Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: okay
We have a new doctor. Dr Stephanie Young who was an NPC on Destiny. Thank you Altaira.
What I will do is edit the start of this adventure with Willow leaving the ship as her mother has taken ill with a severe degenerative disease. Her father wants Willow back to help deal with the situation. This happens before the
bee mission starts. Knowing you have a habit of being shot at, you need a new doctor. You find out via Tess and willow that Dr. Stephanie Young is looking to leave Destiny and come abroad another ship. Seems that she and Captain Jon had some difficulties with their relationship so they decided to part ways.
Jade decided to leave the ship at the same time so she could focus on her own health issues.
The call from Percival Chao did not happen. The interaction between Willow and Wilson will be redone as Stephanie and Wilson. The scene at the bar is likely to not change other than Jade is not there.
Dr Young is all doctor, and not a spokesperson or deal maker so Wyatt will have to share his sparkling personality more.

Stephanie young was a doctor for many years before the unification war began and was well known as one of the best surgeons in the Verse. She was a surgeon by the time she was 26, a chief surgeon at 30 and became chief resident of the Emergency by 35. She went on to develop new techniques and methods of surgery that saved hundreds of lives. Always on the go, she never found time for relationships and never married.
During the war she was in charge of a state of the art mobile hospital on the Alliance side. What made her famous was her passion to save lives and refusal to separate patients by which side they were on. She became a "darling" of the news vids during the war for her passionate fight to keep soldiers alive and her well-documented fights with military brass about treating enemy soldiers. Her reputation was so well known and popular that the Alliance had to bow to her wishes or risk public relations disasters.
Her ship was shot down about midway through the war and she was captured by independence fighters who knew her from the vids and reputation. She continued her work as a doctor for the Browncoats but under the same stipulations she had before, that she treated everyone equally not just one side. When the war ended, she was decorated by both sides as hero of the war. The medals meant little to her as she more thought about all those she couldn't save.
She tried to resume a normal life and was offered a high position in the Arial hospitals but she found her job was mostly admin and didn't enjoy it. She took to doing work at a charity clinic where she at least felt she was doing some good. It was through the clinic that she met Captain Jon of Destiny, who was shot up bad after a botched job. She joined the crew shortly after that on a whim to see the Verse and find "herself".
Stephanie has a gift of reading people medically by touch. She can diagnose someone with the simplest of contact, and this ability has served her well over the years. For people she is very close to, she can sometimes know when they are in trouble or in danger. Only Jon and Grace (Destiny's Mechanic) were aware of this gift.
Stephanie often spends her time in the infirmary reading and cortex surfing. When on planet she often finds places nearby that could use a doctor and volunteers for as much time as she can manage.
She and Captain Jon developed a relationship for awhile which she found complicated her being on the ship and with the crew. After much soul searching, she decide to leave Destiny to seek another ship. This lead her to Rocinante via Tess who worked on the ship before and a professional colleague names Willow who was leaving the ship to take care of her mother back home.
On Stephanie:
Stephanie is a consummate professional, very self-possessed, and has a bearing to her that immediately demands respect. She is well known, well respected and is perfectly willing to use that to get her own way. She is fiercely loyal to ship and crew, especially the captain.
She is very quiet mostly, a good listener and always willing to be there for someone without any demands. If working on someone as a doctor, she can become super focused on her task, so much so that she will ignore a gunfight going on to save a life.
The doctor has no family, no children and has never married. Her romantic life is best described by her as many ships passing in the night but never docking for more than a few days.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: doctor
What I need is a doctor/medic/healer character to replace Willow as it is early enough in the game to just slightly re-write it and get the new character in running. As I said, Jade is not involved in any main plots right now and has only posted once.
Female doctor would be best but I am not picky at this point.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: Not so much players needed
Jade was not played into a relevant part if the campaign so I can write her out like the older brother in Happy Days. I will not have anyone else play Willow. I have an idea but we will see it plays out.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: down 2
Both Vanadia and Mmv have decided to forego playing online anymore. They both find they do not have the time or creative spirit to continue.
So... This leaves me in a quandary. What to do? I can take Jade out easily as she did not interact much but V is a major part of the plot. I can not see myself having someone else play Willow though.
I can NPC Willow
I could re-start with a new doctor
I could start drinking heavily
Open to suggestions here. Do I still have everyone else's interest?

Topic: Star Trek: Discovery Subject: Episode 5
I found the story gets better as episodes move on and the last one they showed (5?) was the most startrekky episode so far. Some interesting character development.
Not sure about the very random swearing insertion. It was really not needed, and did not add to the dialogue. It is like the writers have no idea who the audience is. I am waiting for a nude scene, sex scene, lesbian scene to be thrown in just to keep the audience interested. "look! we are being edgy and adulty!!!"

I am enjoying the story and the premise of the series but I have completely divorced it from Star Trek as a continuum. It is in an alternate dimension next to the one out of mirror mirror.

So I had my follow up about arm. No cast. Time to move to Physio. Some concern about my thumb and forefinger being weak but it could take two months to get full movement back. The joint looks good on X-ray.
