As it says, this thread is for the discussion of all OOC things and for the clarification of IC things that might be necessary for the duration of this iteration of Wintreath Space Expeditions!! :D

There may be something here eventually if I decide I should include information crucial to the cause here.

So I am at a loss as to how to introduce my character. Do I just go talk to the captain?Have a go at it! Talk about leaving Wintreath/getting aboard, etc. And sure, if you'd like, run into the captain! :P

I'm but a humble service robot. Why would I need to talk to Security?I apologize, I was under the impression that your role was security, I apologize. If you were you would have needed to notify your commanding officer (or chief in this case) that you were present and understood your assigned post.
And dont worry.

Also, PAAR-85 is the single unit designation, as in he is the 85th PAAR, not the series number.
@BraveSirRobin, would the captain be on the bridge now?

Also, I'm a bit uncomfortable with Cinciri saying Yaim Rusur helped the United Gralend Corporation. That's the backstory of my character. While I admit that it makes sense I am uncomfortable with additions to my backstory without so much as consulting me first. Not mad, I'm just a bit uncomfortable with that prospect.I wasn't referring to the character you were playing or that project in general. I simply meant perhaps the first prototypes. and I mean like just combat data, not meaning they definitely used such information, but rather as suggestions for them to make their own. I was not implying anything about your character in specific. If you would like me to retract that statement I will immediately however, and I apologize if I overstepped

Considering that the ship's library computer is partially sentient, I'd assume it's at least a possibility.

You killed off the entire previous cast? You monsters. (https://media.giphy.com/media/12BVra7wmax12E/giphy.gif)
Anyway, I think I might RP as a slightly Rick Sanchez-inspired character, perhaps with a hint of Mordin Solus.

Robin and I have already discussed several scenarios, so we(well Robin) mostly have an idea of what will happen.We never got an exact date after the first RP, but I always thought that it'd be about 5-15 years after the first. Depends on how long everyone thinks it might take to build another ship. Then again, this new one has been established as pretty hastily constructed, so I think the 5-8 year range is probably most believable, but again, I'm open to suggestions!

But in the interest of getting things to move forward, I will indulge this, since the prospect of an alliance between the two biggest scumbags on the ship does appeal to me. It also sort of acts as a fucked up mirror of the relationship I hoped would develop between Hendrik and HKR in TOS.
EDIT: I see I misread. It would be interesting to see what info the UGC has on Malan, and how they acquired it, but I am intrigued.

Also, @ShadowX4life , as Tactical Officer (or is it Chief Tactical Officer?) are you in charge of ship weapons and shields, or is that the Security Chief's responsibility, @Cinciri ?
For the rest, are these the general departments, @BraveSirRobin ? Sorry, just trying to understand the command structure.

As a tactical officer I would assess the mission, battlefield, situation, or intelligence presented to me, so I assemble a strategy, tell my soldiers what should be carried, and continue to work around an evolving situation. The chief security officer, I think, is in charge of the safety of the ship. I’m more focused on danger soldiers will face outside the ship, whether be it in space or on celestial bodies. I would prefer chief tactical officer
Thank you for asking. :)

@Commander_Zemas , what exactly does a Robotics Artificer do, and who do you report to?
A robot artificer's role is to manage, invent, build and maintain/repair robots/droids/AI. Aurelius basically manages any AI existing on the ship and maintains/repairs any droids that we have in service. And if necessary, Aurelius will build new robots/droids to aid us, whether it be combat or for the wellbeing of the ship.
As for what Aurelius reports to? Well, let's just say Aurelius likes to report to himself.

Tactical Officer would be control of ship weapons systems and personnel, whereas the Security Chief and the Security Officer control the two shipboard security departments, one naval and one under military command. I'm not sure which one wants which role though, so I left that deliberately ambiguous.I was assuming Security Chief is in charge of the actual security forces on board, since Kal Vau has more combat training than actual engineering experience, think of it like him having a Major in history and a minor in ballistics engineering. So I was assuming the officer would be more in control of the actual ships weapons.

Tactical is ship systems. One of the security officers commands soldiers under Spacefleet command and the other under Wintreath Military Command.Tactical Officer would be control of ship weapons systems and personnel, whereas the Security Chief and the Security Officer control the two shipboard security departments, one naval and one under military command.

Can someone give me a directive? One that is prime, preferably.Go for what you would like. It's essentially an open world and anything you do can be worked into things. You could talk to people about your engineering projects, do a collaborative thing with others, etc. The world is your oyster! :P
Most of the non-military and non-essential (ie life support, basic food production) isn't complete because of a rushed completion, so you can repair/improve/build from scratch anything, really. Even recreational stuff (holodeck? Fun zero-gravity recreation battle room?) You can go anywhere you'd like with this stuff! :)
