When originally reporting for your post - i.e. the first time you meet your department head - it would be a good idea to salute. The only other common time to salute is when giving a report.

I would have to agree with whoiam - this would be another viable career advancement path.

Most of your questions are probably answered on the first page or so of this thread. That being said, I'm hapopy to answer questions.
This is simm based - i.e. moderated freeform trek.

The year is 2368. For ease of reading, we only use "offical" stardate notation (45305.4) when someone is stating in in character.

Commander and above are ranks that are usually reserved for those with interest in command. There are odd instances of these ranks appearing in other departments - but the only ones I can find in canonical trek are from the movies based off of the original series (Scotty and Spock both held the rank of captain, for instance).
Usually, a department head tops out at lieutenant commander... commmander is typically reserved for those who serve as executive officers (or as commanders of smaller vessels/installations). Likewsie, captain is a rank usually reserved for commanding officers.
If Callie is interested in further promotion, her best bet is to undergo command training in the sammer manner that our current XO, Avanti, did.

I stumbled across Lastlands today, thanks to them linking to Loaded Dice. I'm just now beginning to look at their content, but man, does the site itself look gorgeous!
Anyway, I thought this might be interesting for our 4e gamers.

We have lost our chief ops officer to RL issues before they even came abords, so I am retconning the only two posts that mention her.
The position is now open! If you are interested, send me a PM.

Today's update is up. As always, please share your comment and criticisms here.
Man, I LOVE the library art!
Also, please take the time to reddit the comic - either with the icon on the comic page, or with this reddit link. Feel free to comment there, if you like, but make sure to click the up arrow at the top of the page (next to the comic title).
Thanks!

Well, folks, we did not hit the goal I had of being underway by the end of the week. However, we are pretty close.
You'll note that Alacrity jumped the timeline ahead quite a few hours with today's post. Feel free to fill in whatever you may have that needs to be done, but know that we're about to move forward.
I'll put up a post of my own dealing with Avanti coming aboard. We'll probably bump ahead then to the 12th, which is our scheduled departure date.
Randel, if you are playing, you need to get your ops officer onboard.

This was also covered in the first couple of pages of this Q&A thread. The station that Worf manned is technically the primary tactical station - on the Discovery, it will be manned by MacTavish or one of his lackeys.
However, there are two secondary stations there on the "rim" (i.e. the rail you are referring to). Security mans one of these.
Security officers wear a weapon at all times while on duty.

Stardate: 2368.04.10
USS Discovery, Lieutenant Talda’s quarters – 0940
Caleb awoke slowly, with stinging eyes and a head that felt heavy and thick. He blinked a time or two and immediately regretted it – blinking just made the stinging worse. “Computer,” he croaked, “what is the time?”
=/\=The time is oh-nine forty=/\= came the feminine reply, several decibels louder than the young man would have liked.
So, not quite three hours of sleep, then. Good thing I’m not on alpha shift today. A soft murmur also protested the speech, and served to give Talda something to focus on.
His gaze settled on an unruly flood of raven hair spilled across his pillow. Caleb found himself smiling, despite his fatigue. Prior to a few hours ago, he had only seen that hair pinned up into a very proper bun. The emerald-eyed beauty who wore it had always gone out of her way to let him know just how low an opinion she held of him. On good days, she was tolerant, if a bit cool – on bad days, she had been known to be bitingly hostile.
Sabrina Calden was a dedicated, brilliant researcher who made it clear that she was on board for the science only – and for no other reason. When others would gather after a shift to share drinks and stories, Sabrina would work late. While others would share anecdotes during work, she would invariably steer the conversation back to the task at hand.
While she might have considered most of the department to be shallow or flighty, it was clear that Caleb was another matter entirely. If he made any sort of non-work comment to any female in her presence, she would shoot daggers at him with her eyes. Heaven forbid he share the company of a young woman on a given evening – she would go out of her way to make the following day miserable. It was clear from day one that Sabrina viewed Caleb’s Risan background and philosophy as some sort of abomination, as something to be ashamed of, and the fact that he instead displayed it openly was something she seemed to take as a personal offense.
Which was why it was so jarring to wake up next to her.
She murmured again, this time opening her eyes and focusing on Caleb. Instantly, her eyes narrowed, and she tensed up… but a moment later, she relaxed and smiled a sleepy smile back to him.
Caleb grinned and stretched. “Coffee, extra sugar, extra creamer,” he spoke, and the replicator whirred to life.
Some things were well worth a little lost sleep.

Yesterday was a record day for the Inn in terms of traffic. We broke 2k visitors for the day, and had better than 9.3k page views.
A large part of this was due to both comics updating, and the fact that reddit liked them both. Hopefully, we'll start to see more of that traffic coming back... maybe even posting with us!

Welcome to the Inn! sorry you have had bad experiences in the past... hopefully, your luck will change here.
Play by post games are especially useful for those of us who live in the middle of nowhere/have little to no time to play tabletop. Drop on by the recruitment forums and see if you can find an opening to a game that sounds interesting to you.
