OFF: Hello.  This is Captain James Tombsly.  I finally got finished reading through all the posts, as Admiral Sarah Parker herself ordered, and believe I'm ready to assume command.  I would like everyone serving on this ship aside from myself and Admiral Parker to within the next week write a post in the forum Roll Call.  This is so that I know who serves under me and what department they work in.  If after a week anyone has not signed it aside from myself and Admiral Parker, they will be removed from this ship.  Consider this my first order of business.  I may not be exactly like your old COs, but I'm sure we have some things in common.  Also, please note that this is just as much a new experience for me as it is for you, so tell me if there's anything that you feel could or should be changed to make the game more fun, interesting, or anything else.  My first In Character post will be made on Monday.  Until then, have fun.  I also am not familiar with most of you, so if there's anything I can do to make this better for any of you, don't hesitate to let me know.  Once again, have fun, and I'll post Monday and look forward to seeing your responses.  

OFF: Here is my post.

ON: James sat in the command seat and thought to himself, "what a lousy day this is."  After that thought had passed, he realized that he needed to take action.

Tombsly: =A= Bridge to Engineering.  This is Captain James Tombsly.  Can we push the engines further?  I don't need to know whether it's advisable or not, I just want to know if we can.  If we can, how much further can we go before the whole thing overloads, explodes, or shuts down? =A=

OFF: Cool HK47.

ON: Tombsly: *speaking into his combadge again* Hurry, if you can.  They are still closing on us, and I don't believe that we can outrun them much longer at our present pace.  What's the latest report Tactical?  Helm, you report also.  Engineering, hurry up with whatever you can do.

OFF: Kind of supplementing between my last post, HK47s last post, and trying to get mine to work between more than one station.

Captain James Tombsly, Commanding Officer, USS Lothlorien.

And Harf, I may not have read it, but I did know that only two responses were posted in it, and I was very general with the statement that those who hadn't posted here had to by the end of the week or be removed from the game.  I was very general in my off post, however, in the future I will try to be more specific.
