I'm still hearing something in the walls. It comes and goes, though. I've asked some of my neighbors if they're hearing anything, too, and they report similar sounds. I think it's time for a hunt. Chekov's with me. Whatever-It-Is is no match for two of the brightest young minds in Starfleet! Right ( Read more... )

I figured I should mention that I've made an AIM account (HelmsmanHikaru) which I'll start using here in a bit, provided my ancient AIMing skills hold up to the test of time.

I think I'll take a few Gamma shifts, so I don't have to spend ALL of my time holed up in the botany lab while this blows over. :) In other news ( Read more... )

So today I was on duty at the helm, and I noticed something weird on the screen. Some kind of blob I'd never seen before, and we were heading right for it! I notified Kirk, then I tried banking to port to avoid it. Somehow it stayed directly in front of us! I was trying to remain calm, but this was weird crap. Then I realized that the blob on the ( Read more... )

So my muse doesn't get jealous of Lynn's Uhura. :)

Mizuki Sulu née Onizuka, also a Japanese American, is a quantum ( Read more... )
