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.

Posted on Mon May 5th, 2025 @ 3:31pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar in General News

Well, another month in the books. April was a posting bonanza for virtually everyone, which made it hard to determine who was the most deserving of many awards. We had 6 players (not counting myself) that had at least 5 posts. and we had 5 players with at least 8 posts. I think we had a solid month in general, and I think based on the posting totals most people had a good time with the mission. As we move into a new month and a new mission, I hope everyone has an equally good time and has lots of…

Posted on Sat Apr 5th, 2025 @ 5:50pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar in General News

March was a great month for us. Everyone participated with at least three posts each, and we were really getting into the meat of things as we completed one mission and got into another. As we really start to get into this new mission, I feel like it will be full of some great writing as we delve into some darker material.

Below you will find the monthly awards. I wish to congratulate our winners as always. I also offer up best wishes as our winners move on to compete for the Fleet level awards.

Well, as usual, February came and went quickly. It was a nice, albeit a bit slow month for us. No solo posts (except one by me, which doesn't count), so no award there. We have done a lot with the mission, and it is moving toward its climax already. Looking forward to seeing how March goes. My warmest congratulations to all our award winners. Below are the awards.

Seth slowly walked into the counseling complex. He was here for his mandatory counseling session. The last away mission had been rough for the entire away team. Lt. Kono had been cut open and he and Phoenix had both been burned and electrocuted. He was even sure what had been done to Commander Grayson. he knew his wife Lt. Commander Callie Grayson had suffered some sort of mental assault but she had recovered and was cleared for duty.

Stepping up to the pretty blonde petty officer at the desk he announced. "Lt. Travis to see Lt. Cmdr. Raven-Grayson. I have…

Anyone looking at Commander Jonathan Grayson would never ne able to tell he was troubled. The bright smile, the encouraging word a joke here and there were all cover ups for his troubles. It had been building for a while. Jon felt terribly guilty over this last away mission. People he liked got hurt. Kate and been cut open for Christ's sake! Phoenix and Seth were both tortured burned and or electrocuted. Inara and Anaya were both tortured but the worst was Callie. Her mind had been invaded and in a desperate attempt to stop the invasion she had shut…

Mission: Cead Mile Failte
Posted on Tue May 13th, 2025 @ 5:13pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar & Commander Samantha Howard & Lieutenant Inara Senn & Lieutenant JG James Phoenix & Lieutenant JG Benjamin "Ben" Dalton

Shran entered the transporter room and found Deanna already waiting. "Good, I'm not the first to arrive. I trust you have given the coordinates to the chief."

"Ready when you are" the chief said.

Ben entered next and blew a sigh of relief that he wasn't the last one to report. He had his tricorder, clutched in his hand. "Captain, Commander." He greeted both dutifully.

Inara waited with her arms folded. Silently. Examining all involved.

Phoenix entered the transporter room with light haste. He wasn't rushing, but he felt like he needed to be in the room sooner rather than…

[Holodeck – Meadow Simulation]

The sunlight filtered softly through a blue sky. A gentle breeze stirred the tall flowers around them, brushing Inara’s hair across her cheek as she lay back beside Jasmine. A moment of peace in a galaxy with too few.

Jasmine glanced at her quietly for a while before speaking.

“Inara… what’s troubling you?” she asked, her voice low and careful.

Inara exhaled, her gaze unfocused on the artificial sky above.
“Some things... many things.”

She paused, then added bitterly,
“Sometimes I wonder if my crew really understands any of it. Other times, I think the only…

Shran had made his way down to sickbay to speak with Sam. The two were in her office while her staff tended to the two minor incidents that had brought in patients.

Shran was speaking with Sam, "Based on everything I have seen, they are definitely human, Irish decent. They have an even thicker accent than Lt O'Connor, if that is possible. They seem to live in a Medieval level of technology from what we've seen thus far, wearing handmade clothing, wool and linen from what I could tell, and they care short swords. In some respect it was like…

"Personal log Stardate 63889.3.

I don't know where to start. I was hesitant to even bring this up in a log, but Counselor Jortho gave me the recommendation to vent to myself more. She says rambling can help me talk myself into deeper matters. I've decided to take her up on that advice, so here I am.

She has cleared me for duty. Today was my first day back and things were rather mundane but I expected that given the first day back was supposed to be light. Counselor's orders.

Doctors Howard and Del Rio patched me up well and…

The Personal Journal of Inara Senn

So, I came here expecting to find an advanced civilization that constructed the Singularity core on the planet of the apesm and what I found? Stupidity... Utter and complete stupidity.

First we find the original sleeper ship that came here, and what did my captain do once Deanna confirmed the presence of augmented beings? They were destroyed without mercy, And when they should be taking responsibility, like any military. They point to the regs manual, and say it wasn't their fault.

Second, we beamed down to find even more examples of superior intellect. Nazi…

From: Lieutenant Inara Senn, Chief Science Officer, USS Washington
Subject: Special Training for Red Squad Cadet

To Whom It May Concern (and I sincerely hope someone, somewhere is actually concerned),

It is my duty (and a personal act of catharsis) to submit my official report on the latest Red Squad cadet assigned to my department. Before we proceed, let me make one thing abundantly clear: I am a scientist, not an Academy professor, not a glorified babysitter, and definitely not a miracle worker capable of teaching humility to the Red Squad breed of…

"Junior Tactical Officer's log Stardate 63831.7.

After an extensive investigatation in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, I have found nothing.

There is no sign of Captain Shran or Ashlynn Regan's mirror counterparts. I still need to confer with Commander Grayson and Lieutenant S'Niohun regarding their findings as I just returned to the Washington from leave, and my part of the investigation.

Honestly, I didn't have much hope that our Terran fugitives would be here in the first place given that with how many people are in this system, it would likely be too dangerous for them to lay…
