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 Seaman 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…

Previously, on Star Trek: Missouri:
"GO!" I-402 shouted. "Get out of here! You have people to protect!"
"Hate to side with that thing, but she's got a point, Commander!" Akira appealed.
Katrina watched I-400 and I-402 with a smirk. She highly doubted she could defeat the AI head on, so she was, contrary to I-400's assessment, not stupid enough to try. Instead, her plan had (mostly) worked perfectly, and she took some satisfaction in that. It had given I-402 a brief window in which to strike, and she'd taken it. Yet, now that she had, Katrina found herself wanting to…

Previously, on Star Trek: Missouri:
“Captain…” he said, quieter now but deadly serious. “If we don’t pull her back from the brink, Icarus is going to break in half.”
"How much time does she have left?" Patricia asked. If this transfer wasn't going to be possible, they needed to break off ASAP.
Another "Captain" cropped up, coming from the Science cubby. Something the CO probably started to hate to hear every time a problem showed its ugly bald head. "I can reconfigure the tractor beam into a cannon... Shoot our Chief Engineer to Icarus." He stated, saving the story of…

Previously, on Star Trek: Missouri:
"Ironic:" I-400 chuckled. "The galaxy wants me to save it, but they suddenly want to resist me doing it? Makes me wonder if this galaxy actually wants to be saved..."
Suddenly, a previously unseen structure burst from the ground, splitting open like a flower and slamming down, cracking the memorial as it did so.
"You're not the only one stalling for time..."
And now, the continuation:
[Elsewhere]
I-400 drones began bursting from the ground, coming up through storm drains and wherever led underground. Their sudden appearance threw a previously orderly evacuation into chaos as the…

ON:
The lights in the modest counselling office had been dimmed to a warm and gentle hue, almost an amber. It wasn’t quite a sunset effect, but it was close enough to take the edge off the usual sterile Starfleet illumination.
Alice Penrose stood quietly in the middle of her new office, cradling an elegant cup in her palms. She bent her head just enough to breathe in the fragrant curls of steam, her eyes closing for a moment. It was real, brewed from hand-grown leaves. But she hadn’t made it for anyone but herself. Because no one had booked…

Boots were on the ground. The Icarus and Apollo had also deposited away teams on the planet's surface. However, the three Starfleet vessels had elected to remain on station in the system and represent the Federation while waiting for the rest of the fleet to arrive.
Patricia was on the bridge in her chair. Deep inside, that young XO of the Sandusky was still there, screaming that she should be the one down there leading the away teams instead of Commander Chance, as this fight had been hers from the off, and she should be the one down there to…

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…
