conversations.value: At the fringes of the Federation, reaching to the limits of known space, the intrepid crew of the *USS Constitution* forges its own path through the stars.  Over the course of her five-year mission, the *Constitution* and her crew explore the uncharted frontier, seeking out new experiences and blazing a fresh trail into the unknown.
  
  This is a sister game to *Path of the Valiant*, set aboard a different ship undertaking its own five-year mission.
  
  --
  
  This is a Trek game set in the wild frontier of the Original Series, aboard the first-of-its-class *USS Constitution*, NCC-1700.  I'd prefer a cast of four to six at most, with seven at maximum, each character playing one of the *Constitution's* senior officers.
  
  I'm seeking a variety of characters that stick to the trailblazing, action-first, high-ranking-away-team *Wagon Train* spirit of TOS.  While most crew on the *Constitution* are human, other races (including Vulcans, Andorians, Denobulans, and Tellarites, among others) have their own presence aboard Federation starships.
  
  I want to strike a balance between action and interaction, meaning challenges and goals relating to character interplay may come up as often as actual missions and tasks, and some fun mechanics for things like Redshirts may come into play as well.  While the story is meant to be taken seriously, I tend to create assets and goals that are a little tongue-in-cheek to help encourage character development.
  
  If you're up for collaborating with other writers, including a limited amount of inter-PC control and a willingness to let other characters (ie. away teams) take the spotlight, join up with the *Constitution* and let's set out for the Final Frontier!
  
  **NOTE:** Feel free to create Strengths, Weaknesses, and Subplots as you see fit.  I will not be accepting duplicate natures (the ship doesn't need two chief engineers), and natures/positions **must** be chosen from those provided.  Edit the flavor text to match your character's approach to the job, should you see fit.

conversations.value: You've got to ensure the ship and its crew are in tip-top shape and ready to face anything that comes, but even with the ship launching, something's not quite right.  It's your job to fix the problem, system, or person responsible.
conversations.prefix: Well-Oiled Machine:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've brought an important piece of your home or previous life with you -- a picture, item, or keepsake.  Rewrite this asset into that item, which stays on your person or in your quarters.

conversations.value: Running the ship and reacting to the unknown falls right under your job description. Your job is to ensure things run smoothly, and to keep your crew alive and your ship intact, and you're the best man or woman for the job.
conversations.prefix: Commanding Officer:

conversations.prefix: Helm Officer:

conversations.value: You keep every system on this cutting-edge ship purring like a kitten, and woe to the person or thing that tries to get between you and your engines.
conversations.prefix: Chief Engineer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Was it that the lure of the frontier was greater than being planetbound somewhere, or just the knowledge that you were the best person to keep this crew alive on their sojourn through unknown space?
conversations.prefix: Medical Officer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Additional ship operations, weapons systems, and the security of the ship also fall as part of the purview of the ship's navigational officer -- more than just star-chart-gazing.

conversations.value: "Danger" is your middle name.  So is "Headstrong".  So, sometimes, is "Sickbay".
conversations.prefix: Reckless:

conversations.prefix: Unlucky:
