U.S.S. Constellation Current Mission: "Radiation or Reluctance" Updated SD 2261.130

Introduction

Below is a timeline of the events of the current mission, beginning with the first post of MD 1 and ending with the post that occured on the most recent mission date.

Please keep in mind that this is not a timeline of when each person posted, but a timeline of the events in our posts in relation to one another. This means that the latest event is NOT NECESSARILY from the most recent post. That is why this timeline is kept: to help the players more readily grasp the true sequence of the events about which we write.

Concerns about the timeline should be addressed to Rob Meier.

AUTHOR          MISSION DATE    SUMMARY
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Roger B         1.0900          Astor receives confirmation of his suspicions: his new yeoman,
                                Dawn Starkey, is also his daughter. ("Confirmation of Things Already Known")

Mary M          1.1000          Dr Douglass puts fear into the heart of an uncooperative security officer
                                whose blood tests need repeating. ("And in this Corner . . .")

                                planet. After the meeting, she confers with Frost about her condition.
                                Did the baseball game victory doom Douglass' relationship with
                                Commander Coleman? ("Briefing")

Roger B         1.1310          Astor explains the perils of Farnsworth radiation for transporters.

Jeffrey J       1.1310          Brooks explains why R-597 isn't the paradise it might seem to be,
                                and adds more information about Farnsworth radiation's effects on
                                transported patterns. ("What a Wonderful World")

Mark M          1.1310          Howden identifies several possible relocation sites for the colonists.
                                ("Navigational Observations")

Scott L         1.1310          Veld gives Byrne the difficult task of readying the transporters
                                to work through Farnsworth radiation, then rallies the troops with a
                                little speech. ("Setting the Engineers on it")

Scott L         1.1315          Veld concludes the new mission briefing. ("Mission Briefing, Part II")

                                radiation with Veld. ("Navigational Observations")

Mary M          1.1400          Allegra gives her staff the bad news about the next mission.
                                ("It Can Only Get Worse")

Scott L         1.1516          Jack mulls over Howden's theories and sets Brooks to work on them,
                                then invites Howden to his day cabin for a short chat. ("Complications")

Scott L/        1.1516          Veld thinks about his family as he awaits the arrival of LCDR Howden.
Mark M          1.1521          Howden ponders his Academy lessons as he arrives at Veld's day cabin.

Scott L         1.1521          Veld and Howden sit down and talk shop; Veld offers Howden the 2O
                                slot on CONSTELLATION. ("Double Duty, Part II")

Mark M          1.1522          Howden asks for further clarification about what the role might

Rob M           1.1600          Frost invites Astor to discuss the possibility of cramming ten thousand
                                extra bodies aboard two CONSTITUTION-class starships. ("A Giant Game of
                                Sardines")

Roger B         1.1615          Astor's team explains that it should be possible to fit five or six
                                thousand extra bodies aboard CONNIE; but the ship's systems can't
                                handle the associated extra 'waste products' . . . ("Of Utilities and
                                Sanitation")

Roger B         1.1732          Astor leads Starkey around the ship the hard way as they deliver

Wendon P                        the nature and dangers of Farnsworth radiation. ("Doctor Talk")

Mary M          1.1750          Nurse Sheraton banters with Dr Douglass about Coleman--who then
                                unexpectedly turns up in Sickbay. ("You Got Some 'Splainin' to Do")

Marc J/         1.1752          Douglass and Coleman clear the air between them. ("'Splainin'")
Mary M

Scott L         1.1822          Williams schedules a hasty appointment for Veld and brings him his
                                dinner, all foiled by the impatience of the appointment.
                                ("Digestus Interruptus")

Scott L/        1.1857          Veld gets a disturbing subspace comm from his Aunt Velma, who also

Mark M          2.0545          Howden and his staff continue to investigate the source (or sources)
                                of Farnsworth radiation emissions. ("Something Just Doesn't Add Up")

Scott L/        2.0822          Veld and CAPT Theros of ENDEAVOR discuss the situation on R-597 in

                                colonists from R-597.

Andrew F        2.0945          A signal from R-597 is detected by the comms crew.
                2.1000          Sefal reports that the signal made reference to an unknown group
                                called 'domestics' . . . ("Voices in the Distance")

Mark M          2.1025          Howden learns that one of the clouds is on an intercept course.

Scott L         2.1030          Veld wonders about the intelligence of the cloud itself as he
                                follows Howden's recommendation for an all-stop. ("Shifting
                                Paradigms")

Mark M          2.1445          Howden updates Veld on the movements and speed of the cloud.
                                ("Pushing the Boundaries in More Places than One")

Andrew F        2.1545          Sefal detects a transmission amidst the static emanating from
                                R-597, and realises it is directing the cloud. ("Patterns and,
                                um, just patterns")

Marc J          2.1600          Sparks and Coleman discuss the difficulty of evacuating the
                                colony. ("No Easy Task")

Andrew F/       2.1610          Sefal and Howden meet for the first time, and begin to ponder
Mark M                          the cloud: is it alive? a weapon? both? ("Weapon or Victim, You
                                Decide")

Andrew F/       2.1655          While discussing the possibilities of interfering with the signals
Mark M                          apparently controlling the cloud, Howden surprises Sefal by asking
                                her what she's doing after her shift. ("Pick-up Line?")

Andrew F/       2.1700          When the cloud accelerates towards CONSTELLATION, Sefal tries
Mark M                          to redirect it. She succeeds, but at what cost? ("Resistance is
                                NOT Futile")

Roger B         2.1700          On R-597, the mysterious Governor plots an attack on ENDEAVOR.

                                [[MD guesstimated]]

Roger B         2.1715          The natives of R-597 defend themselves against ENDEAVOR's counter-
                                attack. ("Sound the Vuvuzelas, Part III")
                                [[MD based on ENDEAVOR post "Shatter Attack" + 5 minutes]]

Jaired B/       ?.????          Yeoman Starkey meets LTJG Adeyemon, and both end up laughing as
Roger B                         Starkey has a 'wardrobe malfunction'. ("Doubled Over")
