Greetings, and welcome to Starbase 204-A: 'Zetari Station', Task Group 5.9, and the adventure of a lifetime. We're Commodore Julianna Kaye, the station's Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer Captain Garth Triss.

Zetari Station is an Athena class space station, positioned in the heart of the Gamma Quadrant, just a stone's throw from both the Bajoran, and Spinward wormholes. As the major Starfleet Hub in the Gamma Quadrant, we see a lot of species from all over the galaxy. To assist in the station's exploratory, and defensive endeavors, the Akira-X class USS Mjolnir-A has been assigned as our support ship, she has already proven herself both in battle, and exploration.

Feel free to browse through Zetari's website, and if you have any questions, comments, if you want to join or just want to say hi, we'd love to hear from you. The Command Team can be reached via the Zetari Command List, and we tend to get back to messages as quickly as possible.

Zetari is a Play By E-Mail (PBeM) SIMulation in UCIP, assigned to the Federation's Third Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Jack Hanson.

Whether you're already a crewmember, considering joining, or just browsing around, I would like to personally thank you for your interest in Starbase 204-A. Again, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us, otherwise 'Live long, and prosper.'

As our CO (and her feet) acclimatizes to the teaching life, I get the pleasure of this, this week.

We've seen another great week with awesome writing and really -- it's a pleasure to read. The plot is slowly kicking off as well, and there are loads of possibilities to get creative. If you feel a bit lost don't hesitate to contact us (the Command Team) or Chris who due to his work for this plot is our expert :D

Also you'll notice another change in this report. Kelso is now the man, manning the quotes. And as you can already see this week, he's not holding it back ;)

Exploration Fleet Command has asked that your UCIP database BIO be updated with basic information. It's not a lot - fill out the first few sections and add a link to your bio on the website. Take a look at Amelia's entry and you'll get the idea ;)

That's it, see you out there,
Bo

We have just updated the website (did you notice how we didn't need to tell you? ;). Anyway, it contains fixes for all known bugs that had been reported on the Anodyne forum, most of which we had manually fixed earlier. Among other things it fixes the issue with IE7 and the ability to do change site options. Besides that it shouldn’t change anything :)

If you run into problems give us a hail :)

Cheers,
Bo

Hello all,

We have 'started' our plot! Like I said, no freaky 'death-threat' log to start it all off, just a few things. For most departments it will be business as usual for the next two weeks and I would *love* to see some pure duty logs and see what y'all are made out of! Definitely do character development and personal stuff, but I would enjoy (as a Trek fan and CO) to see some of the more technical side of things! But, truly *amazing* work this week! Check out the awards, we enjoy handing them out and these are well deserved!

Now -- I must raise my expectations of y'all, because I've learned that if the bar is raised you will perform!!! The number of unexcused absences is unacceptable. 3, 4 or 5 is *way* too high. In my opinion, 1 is too high. As such, for the next few weeks, we (ZCT) will be watching those unexcused SIMmers. Anyone who has more than one unexcused absence in this plot will be at risk of being kicked off. Please know that we will also take past 00's into account. Remember -- the website is where it's at! You can now request an excusal (on site) if you can't log, or go on LOA if RL is hectic; it can be and we are very understanding ... if you communicate with us! It is *just* a game, but we invest a lot of time into it and those 00's are ok in case of emergencies, but consistently, they're an insult to us and your fellow SIMmers.

One more sad thing -- I want to let you know that school starts next Monday and as such, I will be slightly out of phase with the normal space-time continuum in which y'all reside for the next few weeks. I will still be around, not going on LOA, but my joint logging abilities will be *severely* limited. However, BTS I'll be watching you from my crack-berry daily, longing to be able to read and respond to emails when they're sent -- but I'm sure my kiddos won't let me ;) (not to mention my principal wouldn't really appreciate it either ;))

I have high expectations of y'all and know that you will not disappoint! Let's blow the organization away with this plot! There are many eyes on Zetari, given you're recent efforts, growth and high quality logs. We have so much faith in y'all and, as a command team, could *not* be prouder to SIM with y'all. So, all that to say -- keep up the *amazing* work and let's continue to impress ;)

Here's to the duty logs...
