Freeze Frame of GFC Blooper Video Released.

Sparroe - DS19 - R % R

As members of the GFC news blog, we get inside access to special information earlier than the usual public release.

Today's special information was the sneak peak to the upcoming Blooper reel!

As you can see below miss Sparroe looks like she is having difficulty displaying what she calls "Dance skills taught to her by Mikhil Baryshnikov himself!" However actually she just took a tumble and this picture was taken "Mid-fall".

But, this picture joins archives and archives of similar photo's of our Avatars looking ... not so glamorous. 

But what is important is that these photo's are a memory, a history, a legend, we are making the footsteps in the sand.

One day when this Blog may ... or may not be disused, someone will stumble across it a follow the footsteps.

Welcome to GFC History Folks!

It's here to stay!

(Please note: Blooper reel is fictional, Only used for content)

Can you see how things can be misinterpreted?

I make mistakes,

you make mistakes, 

we all make mistakes,

and we always forget this fact!

Sometimes a little bit of Self analysis is in order,

instead of pointing out these mistakes

what can we do to help them correct it?

GFC is a communal effort,

We cannot ridicule one another for mistake making,

Let's drop the hostility and unite, 

Live the Dream.

Strategic Operations

 Greetings all and thank you for following GFC news. As director of Strategic Operations I want to send my thanks to all of you for making GFC what it is today. I have been a proud member of GFC for going on two years now.

It all began the day I ran into a member while shopping at my local freebie market. Being a huge fan of ST he stood out among the regular crowd. He told me about this wonderful place named GalaxyFleetCommand and offered to come along with me for a visit, and what a visit it was. :) I was introduced to this group called the AAC and this one guy named Gokyu who got it in his head he could teach me to fly. Since I have always loved a good challenge I decided to take him up on his offer. Many many crashes and a chicken coop later...lo and behold I actually became a pilot in the Air Academy. (emmm..my callsign is still crash) Somehow I even managed to become Sigma Squadron Leader and flight instructor.

My many months as Squadron Leader was so exciting! I met a great guy at Quark's after flight training one evening. Orion leader Mr. Barbosa was the perfect gentleman offering me a seat and a drink. The Orion ladies looked so lovely in their beautiful silks. Malcolm almost even had himself a new home :) and Tails was particularly loved by the bewitching Juicy Morgwain. A wonderful time was had by all at Quark's for weeks on end until the dreaded day the contraband was found and the Orions abandoned the station. Security stepped up patrols to no avail. Those stubborn green folk were determined to move in on USS Paris!! After many battles they even succeeded in taking over our beloved ship, but GFC pulled together and regained control. Unfortunately Mr. Barbosa escaped and is still at large.

After this major event, I was asked by Captain Dolamite Griffin to assist him in Strategic Operations. I gladly accepted the position since being busy and having fun in GFC are two of my favorite things to do. I continued to work closely with the AAC planning and participating in many events. When Cpt. Griffin took his extended leave and the lead position became available I quickly applied and much to my surprise got the job!! Yay!!

Though it started as a bit of a struggle getting things moving and shaking, I am proud to announce that thanks to the wonderful team in Strat Ops we now have 5 weekly in sim rps and two cross sim rps. Please be sure to check out our ad boards and blog to keep up with the events and feel free to join us at any of them be you a visitor, recruit, or enlisted member. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun!! Thank you for your time and participation! Lt.jg. Phedre Aonifall Strategic Operations Lead

Outfit Competition winner - The votes are in

                               Winning Outfit "A" 

Well the votes have been counted and I'm glad.....No....Relieved to report that the discerning readers of this blog have prevailed over those voters who wouldn't know fashion if a pair of flares smacked them square in the face.

But it was touch and go for a while, two outfits were being voted on as what I'd be wearing on my regular visits as an undercover operative in Al Raqis. For some reason outfit B was leading the race, I couldn't believe our readers where going to inflict that outfit not just on me but the rest of the SL world in general.

Many hours of nail biting ensued,  quite a lot of kneeling and praying followed and then like a miracle out of some biblical text the results started to swing in favour of A. Outfit B was on the ropes, taking a pummeling from A's superior textures and flowing flexi prims. Outfit A made my Avatar look more distinctive, like he has money in his pocket and could buy a round or two in the bar.  

After a week of trading punches, the results are in, "A" won with a convincing 61.5% over "B" pitiful 38.5%, the decision is final and i'm extremely relieved of being saved from wearing the outfit from hell. I raise a glass to those who voted "A" and dowse them with its contents for those who voted "B".

If you see me pottering around the GFC in outfit A, give me a wave and wish me good luck in the harsh world of undercover away missions for the fleet.

Priority One Message from DS19

Incoming message from Lt.Cmdr Vehrous

This is Lt.Cmdr Vehrous, First Officer of DS19, please patch me through to Strategic Operations . . .

To whom it may concern,

Myself and snapper Desade travelled to Al Raqis this week, Botany Bay II to be precise. snapper beamed down first, I followed suit shortly after, and we made our way into the medical complex due to the congregation of  several persons there.

We began talking with the medical officer there, the one who had given us abuse the last time we visited this part of the region. It did not help that snapper Desade decided that it was a good idea to tell the Doctor that her medical bay was slightly "sparse" on his last visit. She was not in the best mood. Apparently a Mr Malic, had visited Botany Bay a few hours before and annoyed some of the local severally. We knew that these people did not take kindly to annoyances. 

We left the facility in a panic, it all went very quick, I shouted "Delta Flyer" just to direct my fellow officer. We ran! We jumped in and flew away from Botany Bay as fast as the impulse engines would take us, settling behind a sand dune in the desert. The sun was blazing in and  I could hear the faint sound of engines as another vessel began to pursue. We took off, weaving in and out of the sand structures that had formed over night, swerving to miss phaser blasts as the pursuing ship opened fire. 

. . . 

We got away, we passed through a region border, which we all know can be a little bumpy. We landed in Splintered Rock, under the huge landing area for the Spice Mining Facility. We waited and began repairs on the shuttle. Too Late.

           

We were caught, by these three. They're names eluding me. Me and my faithful companion snapper Desade standing there, drew our weapons. Bad Plan! They began shouting, shooting at the area around our feet, shouting some more. I nodded to snapper and we dropped our weapons, and our combadge's to the floor, unknowing what would follow The wanted us to strip down to our "bare" minimums, but there was not a chance of that.

  

I ran.

Stunning bursts passed across my shoulders and bellow my arms as I legged it for escape.

I failed.

snapper must have been knocked down as well, I don't know. We have not had time to de-brief the situation. When I woke. Medical Officer Malic. AAC Pilots Colin and Dustin and Klingon Ambassador Kal had arrived to offer assistance. 

As of this moment,

Al Raqis has to be deemed Hostile.

I do not believe this should be end of our visits here though.

It will be something I talk to Commander Aionfall About.

I will be continuing my mission in Al Raqis.

Thanks for your time.

Vehrous Out.

Transmission from Strategic Operations.

Incoming Transmission

To all GalaxyFleetCommand members this is a priority one message from Strategic Operations. Crewman 1st Class Jimmy Vehrous has been assigned to the Al Raqis sector, due to assassinations in the past his real identity must remain a secret. Below are some pictures that depict the way that the First Officer of DS19 will look during his missions. As OPFOR coordinator his real identity is top secret so he has been sent to GFC Medical so that they may change his physical appearance. If you see any of these men in GFC lands then you will know that they are and always will be a friend of the federation.

                                 

Please be discrete about this information, the people of Al Raqis know that he is a member of GFC, and that he is First Officer for DS19 but his real identity is unknown. His survival depends on this information being kept in GFC hands.

Thank you for your time.

Strat Ops new OPFOR away missions

Strategic Operation Opfor team this week went on one of their away missions to meet up with the Orions in Al Raqis. The regions in turmoil and the populous is distrusting of any unfamiliar faces in who arrive. I can assure you wearing starfleet uniforms and asking questions was the quickest way to get the natives to clam up.

It is clear there is something amiss under the surface, but the residents aren't going to make it easy for the federation due to distrust of previous groups who have been here.

There is a lot of diplomacy needed over the next few weeks, all members are welcome to help attain precious knowledge of this remote area of space.

Contact Strategic Operation members for tips on how to prepare for your own away mission or listen out of GFC chat for away missions in progress.

Away team meet with locals in the sand

My first away mission

I had the opportunity today to go on an away mission with captain Snapper Desade, kaori Juliesse and Starr Jetaime. We went on a peaceful mission to explore new worlds in the name of exploration.
It was quite scary for me to go on my first mission but I put on a brave face and knew I was in good company.

Captain Desade and I materialised first and looked around where we were met by a fellow traveler. Whipping out my communicator I offered a teleport for Kaori who was over joyed to be on the mission with us and was soon exploring the plethora ships that were in dock on platforms for rent . Kaori called for Starr to support our team so we could explore more regions.

We took a shuttle to one place and then came back to the ground to explore further a field where we came across some fellow travellers mining for a powerful drug called spice. We were welcome to go on a guided tour with Darren Green who gave us the equipment we needed to go and explore the desert area.

I decided to go and explore new areas above ground and thought I would try out the new gryphon, the scenery was beautiful, especially from that hight. Captain Desade got called away and we were left to explore on our own (editor: Actually Mr Desade crashed the delta flyer in to the sand dunes).
Walking and flying in the desert became thirsty work so I decide it was time to fly home back to the GFC, leaving Kaori and Jett to explore further.

Kaori and Jett did arrived home safely and we swapped stories of our travels on my first away mission.
