<p>I'm proposing an Andorian security officer. He can also double as an armory officer and/or a tactical officer if nobody else fills those roles. He is a quiet, unassuming man... unremarkable except for the fact that he has a small tarsier-like creature native to Andoria usually perched on his shoulder. Pets in most starship operations are usually against federation policy, but the creature is classified as a "service animal" such as those used to help people with disabilities. What disability the creature is helping to overcome, however, isn't readily apparent.</p>Hey Joe and Ruprecht, this is Slick from CBR.

<p>Just for reference, mostly. Role-play will cover 95% of forward plot momentum. In general, if you write a compelling piece of the story about your character getting something done, that's all that matters. The "big stuff",(like what a phaser blast does when it hits a target, or how a major NPC reacts to you) will be handled by dice behind the GN screen.</p>
<p>Fun collaborative story is the important part.</p>
<p>Updating ussaubrey.blogspot.com tonight. Will add crew manifest as we get folks onboard.</p>
