Star Trek: Starbase 777 - status-updates

@Event Ping hey everyone! this is a bit of a different event, meaning it will be entirely taking place on our own USS Eventide! which means you will mostly only be in one location the whole time! remember that when it comes to the consoles on the bridge [communications ops_delta

, tactical tac_delta

, science

, etc] the highest ranking officer will take them. and senior staff outranks everybody, regardless, so! here's your starting locations: science - #etd-science-labs medical - #etd-sickbay operations + engineering - #etd-engineering tactical + security - #etd-shuttlebay intelligence - wherever their skill set is best suited (edited)

i hope you all have fun :3

15:07

@Event Ping oh, also, more importantly https://discord.com/channels/904790578041081927/905419604401221692/1371842568559530004 please see the announcement before participating, it's very important you know what you're getting into

gonna give everybody about another hour to settle in before i start rocking the boat

uh oh!

17:07

@Event Ping let the games begin :D

ok gang everybody stop typin for just a second while i advance the plot

17:40

pls and thanks

@Event Ping let's do it again! once more, with feeling !!

18:00

For those just dropping by, the Eventide was impacted by a weird distortion while on their way to a mission. From the disruption erupted a Prometheus-class ship, which hailed the Eventide and warned them that they couldn't stop. Both ships collided, leaving all presumably dead— until they weren't. Time itself has warped, looped, even, leaving you back where you began with no memories besides an itching sense of deja vu. What will you do now? (edited)

18:02

also, fun mari facts, a time loop is my favorite narrative device/trope. :D everyone thank little nightmares and in stars and time for that one (edited)

hey react to this message with

if i can give your character timey wimey brain fuckery later

your accidental murderer has been revealed! the ship is called the USS Enyalios, and has gotten in touch with eventide thanks to jena putting out a hail frequency :3

@Event Ping WE ARE IN RED ALERT

let's find a way to free ourselves from this anomaly, maybe??!?

hey guys you can do things btw. like trying to figure out how to get rid of the distortion perhaps

ok gang im gonna do one more narrator post and then we're pausing for the night!

21:32

expect me in some of your dms very soon

21:33

@Event Ping thanks for participating in day one blushcat

see you tomorrow?

@Event Ping alright, so; i have granted SOME people (not everyone, it was based on a dice roll) the ability to recall the past loops. these people i have dmed and let them know! :> let's get this party starteddd

ok guys im tapping out for a sec cause i gotta eat, u guys discuss amongst yourselves and don't die

okey dokey here's the haps the entire ship is now aware that you're in a time loop, and will remain that way if we have to loop again (edited)

17:20

- the bridge is planning on using the reverse tractor beam again - science is investigating the temporal causality loop - engineering is discussing a way to possibly shield against another impact - everybody else .. who knows, we'll see!

17:21

oh, and the enyalios is on its way :)

we're in the finale ! we've figured out a few different ways to possibly disperse the tachyon particles and end the loop. so, regardless of whether or not this attempt succeeds, we'll have one chance to make sure everything goes perfectly according to plan

18:57

@Event Ping talk to your divisions, make sure everyone's ready to go. let's do this thing

@Event Ping poke

LMAO. oops

@Event Ping hi! you did it! sorry if this ended up being dragged out, i know we could've finished last night, but if you'll allow me to get a bit sappy for a second this was something very important to me because it's one of my favorite tropes in the whole world, so i wanted to share it with all of you! and i got sad at the idea of months of work being condensed into just one night haha i know im not a perfect writer, and not everything ended up going according to plan (sorry tactical and security, i wish you guys had more to do) but i hope you guys still had fun. im writing up a small epilogue now, and the channels will stay open today to let you guys chat with the crew of the enyalios if you'd like. thanks for playing with me :) (edited)

alright, so: - as per usual, there will be a small time skip after this event. all injuries healed all that good stuff, so don't go whining to medical that you broke something because you did Not /lh - bc this was a traumatic event, mandatory mental health leave for everybody before they're deemed fit for duty by a counselor, isn't that fun - and, now that the loop has been broken... some of you can have ALL of your memories from EVERY loop instead of just the last one. it is up to the players discretion to decide who does and doesn't remember :D

also if you wanna wander around the ship feel free. a message has been sent that the diplomatic envoy will be down one ship cause eventide went through it
