UPDATE: I apologize for not putting this in the thread, directly, but this plot could take several months or more. We're looking at one to five months that the characters could be trapped on this planet. This is not a weeks long event. Sorry for any confusion.
In the coming weeks, Argo has a story arc that is going to start which involves a group of Starfleet personnel be trapped on a planet, unable to escape, though they can use comms to talk to the rest of Starfleet. Our original intent for this story was to have Argo characters work to rescue the trapped NPCs. However, based on some feedback, we are considering opening the trapped individuals to player characters.
Consider this choice carefully. Any character that is trapped on the planet will be unable to RP on the starbase or in almost ALL other events the fleet participates in. For this reason we are recommending alts or lower play-time characters. There will be a few foundry maps that the trapped characters can use to RP among themselves, as well as a few other options for RP, but they will be limited and rely heavily on the players to create.
The admin team is reserving the right to say "no" to this. If only one player, or two players who don't play at similar times volunteer, we will likely go with NPCs only. Or... if your character is a main part of the greater Argo story, we will have to strongly consider this. For example Captain Perim or Admiral Rilem would not make good choices.
If you are interested, contact one of the admins for more details.
Thanks,

Assuming this is after the courts marshal of quint I'd be interested, I still have two weeks to go till my stardrive is operationally useful, and I still need a saucer. So any ground stuff is good for me, just give me dates and times and I'll make it work.
I think it might be fun to put Agnie on the planet.

Would creating an alt for this purpose be acceptable?
I could offer Denar for this, its not like i really play that char as it is.
I think one to five months is just really to much for my two characters and gets in the way of my own plans, a new alt would work perfectly fine for me.
I think I might use oneo of my alts for this..could be fun..sounds fun.
I wasnt really playing S'ill lately. Also i dont have anything planned for her. So she could come along.
I want one of my characters to go. Which one depends on everyone else.
I could bring Arri I guess, but she's my only science person and if something big and sciency happens, I may want her to be there.
Then again, the reason I no longer play on her is I just can't get a solid feel for her character. Being trapped on a planet for a few months could be a real boon for developing her character. And if not, well it's not like it'll hurt her character any more than sitting idle is. I'll think it over.

I want one of my characters to come as well, but my schedule for that long of a time period is super unknown given that classes start soon for me.

I'll still go
Probably going to come. Just because Osi is one of the best and worst people to be stranded with. He knows a lot of science, but as far as a person...

I suppose, as long as they abide by fleet character policies and you put in an alt app.

I spoke with Kermit about adding Eli in, Aurelia says he's too important, Kermit was all maybe, but I'd like to drop him in there. What are your thoughts Shan?
I vote Ramona, because I like to torture Jack.

So, I always second guess myself if I find I'm not in total agreement with Aurelia. But, I'd say if it would help support your rp, or give you the chance to tell a story you want, then lets make it work.
When it starts, the "end" will not be immediately known to the characters so they may consider it permanent. With that, and this is where Aurelia is right (as always), he does play a very important role to the fleet. So, they would most certainly appoint an interm starbase xo.
Does that affect your thoughts on it, at all.
On a related note,Eli's leadership might be interesting to have there?

If anything it makes me want to push him there more, the character development side makes this an interesting path to follow I think from whatever happens with the chosen people trapped. Adding in a interim XO that's development for someone elses character giving them 'experience' in a new role, which could again lead to anything.
One note not related to characters but the 'story' It's mentioned that they can use comms to talk to starfleet, is that right off the bat, or something a little further into the story?
