Welcome to the USS Washington-E!
Welcome to the USS Washington-E, a post-Dominion War sim. The year is 2386. The Dominion War has been over for several years, but its aftermath is still unfolding. The Federation and the Romulans are the only two major powers, and only the Federation is stable, to a point. The Klingon Empire is still rebuilding and addressing its many wounds from the war, Cardassia is in shambles and occupied, and the Romulans are in far worse shape because of their own misdeeds than they would have outsiders believe. The Federation is now the lone superpower in the Quadrant, a role it neither wants nor enjoys. Exploration has returned, but the dangers of space have never been more pronounced. Welcome to the USS Washington, where danger and adventure lurk around every corner.

August has come and gone, and it was a strange month. We had a good amount of posts, but it didn't seem like we did at times. It was somewhat of a lull month, and yet plenty of quality in the month. We saw a new player join us as another departed, and we completed one mission and started another. Below are the awards. I wish to congratulate the winners.

I was away for a couple weeks, but July was a crazy month for us as a group. It would seem that this mission has really inspired everyone. We had posts from the entire active crew, and some people were posting demons with all they did. I hope August is just as robust with creative energy. Below are the July awards. I congratulate our winners. Well-earned awards, and great work by everyone.

Mission: Wild Wild West
Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2025 @ 12:07pm by Lieutenant Aidan O'Connor & Commander Samantha Howard & Lieutenant JG James Phoenix
Aidan opened the hatch, a rush of the internal atmosphere hitting him in the face. It appeared that emergency lighting was active, providing a dimly lit area that he was now responsible for assessing. He pulled open his tricorder and began to take readings. "Looks safe to enter. This material seems to be the primary building material for this vessel. We aren't going to have reliable readings for more than a few meters. We are going to have to do this the old-fashioned way. At least until we can locate the internal sensors on this beast" he said to Ashlynn…

Posted on Tue Oct 14th, 2025 @ 11:20am by Lieutenant Commander Deanna Celes & Commander Jonathan Grayson & Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Chief Petty Officer Aaron Geiger
After looking around the church and graveyard, Deanna and Aaron made their way to the rendezvous with Jon and Kate. While they hadn't had the opportunity to speak with anyone, Deanna had gotten plenty of tricorder data that she wanted to take a closer look at. The church itself was out of place, at least to her and what she knew of this time period. Perhaps Jon and Kate might have information to share that shed some light on this locale. What she feared was they were going to end up in the saloon. She noted three different saloons on…

Mission: Wild Wild West
Posted on Sat Oct 11th, 2025 @ 11:34am by Lieutenant Commander Deanna Celes & Commander Jonathan Grayson & Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Chief Petty Officer Aaron Geiger
Deanna walked with Aaron down the dusty road towards the religious facility that was in view at the end of the road. The hustle and bustle of this town was just like what she had experienced in a holodeck, only more real. She could feel the emotions of all those around, sense their thoughts. If she wanted to do a deeper dive telepathically, she could and they'd be completely unaware. The one thing she sensed was apprehension, and she understood it. Those walking around viewed anyone unknown with suspicion and apprehension.
She glanced in the direction of Aaron, "You seem…

Posted on Wed Oct 8th, 2025 @ 10:56am by Lieutenant Aidan O'Connor & Commander Samantha Howard & Lieutenant JG James Phoenix
Doctor Samantha Howard returned to sickbay to gather supplies, slinging her larger medkit onto her back and strapping both a medical tricorder and phaser to her hip. Better to have and not need than need and not have. She expected no survivors but there were always the occasional times when the miracle of life endured beyond all comprehension. She double checked her equipment and hurried to the transporter room to meet the rest of her team.
Aidan made his way down to Engineering. He told the Chief to report to Cmdr Grayson immediately and then looked for Lt Kapowski. He…

The quartet materialized in a baggage car on the train, only half full of luggage for the various passengers. Once the transport was complete Deanna looked around quickly, and seeing no one, reached into her jacket and pulled out her tricorder. She scanned the area quickly before putting the tricorder away, "So far, so good. The train is only two miles from the Durango settlement. I suggest we indiscreetly make our way into one of the passenger cars and then exit the train as soon as it arrives at the station."
Kate, the youngest member of the away team, crouched…

Captain's Log
Supplemental
We have once again encountered the mythic Earth deities, this time the Celtic deities alone. We were studying a stellar core fragment when we discovered a planet in its path. As we approached the planet, we learned that it was inhabited, but more remarkably, the core fragment wasn't causing the planet any issues which was strange.
The planet was inhabited by humans. These humans were originally from Earth, Ireland specifically, and their ancestors had been brought to the planet by the Celtic gods roughly a millennia ago. Upon an away team beaming down which I joined, we…
