that you can reach him once you find out anything about his sister.
3. Ask where was the last place anyone has seen her.
4. Ask if he had sent his concerns with the general, or any of the higher ups.

Afterwards, I think it is about time to see mission control, yeah?
