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.

It amazes me that we are already into February. Those of us in the US spent the back end of January likely buried in snow and ice as winter weather pushed in on the extreme. On the bright side of that, it definitely allowed for people to write, and everyone seemingly was happy to do so in January. We had 6 writers that had at least 5 posts in January, and everyone had at least 2 posts if they were active in January. It gave me plenty of material to review and made deciding on the awards tough. Everyone in…

The holidays have come and gone, and we are into a new year. December is always a slower month for obvious reasons, but even still, we had a good number of posts by most. Hopefully everyone had a good holiday season. Below you will find the December Awards. Congrats to the winners, and good luck representing us at the fleet level.

November has come and gone, and as is normal with the holiday season starting, it slowed up our posting. I totally understand why things slowed though. As we enter December and the heart of the holidays, I know we all will spend more time with family, but I hope you will all have some fun writing here as well. Below you will find the November Awards. I congratulate our winners and wish them luck as they represent the ship at the fleet level.

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Mon Feb 16th, 2026 @ 12:30pm by Lieutenant JG Kate Kono
Kate's muscles ached with longing to return to her quarters where Ben and Kodie waited, but duty had other plans. Instead, she found herself crouched beside Na'Riss in the shuttle bay, on the exterior hull of the Bahamut, surrounded by dismantled deck plating that glinted dully in under the harsh overhead lighting. The young Vulcan Ensign's slender fingers manipulated her tricorder with practiced precision, scanning methodically for physical anomalies that might explain the Runabout's mysterious power failure.
"Nice to see you in uniform instead of almost naked, Ensign," Kate remarked with a wry smile, attempting to thaw the professional chill…

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Sun Feb 15th, 2026 @ 10:55pm by Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Ensign Aidan "A.J." Reid & Ensign Kevin Mitchell
The corridor to the runabout dock glimmered with a fresh polish, a faint antiseptic tang threading the recycled air. Lieutenant J.G., Kate Kono led the column, her shoulders squared and hair pulled into a bun, high and tight. The curved bulkhead amplified her voice as she called back, “Mitchell, if you miss our launch window I will personally recommend report duty until the heat death of the universe.”
Ensign Jessica Cockburn and Ensign Christian Smiter struggled to keep up, their standard-issue Type-3 phaser rifles bouncing awkwardly against their backs with each hurried stride. Cockburn's auburn ponytail swung wildly as she…

Kate and AJ tumbled onto the bridge like two kids late for class, nearly colliding with a console before Kate spotted the button to the Captain's Ready Room.
"What if he's, like, not ready?" she whispered.
"It de Ready Room," AJ said, rolling his eyes. "De man literally got a room for bein' ready."
"So he's contractually obligated to be ready in there?" Kate's eyebrows shot up.
"Jus' mash de button, woman!" AJ flailed his arms wildly at the panel beside Shran's door, pantomiming an exaggerated button-pressing motion that made a passing ensign snort with laughter.

Kate keyed in her access code and the door to her quarters slid open with a pneumatic hiss. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss. But as she stepped across the threshold, the hairs on the back of her neck prickled. The mahogany coffee table sat two centimeters too far from the sofa. Her antique brass lamp tilted at an unfamiliar angle. The Andorian crystal figurine faced east instead of north. Every object had been meticulously returned—but not quite right. Kate maintained a casual demeanor, humming softly while her fingers closed around the cold metal of the Type-One Phaser concealed in…

Mission: Not All Orders Are Easy
Posted on Wed Feb 11th, 2026 @ 5:05pm by Captain Shran dh'Klar & Lieutenant Commander Shoniara T’ghann-Travis MD & Lieutenant Inara Senn & Lieutenant Ashlynn Regan
With the away team on the planet, Shran had the Inara and all the science personnel studying the planet regarding the radiation while also studying the radiation coming from the asteroid belt. The Andorian made his way to the rear of the bridge where Inara was at Science station 1 discussing things with Lt Regan.
"What can you tell me about the radiation beyond what we already know? That EM radiation field is close to the beam down coordinates. Is it the only radiation issue, or did meteor impacts create any sort of additional radiation issues?"
Inara tapped her tricorder…

Personal Log, Ensign Janelle Barett
I was selected for my first away mission today.
I knew it was coming, statistically at least. New ensign, operations background, limited planetside exposure. Eventually the numbers align. Still, when my name was spoken on the bridge, it felt unreal in a way training simulations never manage.
I do not think I smiled. I do not think I said anything unnecessary. I acknowledged the order, confirmed readiness, and did exactly what I have practiced doing for years.
Then I went to my quarters and stood there for a full minute doing absolutely nothing.
There is…

Personal log, Ensign Janelle Barett.
When I think back on my first night aboard the Washington, what stays with me is not the size of my quarters or the hum of the ship’s systems.
It is how quiet everything felt once the door closed.
The room was larger than my Academy quarters. Quieter, too. No voices through thin walls, no shared routines, only the steady, impersonal thrum of the ship, constant and unjudging. At the time, I told myself it was calming.
I remember standing there longer than necessary, posture still perfect, hands at my sides, as if waiting for…

Computer, start recording:-
I have now been on board for several days, still I have not seen nor reported to the Sinkahue or Grayson. My mind is much conflicted with these new orders from my High Command, just how they expect me to continue with my duties while remaining apart from all Federation personnel is something I at this time fail to see as possible.
It is almost as if they want this collaboration to collapse into failure, maybe the section of our Council which is pushing for us to end all contact with the Federation has finally turned the…

Captain's Log
After several weeks and a few interesting encounters, we have returned to Federation space. I managed to convince StarFleet to give us a few days at Risa. Of course, StarFleet didn't just grant us a simple leave. They tasked us with providing the normal maintenance work to the weather control grid on Risa, which my engineers are now working on. Lt O'Connor has voiced a complaint that StarFleet needs to base an engineering team here fulltime to better maintain the grid, which he indicates has been severely neglected.
The first round of transports down to the planet have…
