LOL thats how we always used to do chatter through the comm on the trek games.  Theres a big site out there pretty much like this dedicated to trek rp.  I was a member there for years, even got up to Rear Admiral in rank.  I ran a rp game there for about 3 years, started with an old Ambassador class called the USS Visionary.  It was a lot of fun, I think I'm pretty strong at Trek rp.  I still enjoy a good battle with alarms blaring, lights flashing and some bad guy firing a volley of phasers and photon torpedos.  Oh those were the days.  LOL
