Summary:
2391.05.28:
Still trying to find their way out of the derelict ship, the three away teams' efforts were hampered by various hallucinations and by formerly-living members of their own teams. Dead security officers tried to kill the rest of the away teams, too, which would lead to them becoming zombies as well. While team two was hopelessly lost and team one was still unaware of the other teams' attempts to locate and rescue them, team three seemed to have made some progress: they had found the Bridge of this ship. Unfortunately, a member of their team died and turned into a zombie, bent on killing his former colleagues. Team three had no choice but to run for their lives.
Meanwhile, the first team, after having narrowly escaped a number of such zombies, had discovered an energy signal that belonged to what appeared to be a transporter. Although it was a good bet that this was a trap, they couldn't just stay where they were. On their way to the transporter, they encountered an active console -- something that seemed impossible on a ship previously thought to be without power. One of their subsequent less pleasant discoveries was that of a nearly-decayed body in an access tube. The alien seemed to have committed suicide; possibly to avoid being turned into a zombie by whatever life forms there were on this ship. And there were life forms, the team discovered. Although the tricorders didn't register them, the telepathic Lieutenant Jomorr sensed that there were life forms everywhere around them.
While the first and second teams failed to get off the ship, the third team had opted for a more radical approach: shooting the bulkheads proved highly effective to get off the ship, for Lieutenant Singh was inadvertently blown into space. He used the thrusters of his environmental suit to gain access to one of the docked shuttles, and went back to retrieve the rest of his team. The other members of his team used the same tactic and floated into space not long after Singh had informed them that their rescue vehicle was standing by. All of the remaining members of team three were eventually picked up, along with the zombie that had once been part of their team. In a desperate attempt to save his team-mates from the murderous zombie, doctor Thomas pushed both him and the zombie out into space.
On the Atlantis, it proved impossible to establish contact with the shuttle. Captain Torn decided to arrange a meeting with the few members of the senior staff they had left on the ship, to discuss their options -- if there were any.
2391.08.26:
At 1313 hours, a priority message from Admiral Barclay reached the monitor of Captain Torn. The news it brought with it was amazing, and a great honour: the USS Atlantis, together with five other ships and one station, had been chosen to become part of Starfleet's first transwarp fleet. To this end, the Atlantis would be refitted with a transwarp drive. By way of a shipwide message, Torn delivered this news to the rest of the crew. A new era of exploration was about to begin.

Notes: I have not counted revisions or double posts, for obvious reasons. Also, players are reminded of the minimum posting frequency of once a week (if you're not on an announced LOA).

There were several players with a LOA this month (including me), but most returned from their LOAs, which resulted in an increase of the number of posts. Good job, everyone. Now, let's post more in August! |
