<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Mission 2: Romu...wtf?!</span></div><br/>Mission 2 finds the USS McNair en route to Rkar N'ra, a Class M planet on the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone (http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Romulan_Neutral_Zone) (RNZ). With the recent instability of the Empire, Starfleet deployed additional resources to the RNZ border. Because of it's advanced scientific technology, the McNair was ordered to Rkar N'ra to investigate unusual chroniton (http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Chroniton) emissions. The McNair will discover a new particle that is close to chroniton, but with extremely different properties. Crew are randomly assigned into 2 groups - extreme aging and extreme reverse aging. Groups are as follows:<br/><br/>Getting older:<br/>Airik Mitchell<br/>Makari Osiel<br/>Vergil Tosh<br/>Sahara Tir<br/>Duncan McGalleon<br/>Avalona<br/>Cate Cassidy<br/><del>Tatania Lebedeva</del><br/><del>Dyar Renn</del><br/>Cerise DeCourti<br/>Vivian Starling<br/><br/>Getting younger:<br/>Samuel MacReady<br/><del>Lugus</del><br/><del>Alyssa Northrop</del><br/>Thompson Walker<br/><del>Jo Varen</del><br/>Kavish Teel<br/>Rhiannon McKenny<br/>Keval th-Zarth<br/>Kroken Liara<br/>Darrin Falkin<br/>Richard Thompson<br/>Brady Vincent<br/><br/>Marked for death are struck-through.<br/><br/>Each player is free to select what age his/her character transitions to. NOTE: There is a zero tolerance policy in this game for underage sexual situations. Note the following rule:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">All sexual role playing must involve physically and mentally mature characters.  They must be sixteen years of age or over, and/or the physical and mental equivalent. Banned role playing and story subjects include lolicon, shotacon, or any other form of sexualizing prepubescent minors.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Goals: Investigate unidentified emissions on Rkar N'ra.<br/><br/>Issues: New particle causes issues with crew<br/><br/>Settings: Romulan Neutral Zone, Rkar N'ra<br/><br/>External Characters: None of consequence<br/><br/>Updates:<br/><br/>1. The chroniton emissions are actually life forms that are akin to insects. They seek out biological life forms for either procreation or nutrition. Like insects, they are non-sentient and don't communicate. Rather they use instinct like moths.<br/><br/>2. Sam MacReady is somehow immune to the effects of the chroniton life forms, similarly to how some people are immune to various toxins from animals.<br/><br/>3. Anyons have been confirmed in the past to eliminate chroniton particles. This requires significant anyon levels. Any phasing effects are reversed using this process.<br/><br/>4. Not only are the life forms on the ship being affected, but as are the biologically based components of the ship.<br/><br/>5. Medical & Science discover the chronitons are life forms.<br/><br/>6. Engineering discovers how to expel them from the body & systems.<br/><br/>7. Medical & Science discover how to counteract the aging effects.<br/><br/>8. Engineering determines what they are attracted to in the first place and create a source of it on the planet.
