Day four of no sleep.
No hallucinations yet. Surprisingly not very tired either. I've been sort of productive as i've slowly went out of my mind. Been catching up on some back reading i've meant to do for a long while. Polished off four books so far. Got a huge stack of comics to read next.

A cast of thousands
I play a lot of fake people in and around BF.
Some people ask em how i do it. Do i have a life? Well yes i do certainly have a life. It's not like it's an impossible task or anything. I just enjoy the multitudes that i play enough that sometimes when i see a game i realize i got someone else inside who wants to come out. The Hammer family started that way. First it was Jon. Then his little brother James. Now i can hear the dad somewhere inside there trying to get out.
Maybe i'm just crazy. :)

I wanna know how this one ends.
[Bridge]
[Venture Star]
[Near earth]
Cash felt his hands rip the arms of his chair tighter as earth came into view on the screen. Behind him scotty and kayvin were working on something to punch through the interference in subspace no doubt ordered by kirok. They fleet was advancing slowly in two minutes they would be in weapons range of S2 and the other stations and defenses of earth. The largest essemblage of EDF ships since the war was poised along with everything else.
"Aye i think that's got it lass!" Scotty said with excitement as the static filled supspace band used by civilians suddenly cleared. He walked up and patted the admiral on the shoulder. He was about to give the most important speech of his life..of possibly anyone's life.
"Your on sir." Scotty said and then went back to the engineering station with kayvin to keep the channel open.
Bryan exhaled the breath he had been holding and stood. He walked forward a few paces and then nodded to scotty. Venture Star was now broadcasting to the entire sol system.
"This is Admiral Bryan Cash. Lead authority of a multi planet force of ships. We are here on the authority of the CnC of Star Fleet the remaining members of the federation council the governments of vulcan Quonos Andor and earth, that can no longer stand silent witness as one of the greatest organizations in the history of time falls into darkness and murderous chaos. We are here on behalf of you and the millions of innocent civilians Starved.....no murdered! under orders from the current joke of an administration which hides nothing but a thinly veiled dictator. We come on behalf of those who have no one else to speak for them or are to scared to say or do anything, and on behalf of the Star Fleet ships and crews that have joined us to oppose the tyranny that has darkened Earth, ever since President Spock was murdered almost four years ago now. We are here to place Sam Kirok under arrest, to disband the EDF, and return the federation government to the hands of the people. We know that many in the government and star fleet have wanted to act, but have been intimidated or threatened with retaliation against your families, your friends.
You are not alone in this anymore we stand with you. We call upon you to rise up and do what's right! We will fight and do all we can to disabled them. The time to act is now! It has been said i am a traitor and want power for myself......This is not the voice of treason. We are your friends! Your family your one time neighbors! We have come back home to do what is right to stand up for what we believe in! We have come home to end the nightmare! Stand up and fight with us for this is the end of the hopelessness! This is the beginning of a new era! This is Futility's End!" Nodding for the transmission to be cut cash walked back to his chair and sat.
"Weapons hot. Lets do this." Tapping the go code into the arm of his chair the signal spread to the fleet. The real fight had begun.

Futility's End
I have such a love for the FE'verse that i can't even describe it. Every time i close my eyes and think about it everything seems to come alive with such a vivid clarity. I can see them all in my minds eye. Cash and Taylor,Davies and all the rest. It sometimes is scary at how well i can see and hear them all. when i read a Dan Taylor post. I can ehar the fleet admiral talking in my head.
When Irish posts to starlight i can hear her light irish brough come through clearly. It sometimes amazes me at how well the people of FE mesh together when posting. Almost like that hive mind is really going and we all know what the other one is going to do next.
Sometimes makes ya wish it wasn't in your head but in the theaters.
FE an epic six part movie series. ;)

Expedition Fleet
All i think Expedition Fleet needs right now is a more solid core of players telling great tales together. The base of those are starting to form up pretty good with a few recent additions to the team. Once the website is up and it's linked to the forums and infobase things will really start coming together even more.
I find myself not trying to directly copy the Futility's End template for quality and success but trying to build Expedition Fleets own take on it. I've got to lay down that first good solid plot for things and get the others aboard to make the universe cohesive. One group one world. Venture Star should be the model for all future EF sims so i guess i had better get things kicking over there first. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of my "golden" players are playing hooky. So possibly so excitment should be in order to engage them better.
Keep on Trekkin

How bout this
It began like so many things........
With the birth of an idea.....
An idea for a ship never before conceived.......
A ship capable of some much more then simple exploration.....
The dream was tested......almost left to the sands of time.....
Until one man fought to make it a reality!
Re discover the final frontier all over again!

The times they are a changing
Pretty soon ill be heading back to school.
Going to finish a degree i started way back when. Which means i'm going to have less time for this wonderful INTERNET stuff. Especially the day to day operations of Futility's End. Soooo that means the return of everyone's favorite FECO Dan Taylor to the halls of the BFA. It's not much of a change for FE at all. We both still weild absolute power over FE only the pain in the ass of sitting on the BFA rests with the other guy. ;) It actually will give me more time to devote to being EFCO and getting that group moving now that the new trek movie is almost upon us all.
So change a couple of letters around for me and....start saluting Dan again in a little bit.
Keep on trekkin.
