In reply to Starfleet Command (msg # 23):

Did we automatically go to red alert when we were hit? just curious.

And if so, does Red Alert summon my staff to sick bay? Or should I do that myself, in preparation for casualties?

I’ll post soon

You were last at Yellow alert, and nobody's called for Red Alert (yet).  You weren't hit, ya'll were tossed from emergency evasive maneuvers.  In other words, you were missed - this time!

I'm alive, but all this smoke in the air is killing my asthma.  I come home from work and just collapse.

Going to try to update my games tonight/tomorrow.  Thanks for the patience.

Ugh, so sorry to hear!  :(

I hope you're managing....

I hope everything is okay.  Long silences make me nervous.

Air finally got so bad that I can't go to work.  Home camped out with air purifiers on full blast.

The good news is, now I can finally post.  Update today.  Sorry for the wait!

Glad you're doing well and get a little time away from that air!

Seconded!  :D

With a heavy heart, I'm resigning all my character(s). I'm fighting cancer (good odds). If it's convenient, I'd like to keep this game on my list. It may be that I'll have the energy to check in, hopefully apply for something, in mid-December. Feel free to have my character(s) taken over. For those who wish me well, thank you. I'll not be checking in on this game. Thank you to all who have interacted with me for so long.

Ouch!
Wish you all the best, hope you make a full recovery

Fucking cancer.    My friend, my very best wishes in your fight.
We’ll be happy to hear from you any time you drop in.

In reply to LT Tsolo Kloshe Saghalie (msg # 33):

I'm very sorry. I'm glad the odds are on your side and I wish you the very best of luck. Take care.

I’m so sorry!  Glad to the odds are good, but will send positive thoughts!

I'm so sorry to hear. I've had some (less serious) health struggles and I totally wish you the best.  You're more than welcome to return at any point you're ready!

Sorry I'm overdue for an update.  Learned the Bajoran Engineer from my tabletop game in the Before Times (tm) passed away unexpectedly at the age of 39, leaving behind two middle-school kids.  I saw him a couple months ago at the game store...

TENNAN REIL may have never met a shuttle he wasn't ready to cannibalize to save the ship, but I'll miss his player, Dan.  He was a friend.

Respects, and Salutations.

Condolences to his family. That is very young indeed.

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost a friend! Sending my love

That's terrible!  My condolences!

I hope his family has some support.

Ain't gonna lie, been a rough week or so.  On top of a rough year.

I'll brace up and get some posts done tomorrow.  Thanks for hanging in there with me gang.

OOC, I really think it would be wise to send the shuttle thru, and stay outside to Oort cloud with the ship, but it is obviously the Captain's call. If we could send the shuttle thru without the hive ship knowing we it it, bonus.

In reply to DR Ranse Layne (msg # 45):

The issue being it's still a long trip for a shuttle (close to a day, maybe). Also, the shuttle is pretty fragile if there are surprises inside the cloud.

OTOH, Independence has a LOT of shuttles.

I am still of the opinion that the alien ship is defending someone, I would hate first contact to blow up if there is any other option. It is certainly a sticky wicket.

Agreed.

OTOH, if it was easy they wouldn't have sent the best ship and crew in the Fleet!
