Hey guys. I've just been re-reading the old posts - took me a while to find where Mandrake had been invited on to a shuttle too. I really like how this list is still here, and that we're all on the other end just waiting for something, anything. I guess each month it probably sends Andy an email asking if it's still valid or something and Andy keeps saying 'yep - still here - leave me be'? I thought both of your posts were excellent and I enjoyed reading them very much. Mark. -----Original Message----- From: ncv80221-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ncv80221-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: 27 March 2011 00:41 To: ncv80221@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [USS Vanguard] Re: RP: Return to Form Angus, Excellent post, and it was fun to read about Shar again. It also made me realize that because Shar is/was the Vanguard Chief Security/Tactical Officer, we saw him in action but rarely had the chance to read about his thoughts of what was happening around him. Eye opening. I think you've read the reunion posts to this point, and I know my posts tend to skip around a lot (flashbacks and flash forwards along with "What ifs?"). I didn't do a good job explaining Mark's (Mandrake's) situation, but Cynan has already arrived for the reunion and was invited by some Roebling officers as they performed some minor, routine duties. I liked how you played along with my post and Cynan's situation and managed to keep things light and ambiguous. Nicely done. I realized later, of course, that it was the perfect opportunity to get Cynan in trouble and introduce some drama. I have plans for Quetan and Kavan, as well, but, please, don't let me stop anyone from posting if any of you have ideas about your characters. Where I'm going: The Vanguard's former officers are scheduled for a lazy, perhaps awkward, reunion, but they are being ambushed. By whom? No idea. Outcome? Not sure. What I am doing, as I've already discussed, is setting up possibly Santos' final story. Yes, after ten years, I have an end to Santos' story in mind, and it's the last thing any of us would have expected when I introduced him ten years ago. I would love for one final go-around with all our old friends, but we shall see. As for the future, Angus expressed some interest in continuing, and I'm mulling it over myself. Perhaps a "Vanguard: Lost Years"? "Vanguard: New Voyages"? What do you all think? Best, Andy _____________________________________________________________ USS Vanguard: [Under construction] Vanguard Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/ncv80221 FreeLists: //www.freelists.org Trying to contact the USS Vanguard managers?
