Just. A. Thousand. More. Words .....

Well, three are claimed. There are two other named members with short backgrounds who are free to use.

Oh goodness, yes. We need to make this milestone for sure. Beyond being swamped for school I now have other obligations >.> I will try not to have it be a distraction from the Navy. I started a Panthac post but it is currently left unfinished. I'll see about getting it done but no promises because this is the last full week of the semester.

Great post there from Trick, and it looks like you and I are taking real hits to our IC reputations in this story, huh my friend?

Also, welcome back Fishhead and welcome to the story!  Glad to have you back man!

My 25th post is now up, just giving my NPC villains something to do.  The showdown between them and my character is coming ever so close now...

One last thing: We have now crossed the 140,000 word mark.  Absolutely amazing work guys!

Oh don't worry I see Joamer being thrown into hack for assaulting a superior officer soon. Trykon has a punch coming and it's not going to be a love tap.

Not to poop on anyone's party, but ... isn't gambling illegal in the VEN? Come to mention it .. isn't fighting illegal in the VEN?

Buuut, if the high ups are supporting it then I suppose ....

/me starts chanting "Strill! Strill! Strill!", and waving the squadron banner

My bet's on Trick, all the way.

Alright. Thanks for the welcome Serpent. Glad to see some familiar faces. And such amazing writing... Still slowly getting back in the flow of things here. As such, any suggestions about my writing, I would gladly take. I know I'm going on a different track than most here, not to mention jumping in at the very end.

If it sounds good with you upper tier officers, I've been planning on fleshing out the medical sections aboard the Adjudicator, focusing mostly on developing the Chief Medical Officers. Not much of a contribution, but still think it's a cool idea to focus on the less emphasized ship areas...

I'd love to see your version of the detached narrator POV, Avalar!

And, Fishhead, by all means, feel free to experiment and flesh out crew sections on the ship.  Fleet Command is still relatively new, and the trailblazers we have had so far have mostly served as Bridge personnel... there's plenty of opportunity to develop other areas of the Adjudicator/jobs of the crew.  One thing that may be helpful: Fyston was pretty active during the last story (Counterpunch: War), and he was serving as a medic, as you'll be at first.  You may want to reread his posts and get an idea of what he was doing with the position, before you decide how you want to proceed.

Okay, folks.  I'm going to work up the returning-to-the-Sollamens post tomorrow; we're on the fast track to the finish, now!    Try to get whatever plot points that happen while Second Fleet is regrouping up in the next 24 hours!

Glad it was useful, and welcome to the story again! 

Another thing you may want to incorporate: an NPC of mine named Docker Gibbs is a somewhat undeveloped NPC doctor character that has been on every ship I've commanded so far.  He could be a good foil for your NPC.

Meh.  He's essentially Doctor McCoy from the original series of Star Trek, in my mind.  Lol.  You have a lot of leeway in developing him further, in other words.  He should be ranked up significantly from wherever his wiki page has him... I haven't been minding my NPC pages as closely as I should. 

Just a short little thing whilst I write something else for both Panthac and Defiance. Also a nice setting the scene for another post that's coming later, once I've got the proper info of the proper people.

Well, Tryk did say right at the beginning that if we could split it into more than one post, then we should. We do want to beat the record, right?

And is there a commemorative reward or something? I mean, the sheer honour of being a part of the most written campaign is amazing, but a cash reward never goes amiss ....

We will break the record. Have faith. Push forward men and women of the Navy. Let's break new ground!

Just take it easy over the next few days, Trick. Food poisoning's pretty bad.

Anyway.. Just finished another CMO NPC post. Planning to get two more posts up in the next few days. Wanting to put some political tensions in medical operations.

Ugh.  No problem with holding back on posting for a bit...

Food-borne illness is not cool.

Great posts, all.

Everybody, please welcome back a returning vet to these final stages of the Counterpunch arc... Ensign Romanflame!  Romanflame, you have your orders.  We'll see you in-story ASAP.
