Dragon’s bridge crew heard him coming, and made sure their gazes were fixed forward to their consoles, for a gaze anywhere but your duties was dangerous on this ship. Crewmembers are the same the galaxy over, though, and over time they learned to pick up on Lord Kruge’s mood just by the sound...

...Which leads to an interesting thought - Will Decker is at the very least second generation StarFleet, so I wonder if he's not consciously making the decisions to be more laid back. The era of the five-year missions is over (IIRC, Enterprise's was the last one) and the buccaneers have moved...

Darth, This kind of ties in with another discussion I had about crew dynamics in the MikeyVerse - and that's that StarFleet seems to have no real problem keeping crews together as long as they want....and in this case, I believe that worked against Will Decker. It seems to me - YMMV, of...

Captain General, Eric, and Darth - Thanks very much for your thoughts - something I've tried to touch on in TLS is what happens when a Legend not only has to deal with his past, but has to start accepting that the world is moving on. Kirk may be a Galactic Hero, but he had to do some...well...

Kujo, Thank you very much, it's appreciated! Mike

...The Flag Quarters on Blue Ridge were what was often referred to as Starfleet Nice - on Earth they would still be considered somewhat basic, but out here they were positively luxurious, and even though Jim Kirk was used to comfortable surroundings on Enterprise this, he had to admit, was...

Funny thing is that as Shakespearian as the Klingons can be, they really aren't too excited about his work - with the exception of Marshal Chang, who can't get enough of him. The main reason for that is that the Klingons would have usually seen through a Shakespeare villain in no time at all...

Darth, I don't think anybody has ever just had the kind of sheer fun that is possible with the Klingon civilization. The trick here is to make whatever you come up with consistent with what we know. It's going to get even more fun, promise. :) Mike

Kirk trotted down the corridor, weaving through the other shuttle passengers and shooting a quick glance at his wrist chrono only to discover for the fourth time in the last couple minutes that he was, indeed, still late. Half turning, half skidding around one final corner, Kirk saw the...

Captain-General, This is the original story; I'm trying to get myself amped up to get started on it again after a long hiatus - it never fails that when I'm writing something, I'll get to a seemingly innocuous part that just stops me dead in my tracks, and that's where I'm at now with ST:TLS...

The barkeep brought over a bloodwine for Maltz, and he and Kruge sipped their cups for a moment, while the others in the bar went back to looking everywhere but at them. It was Maltz who finally broke the silence. “I could say no.” Kruge contemplated that briefly. “You could. You’d also not...

The look on Bill Smillie’s face was one of mounting anger, but he somehow kept his voice under control as he said, “Spock, this is not a discussion we need to be having -” Spock’s gaze was like two phasers at close range. “On the contrary, Admiral, so let me make my position plain - I have...

There was utter, complete, and absolute silence around the conference table for far, far too long until Spock finally and mercifully broke it. “Admiral Smillie,” he said quietly, “I fail to understand why it is necessary to recover the wreck under the extraordinarily hazardous conditions it...

It is well known that there is no devil in Klingon mythology. And after all, as any good Klingon will tell you, they don’t need one. But they do have dragons. Or more properly, puv lung. Qo’noS has a wide and terrifying variety of avian life, but long before the first Klingon stood on its...

AUTHOR’S NOTE: The geography of SFHQ has a bit of a starring role in this installment; so let me give a ROUGH idea of where everything is. Starfleet now (2291) owns both sides of the Golden Gate, though there are still many parks and rec areas open to the public. North Post – the north side...

...They were called, long ago, Fort Baker and Fort Barry – ‘coast defense’ sites for the old US Army, intended to stop someone trying to invade San Francisco. Of course, when aircraft were invented, they were instantly obsolete but that didn’t stop the Army from hanging onto them well into the...

PunchCard, Thank you so much!

...For reference, the Clio class DDGX. Yellow alert is a slightly less insistent sound than the nightmare-sound buzzwhoop that accompanies Red, but it’s still an unforgettable reminder – something very bad may or may not happen, so it’s best to be ready, don’t you think? Poseidon’s crew...

....I promised Our Empress that I'd start putting some things up here, and one does not disappoint Our Empress. :D A little background: The story's - you'll pardon the expression - Genesis is in the early 80s, with a remarkable game called Star Fleet Battles. Still widely regarded as the...
