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.

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…

It always seems to come around quickly, and so it is that another month has passed into the history books. May was another good month as a whole, with lots of posting, the end of one mission, the start of another, and at the end of the month, the welcoming of two new players. As we move into the summer, historically the best time for simming, things look like they are moving full speed ahead for the crew of the Washington.
Below you will find the monthly awards. I wish to congratulate all our winners. It was a great month,…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Wed Jul 9th, 2025 @ 11:03am by Captain Shran dh'Klar & Lieutenant JG Kate Kono & Lieutenant JG Benjamin "Ben" Dalton
As the power went down and the red alert klaxons sounded, Eislyn went to her desk and grabbed her phaser. She wasn't sure what was going on at the moment, but hoped everything was under control. She was supposed to meet with Kate and Ben for a follow up but was uncertain if things would change now that people were scurrying about the ship.
Kate limped into the office with a phaser strapped around her shoulder and she was soaking wet with her comm badge missing.
"Sorry I'm late," Kate said. As she walked closer to Eislyn, it was clear…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Mon Jul 7th, 2025 @ 5:59pm by Lieutenant JG Kate Kono
It was early morning and the ship’s hallways yawned with a new kind of loneliness, the kind that starships reserved for the tired and over-caffeinated. Lieutenant Junior Grade Kate Kono, half a head shorter than most of her crewmates, she had a walk—regulations said one thing, but she had her own—where her boots barely seemed to touch the polymer flooring. There was a skip in her gait, if you looked close enough, like she’d already gotten the morning’s good news and was itching to spread it.
Trailing a half step behind, Ensign Jane Looper carried herself with the practiced stoicism…

Mission: Wounds From the Mirror
Posted on Mon Jul 7th, 2025 @ 2:01pm by Lieutenant Commander Callie Raven-Grayson & Commander Jonathan Grayson
Walking into her office Callie went about her usual morning routine, at least she did until she noticed someone sitting quietly in one corner. “Hello?”
She approached slowly before her eyes fell on who it was, she gasped backing away, reaching to touch her comm badge to call for security before someone behind her grabbed her hand.
"Now, now, no need for that ... Callie. We don't need to call security." Mirror Jon said pleasantly. "Just going to have a little chat.”
Callie turned to look at the mirror version of her husband. “Just a chat? Why would you need…

Emerging from the steam filled bathroom Callie rubbing her hair dry with a towel Callie smiled as she looked towards the man who’d become the love of her life. Both of them were born and bred Betazoids, Callie the result of a Terran inspired breeding program to try and increase the abilities of the telepaths they had. She was a full blood Betazoid, her abilities inherited from full blood parents, she was bred to be loyal.
“I think that was the most refreshing shower I’ve had lately” She walked over giving Jon a romantic kiss. “It could have been ohh…

Posted on Mon Jul 7th, 2025 @ 10:41am by Captain Shran dh'Klar & Lieutenant Commander Shoniara T’ghann-Travis MD
Sickbay was dealing with a handful of easy routine matters at the moment. Sam had been called to the bridge, leaving Shon in charge, not that she had a lot to do at the moment as the junior medical staff was handling things. Dr. Perrim and Dr. Del Rio had left at the end of their duty shift, leaving Tarja as the only other doctor currently on duty. She was working with Amethyst on Lt Antoinette who had come in complaining about an injury she sustained on the holodeck.
Tarja scanned LeFaye with her tricorder and noted the injury. "I…

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…
