Definitely not a moody loner who always works alone and has to be persuaded to help out, though.

Subject: Sweet!
t_catt11 is the Game Master for this one, but I've made him aware of my attempts to recruit you and have gotten the go ahead to add you if you accepted.
As to the roster entry, absolutely... Change/edit/update anything you like (you'll be able to do so once you're added to the list of approved players... I'll PM you when that's done). She's your character, now, make her your own.

Topic: Star Trek: the Edge of Duty
Subject: Interlude - Tochi and Eric at the pub
((OOC: the following is a collaborative post between myself and Duncan.)
Stardate 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine; Observation Lounge - 1550
Lt Zai strolled into the Observation Lounge, mandolin slung over one shoulder and a deck of cards snugged into a jacket pocket. His gaze swept the room as he entered, but didn't immediately find Thorson. Still frilling with his engines, most likely, the Trill smirked, picking out a table near one of the forward portholes and making his way to it.
"Tochi," Leah Finnley called from behind the bar, offering a smile and a wave, "Your usual, luv?"
The Trill offered a roguish smile and a wave of his own in reply; "Just a short one, Leah. I imagine I'll have to be on-hand when our new people come aboard. Don't want to overdo it."
"O' course not," the woman laughed, already setting about filling the Lieutenant's order even as he settled into his seat. Tochi had scarcely removed the cards from his pocket when the dark-haired woman appeared at his table and set a short glass of bourbon in front of him. "No ice," she smiled.
"Thanks," Tochi grinned, tugging the cards from their pack and absently shuffling them.
"Indeed," Leah replied, "Eric joining you for a hand?"
"Or two," Tochi confirmed, "We'll see what we can do before we reach 118."
As if on cue, the doors to the lounge whooshed open and Lt Commander Thorson stepped through, his gaze sweeping the place much as Tochi's had done just a moment ago.
"Eric," Tochi and Leah chorused, both of them raising a hand to further catch the man's attention, and sharing a chuckle at their synchronicity.
Eric broke into a grin at the sight. He was beginning to feel like that guy Norm in that old Earth Television show Cheers. Raising a hand and calling out a greeting to Leah, he added "Brought my own!", holding up the other hand, which clutched a bottle of honey-brown liquid and a pair of authentic horn cups that had been in his family for many generations. He ambled over to Tochi's table and sat, putting the bottle and cups between them on the table, a ritual performed a now-unremembered number of times back at the Academy, when both were lowly cadets and Eric had recently befriended the lowerclassman. Eric had been most gratified to discover that his old and good friend was still in there after the joining, years later. "Hey Tochi. Guess we got our wish about breaking the boredom, eh?" Eric asked as he massaged his still-twinging flesh where it met his cybernetic arm. He had been given a clean bill of health by the doc, but by Odin, the thing still hurt a bit.
As he spoke, he poured from the bottle into the horn cups. "Seemed like the time to bring out the good stuff, by the way; this is from that same batch of mead that we had that night with that bartender and admiral's daughter." He gave a knowing wink as he said it.
The Trill chuckled at that and, lifting the short glass of bourbon, took a sip and said; "That night was trouble, my friend. How long were you ducking that particular admiral afterwards?"
"Boy stories," Leah rolled her eyes playfully before offering a bright smile and taking her leave of the pair.
Eric chuckled as she wandered away. "Speaking of bartenders..." he said with a grin. "And I'll have you know, I saw the good admiral just a couple of years ago. I don't think he even remembered me. Guess I didn't make that much of an impression. Heard that the daughter is now living on Risa. Fitting, I suppose," he added with a wink.
"Most fitting," Tochi laughed, setting his drink aside and giving the cards a final shuffle, "and, with a daughter like that, I suppose, there'd have been plenty of other cadets and officers since. All of those faces blurring together couldn't have been easy on the old man where acquiring targets was concerned."
He slid the deck across the table and tapped it with a cold finger; "Cut?"
Eric laughed as he cut the deck. "I'm sure she ended up making him proud. Eventually. Maybe." As Tochi dealt and Eric collected his hand, Eric said "Ok, on a serious note, what do you think about that pod? I mean, a corpse, canisters holding some mysterious microorganism, overloaded shielding that shouldn't have overloaded, signs of the thing being jettisoned at warp...I don't like it, my friend. We can't get that thing off the ship soon enough for me," he said, once more glancing down at the spot where he'd been blasted by the blown shielding.
"We don't like it any more than you do," Tochi admitted, his eyes flitting to the cards now fanned out in his hand, "The whole thing just seems," he shrugged as he looked back up from his hand; ",off?
The telemetry reports we managed to get from the thing didn't even make any sense," he continued, collapsing the card fan and reaching for his drink; "According to everything we know, the Hekaran ship to which the pod belongs has never even been in this sector and, currently, she's some one hundred eighteen light years away! How in the frill does that happen? We're with you. The sooner we hand it off to Serapis, the better,"
He paused, sipped his bourbon, and then nodded meaningfully toward Eric's arm; "Heard your efforts earned you a trip to Sickbay. Everything okay?"
"Still aches a little," Eric replied, "but the good doctor gave me a clean bill of health, and the diagnostics I ran aren't showing anything weird. Still damned peculiar, though. That shielding, according to my readings, never had enough power in it to cause that kind of overload. And while I want that pod off the ship, I do hate mysteries."
"Mmmmhmm," Tochi nodded, taking up his cards, again, as he considered Eric's words, "If we were a larger ship, perhaps, and weren't presently tasked with playing babysitter to the Coronado," He peeled three cards from his hand and laid them, face down, on the table before offering a shrug and a grin; ",Honestly, I'd still lobby to hand the thing off. Like I said; everything about it unsettles us.
How many," he asked, then, nodding at the cards Eric held.
Eric gave a little wave of his hand over his cards. "I'm good." He chuckled, "I'm never going to get used to you using 'we' and 'us'. Makes me want to picture you in a royal gown and tiara."
The Trill smirked at his friend's passing on the draw, and then chuckled a little at that gown and tiara comment. "Kasru was quite the fashion plate," he offered, replacing the three cards he'd done away with, "I'll have you know that we look absolutely fabulous in a gown and tiara, Bastard."
He regarded his cards, again, and smirked before folding them together. "So you heard about Chell, yes?"
Eric reached down and grasped his cup with the cybernetic hand. "Yeah, I saw that in my memos a little while ago. Damned shame. Gonna miss that little Bolian." He raised his cup. "A toast, then. To---" Suddenly and without any warning, Eric's hand spasmed shut into a fist. The ancient horn drinking cup was instantly crushed to powder, sending a spray of golden mead across both of them. Too shocked for words, Eric's eyes flew wide open as he gazed at his hand, still clenched tightly enough to crush duranium. Then, as quickly as it had clenched of its own accord, it relaxed into an open hand. Eric could feel that he had control of it again. He looked at Tochi with wide eyes as he gently shook the hand, flinging the last bits of the cup and more of the dripping mead from his hand. "I- I--- What the hell?" he asked aloud.
Tochi's reaction had been similar to Eric's - eyes going wide in surprise and uttering a comparable epithet - but the Trill had also practically leapt from his seat, snatching his mandolin out of the way of the splashing mead in the process. All he could do, for a moment, was stand there blinking at Thorson, the splattered mead, the powdered remains of the horn cup,
"Are you sure those diagnostics came back negative," he queried after a few seconds, still holding his mandolin aloft, "I don't know that we've ever seen that happen before."
Eric was still dumbfounded. "No, we haven't. And we shouldn't have now." He looked up at Tochi, took a deep breath, and clapped Tochi on the shoulder (making it a point to use his flesh-and-blood hand). "Sorry to cut it short, and sorry for the mess. I need to get to Engineering and run some more tests."
The Trill, still gawking at the fallout of what had just happened, nodded his understanding and clapped his friend on the back. "Of course," he said, regarding Eric with something of a concerned expression, "completely understood. Let me know if you need anything, right?"
Thorson nodded his affirmation and disappeared from the Lounge, then. For his part, Tochi relegated his mandolin to an empty (and dry) seat and made to wave for Leah, but the woman was already there with a couple of towels in hand.
"What was that all about," she asked, handing Tochi one of the towels and setting to wiping up the splattered mead with the other.
"Just, uh," Tochi blinked, looking between the table and the door through which Eric had just departed, ",a malfunction, We think,"

Subject: Sure thing...
...just visit our Trek Tools at this link; click on Peregrine, then, below the image, click on the link for "Roster". That should take you to the current roster for our little adventure. There are currently three NPCs listed under the Medical department... If you want to assume one of those roles feel free to do so. That said, however, none of those medical NPCs have played into the game, yet, so any of them can be pulled in favor of an "original Boo Boo creation," if you prefer.

Subject: A nurse, you say?
Oddly enough, ALL of the nurses we've got on board at this point are NPCs and, that said, I think we could really use a living breathing player in that position if, for nothing else, than to keep our current CMO from going stir-crazy.
As I said, no need to worry about the technical stuff (we can always hold your hand, there, if it becomes necessary)... if you'd like to join up, say the word and we'll get you rolling.

Subject: Freeforming it...
There are several spots currently occupied by NPCs on the roster for theTrek game, Boo Boo. If you're interested, I bet we can find a place for you aboard the Peregrine . You don't have to be Trekkie to play... just enthusiastic about posting.
Take a look at the roster, if you like, and see if there's a spot that strikes your fancy. If so, contact me or t_catt11 and we'll see what we can do.

Cuz you know you wanna play! C'mon! Isn't it the dream around here; to have a character get killed off by Olan SuddenDeath?
I'd sign up but I don't wanna get things off to a bad start with my moody loner who always works alone and has to be persuaded to help out.

Topic: Hello I'm New
Subject: Heeeeey, Boo Boo!
Yay! New Faces!!!! *ka-boingity-sproingity-jinglty-pounce!*
H'lo, there, Boo Boo! Welcome to our little cozy corner of the World Weird Web! We're glad you found us!
WE do have a lot of "non-rules based" games that happen hereabouts, by the by... You can usually find most of them in the under the Freeform heading. Right now, in fact, there's a "moderated free-form" game based on the Star Trek universe taking place and I'm not sure how many more beyond that. Also, chatroom RP happens on a fairly regular basis, around here... ya just gotta wait for it to get hopping.
As to not being familiar with and/or knowing the rules to any of the other systems... don't let that intimidate you... I think you'll find that most of us around here are super-friendly and super-excited to lend a hand if you need it, so, if you see something that interests you, don't let a "lack of experience" keep you away.
Now, after pointing you to Pit F(r)iend's super-groovy guide for newbies I'll stop running off at the mouth and let the other Innmates have their say.
Again, welcome; and, if there's ever anything I (or any of us other Innmates) can do to make your stay here more enjoyable, I'm just a post or PM away!

Besides continuing with PO Owen and Tochi telling her how these bridge rotations didn't mean she was off the hook for her exams I could think of little else to address without getting ahead of the game... Felt the need to post something, though.
P.S. Signing off for a bit to take a load of donations to Goodwill with the wife. Back later.

Stardate 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine, Lt Zai's Quarters - 1545
Tochi reclined on the bed, mandolin in his lap and PADD laid out on the covers before him, hazel eyes glittering as he simultaneously picked out the notes and chords for "Hooshiban Sonata in Sunlight" and devoured the information contained in the dossiers for Lt Jessica Simmons and Ensign Hebert Thomason, not necessarily in that order. Being the Chief Flight Control Officer meant that, of course, the Trill was slightly more interested in Thomason's resume (which, at an initial read through, seemed exemplary) but, at the same time, the XO in him decided that a thorough review of the new OPS chief was similarly in order (again, a shining example of what a Starfleet Officer should be was displayed in the files he had been provided) and, as a result, only the escape provided by music was enough to allow him to focus and reflect on both of them at once. Thomason, it seemed, regardless of commendations and recommendations, would be a nice fit with the collection of odd-balls and off-kilters that currently comprised his Flight Control department - the sheer size of the man, as indicated by the dossier, was enough to make him stand out and, also, left Tochi wondering if he might not need to replicate a step stool just on the off chance that he might need to get in the newly assigned Ensign's face, at some point.
Tochi found it difficult, after that thought, to pick back up on the intricate chording of the sonata and, after more than one attempt to do so, abandoned the effort and glanced at the chronograph, Only another 15 minutes or so before we're supposed to arrive in SB 118's vicinity , He begrudgingly set the mandolin aside, then, and, after a moment, swung his legs over the edge of the bed and, after kneading his toes into the carpet for an instant, reached for the dungarees and jacket he favored in the off hours. Once suitably attired, the trill tapped the commbadge affixed to his jacket, "Commander Thorson," he said as he tugged his boots on and slung his mandolin over one shoulder, "Lt Zai, If you're not busy, how about a drink and a hand or two of five card draw in the Observation Lounge? Drinks are on my replicator rations,"
((OOC: Assuming Eric's not gonna leave Tochi hanging and says, "Sure. See you there in five," or something similar.))
"Very well, my friend," Tochi grinned, stepping out into the corridor, "I'll have the cards nice and warm and the ale good and cold when you arrive."
((OOC: Some kind of collab post between Eric and Tochi to come, ))
