Beware of short response: Solid player, RPer, and community member. Really have no criticism, been in a few rounds with Rutherford and they're a solid character. +1

Reporting Personnel: Avril Perreault Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Corporate Representative Game ID: coC-dBZ2 Personnel Involved: Valentine Sanhueza, Physician (Victim) Johnny Cox, Security Officer (Witness) Ruder Crilma, Off-Duty Crew Member (Offender) Secondary Witnesses: Amelia Dresden, Physician (Witness) Avril Perreault, Corporate Representative (Other, Reporter at behest of victim) Time of Incident: 01:30 (APPROX, SHIP TIME) Real Time: 8:45 PM Eastern Standard Time (Approx) Location of Incident: Medbay, Surgical Hallway Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [X] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ ] - Misconduct [X] - Other: Gross Negligence Overview of the Incident: Prior to the incident, Ruder Crilma was spotted a number of times by Doctor Sanhueza within the medbay without authorization from medical staff whilst off-duty on 2465-7-4. Despite multiple reported sightings within restricted areas, medical staff were mostly unaware of their presence and unable to have them removed. During an on-going medical emergency, Doctor Sanhueza was in the process of transporting a patient to the surgical theater at approximately 1:30 (ST / SHIP TIME). Ruder Crilma then unexpectedly dove from the 3rd level medical rafters with a large metal object in hand and landed directly on top of Doctor Sanhueza causing considerable and potentially permanent injuries in the process. Fortunately, Doctor Sanhueza did not sustain any permanent injuries due to the incident. Ruder Crilma did not show malice or intent to cause harm but still acted negligently, causing substantial injuries to both themselves and Doctor Sanhueza. These actions not only endangered Doctor Sanhueza but also that of their patient who required urgent surgical care, and also slowing down medical operations in the process. Medical treatment was provided to both Crilma and Doctor Sanhueza, thereafter both were discharged promptly with no need for surgical intervention. After the medical emergency had been fully resolved, Doctor Sanhueza attempted to seek investigation with security, but on-shift ISD was slow to react and Ruder Crilma returned to the residential deck before any further investigation could be conducted. Submitted Evidence: No physical evidence could be recovered due to circumstances out of both the victim's and security's control. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [X] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Leonides Montaigne-Ramsteinn, Head of Security Actions taken: None, suspect returned to the residential deck before further investigations could proceed regarding the incident. Additional Notes: THIS INCIDENT REPORT WAS SUBMITTED AT THE BEHEST OF VALENTINE SANHUEZA (Scheveningen) BY AVRIL PERREAULT (Kaizr).

Sounds like an awesome idea, and we don't exactly NEED a new ship every time given the fact that we could just fight a space brick unless boarding is within the scope of these events. I'm certain there are plenty of people willing to put together simple space-boats for the crew to battle during these sim-events. I'd be more than happy to do it if need be.

No way, Sycmos moment?! I have nothing extra to add that hasn't already been said regarding Sycmos' writing capabilities and personality. They've demonstrated time and time again that they'd be a great fit for the synthetic development team. Great person, great writer, simple as. +1 from cowboy synth player #91827-B.

Reporting Personnel: Lillian O'Doyle Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Research Director Game ID: clh-arPH Commended Personnel: - Asher, Shaft Miner - Leo Barnes, Shaft Miner Witnesses: - Vasiliy Sokolov, Shaft Miner Witnessed the show of bravery, selflessness, and teamwork between Asher and Leo Barnes when they were attacked by autonomous droids and mutated space carp during a mining expedition. Time of Commendable Act: Between 02:00 and 03:30 Ceti Standard Time Real Time: Between 1015PM Eastern Standard Time and 11:00PM Eastern Standard Time (Presumably) Location of Act: Borulai-Lambda, Mineral Dense Asteroid Overview: While undergoing a standard mining operation on Borulai-Lambda, a mineral dense asteroid located near the SCCV Horizon's designated patrol sector, both Asher and Leo Barnes exhibited extreme dedication to both the company and Stellar Corporate Conglomerate at large while displaying selflessness in the face of mortal danger. Shaft Miner Leo Barnes was attacked and severely wounded by one of the most dangerous sub-species of space carp, a reaver. Despite suffering a broken arm and severe lacerations from the encounter, Mister Barnes prioritized his work and was assisted by Asher in continuing the mining operation alongside Mister Sokolov. The trio then happened upon an abandoned outpost wherein they engaged a salvage operation and fought off a swarm of autonomous synthetics that severely damaged Asher's frame and wounded Barnes further. Despite all of this Asher and Barnes attained nearly 3x the standard material yield for a typical mining expedition and acquired a plethora of data, esoteric equipment, and items for the research team. This massive yield subsequently expanded the research team's ability to partake in typically cost prohibitive experiments in the field of weapons testing, autonomous EVA life support systems, and much more. I can confidently say that their actions go above and beyond the standard set for mining staff working within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, taking much greater risks than is expected of them for the sake of progressing the SCCV Horizon's mission of research and phoron discovery.

WHOA!!! BEAR IS A SCALIE!?!?!??!?! REAL!?!?!? Looks like he's finally been cured of his chronic furryitis and is now instead becoming a scalie. Jokes aside Bear is without a question one of the best role-players I've ever met, boasting a broad portfolio of distinctive and special characters. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he'll make a fine addition to the hisser brigade. +1.01

Just gonna add a teeny tiny note: As someone who was playing engineering that round, the level of destruction was MORE than enough.

NO WAY! Nienna becoming a lizard player!? REAL!? Provenance & Gulrez are two amazing synthetic characters and Nienna is an awesome person overall. I can't begin to describe the amount depth behind their characters which makes each and every one of them unique and fun to engage with. A big old +1.5 from me!

Having known Clem for upwards of a year and experiencing the plethora of characters they have to offer I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Clem would make a fantastic addition to the command team. +1.5

Warning! Hot take ahead! As of now, I have no major issues with Unathi lore as it stands. While one might argue that it's stagnated over time, that argument no longer applies as development has once again spurred through news articles. My biggest gripe with it is the current Grim Compact lore, and I've gone into detail with my opinion and some of the changes that I would like to see implemented in a post above. Lore developers for the various species' working together is critical to ensuring a coherent and realistic lore setting. I personally love the way each species intertwines with the universe around them, and there is always room to expand on it. (Sorry if this answer seems short, not much to say!) I fully understand, and have no issues with that! When you take up a development position you make a commitment to the team and to not follow through on it without good reason is disingenuous. I fully plan to follow through on this commitment to both the team and the community to ensure that the lore continues to expand at a healthy rate.

Interesting question! Overall, I personally am not a huge fan the "gritty" nature of the lore and how it dominates nearly everything that takes place. As you said, suffering and despair have found their ways into almost every aspect of the lore. However, does that mean I want to see it changed? No. Do I dislike it? No. In regards to Unathi? I think it's a breath of fresh air, as the lore certainly takes after some more fantastical and unique themes, many of which I mentioned in my arc. It's a pleasant step away from the usual doom and gloom without feeling forced or unrealistic in the setting. So in all, I would like to see Unathi lore continue as is because it offers a unique and diverse world to explore through RP. Lil' sidenote, sorry if the answer doesn't meet expectations! It's a great question, and admittedly one that I had a lot of trouble formulating a good answer to without making it sound like I hate the Auroraverse lore or something along those lines.

I like to think of myself as smart-ish when it comes to these kinds of statements, but I will have to ask you to clarify what you mean by this. 😅 Is the question about my thoughts on how Unathi fit into the Aurora?

Having quickly given it a once over, I personally agree with a lot of the things brought up. Especially some of the concepts brought up by DeadLantern & Boggle. Like a few others stated, the Grim Compact has a notable issue with fitting into the universe the lore team has created. It's a fantastical, and in all honesty somewhat odd tale of two star-crossed lovers with various inconsistencies along the way. While this isn't innocuous to the lore, it is in need of some changes. Overall, however, the concept at face-value is a very good one! As for what changes I would personally like to see with the Compact? There's a few things: Cultural Changes - It's been decades, and the Sinta'Unathi who serve within the Compact lack any defining cultural traits, and the fleets overall feel like slightly different variants of the other. We receive little in the realm of the distinct cultures among each crew despite vastly different leadership styles, and I really think this is a topic that could be touched up. Hashing out how these seasoned pirates differ from the normal Unathi is no doubt something that needs to take priority. Adding More Notable Characters - I personally feel that while the Grim Compact's premise is that of two lovers running a pirate fleet, we hear nothing about the smaller players in this Compact. Fleets of nearly 70 warships a piece can't be governed by one individual. I feel that the addition of lower ranking yet influential characters would be a healthy way to diversify the lore and bring a fresh topic to work with in the future. More Player Character Accessibility - As stated in the aforementioned thread, adding more variability to the Grim Compact in the way of sub-factions, leader figures, or possibly even expanding it into different sub-fleets would allow players to make much more unique and engaging characters. The Compact is evidently, not the most organized of groups, hence representing that through the portrayal of different factions and microcultures among said factions provides the players much more breathing room compared to what we currently have. Now! There isn't much else I can say without repeating what others have said, these are all very barebones and basic ideas that I am yet to truly delve into. To sum it up: Diversify the lore, give it some more bulk and character. The Grim Compact is an amazing baseline that I personally think just needs a rework to truly shine.

Ckey/BYOND Username: Kaizr Position Being Applied For: Unathi Lore Deputy Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page?: Yes. Past Experiences/Knowledge: Unfortunately, I have no prior experience in this field. I’ve done a fair share of worldbuilding and lore writing for DND campaigns and the likes, but other than that I am green. However, I wish to start somewhere, and I feel that this position is an ample opportunity to begin my journey. Examples of Past Work: And again, as I’ve never worked in these positions, I have no examples of prior work in this particular field. I am willing to dig into some recent things I’ve written recently if that provides a frame of reference. Special Requirement: Additional Comments: I’ve near fully written out the arc above with a roadmap, articles, and events, but I will not be sharing it here as I was advised not to. Please note that it IS VERY BAREBONES and there is a lot to work out with the concept, but I am always willing to add to it! However, as this may come up, I must mention my past. I had a troubled first few months on Aurora, and have done things that I have regret. I've touched on it in many places and entirely understand my mistakes and how they affected others. Once more, I am sorry. There is nothing I can do but say sorry, move on and better myself. I am confident that I am ready to step up to this position, but I also understand that my past will shadow me for the rest of my time here.
