Posted on 26 Jul 2026 @ 7:08pm by Captain Sabrina Corbin in Sim Announcement
One year ago, we began this journey with a ship, a newly reactivated fleet, and a collection of ideas about the stories we wanted to tell together.
Since then, the USS Arawyn and Epsilon Fleet have grown into something far larger than any single mission or character. We have explored new worlds, negotiated fragile accords, survived temporal displacement, confronted buried histories, celebrated beneath the lights of the Starfall Carnival, and occasionally created problems that Starfleet regulations were never designed to address.
More importantly, we have built a shared universe filled with people who now feel as though they have always…

Time After Time is winding down. I will keep this mission open until next Saturday, August 1. If you have any Time After Time posts, please put them in this mission.
If you have anything else, lets put these posts in 'The Doldrums'. This is more of an intermission 'plot' and there may be things introduced to react to, its a pretty open sand box for character development, doing your own subplots. If your subplot actions affect others, please check with the command team first, but we're pretty open :)

Greetings, Arawyn Crew!
If we haven’t heard from you in a while, I hope this finds you well. Please let us know your status — we are always happy to help you re-engage in the sim.
As we wrap up our plot for The Displaced, if you are closing out logs connected to that plot, please be sure to post them there. The plot will remain open for a short while as we finish things up. I will be logging soon about the USS Arawyn heading to a planet to enjoy some shore leave.
These in-between periods are an excellent…

Podcast-Style Summaries Now on YouTube
Not an official podcast, not something heavily produced, but some of you already know from Discord that I’ve been experimenting with an AI-generated, podcast-style summary of our sim logs. I have no plans to do formal sim reports or weekly summaries, but I find this format fascinating. It’s quick for me to produce and may help anyone who’s struggling to keep up with the flow of posts.
There are no posting minimums here, and if anyone ever needs a hand getting re-engaged, please let me know. My plan is to share these every other week,…

"The Room that Listened"
// Aft Observation Lounge //
The aft port Observation Lounge was much smaller than the main lounge, Ten Forward, and was usually quiet at 2200 hours. Steve entered the dimly lit space carrying an instrument case. His white loose-fitting lounge pants swishing as he walked. He shrugged his shoulders to relax, set the instrument case on a nearby table facing a generous sized viewport, and walked to the replicator. Looking around, he was relieved to be alone.
“Ice water, with lime, and 2 big soft-baked chocolate chip cookies, with pecans.”
The cookies were delivered on a…

He opened the channel.
"Aft-4, this is the bridge."
Static bled through first, then nine voices tangled over each other, the kind of layered chaos that belonged to a room starved for air and time. Someone called for quiet. The silence that followed took a heartbeat too long, a hesitation that said more than words.
"This is McKinney." He pressed his hand flat to the console, holding steady because that was all he had left to offer. "Shield generator's holding because of you. Convoy's not clear yet. I won't pretend I know how much time that buys."
He let the…

// Science Lab //
Suzanna walked into the science lab, intending to speak with Lieutenant Commander Remington about the department's recent work studying the gas giant. The results had been impressive, and as a fellow scientist, she wanted to congratulate both Remington and his team personally.
She had spent enough of her career in Science to appreciate the work behind the reports that eventually reached the command staff. Good science was rarely the achievement of one officer alone.
Looking around, however, she found the lab operating with little more than a skeleton crew. "I am looking for Commander Remington. Where…

By the third evening, the silence had stopped feeling useful.
Claire sat at her desk near the end of shift with a cup of tea cooling beside her and the shipboard scheduling interface open on the terminal. She had spent most of the last few days telling herself the distance was necessary, and for a while it had been. Leaving Grayson’s quarters had given her enough space to separate what he had meant from what she had heard. He had asked a professional question without knowing that her own standing order placed her exactly where his casualty calculation had begun…

//Random Corridor on Random Deck //
He was three corridors from his quarters before he registered he’d left them, PADD still in his hand, its display dark from disuse. He didn’t go back. Nothing in that room called to him, not the sofa, the chair, or the low table where the paper still sat unfolded next to a screen that had cost him four seconds to fill in and would take much longer to stop thinking about.
He hadn’t seen Claire since she walked out two nights ago, shoes in one hand, the door closing behind her with a quiet,…

Lieutenant Jorik's Personal Log, Stardate 242501.27.
I have returned to my quarters aboard the USS Arawyn following an unscheduled encounter planetside. It is approximately one hour since Lieutenant Commander Harlan accepted the provisions I provided and beamed back to the ship. The medical department remains in a state of operational limbo; the Chief Medical Officer and the majority of staff are currently on shore leave, leaving me to monitor routine systems from standby. I have utilized this interval for meditation, though the session was... less productive than anticipated. My thoughts continue to cycle through recent events, requiring active realignment.

Posted on 20 Jan 2026 @ 9:51pm by Lieutenant Commander Elias Harlan
Elias was up early the next morning—freshly showered, uniform crisp, two cups of coffee already down before he left his quarters. The run-in with Jorik still lingered like a low-grade plasma leak, but he pushed it aside. Today wasn’t about old wounds. Today was about the test.
His stride had purpose as he walked the corridors. Junior officers and crew subconsciously parted for him—serious Lieutenant Commander, unknown face, quiet authority that didn’t need words. A couple of ensigns nodded as they stepped off the turbolift he entered; he turned, faced forward, and said simply, “Main Engineering.”
The Excelsior’s engine room…

Posted on 20 Jan 2026 @ 9:50pm by Lieutenant Commander Elias Harlan
Elias sat at the small desk in his guest quarters, nursing his second cup of coffee and staring at the same PADD screen he’d been reading for the last hour without really seeing it. The run-in with Jorik two days ago hadn’t gone as badly as it could have—nobody had ended up in sickbay, nobody had been court-martialed—but it had been tense, raw, and loaded with emotions he had no interest in unpacking right now.
So he’d taken to hiding in his quarters. It was the one place on the Intrepid where Jorik wasn’t likely to appear unless he deliberately…

USS Interpid
En-Route to Lathira IV
Two days had passed since the personnel transfer, and the Intrepid’s corridors felt narrower than usual.
Elias had turned avoidance into an art form. He’d mapped out the ship’s quieter arteries like a man charting escape routes: the lower-deck Jefferies tubes where the lighting was dim and the hum of secondary power systems drowned out footsteps, the auxiliary sensor labs that rarely saw senior staff, the small observation alcove on Deck 12 with a viewport nobody ever used because it faced the warp nacelles instead of stars. He knew every shift change, every patrol…

USS Intrepid
En-Route Lathira IV
Elias Harlan was halfway through his first week aboard the Intrepid, and so far he’d managed to stay mostly out of everyone’s hair.
He kept to guest quarters, the occasional mess-hall run for coffee that was at least drinkable, and the quiet corners of the ship where no one expected him to make small talk. Rebecca had delivered the weekly senior officers’ dinner invite in person, her expression somewhere between sisterly insistence and XO command. Captain Harrington had apparently taken a personal interest—why, Elias couldn’t begin to guess. He’d accepted, figuring refusal would only draw…
