I'm graduating in May, for my B.S. in Computer Science, and I've juuust started by jobsearch. Whee.
Applications sent: 1

Was going to buy mud guards for the car and had to buy a new monitor cuz the old one just gave up the ghost. *sigh*

I can't reach Ottowagamers, and haven't been able to for several hours.

- CD, and don't know any other points of contact, or I wouldn't be posting publically here

That's right, we nearly have transparent aluminium.

Guess they crew of the Enterprise just got the dates wrong

Every now and then, people in a game do something that makes you as the GM just sit back and go, "BWAH?"
I just had a moment like that, when in the online Chrono game I'm running, half the group have decided to form up a rock band... in the middle of the campaign! Currently they've got Khimera Chang, an altiverse member of the Chang Dynasty from BGC on lead guitar, A D&D Lodoss Elf on backup guitar/lute, A genuine Danzaiver sentai hero on Keytar, a 30 foot Velantian Lensman on drums, and a cute fleet admiral alien girl as lead singer.
I shudder to think who they'll add next. @_@
Anyone else have similar moments?

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.

So, was discussing this in the channel the other day, and given the size of group required (8-16), I posited doing an all Legendary Minds of Mayhem trial.

Uni would be doing raid coordination due to the fact that she's played the Trial before and nearly beaten it (Phase 4 of 5), and presumably we'd be doing this sometime Friday or Saturday, depending on which is best for folks. Shout out interest and time suggestions if you have it, and I'll be putting up a guide (done by myself) shortly that summarizes how the Trial works.

This isn't exactly for Incarnate progression, or badging. This is mostly for people who want to see the storyline of the MoM trial all the way through to the end, rather than looking for the easiest farm methods.

 Our task this week should you accept is to seek out and beat up a giant rock monster and steal his car on a stick. Totally would make an awesome and fitting titan weapon.
 Anyway for Numina I'll try and set it up for 7 PM Mountain time. 9 Eastern so go ahead and post your interest! Will take all comers level 35+ come earn your Xp or Notice if incarnate.

Veni, vidi, vici. [I came, I saw, I conquered
Quote from Julius Caesar

Based on the possible Mission of the SS Fram to Wolf 359:
Wolf 359
'''Wolf 359''' is a small, dim, type M red dwarf star located approximately 7.7 light years from the Earth in the constellation Leo, near the ecliptic. It is classified as a UV Ceti-type flare star, and has a relatively high flare rate.
Wolf 359 is one of the nearest stars to the solar system; only the [[Alpha Centauri] system and [[Barnard's Star] are known to be closer.
Neither a Hubble search, nor a cursory fly-by by the Trekkies in late 2009 seemed to suggest the existence of a planetary. when the SS Fram visited Wolf 359 in a projected six month mission, it did detect a planetary system of four planets and one asteroid belt, with two planets forming a double planet system. That is was not detected is based on the systems eccliptic being different from most other planetary systems detected up to them.
== Planets ==
=== Heimdal ===
Named after the warden of Odin, Heimdal is a planet of the Hot-Neptune type, orbiting Wolf 359 in a closer orbit then Mercury orbits Sol. Because of this closeness, Heimdal does not possess any moons.
=== Muspellsheimr and Nifelheimr ===
This double planet system the single most important discovery of the entire Wolf 359 mission of the ''SS Fram'' as both planets are, while being situated well outside the Green Zone, bearing life. However both worlds are polar opposites.
==== Muspellsheimr ====
Named after the Norse Primordial element of Fire, Muspellsheimr, this planet is just that. Twice the size of Earth with a surface gravity of 1.5g, the planet is extremely geologically active and is currently the world with the most volcanoes. The planet does have a Nitrogen-Oxygen atmosphere, but it is not breathable by humans due to the presence of various toxins and a pressure of 10 bar on the planetary surface. Even through not close enough to its sun top be heated by it, the volcanic activity heats the atmosphere to a cozy 40 degrees Celsuis at average.
About 50 percent of the surface are covered by water through it is more of a thick soup like sludge containing a large amount of volcanic ash and sand. However it is also teething with microbial life as well as higher developed life forms.
The lower atmosphere of Muspellsheimr is likewise rather thick with volcanic ash and mircobial life, making it hard to see further then about fifty meters at good times of a day.
This does not preclude the existence of higher forms of life however. The dominant life form is a eight legged elephantine creature that absorbs food directly through its skin by processing the thick atmosphere. They were named FROB by the crew of the SS Fram. Other lower life forms exist as well, through there are no known predators due to the presence of nutriments all around them.
==== Nifelheimr ====
Named after the Norse Primordial element of Ice, Muspellsheimr, this planet is just that. Being the size of Titan, this planet is not as geological active as its twin, but enough to warm it up slightly. However the surface temperature does not raise over about -30 degrees Celsius with the common temperature being about -45 degrees Celsius.
Surrounded by a nitrogen atmosphere similar to Titan and a surface pressure of 1 bar, ammonia oceans and seas cover its surface.
Ammonia is also the base of the first sort of cryogenic life discovered. Dominant life forms are large moving plant like creatures that are named 'Ymir' by the crew of the SS Fram.
== Hel ==
Hel, named after the Norse plane of the dead, is the outer most planet of the Wolf 359 system and again a icy Neptune like object with a ring system and at least three moons.
