Apogee Requests!

[kowaiyoukai]

Ok, so I need an idea for a mission and I need it FAST. I thought I had one that worked but as it turns out, I don't. What can you do? So if there's something you've been wanting to see in Apogee, let me know! Preferably a general mission so I can edit accordingly. Like, if I had to describe 6's mission, I'd say "mystery space disease forces ground

Re: Mission Ideas (& random thoughts)

The whole "random thought about love poetry/lit" came from Spock's internal thoughts about how Vulcans view interpersonal relationships (i.e., Uhura is the logical choice, but not the emotional one). I can totally see Jim fumbling around trying to explain why humans don't do things like that and Spock wanting documentation/ examples of human thoughts and behavior in this area. (Tho, the really sappy tru wuv poems make me gag, I was thinking more of the angsty UST sorts, which would show how logical choices can make people miserable.)

Never really liked Chapel mooning over Spock in TOS (his throwing the plomeek soup in Amok Time still makes me laugh), but she was kinda nifty in sick bay as a foil for Bones. I never understood Rand either -- yeah, she was kinda Kirk's PA but spent most of her time drooling after him (even as a kid I was disgusted). I've read reboot fic lately where she's got more depth, which has made her more appealing.

I could see Rand being sent along (yes, after they've already left -- pick her up at the next Starbase) to ensure that all those reports are done correctly, kinda Starfleet regs in person peering over Kirk's shoulder. All the brass wasn't that thrilled with giving Kirk a starship, so having a nitpicker assigned to keep him in line would make sense.

Uhura's going to need someone to spell things out for her; Chapel and Rand were the only two canon female characters that came to mind. *shrug* She's gotta have a few friends on board, right? Maybe create a random OC to fill the void? Who does she whine to about her lack of romantic/sexual progress with Spock?

I've got plans in place for Jim trying to describe why love is emotional and irrational to Spock. I like the love poems idea, but who knows if I'll be able to fit it in or not? It's a nice scene though, I can see it really clearly in my head. *ponders*

Chapel and Rand both bothered the shit out of me in TOS. I'd rather not include them if I don't have to, although I might be able to do something incredibly humorous with Chapel being a Spock fangirl and Rand being a Kirk fangirl and their epic arguments. XP

LMAO, I doubt Starfleet would send Rand as someone to watch Kirk's actions closely. I'll need to consider exactly what to do here, but I think the lack of officers and such in Starfleet currently would make it difficult to add more crew members right now. IDEK, I'll see what happens.

Who knows what Uhura does in her free time? I haven't thought about it too much. I guess it'll come up in the next Othersides and then we'll ALL know. *shrugs*

BTW, you have some nifty icons. <3
