Those wondering why I suddenly disappeared from the game, we lost power here. It's still out but my iPad has Internet through AT&T I'm at least grateful for that.
As soon as it comes back, I'll log back in game. Hopefully, my coming back doesn't disturb what you guys are doin.
I'll keep u posted.

Donaldson was crucial to the plot, so we decided to postpone. Plus, it was already too late to finish it in one session anyway. We may do something out of order next week, because I want Murray to be here for this episode as it's very important to the ship's storyline. However, we will complete the story.

Well, I thought it was silly sending the fleet's CO on an away mission, much less to the past. But nobody asked me, and apparently I don't even exist at the moment anyway because T'pang broke it.

Like many of the plots of so many Star Trek stories (especially time travel stories) there are some holes in it. But we convieniently ignore them in the interest of the story. In our case seeing as we have a severe deficiency of PC senior officers on board and because of the nature of the storyline, if Brian doesn't lead the away team then he would literally have no part in the story at all and may as well not even show up. ICly if he doesn't then we are sending the brand new junior officers into the past to save the universe on thier own. In these sorts of situations you have to ask WWJKD (What Would James Kirk Do) The justification is mainly that the mission is of sufficient importance to warrant risking the fleet CO, since failure to accomplish the mission means there is no fleet for him to be CO of anyway. The justification for not sending T'Pang is that she is already there and meeting her future self could have unknown consequences on the time line. There are OOC reasons as well for all of this but they are just that OOC. Agreeably there are some difficulties with all of this but hey we work with the resources we have.

That is a lucid, articulate, well thought out explaination... works for me. ;D I feel better about it now.

It's basically a requirement in Star Trek for the CO to go on important away missions despite any number of regulations to the contrary.
