The Black Fleet Report - June 2023

USS Europa

Commanding Officer: No report submitted

Executive Officer: No report submitted

Gamemaster: No report submitted

FComm’s Comments: The Europa has regained Russ as GM, which is great news because a replacement could not be found. Activity is almost non-existent but I’m hoping with a GM back that it will pick back up. GM is exempt from report and there currently is no XO.

USS Genesis

Commanding Officer: Luke Hung

How is your ship looking overall? Russ is back and soon should be taking back the main sim and try to get it back on track from where the crew took it.

Several side sims are continuing this month.

MacGregor and Slade are still climbing the mountain as part of therapy as Thomas shares important information about his past.

Jarvis and Slade have made it an hour within the maze as they answer the questions put forth in each intersection by the AI in the program.

Calvin continues to play paintball and is handing the other team their egos as he trapped them in a perfect crossfire

What was your favorite moment/post on the ship this month (include a link if possible!)? Kudos to our CNS for interesting ways to pursue her hobbies as she delivers therapy sessions.

Name one thing you want to improve on the ship for next month.Looking for a CMO if anyone is interested hit me or the XO up for a chat about the position.

Executive Officer: No report submitted

Gamemaster: No report submitted

FComm’s Comments: The Genesis regained Russ as GM, which is great, but big thanks to Luke for keeping a sim going in the interim. The GM is exempt from this month’s report.

USS Merrimack

Commanding Officer: David Fergusson

How is your ship looking overall? All is fine aboard the Merrimack. All positions filled. Everyone posting regularly, although we are now into the holidays period and I have LOAs and advance notice of LOAs. I will be away from the end of next month myself. Next month is likely to be quiet, however the Sim is reaching the conclusion of the planetary stage. We have now made contact with an AI working on behalf of an Ascended species, so there is a new puzzle to solve.

What was your favorite moment/post on the ship this month (include a link if possible!)? Nothing stands out.

Name one thing you want to improve on the ship for next month.

Executive Officer: Mika Jackson

How are the DHs doing? Are they all active and participating, both in the main sim and in any side sims?Overall, the DHs are performing well! While they may not be heavily involved in the main Sim, I believe they are putting forth their best effort and consistently meeting the AWOL limits when it comes to posting.

How are the JOs doing? Are the all active and participating, both in the main sim and in any side sims?Our numbers are limited as far as JOs. One of my key objectives is to actively recruit once I am able to dedicate more time and involvement to this specific ship and club.

Who is the shining star this month? Our CO deserves recognition, of course! Additionally, I would like to give an honorable mention to Marthese Bugeja for her exceptional portrayal of the CMO, as well as her secondary character Hunter. Her diligent efforts and super performance contribute greatly to the smooth progression of our activities on the ship.

Gamemaster: No report submitted

FComm’s Comments: The Merrimack is doing well. GM is exempt from the report this month.

Oed V

Commanding Officer: No report submitted

Executive Officer: No report submitted

Gamemaster: No report submitted

AFComm’s Comments: I still see some AWOLs but overall the roster looks better. Posting is about the same as last month, not Oed’s usual, but well ahead of other ships. CO and XO excused from reports this month.

USS Wolverine

Commanding Officer: Ray Branch

How is your ship looking overall? AWOLs for days, unfortunately. I believe Gene’s LOA is simmering down now, so we’ll have an update on our sim soon. In other news, Terry has returned to the Wolverine as our Intel person which is excellent because he plays the role so well.

What was your favorite moment/post on the ship this month (include a link if possible!)?

Name one thing you want to improve on the ship for next month.Dave and I will be pestering the AWOLs in a few days, though I’d expect these are due to the stall in the sim atm.

Executive Officer: David Shotton

How are the DHs doing? Are they all active and participating, both in the main sim and in any side sims?June has been quiet, especially with my LOA taking up a good half of it. The summer break has seen more LOA’s and a couple of AWOLS from the DH’s but for the most part, they are all active and keeping busy and we have a bunch of side sims underway.

How are the JOs doing? Are the all active and participating, both in the main sim and in any side sims?We have a fair few JO Awols atm, working to bring these back into the green.

Who is the shining star this month? Jeremy Snyder has been super active in multiple threads, interacting with different people and creating stories. Well done Jeremy.

Gamemaster: No report submitted

AFComm’s Comments: There are a lot of AWOLs here, some lengthy. The ship is still a bit slow, hoping to see improvement next month, especially if the GM is able to return.
