Welcome aboard the USS Missouri!
Vis Ad Libertatem (Strength for Freedom)
Vis Ad Libertatem (Strength for Freedom)
The year is 2400. Across the Federation, people are gathering to ring in not just the new year, but the new century. For those gathering at Camp Khitomer, there are more reasons to celebrate, for in less than a week's time, the shakedown cruise of a brand new Bellerophon class starship is set to commence, marking the return of a legendary name; the USS Missouri, made famous by the third Iowa class battleship of Earth's Second World War, and in more recent years by the adventures of Kagami Izumi.The officer selected to lead this momentous occasion was Commander Patricia Cooke, granddaughter of Major Francine Cooke, who served aboard the Excelsior class USS Missouri during the Dominion War and distant descendant of Fireman 1st Class Harry Francis Cooke, who served aboard the legendary Iowa class battleship in World War II. Now, over 450 years later, Patricia is the third Cooke to serve aboard a Missouri and the first Cooke to command one.
However, just hours into the new year, jubilation turns to terror when I-400, an artificial intelligence developed as a galactic peacekeeping initiative, attacks the New Year's party, declaring there to be only one path to peace: The Federation's extinction.
With I-400 now on the loose, the Missouri's shakedown cruise is expedited, with Cooke given orders to track down and stop I-400. However, it won't be easy, as the galaxy is a large place, and even the Missouri might not be fast enough to stop I-400.
The USS Missouri is a Play-by-Nova Star Trek roleplaying game set in the year 2400. Our mission is to investigate the weird and wacky, from Rogue AI to years-old cold cases. We are currently serving in Theta Fleet under Area 51 and are under the command of Commander Patricia Cooke. Our content rating is "2/2/2" or "18+"

Hey, all you Missourians!
This is your captain, Patricia Cooke, speaking: Here to inform you that we will be changing URLs, leaving behind the last URL carried by our predecessor sim.
Some research by fleet personnel has suggested that for some firewalls, a .net site is harder to reach than a .com site. As such, we will be migrating to a .com domain.
The USS Missouri can now be found at https://missouri.harperhold.com so please make sure you update your bookmarks. https://missouri.sim-station.net will still be available for now, but the migration will be formalized later this year, as the sim-station.net domain…

Karen wasn't sure this was a good idea...
As a now three-time mother, Karen knew pretty well what contractions were when she felt them. She had been trying to time them when she received a message from Commander Nixon. Even though she was fairly sure her water was about to break, Karen hobbled her way down to the Commander's office to see what he wanted.
Joe looked up from his desk. He had wanted to meet the Quartermaster to introduce himself and see how things were prior to him coming onto the ship. He looked with eyes open.

ON
Walls tremble with fear,
footsteps hush, rifles are raised
the siege has begun.
Shattered glass lay strewn about the marble floor, desks lay overturned, papers were scattered chaotically across the floor. A tight cluster of hostages sat with their backs against the wall, eyes fixed on their captors. Across the floor amongst the glass and paper lay the bodies of Federation Marines, shot at point blank.
The terrorists paced with efficiency with disruptor rifles in hand. They had secured their positions near the entries and exits and around the hostages. Their leader, a craggy man with a white stripe…

Previously, on Star Trek: Missouri:
"And indeed we shall:" Patricia declared, turning to Katrina. "The Icarus and Apollo are Vesta and Odyssey classes respectively, correct?"
"That is correct," Katrina affirmed in her monotonic drone. "The Apollo was recently refit, as well. While we can utilize their transporter rooms, we should also consider the possibility of using their cargo bays to increase evacuation capacity."
And now, the conclusion:
Patricia nodded.
"Then we'll have to take advantage of their greater transporter capabilities to move greater numbers of colonists than we can." Patricia explained. "On our first run, we'll need to get boots…

Previously, on Star Trek: Missouri:
Next through the door was one of the few longer-serving faces on the Missouri, Lieutenant Yeager, followed by two civilians who appeared to be Cardassian in physiology. As Charlie proceeded to take one of the remaining seats, the civilians approached Patricia:
"Will I-402 be joining us?" Patricia asked.
"Unfortunately not." The male responded. "She has requested not to be disturbed."
"Unfortunate indeed." Patricia nodded, motioning to the filling table. "Best to grab a seat before they're all taken."
And now, the continuation:
Seeing that the room had been filled, Katrina nodded to herself. Though she…

The scope of what Patricia had lost hadn't truly hit until she looked over her manifest to find it nigh unrecognizable from when the Missouri set off. The amount of officers she had gone through was staggering, and most of the present crew were only recent arrivals.
Perhaps the Missouri curse had some truth to it after all, Patricia thought as she arrived to the senior staff briefing that had been organized under one XO, and would be overseen by another.
The doors swooshed open, the small footsteps on the grey carpet came from Lt Cmdr Star, the newest Chief…

Chief Counsellors Log Number One, Lieutenant JG Eradaar Ezazzan speaking.
It has been a week since I departed the USS Poseidon and left my mate, Lieutenant Lazarus Kord, behind. Whilst we have kept close contact with one another, I would be greatly remiss in stating anything other than a great sadness at our parting. Lazarus has been my rock and foundation since the very inceptions of our feelings for one another. I understand now a few things about us, about our situation and uniqueness.
Lazarus was an outcast in his own home. His situation I cannot state here openly, but…
