Player Of the Month:

David

David has shown consistent involvement. His efforts with the Vulcan ship side plot have earned him the deserved recognition this month.


Post of the Month:

2422.01.20.01 - Cat "Happy day for a happy cat" ~ Hope


Quote of the Month:

Sera barely heard it before something rubbed against her leg. The normal control of her limbic system was compromised, so she was unable to subdue the reflexive reaction of scrambling backwards to get away from the unknown stimulus. She hit the wall of the stairwell and very effectively knocked the air out of her lungs and slid down the wall to her posterior. As she scrabbled for purchase, she felt the rubbing again, only this time against her thigh, and whatever was doing it elicited a small sound.


“Meow.”

~ Hope
