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.

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.

The first half of the year ended with us wrapping one mission and starting a new one, and it seems that everyone has taken to the new mission and writing is prolific again. While July is a special month for the ship and the fleet as a whole, we can't ignore what happened in June. I thank everyone for great work and look forward to seeing what else we'll see happen in this mission that everyone seems to be getting in on. Below are the awards for June. As always, congrats to all our winners, and good luck as you…

Mission: Holding Pattern Hijinks
Posted on Sun Sep 14th, 2025 @ 6:35pm by Lieutenant Commander Deanna Celes & Lieutenant Sakonna & Lieutenant Viviana Del Rio
Lt Sakonna had only been aboard the ship for a day now. She had met with her senior officer, Dr. Samantha Howard and learned in that conversation that things went beyond standard procedure aboard this ship, something she was adaptable to learning about. And so it was on her first duty shift, running sickbay with Dr. Del Rio as her overseer that she had to treat her first patient.
Deanna had called in ahead of time to prepare medical for the patient. It was actually more than one in reality, but Viviana was looking forward to it. She knew Samantha…

Ben sighed deeply. As he looked at Viviana and then to the long table before him. "You want me to do what?" He asked her.
"Lie down on the table, arch your hips off the table so your bottom gets off the table as well. Give me two sets of thirty." Viviana replied with a smile.
Ben nodded and began to do what Viviana wanted. He didn't see the point of this exercise, but he would do it as she wanted to walk and if this helped him to achieve his goal he was all for it.

Mission: Holding Pattern Hijinks
Posted on Tue Sep 9th, 2025 @ 12:14pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar & Commander Samantha Howard & Lieutenant Sakonna
It was quiet in sickbay. With the ship in a holding position waiting for the supply ship Kobayashi, the crew was doing their best to unwind, still recovering from the latest encounter with the Mirrors. Sakonna made her way down the corridor as she exited the turbolift. She had no need to get settled in and was making her way to sickbay where she told her direct superior could be found.
Sakonna had taken the time on the trip to the Washington to learn about the medical staff. The Chief Medical Officer was a human, and she was everything you…

Posted on Mon Sep 8th, 2025 @ 6:23pm by Lieutenant Commander Deanna Celes & Commander Jonathan Grayson & Lieutenant Ashlynn Regan & Lieutenant Phlox Ph.D. & Lieutenant Sakonna & Lieutenant Ilia Mooi & Ensign Traci Kuzma
Ensign Traci Kuzma sat at the controls of the runabout and guided the ship to its destination, the USS Washington. A few months ago, she had the opportunity to serve on the Washington in her final short training cruise. She could've gone to any ship on her first assignment, but she wanted the Washington. Something about the ship called to her, and she considered it home already, even though they hadn't arrived. She wasn't alone on this journey; she had a bevy of lieutenants aboard the runabout with her, and they all seemed to be in the sciences, except for…

Posted on Mon Sep 8th, 2025 @ 12:43pm by Lieutenant Commander Callie Raven-Grayson & Lieutenant JG Benjamin "Ben" Dalton
Ben sat in his wheelchair outside Counselor Raven- Grayson's office and his doubts returned. He had told the yeoman about his appointment and now waited to be seen. He was sure the counselor had her own personal issues to deal with from the last mission and he didn't want to add his problem to hers. maybe he should just leave before it was too late to do so.
Callie was aware of someone outside in the waiting area, her empathic senses came in handy that way. Walking over to thr door she looked out seeing someone there. “Hello, please come…

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…

Having arrived at my new home abord the USS Washington, I find it to be both different and yet the same as my time spent on Rock at the Academy.
My first few moments here were met with the same comments as my first few moments on Rock. Though at that time there were four other of my fellows with me as we began our new life in the Academy Consortium. And the universal translators given us by the humans did not successfully translate the negativity of the words the humans had for us. Now, after we have had time…
