Post of the Month--October 2012

Please congratulate Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Adolph Klein for writing October's Post of the Month! A well written and "very detailed post that sets the scene for our Halloween Special mission."

Captain's Log:

Stardate 66666.6

USS Dante, Adolph Klein commanding

We are on an exploratory mission in Beta Quadrant cataloging and mapping various planetary systems. Though it's been a long, tedious mission, I am proud to say that ship and crew have performed well. We are on course to system Hydra Epsilon 11, time of arrival expected to be early tomorrow morning during the night shift. Probes have indicated possible signs of life in the system and I am looking forward to us being the first Federation vessel to explore the system.

[Bridge, 1800 hours]

Having finished his customary daily log entry, Captain Adolph Klein exited his ready room and surveyed the bridge. The night shift would be taking over soon and already the levels of activity seemed to be subdued. Klein smiled softly as he made his way to the captain's chair, sitting down. The science and operations departments had been working overtime with all the sensor data they had collected in the past month. They already had enough new information to keep Starfleet Command happy for months as they digested it all.

The medical department had the chance to collect several new samples on a previous away mission, but there had been precious little for the engineering and security departments to do. The ship was working perfectly and the [i]Dante[/i] seemed to be the only vessel in the region at present.

"All stations, report." Klein called the customary command.

As he waited for the various departments to report what they were doing, in a fairly routine day as they were en route, he leaned over towards the Vulcan counselor sitting next to him.

"Counselor Kirok, how's crew morale?" Klein inquired, "I'm hoping we won't lose our edge and get complacent as routine as our assignments have been of late."

Halloween... Almost Here

Ladies and gents, the spookiest day of the year is almost here. Not sure what to do on Wednesday? Here are some ideas:

• Read and/or post in Shadow Fleet's current special mission, "Supernatural," a mission that's sure to send shivers down your spine.
• Go trick or treat. Or pass out candy. Are you going to be decked out in a super cool Trek themed costume? We want to see them! Share your pics with us and we'll feature them all day October 31st.
• Watch a creepy Star Trek episode like "Empok Nor," "Schisms," or "Wolf in the Fold" Go here for the list of top ten scariest Star Trek episodes.
• Carve a pumpkin with a cool Star Trek design.
• Whatever makes you happy (that's a good idea too).

It's the graveyard shift on the USS Dante. Having left starbase on its next mission of exploration, it's not long before a strange influence begins to take hold of the ship's systems. Shields fail, sensors go offline and the life support systems begin to fluctuate. As the senior staff jumps into action, it quickly becomes apparent that this new influence is in fact alive...and wants nothing less than to possess each and every person on the entire ship.

New Academy Instructors!

We are delighted to announce that Shadow Fleet Academy has taken on two new instructors as a result of the latest recruitment drive.

Both of these officers have shown considerable dedication to Shadow Fleet during their times here and are sure to make an excellent addition to the ever-increasing staff pool at Shadow Fleet Academy.

Please congratulate both officers on the success of their applications and if you weren't so lucky this time, keep your eyes open for further recruiting periods in the near future.

Halloween Special Mission-- The Votes Are In!!!

 
In late September, we asked you to conjure up some spooky ideas for our upcoming special mission later this month. Your ideas were given, your voice was heard, and you voted on which you thought was the most sinister. Well, ladies and gents, the votes are now in!

In descending order, the top three winning ideas as voted for by the Shadow Fleet community were Possessed By Demons (27%), Horizon Station (18%) and View Into Hell (14%).

Thanks go out to all those who put forward ideas with particular congratulations for Alyssa Meadows whose idea, Possessed By Demons, will be used for our next Special Mission.
