End of March Plots!
It's the Spring Equinox for many of us in the northern hemisphere, and you didn't think we'd let March go out like a plotless little lamb, did you? ;)
ETA: An IC kick-off post is now live in the main comm!
Happy Father's Alien Abduction Day!
Today, March 20th, is International Alien Abduction Day, and with Father's Day having just passed (in parts of Europe and South America, don't worry America you still have 3 months to pick out the perfect tie for your pappy), Q has decided to show how much of a loving and kindly individual he really isand to get people to stop grumbling about how they miss their families.
For one week starting today and ending next Sunday, characters will have the chance if they so choose to talk to their fathers, or father-like figures. This can either be done using the comms system (pictured above), rather like a Facetime or Skype (or universe equivalent feature) conversation, no matter where or when the father exists. Why? Maybe there's some unresolved business between your character and their father. Maybe your character just wants to talk to them one last time...
For characters whose fathers are dead or don't exist in a time period with such technology, the holodecks will create a simulation of their father to interact with. (This will be a real conversation and not just a ghostly apparition, much like in the Superman franchise when Kal-El and Kara are allowed to talk to their deceased parents via hologram).
If your character has absolutely no desire to speak with their father, they may be treated to another glimpse into Father's Day... of the future... by speaking to what could be your character's future child. Just call Q the Ghost of Christmas Future. Possible future children will likewise appear to interact with your character via the holodeck simulations.
When this is done, characters who decide to give Q a Father's Day gift in return will be granted one wish, as long as it's a reasonable wish. So that means no wishing to return home, having someone else show up on the ship, deadly or rule-breaky items. This post is where your characters can make their Father/Aliens's Day wishes, and if Q deigns to grant their wish it will come true next Sunday, March 27th.
Spring Equinox, Planetside!
Spring is in thevacuum? air! Flowers are blooming, birds are calling, all those pesky pheromones are in the air - but not all is hunky-dory for the Federation. Tonight, the Enterprise will receive a call for assistance from a Federation colony whose crops are failing, and who need the help of the ship's complement to recover before deadly consequences ensue. Luckily, the Enterprise just stopped at Pacifica on that botany mission, and happens to be carrying many seedlings, seeds, and helpful equipment the doomed settlement desperately needs. Not to mention, most importantly of all, people with skills and interests in planting.
The timeline will look something like this - the Enterprise will make landfall tonight, and the first characters who wish to help will be beamed ashore in the morning. With this plot, characters will be helping out with manual labor - tilling soil, maybe pulling weeds, et cetera. Anyone who decides to do so will be given an equinox-themed gift at the end of the plot - like a plant they helped grow, a basket of chocolate eggs, et cetera. What your characters end up with is up to you - so long as it's Spring-themed!
All volunteers who choose to spend the week helping in whatever capacity they can will receive their gift at the end of the week, before the Enterprise shoves off to commence with April's plots. Whatever healthy plants are left will be brought to a nearby space station to supplement their greenhouses, and while there the Enterprise may be picking up a few more things...

Two important notes: 1) since it is a Father's Day phone call, your characters will only be able to speak with their fathers. 2) once the comm/holodeck simulation ends, your character will not be able to bring it back up again. Q is bending the rules of space and time just for this one week.
WHO: Anyone can participate or not, as they choose!
WHAT: Q enabling daddy issues!
WHERE: The entire ship, including personal quarters and holodecks (or anywhere comm systems can be accessed)
WHEN: From today (20 March 2016) to next Sunday (27 March 2016)
