“Jean-Luc Picard,” he replied, shaking her hand warmly. “It has been very enlightening. I never tire of this sort of thing. The company, the atmosphere--it’s a nice change of pace from ordinary days.”

Picard hesitated--though he had doubts that a Starfleet ship would attack a Klingon ship with blatant disregard for the treaty, he wasn’t willing to risk a war over it. “Then allow me to send over security officers to detain the ship’s personnel,” he said. “If they indeed fired first, then they will be court marshaled. But I cannot allow you to take control of a Federation ship. We will send a subspace message to Qo’noS to alert them and we will escort you to the border,” Picard said confidently. He paused for a moment before adding, “I would be willing to settle this in person, if you would prefer to negotiate.”

Star Ships

Glowering, Kang pushed his face a little closer to the screen. “I am aware of this ship’s affiliation,” he stated flatly, marvelling at the human need to state obvious things that didn’t need to be stated. “As I am also aware of the treaty between our two peoples, but it appears your people have forgotten it. This vessel fired on mine first, and killed many of my crew! We are merely… protecting ourselves.”

Picard had been looking forward to the symposium for months now--there was something invigorating about being among fellow intellectuals whose interests paralleled his own. He imagined that each gathering of scholarly minds was a bit like its own tiny Renaissance, a time to exchange ideas, to feed off of one another’s creativity, to inspire growth and to nurture curiosity... if he were to ever retire from Starfleet, he would attend every archaeological conference possible.

He glanced up at the older woman who sat beside him and gave her an amiable smile.

M’Hari was one hundred and twenty years old today, but didn’t look much over seventy. There was only one chunk of silver white hair in her head, but she never had the urge to dye it. The former Starfleet officer had never been vain. The only alteration she had was a penchant for painting her nails bizarre colors. Today they were as pink as the sundress she wore.

For her birthday, she had decided to go to a symposium on archaeology. After leaving Starfleet, she had taken on a number of hobby to fill her time. Walking into the symposium, she notice an older bald gentleman. There was an empty seat beside him, so Number One gracefully took a seat beside him.

Picard returned the handshake vigorously. At the comment about Captain Sisko, Picard chuckled. “I suppose we do bear a resemblance. Though I do believe he has grown in some facial hair,” Picard stroked his own chin thoughtfully. “I have found that it doesn’t suit me but one can always hope that changes.”

After a moment, he shook himself out of the thought. “But, you must be hungry after your battle--unless you’d prefer to look around first. Either way, there are far more things to do than to stand around in the transporter room.”

As Picard entered the transporter room, Martok grinned toothily at him. “Good!” he replied. “I expect nothing less!”

Stepping down from the platform, he grabbed Picard by the forearm, giving him the traditional warrior’s handshake. Only then did he notice that Picard was a little shorter than he had imagined him to be. He screwed up his face for a moment, distracted by the way the light reflected off the top of the Captain’s head.

"You know, you bear a striking resemblance to Captain Sisko," Martok told him, his grin widening a little. He meant it as a compliment.

Picard looked up sharply at the screen. “Fire torpedoes,” he ordered, not chancing that the ship would fall under Borg control.

//Hey I have a bunch of followers I don’t follow back at the moment because I don’t like my rp dash to get too crowded because then it’s hard for me to keep track of threads. So, if you follow me and I don’t follow you, it probably means that I either don’t know your character or I forgot to follow you or I’m not sure if you’re interested in rping with me.

Anyways, I am open to rping with anyone and just because we’re not mutuals doesn’t mean I don’t want to write with you. So feel free to send me a message/meme/reply to an open I post even if I don’t follow you.

A quick and dirty RP policy guide

Bold all that apply to you and your blog. Italics if you’re on the fence about something. Either reblog or repost. Feel free to add anything I may have missed in the appropriate category, or recategorize something that is in the wrong place!

My blog is _______

Open to all ✓ Semi-selective Selective Highly selective Exclusive Only going to RP with mutals ✓ Indie Affiliated with a group Spoiler free Spoilers tagged ((honestly I don’t think there’s any spoilers on this blog? The show is older than me so I don’t think “spoilers” would apply here? But if I ever rp with a fandom/character that involves spoilers from their newer material, I will tag it.))

I will RP with ______

Any fandom ✓ Most fandoms (list excluded ones here) as long as you’re willing to explain your fandom/universe to me and don’t expect me to watch/read the actual material, I am cool with it. But I’m not going to watch an entire show to be able to rp with someone. Only fandoms I know (List some here?) Only people in my fandom ✓ OCs ✓ OCs with no fandom ties ✓ OCs who are related to/know my character in their backstory ((related to my character would have to be discussed with me first. But if I don’t find your OC fits into my interpretation of my character, I am fine with doing crossovers so that they end up in the same universe.)) Only one version of any particular character ✓ People who have the same muse as me ✓ People who do not have a rules page ((I definitely prefer rules pages just to make sure that I don’t fuck up somehow)) Multimuse blogs (so long as I can understand what’s going on with your blog) Only people in my RP group ✓ Indie RPers

When RPing, I like to use _______

✓ Paragraphs ✓ Shorter forms of text *Action* Icons Gifs Gif icons Formatted text Whatever my partner is using ✓ My own style regardless of my partner’s reply (sorry I just don’t have enough gifs/icons and I don’t like using them. However, you are totally welcome to use them if you’d like. And same with formatting--as long as I can understand you/read it I don’t care.)

I will ship with _______

 No one Anyone ✓ Chemistry ✓ Select ships (TNG Picard is a captain and therefore I would find it very uncomfortable to ship him with someone who wasn’t a Commander or higher rank. Picard would never be in a relationship with an Ensign no matter what just because he would feel it’s wrong. The person in question would definitely have to be an equal (or slightly superior) in his eyes in order for it to even have a chance of working) ✓ OCs (But only with chemistry and the above conditions) Others of my own muse Crossovers with characters from different fandoms Only one version of a particular character

My blog may contain ______ in it’s content

✓ Fluff ✓ Angst ✓ Gore ✓ Violence Smut (In only very specific circumstances) ✓ Blood ✓ Torture Shipping ✓ Death ✓ Dark humor Cheating Assault

I will follow ______ back

Everyone ✓ Only some people Only people in my fandom Every RP blog ✓ Only people I actively wish to RP with ✓ People who do not post a lot of OOC ✓ People whose posts I am comfortable with on my dashboard (Also I tend not to follow people who aren’t in my fandom BUT that doesn’t mean I don’t want to rp with you)

To RP with me, you should _______

✓ Follow back ✓ Answer an open ✓  Message me OOC ✓ Message me IC ✓ Make a starter ✓ Answer my starter ✓ Send in a meme

Other:

✓ I practice reblog karma with memes I expect reblog karma with memes ✓ I expect my rules/about to be read ✓ I always read the rules/about before following ✓ If you follow me, I would like [smut, ships, flashing images] tagged with [smut, name of ship, flashing images, or any tag will do so long as I can blacklist it] ✓ I expect all [graphic smut] to be beneath a readmore ✓ I will tag and or place under a readmore any content type requested I will tag and or place under a readmore most content types requested ✓ I am a multiverse blog I am multi-muse I do not wish for my OOC posts to be reblogged ✓ I do not wish for my threads to be reblogged by those not involved I expect post length to be matched I expect icons/gifs to be used in a reply if I have used them

Picard rose from his chair at the sight of the Klingon on the bridge of a Federation ship. “That is a Starfleet ship,” Picard countered as he signaled his helmsman to ready phasers. “You and your crew will disembark immediately or we will be forced to take offensive action against you.”

Star Ships

On the bridge of the USS Belcorus, Kang manoeuvred himself towards the helm controls. The mission had been a success; his team had boarded the Starfleet vessel, and the Belcorus' crew had been mostly killed or thrown in the brig. As Kang signalled for his own ship - the IKS Sompek - to cease firing and draw back, his boarding party hauled the rest of the Starfleet corpses across the floor of the bridge and pushed them to the side, out of their way.

”jabbI’IDvetlh yIjangQo’,” said Lieutenant B’Elkara, the first officer.

”wIjangbe’chugh nunIStaH,” Kang replied. He glanced at the flickering sensor data, confirming that the Sompek was cloaking and making to leave the area, then returned his attention to the incoming transmission.

"Captain Jean-Luc Picard," he stated in response. This was the man who had helped Gowron to become Chancellor. That did not particularly endear him to Kang. 

"This vessel is now under my command,” he continued. “Leave this area immediately, or you will be fired on.”

Picard was just leaving Ten Forward to peruse the newest archeology text he had acquired when Data stopped him. “That sounds very enjoyable,” Picard answered, slightly surprised by the invitation as well as the compliment. “Though one does learn quite a bit about when to bluff when commanding a star ship and handling diplomats which could easily be translated into a game of poker... It would be a pleasure to join you, Data,” he concluded before he distracted himself with a monologue on whether or not military strategy could be applied to card games.

Pokerface || closed with Picard

"Captain.", Data said in order to stop Captain Picard as he walked over: "We are going to play a game of poker, would you like to join us?", he asked, shooting him the slightest hint of a smile: "I think you might be very good with that. You are in perfect control of your facial expressions. This is called a Pokerface, I figured.", he lifted both his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly: "Also your combinatoric skills are impressive, you would fit well into our group of players."

Once Martok cut the transmission, Picard turned to the newly arrived Data. "Mr. Data, you have the bridge. Ensure that we provide any and all assistance to the Klingon vessel. They are our allies and Martok is Worf's brother, in a sense." With that, he turned and headed towards the transporter room to great his guest.

"Welcome, General," Picard said once Martok had fully materialized. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Worf has always spoken highly of you."

"Ha ha haaah!" Martok grinned back at the Captain. "I look forward to seeing the Enterprise for myself! I shall beam over at once!”

He cut the transmission and, leaving Tavana in charge of the bridge, went directly to the transporter room (pausing only briefly to collect a bottle of bloodwine from his quarters - after all, it wouldn’t be a proper celebration without bloodwine).

He arrived in the transporter room just in time to see the Starfleet engineers being ushered away by his own engineers, then proceeded to the platform.

"HIjol!"

A moment later, Martok materialised in Enterprise's transporter room, blinking rapidly as he got accustomed to the bright lights of a Starfleet ship.

Picard frowned--the nebula they were surveying was unusual, yes, but sensors hadn't indicated that it was by any means dangerous. "Computer, run a full scan of the ship, starting with the engines. I want to know what's causing this immediately." 

[captainofthe1701d]

Understood sir. Security team dispatched now. We will keep you updated.

"Good work, Lieutenant. See to it that all other decks are secured. I don't want to put any lives at risk."

[captainofthe1701d]

Intruder on deck six, sir. Threat unknown, possibly hostile.

"Clear deck six of all non-essential personnel. Security, isolate the area with containment fields as soon as possible," Picard ordered immediately. "Shields up. Ship will remain on Red Alert status until the intruder is identified and contained."

//You can get free themes from here and here 

most of them come with easy to change colours and easy to upload pictures (Just make sure you get the width/height right or some themes will stretch/compress your photo and make it look weird). If you don't know any html, make sure you pick a theme you really like and find easy to read because, while it's pretty straight forward to go into the html and change the font and/or the font size, it's easier just to pick one you can easily read. 

If you do have a particular interest in a theme but the font is too small, you can edit the html pretty easily--just go into the html and look for anything that says "font-size" and increase the size that way.

ooc: HTML issues

I need help!!!!! I really want to create a kick ass theme with pictures of Deanna with different shades of pink, blues and purples (black may be used for text and title of blogs) but I am not good at HTML.  I only made it to into to computers and never gotten into the next levels of computer.  If anyone can help me please let me know.  Thanks
