That is a fair point and one I will be considering in the future. While I, as command, am willing to stay for faxes and such, I should be more ready to let anyone and everyone go

I have only been command on one odyssey round and here is the issue I faced: Being told no. We were to set up shop for construction workers for a NT wildlife site and I tried to involve the scientist and xenobotanist. Xenobot I offered on the basis of making sure we don't destroy any endangered flora, they decided no. Scientist was asked as a backup, they didn't understand how it pertained to them but did go for a bit. I admit my failing was involving service more. I will point out that, from an ic perspective, the entire ship should not be going down. We should maintain a token work force on the horizon because that's what makes sense.

Give Holly robots. Now. +1

Wait a moment...

Initial Interview with Ankala Ahzi - Concerning the Assault on the Reactor on Konyang

I enjoy interacting with you and your characters, they are a lot of fun! One thing I've learned is even an extended round can become chaos. We've got into ship battles, high intensity rescues, and God knows what science gets up to. As a xenoarchaeologist on a extended round, I almost sent us to red because of an anomalies silliness. While these are not snrag related, they can be extremely stressful! As the CMO that means you might still be the only head of staff on shift and need to get thr captains ID and lead security to the armory or take part in handling the hazard directly. You might be on the bridge ordering crewman around as solo command during a ship to ship battle. All in extended. Are you going to be okay with that?

Hello! Not part of the team but I wanna ask a couple things for fun! What is your Skrell's Social Credit Score? (Or Societal Contribution Index Score since I guess we're changing it!) Does your Skrell have a favorite food? Are they afraid to try alien foods while aboard or do they embrace these weird, new things? Did they have a pet? If so, what was it?

One pinch of access for the poor?

Thank you very much! I look forward to seeing how it works out!

Thanks for clarifying! Relshii'Zarq Juiqii-Yoi was born to the quya of Zarq'piqarii Yoi-Tiipis, a Nralakk Federation Consular who currently serves on board the SCCV Horizon around the year of 2395. Being born to a primary was no small privilege, but carried the great weight of expectation upon their shoulders to excel above others. One of their greatest motivators through their schooling was their Qraa'Myaq, Zarq'piqarii, who they admired for their work with other species across the cosmos and became a defining focus in their life. Seeking to emulate the great biologists of the Federation and finding their own path, Relshii-Zarq took the first opportunity to utilize the work exchange program through Zeng-Hu in order to experience alien cultures first hand, record their experiences, and eventually fill the shoes they felt were left for them by Zarq'piqarii. A Qro'vesi of Xenobiology and Archaeology (The study of historical artifacts, not anomalous items), their primary focus has been the study of xeno-societies both present and historical to continue mapping the unknown histories of species that have been wiped from the records. The chance to serve aboard the SCCV Horizon has been a gift for Relshii'Zarq, as it's allowed them to do something truly unique: Witness nearly every creed and type of people in the cosmos working together in one place. This has been a cultural experience unlike any other, one they frequently write home about, and work to understand the social interactions that take place in the hopes the Horizon might reveal a hint for universal peace between peoples. At present, Relshii'Zarq is seeking to become a Qu'vesi and is undertaking remote courses in Political Science with supplementary in Medicine to accent their knowledge of xenobiology. Slimes have become almost of a 'pet' to them, a loving thing they enjoy working with when the chance to study other species is not easily undertaken. Command came to them after seeking to take the next steps in their path to emulate the greatness of their much loved Qraa'Myaq: They began taking on Interim duties in order to understand the greater Research department and showing greater leadership capability than they even know they were capable. Most of this came through the monitoring and care of a scientist on staff who had memory issues (ScienceTM, I'm sorry I forget your name it's been a hot minute!) and working to ensure they received care while also working towards enabling their wonderous experiments. A natural leader taken note of by command on more than one occasion, they decided to take the next step and formally request evaluation for advancement. The election of Torvald has caused a slight shift in Relshii's opinion of Biesel, viewing them as regressive to the advancement of society and publicly speaking out against the replacement of the Vaurcan Affairs office with a non-vaurcan. Relshii has begun working more closely with Vaurcan staff, especially the Zo'rane hive as they are able, to see what assistance these peoples need and how they might be able to provide it (Or send missives to the Federation regarding the status of the Vaurca and possible efforts to aid a struggling peoples). They became, as a Qeblak worshipper, extremely interested in the eclipse of adhomai and the lore surrounding it and took time off to try and book passage to Crevus to witness the event first hand and record it to send to the Starkeepers. __ Karivamyrr Vealis'alrrym is, as she would describe it, a patriot. A Njarir who grew up in Little Adhomai after her family fled at the end of the first civil war, she was not well received by many of her neighbors and often treated with hostility and shoved to the side in favor of others. This was a rough upbringing until a group of Hadiists began to show an interest in her and she became a pet project of theirs: Can the Njarir be turned into a loyalist? What began as a swift indoctrination into the Hadiist methodology turned into true belief in the system. Word from Adhomai about all the wonders that the PRA was performing for their people, industrialization, canned goods, radios, and more... It was all too much to hope for! Seeing the failed reign of the nobility with disgust, Karivamyrr threw herself fully into becoming an advocate for Hadiism, going so far as to join the Hadiist Party of Biesel and becoming a strong advocate for Hadiism across the galaxy as the one true path towards advanced society. During her time in Little Adhomai she rapidly shifted from server to entertainer of a modest lounge, taking to the stage to sing and entertain the crowds after a long days work. Her education came from a trip to Adhomai, in which she accepted another managerial position at an establishment called The People's Choice, handling finances and keeping it operational while she went to college. During her college years she became involved in the local government scene, handing out flyers and volunteering for numerous events (And even performing at a few!) in order to help government projects. Her work and dedication, and the success she helped yield, was awarded upon her graduation with an honorary party membership which she wars with pride to this day. Her promotion to XO came from her hard work in the bars and a willingness to take on additional duties when crew were not present in the kitchen, taking up both spaces and working hard to ensure a fully functional ship and a happy crew. She has volunteered to take up interim several times, learning the ins and outs of ship board finances, access requests, and more. This dedication to learning has not gone unnoticed by the Captains she's served under and is what has awarded her the chance to seek her promotion into the highest echelon she will ever attain in the SCC. The election of Torvald was saw, in her eyes, as a good thing. The staunch conservatism and placing 'the right people in the right position' aligned well with her own mentality instead of a symbolic choice in government offices. The increase in military spending has saw her beginning to volunteer for remote PR campaigns, creating propaganda for Torvald to help with public image and ease the transition into what she believes is a "More right, though it's not Hadiism, method of governance". The eclipse brought no small amount of fear to her, being a religious individual, and caused her to request time off for the event so she could spend it in prayer with a sun sister. The rumors of Hadiist operations during the eclipse are seeing as merely part of routine 'society janitorial duty' and rooting out dissident elements. She barely batted an eye at this and tends to have a sharp tongue with anyone who brings it up to 'drop it if they know what is good for them' style of conversation.

BYOND key: Shajo Discord Username: vespergoldenrod Character names: Bumble & Bee (AI), Luna Nova (AI), Task, Raeze Srori, Rsair Akssohi, Naran Kholog, Juuri Xeouu'Quivii, Relshii'Zarq Juiqii-Yoi, Allesio D'Arco, Karivamyrr Vealis'alrrym, Myrravrah Hrro'Vidarri How long have you been playing on Aurora? 6-7 years, maybe a bit longer. Been off and on as life allows me to be here! Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? There are two notations on my account that are warnings from 2018, one for SSD in office at round start and the other for cryo'ing with all my gear. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame? The OOC purpose of a head of staff is to help the round flow, and I'll describe what I mean by that. Helping your departments and the crew as a whole achieve their goals for having fun for the round, acting as a communicator and point of contact during incidents, and ensuring that a gimmick doesn't get shut down right away so antags have a chance to do their thing and play their narrative. The second point of a head of staff is to add some reality to the departments, making them feel real and alive. Sometimes that comes down to paperwork, other times it's offering incentives and finding ways to facilitate what your department does or wants to do in a given round. Like for a chief engineer: Someone wants to learn more about outpost building, it could be you who decides to make a whole thing of it for engineering staff and take them off on a silly adventure for a time. To summarize: Communicate, Engage, and keep the round progressing in a fun manner. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them? The OOC responsibilities of command players are a lot greater than those who don't take up the mantle. You're trusted to help guide the narrative that players bring to the table, enabling their chosen rp to the best of your ability. You're accepting that you have a lot of power that you can wield and are making a promise to not abuse it or other players. You're making a promise to help push a narrative and providing that touchstone in which the community can interact with and enhance their own roleplay. You are what can make or break an entire round through your choices of interaction and are promising you will be cautious with how you wield said power within the round. My thoughts on upholding this are quite simple and typically are set as being a community standard: Don't be a turd, be considerate, and be thoughtful. When it comes to interactions with characters, just because something seems fishy doesn't mean we should jump on it right away. Sometimes you need to overlook things for sake of a greater narrative and watch how they play out. I would seek to find their interests, what drives them as the characters they play, and try to work with that in a way that enhances their own roleplay through being allowed a greater ability to be the character they want to be. With antags especially, I will be considerate and patient. I will allow them more leeway to get away with things and present their narrative until such a time as action is forced into play against them. (See how I've been handling antags with my ai's lately, flicking lights or taking photos rather than calling them out instantly, giving them time to slip away and cause more mischief). And as always I would strive to simply be pleasant and approachable, especially if someone feels something is off, to find the best answer that continues driving story forward. Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon. Recent events in the spur have, for what affects Karivamyrr, have been relatively limited. The election of Torvald has caused her to swell with renewed pride as military spending has been increased (A popular opinion of hers which reflects the military advancements of the PRA, seeing it as a mirror of the PRA's own glory) and only strengthened her resolve and employment with NanoTrasen. The eclipse, on the other hand, cast a shadow over her that boded ill. A religious individual, she viewed the eclipse and its coming as a herald of darkness and felt it more deeply as she was aboard the Horizon at the time. It's given her a new perspective of the cosmos, that no matter where she is… Raskara's shadow can still reach her, which has only pushed her to be more deeply faithful. These events have, for the most part, truly solidified her opinion on the SCC as a whole and was one of the main reasons she finally came to work for NanoTrasen. The bond between NT and the PRA being what it is, there was little other logical path for high career advancement. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Executive Officer, Research Director. May work in a consular some day but that's not a short term goal. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? You bet! Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Karivamyrr, Relshii-Zarq Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes Have you linked your BYOND account to the Forums? Yup! Extra notes: I don't play on weekends so if you're going to trial me, please extend the time so it basically 'skips' over the weekend (If it would be 5 days starting on a friday, please make it 7). I only play monday-friday. It's possible I misunderstood the 'recent events' question as well, please let me know if you wish further information on this and I am super happy to go into more detail!

If you leave on an expedition you should plan for the strange and unexpected, I fully support this!

Had to come back after an utterly insane extended round where an anomaly decided to spawn in those big mouthy horrors and like a million gremorians and CE Fletcher really stepped up to help, kept in good contact, and remained involved in the ongoing situation and went through appropriate escalations through the entire round. Honestly it was 10/10 on their part, from start to finish, and they kept the crew updated with announcements. +10
