Subject: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun...
Hahaha, we'll see!
Intro up! Not as long as I had thought it would be, but I'm uncertain where to take it. Who do I ask for permission to board? Is there a set rotation for posts?

Topic: Star Trek: Operation Persephone
Subject: At a Crossroads
Stardate: 2374.09.01
Deep Space Nine - 16:12
Cathica Mas’Riat, brows furrowed in deep concentration, stared at the screen before her, eyes scanning the scrolling words for their deeper meaning but finding nothing. Of her former guardian, Davorius Tek, there was only the briefest of mention; he and his licentious heart had been reduced to a footnote as officials were ruling his death accidental. For so long, trapped in that dark hell, she had dreamed of killing him. It had been the one thing that sustained her, that kept her will to live from fading into oblivion. Cathica had assumed that, once she had watched the lights in his eyes flicker and die, that she would feel, in some way, vindicated.
She had never been so wrong. Instead of pleasure at the sight of his face contorting in fear, and the feel of his blood on her hands, Cathica felt only emptiness and a dull, hollow ache inside that she could not fill or explain or ignore. Though she could not have allowed him to live any longer, knowing that his actions had caused her years of torment at the hands of the Jem’Hadar, she was not proud of herself, though nor did she feel remorse for ending his miserable existence.
She fingered her mother’s earring and chains, something she had worn since her childhood with Davorius. She would have to board the Charon soon, bound for parts unknown. Sisko had not been so clear with his discourse, and she found his diplomatic ambiguity frustrating, at best, but largely only mildly irritating. She turned to the replicator.
“Jumja tea, 27° Celsius. One measure of kava.”
Really, Cathica had no desire to drink it at all, but only needed something to take the edge off. Sisko‘s idea of a good time was not sitting well with her, and for the first time she was uncertain what her next move would be. For so long her only goal had been to survive one more day, to get past one more night. Now, she was being offered a chance for redemption, and now she had more than one choice. She could run, or she could join the crew of a Starfleet craft.
The tea soothed her some. Taking it to her bed, she set the cup and saucer on the bedside table. Knots that had formed in her neck and back eased and she lay back upon her bed, eyes closed in contemplation. “Think of it as… as an exchange for the room and board,” Sisko had smiled, teeth gleaming in forced sincerity.
“An exchange.”
“Mas’Riat. Cathica. You piloted an alien shuttle though Dominion, took heavy fire, and made it through the wormhole in one piece. Your skills, you talent, would greatly benefit The Charon. Just. Just try it.”
“And what’s in it for me?”
Sisko’s smile spread into a grin. “What a mercenary question, Lieutenant Mas’Riat.”
In the end, it was Davorius Tek himself who made up her mind. The afternoon she met with Sisko she had returned to her quarters to lie down for a bit, thinking over the conversation again and again, and fell into a tortured sleep. Davorius appeared, his face bruised and graying, his clothing torn, bloodied. He snatched the earring from her, tearing it out, and crushed it in his hand.
“I’ll make sure that you pay, little one. You may have escaped them, but now you have to escape ME!” Davorius reached for her and she awoke with a start. Cathica looked around, unsettled by the closeness, the near reality, of her dream.
“Oh, I will most certainly escape you, too, Davorius,” she hissed into the emptiness.
She sat and reached for the brush on the bedside table. Dragging it through the tousled waves of tawny hair, like burnt sienna silk, she fixed her dark eyes on a point in the distance and willed herself to let go, to push past his memory. Cathica breathed deeply, counting, measuring, and when she was calm again she changed into the uniform Sisko had sent to her room, apparently while she had been sleeping. Sure enough, the Charon was docked exactly where Sisko had said it would be.
She fingered the pips marking her as a lieutenant and sighed heavily. Where one would only see the lines and contours of a ship, Cathica Mas'Riat saw only another way to survive, another way to put distance between herself and the captors she had fled from. Ganithon, she prayed silently to the soul of her prison companion. I'll find a way to make them suffer. I j ust have to survive this a little longer...
This was going to be one hell of an escape.

Anyone know how to add your bio to the roster? OR add your character to the roster? Trek Tools lets me view, but nothing more.
While we get that sorted out, I'll be working up what to post for my intro! Bit of fair warning, it's going to be a bit lengthy. Only a bit.

400 seems a bit low, and you might be Viking in real life, which would explain #1.

Topic: Two truths and a lie
Subject: The Lie
It was 3. I hate reality TV with th fiery passion of a thousand red hot suns. It responsible, in my opinion, for the continuaing dumbing down of society.
The frog is about the size of my hand. It spans from my collar bone to just before the rise of my... womanly attributes. It's an outline, with basically no shading or anything. Frogs were my father's favorite creature, and since he was not able to finish his life, i will not finish my frog.

Room for one more?
I've a few ideas in mind, but I would really be open to anything. OOh, and later on, I would love to take on the role of one of the "detainees." I have to warn you, though, my tastes and style tends to run.... violently dark.
