This time of year is rapidly becoming a time of remembrances for me. Another new year without my brother and father. Now another new year without mom. Seems like the lord has a jones about collecting Chadwicks lately. heh heh. I'm not really sad anymore that they've passed. I've gotten over my sad feelings and moved on in life like i know they all would have wanted me to.
It's just strange the situation i find myself in. I live in alex's old house. Now filled with moms old furniture and fixtures with a new wife and hopefully family soon. I'm basically Alex MKII In his Futility's End and Expedition Fleet online life. I never thought i would have lasted as long as i did with the whole thing. I never liked writing much before and still don't think i'm all that good at it.
It was an eventful real life year. I got married decided to go back to school to finish one of my two degrees i started. Bought myself a few nice things i've always wanted. A new truck and a new car for the wife.
The online life was interesting to. I actually killed Admiral Cash in Futility's End. I restarted Expedition Fleet and recast the cash character with someone besides fonzie. Finished the civil war arc in FE. And so much more.
like Captain Kirk said.
"It was.......fun" :)

Next Great Step
The announcement. :D
Greetings to you fellow EF'ers! For a while now you've been teased and told that some changes had been planed for ol Expedition fleet. Well the wait is finally over to see what those changes are going to be! Effective with the opening of the infobase and the unveiling of the Expedition fleet web site you'll see that EF is going to embrace certain design elements and story plots dealing with the brand new Star Trek Movie coming out in May of next year. It's an exciting time in Star Trek Fandom and embracing the elements of the new movie puts EF in the right position to massively benefit from the scope and marketing of the film.
Now i know some aren't so sure about canon details in the movie. Let me assure you EF will be creating a hybridized EF canon from what we already have established and what we will start to establish in regards to the new film as we learn more info about it. This won't be a magical "Hey look! Everything in EF is just like the movie suddenly!" It's going to be a more organic slide into certain new things for EF. Firstly the new style uniform for example. After Venture Star comes back from her maiden voyage the first thing she's going to deal with is the quarter master issuing out the new style uniforms to wear. It'll be a nice simple progression of things from there. We'll deal with these new fangled phaser weapons being installed on ship's of the line. Eventually rolling out hand phasers for crews to "test" You'll still have the same bridge on your ship if your GM wants it to stay the old way. The individual ship insignia stay the same. You'll still be able to perform the same classic trek missions we all know and love. This is going to be the same EF you all signed up for when we first started. Just kicked up a few notches to appeal to a winder range of people.
A lot of people have been working very hard to spruce up our infobase and design a beautiful new website for us in EF. I hope you all join me in thanking them for all the hard work and dedication they put in for us. Firstly Dan taylor for making it all work so smoothly. Futility's end's own "THE" Doc for the wonderful new infobase and our Mr.SparrowHawk here for the fantastic new EF website that we should all see very soon. This is a great new step for EF and one that positions us for a solid footing from here to the future.
Yours

Sneak peek.
Tomorrow sometime the EF changes are revealed to the world. Tonight a special sneak peak at the new face of Captain Bryan Cash. ;)
I think he works out pretty good for my version of the good captain. He has a nice look about him and just a hint of what's to come in the corner of his eye. :)
Buckle up!

NuCash
I finally decided that with the changes coming down the pipe for Expedition Fleet that my version of Captain Bryan Agustus Cash deserved a face all his own. So after much searching and trying to choose i finally decided on a new face for our captain. Watch this space for the unveiling of the new cash after the first of the changes for EF are announced.

End of line
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry passed away in her home at 12:27am this morning after a battle with leukemia. She was 76 years old.
You loved her as the other of counselor Troi. You wished Mr.Spock would admit to having feeling for nurse chapel. You expect to hear her familiar voice when you query a federation computer. She was the voice of the enterprise and she will be missed.
Warp Speed number one.

Venture Star
As i sit here on vacation i stare out at that crystal clear ocean my mind wanders to thoughts of fantasy. I really love the opening monologue that alex wrote for Venture Star all that time ago.
"Space. . . The Pinnacle of man's Final Journey, The Greatest of unknowns. This is the journey of the Starship VENTURE STAR. Her five year mission to patrol and defend the Federation frontier, visit worlds not yet set foot on,by the feet of men, to brave the vastness of the last, great dark unknown."
It really is well put together and flows nice. I've had a million and one bursts of inspiration while i've been relaxing. I can't wait to come back refreshed and really give Venture Star quite the run.
Keep on trekkin

Expedition Fleet
We've got some really fun things coming down the pipeline for EF. Middle December to early jan is looking to be pretty amazing. Sort of a mini reboot to the EF universe that should make us stand out and bring a lot of fun to the TOS realm. Keep watching the blog here for some lil tid bits I'll be sharing to tease the coming changes. ;)
