Manifest Spring Clean
Hi Everyone
I'm going to prune the manifest this weekend, and try and reassemble it in a single page that makes it easy for people to see what positions are open so we can start recruiting. I've identified some NPCs that I think can be deleted.
If there is anyone…

All Good Things
When I applied to DS5 on 3rd March 2008 it seemed like the perfect home for my Romulan who had been stagnating for two years on a defunct Starbase elsewhere.
After a few months Mark offered my the post of XO - I declined then as I had no interest…

Hi all,
I have posted the concluding post of the mission 'Eye of the Beholder'. I'll leave this mission open until Friday so you can post any posts that cover the 'hallucination' period.

Upcoming Plot Points
Hey all,
We're deep into MD02 now - we don't quite know how time is flowing - its erratic but as we haven't yet uncovered the Fae we don't know why, if we've even noticed it at all.
