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,…

» Assignment: Arawyn completed

Posted on 18 Aug 2025 @ 2:43pm by Captain Sabrina Corbin in General News

=/\= News from the USS Arawyn =/\=

Exciting times aboard the USS Arawyn! We’ve officially wrapped up our inaugural mission,
Assignment: Arawyn, with an impressive 43 mission posts and 6 personal logs.
That’s a strong start and a testament to the creativity and energy of this crew.

Now it’s time to cast off the docking clamps and chart our course into the stars with our
first full plot: Fractured Accord. A dedicated wiki has been posted to track this mission,
and it will continue to grow as you bring the story alive through your posts.

» Fractured Accord – Coming Soon

Posted on 16 Aug 2025 @ 4:48am by Captain Sabrina Corbin in Sim Announcement

Epsilon Fleet Command has given the USS Arawyn her first true test: a convoy escort into the disputed Tavrik system. On the surface, the assignment is routine — safeguard three science and terraforming vessels on their journey to Tavrik III and provide protection while critical upgrades are made planetside.

But the Tavrik region is anything but routine. Rival factions stake claims, colonists clash over Federation presence, and the balance between diplomacy and disaster hangs by a thread.

Launching soon, Fractured Accord will take the Arawyn and her crew into contested space, where trust is fragile, tensions are high, and the…

Don’t mind the dust, things are still coming together around here.

The Arawyn is officially open for business (or mischief, depending on your department). If you've found your way to this message, congratulations, you've got a head start on the rest of the crew. That means it’s time to polish those boots, dust off those pips, and report in. We’re building something special, and your character might just be the chaos catalyst, or the voice of reason, this Sovereign-class beauty needs.

Until then, poke around, make yourself at home, and if you break anything, well, just say Ops was already…

=*= Observation Lounge, USS Arawyn =*=

Luke turned his head from the notes in front of him to the view, Tarvik III turned below serenly as if to serve as a reminder that beautiful things could come out of chaos. With hours of returning gear and equipment to Security storage completed, including the mandatory inventory and inspection, he'd finally finished for the day. Getting back into a routine had proven restorative and Luke had enjoyed keeping the momentum going. His career wasn't yet months old but was back on the trajectory he had envisioned in the Academy. Progress led to…

/// Sickbay ///

She'd only been in sickbay for half a day or so, since her operation, when all of a sudden she was startled. "Luna!" She called out softly, she had been so caught up on being here and all the information, that she had totally forgotten about her kitten. "Nurse," she called over and when the nurse approached her bed, asked, "I need to speak with Dr Amberlyn urgently, could you ask her to come see me, please?”

“Of course.”

Riah came quickly, motivated by the urgency of the nurse’s summon. “Commander. What’s up?” asked the doctor.

"Is…

///Deck 8//

“Damn light,” Ryan said, working on it with his screwdriver. Now that his shore leave was over (not that he could remember most of it) he was focused on fixing the smaller problems on board. This particular light had shorted out a few days ago. His fellow engineer had gone for a coffee. He heard footsteps and assumed he had returned. “Hey, can you pass me a flathead? This isn’t working."

A hand passed him the tool. Ryan gave a satisfied noise as it worked. “Thanks.”

“You're welcome,” a female voice said, surprising him.

Surprised, Ryan got down…

Mission: After Tarvik

///USS Arawyn////
///CO's Office///

Lelina made sure her engineering uniform was professionally cleaned of any dirt or grease stains before she set foot upon her potential new ship. From what she had heard, they had recently lost their CEO due to a medical emergency and everyone else was too new to fill those shoes. Fortunately she had been looking for a transfer off her own ship, as that CEO seemed cushioned in his role, which meant any advancement seemed unlikely.

But with the change, came the same old tired rituals she had to do. Starting with the fact that her…

// Starbase 369 – Steep Space Tea House //

The turbolift eased to a stop at the promenade level, and Captain Sabrina Corbin stepped out into the soft hum of midday traffic. The flow of civilians and off-duty officers parted easily around her, a quiet current of motion beneath the station’s steady pulse. Her padd rested in one hand, thumb tracing absently across the profile displayed there.

Commander Suzanna Batenburg.

Corbin had read the file three times between the Arawyn and the station. It told her almost nothing about the woman herself, only the outline of a story shaped by…

(Continued)

The corridor appeared to be empty. Ryan gripped his phase pistol tightly. He could hear the sound of pounding in the distance. “That seal isn’t going to hold for long.”

They soon arrived at a break in the passageway, going to the left and right. “Which way?’” Ryan whispered. “There are escape pods on either side.”

“Let me check out the right,” Mendon said. “Stay here.”

Ryan nodded. “Be careful,” he said, and watched him disappear into the darkness.

“Ryan!” one of the engineers hissed. Ryan turned to the left, and for the first time in his…

OOC: Fairly large log, so split into two parts

Starbase 369

“All hands, this is the Captain. Docking complete. Shore leave is authorized for forty-eight hours. Department heads coordinate coverage and readiness reports before departure. You’ve all earned the time," the Captain said over the com.

Commander Boren had remotely decided who would go when, and Ryan’s turn had been selected first. He left the Arawyn, feeling a strange sense of…relief? It was hard to describe what he was feeling. Nor did he know what to do with his free time. While he wasn’t one to indulge in drinking, he…

OOC: Takes place a month before reassignment to the USS Arawyn.

---Earth, San Francisco---
---Counselor's Office----

Ryan entered the counselor's office, on time as scheduled. The counselor in question, Doctor Jenzen Poliski, was an elderly man in his seventies. The counselor had wanted to call him JP. It didn't stick.

"Hello, Ryan," Jenzen greeted. "Come on in. Would you like coffee? Tea?"

"Sure," Ryan said. Truthfully, he didn't want either. But he knew how this worked. Give the counselor what he wanted, and he could leave faster. "Tea would be good."

Jenzen poured a cup, and put the tea in.…

» An Excerpt from My Journal

Posted on 07 Sep 2025 @ 9:21pm by Crewman Clara Barton

I’ve finally gotten back to journaling after embarking on what will probably be the most stupendous experience of my life. The words on this page are for my eyes only, and somehow it centers me to get my thoughts down on paper. And yes, I’m still old school, writing in cursive with pen and ink just as I’ve been doing since childhood. Back in my pre-pubescent days, it was a “Dear Diary” sort of thing jotted down in a little pink book with a lock that anyone could pick with a safety pin. By high school, diaries had graduated to…

The final items in the crate were a set of leather-bound journals filled with unlined linen paper. Three were in various states of use, their corners soft, spines creased, and certain pages dog-eared to mark their importance. All three were full. The fourth was new, its leather unmarred, the pages blank, though she suspected the first entry would be written tonight.

Beside them was a small bundle of pens: black ink rollerballs in her preferred 0.7mm size. Not fancy, but they wrote cleanly, and she liked the way they moved across linen paper. She had once…
