Mission: OOC Documents

Alright Good People, it's that time again when a new mission comes around and there's some planning to do! Below are some Deity Encounters I'd like to see and some Team-Ups I've got pre-planned for the course of this mission that i'd like to see. All in all, this mission is overtly a diplomatic mission with a lot of danger/horror thrown in for good measure. For the team-ups, please feel free to suggest others or edits. As for the Deity Encounters, a lot of deities are already spoken for either previously or later in the plot of the Hera so please clear it before adding it. Unfortunately, this includes almost all the Greek/Roman and Norse deities.

Ok! So! Two pieces of information I neglected to mention to anyone before now and that slipped my mind. One is that the creator of the worldship and leader of the locals is a literal Beholder called Log'yerm///. No, that's not a misspelling. The locals are 4-5 foot tall human looking people that resemble children... Or Santa's Elves... They wear panelled, colorful outfits with trim on them. Their sun collided with another sun and Log'yerm/// saved them from extinction billions of years ago and they're the ones summoning the deities. They can do this because the space-time near Log'yerm/// is really thin since he's a 9th dimensional entity. Living in an artificial worldship has stunted their evolution and most of the factions have decided to use this to try to kickstart their race's evolution again. While Enalia, Rita, and Sonak are out of contact meeting with Log'yerm///, it's up to the rest of the crew to not only keep the ship safe, but to get to the bottom of this. Once they get back, there will be another issue to face that even Log'yerm/// will need help with. One of the underworld factions are planning on summoning Asmodeus, a being so powerful that he could take Log'yerm///'s power for himself and start consuming the galactic core in chaos.

The worldship was created by Log'yerm/// to save the Elfin peoples from extinction as he passed through this plane. Their star collided with another and he made this worldship as a home for them billions of years ago, which stunted their evolution and advancement. He created it with his 9th dimensional powers by pulling energy from higher dimensions and creating matter. He then formed the barrier around it to shield them from outside forces. As the master of space and time in the local area, he sees spending an eternity with these people as more of a vacation and a learning experience for himself.

Several factions of the Elfin peoples are unhappy with things having not changed for billions of years, including their lack of evolution, so have recently begun summoning beings from higher planes using power that Log'yerm/// inherently leaves lying around because of his aura as a part of the worldship's energy systems. The first few experiments led to a few deities being summoned back into the galaxy far from them, but subsequent summons have improved and been far easier. Thus many deities and beings are now roaming the worldship - even imagined ones.

As for visitors, The USS Hera is one of the few that have made it past the barrier. Few guests have made it past the barrier and fewer still have convinced Log'yerm/// of their worthiness to leave afterwords - most intended to use what they learned for profit or advancement in some negative way. It is an extension of Log'yerm///'s real body and is thus more like a second skin to him while the worldship is akin to a living, breathing entity that he cares for inside of himself similar to a baby kangaroo in a pouch. While much of the worldship's exterior is composed of neutronium and clear duranium alloys, the interior is all perfectly natural carbon based life-cycle elements. The upper crust is all natural with simple towns and woodland with lakes, while the underground shows complex cities and warrens. The power systems seem to be a complex system of eight meter stones that emit temporal-etheric energies that barely register in the super-subspace bands.

One of the factions of Elfin peoples intend to summon a being they were told about by one of the others they summoned called Asmodeus, who happens to be Log'yerm///'s greatest enemy and has the power to consume his power here and destroy this worldship. They plan to secretly summon him in the hopes that they can force their own evolution and advancement by forcing Log'yerm/// into a fight, not knowing that Asmodeus is so much stronger than he is.

----------------
Az: And here we are! Thoughts? Comments? Complaints?

Sonak: fine by me.

Dox: I'm down with all the repelling. My initial thought at the idea of a LITERAL personification of Death got my mind going. Thinking of the Next Gen episode with the con artist pretending to be Ardra, the Devil.

I imagined an actual being that was kind of like Death for all beings, not "evil", just a part of the universe... drawn to the Hera after we took down a Goddess. Maybe we disrupted a cosmic balance.

Also, crewmembers dealing with the ramifications of dealing OUT death on the last mission was a big part of the aftermath, which makes me feel like there's a LOT to mine from Death. Just my brain farts.


Jurot: anyone want to play with me?

Az: Yeager was originally slotted there, but Shep had to bow out due to personal reasons so now the slot is open. Anyone you're interested in writing with? Any volunteers?

Dox: I'm down for any interactions. ;)

Paris: I will free safety for anyone who needs me on a post, come in and move things, whether it be Paris or writing something else. Character is my strong suit but if you need me whistle and I'll see what I can do.

Dael: Send me where needed. If we finish in time, I don't mind helping out the counselor deny Bast something. I can dual write too, just let me know roughly what would have been first.

Paris: Done, Doc. Okay, if you have like a one-shot encounter in a bar or something that you want to do,, feel free. Part of this mission is that it is some organize chaos with all of these gods around. So feel free to have some fun and be creative.

Jurot: I see Ra is unclaimed. As I am have a passion for Egyptology, I can double up.

Paris: Perfect, Counselor. We'll team you up or you can be a solo act as you like on that one. You have an idea?

Jurot: Ra was Sun God, creator of the world. He was born every morning, and died every evening- traversing the sky in his ship (whose name changed depending upon its position.) His enemy was the serpent Apep. In one story, Ra took the form of a cat, and killed Apep (which is why the Egyptians held cats as sacred.). My first thought was something to do with the ship, but that's not a counselor thing. I'll do some research to find an angle. Maybe his relationship with Isis.

Thex: Um quick question, but isn't Sha Ka Ree a planet and not an actual god?

Jurot: Thank you, Thex! I didn't want to be a nit-picker. Unless it was in the novelization, the Santa Claus spirit had no name

Az/Enalia: We can't just call it ///the malevolent energy being from ST:V/// so that's its name for now.

Kader: Action adventure investigations sounds fun.

Kirk (Jurot): What does God need with a Starship?

French: laughing my ass off!

Jurot: started the Ra bit

Jurot: Ok, I'm a bit confused. Where does Texas fall in the timeline? Before or after core penetration?

Pris: Fair point, Counselor. Texas is pre-penetration of the spatial anomaly. We are writing them at the same time so it surely is a bit confusing, and we do apologize for now spelling that out.

Jurot: Thank you!

Jurot: Interesting non-canon approach to entity from ST V:

I hate to say it, but if I'm honest and I am. I'm lost! - French

Paris: Okay French, no worries. How about shoot me a PM, ask a few questions and let's get you in the groove, right?

Az/Enalia: A bit more info added to the upper summary. Other than what's laid out there and what's been sent out in PM and already in posts, it's fair game. If there are any questions or if what I've added conflicts, please let me know.

Dael: OK, I'm confused. So what I'm reading is Rita, Sonak and Enalia are going down to the worldship. Do we know how we got back from New Texas? Any developments there? Also do we know what's going on the ship? I'm a bit confused how to proceed.....

Sorry, forgot to ask, who has command with Rita, Sonak and Enalia gone as well?

Az: New Texas was a stop on the way to investigate the symptoms of the issue. Since they away team took a runabout, I assume they took it back to the ship and last I checked, all the posts relating to that are posted. It was an information gathering and character development bit and now we're at the meat and potatoes of the mission. Also, Lt Cmdr Thex sh'Zoarhi is the Second Officer, which means she's in charge.

French : ok so like. I been swimming since 95/96. Right and I’ve seen a lot. But I have to admit. I ain’t never seen nothing like what we are doing here. You guys write so fast I can’t keep up. I’d spend my whole day off reading just to reply. I’m afraid this is a bit over my head. I do want to stick around. But with being at its busiest now until Xmas is over. I need to take astepback as I don’t want to let anyone down. I want to keep working on the world ship investigation. But I’m damned if I even know where to start with the chief of Security. You may want to demote me and give thatjob to someone who understands what you need and has the time. But that’s up to you guys. I’ll keep trying though.

Az: you'll be fine. ^_^ with the holidays and me being sick, things should be a bit slower so you don't need to worry about letting anyone down. Just write at your own pace and everyone else will write at theirs (with I think 2 people on vacation, 2 dealing with finals, etc...) and we can all meet in the middle. ^_^
