Too bad a
lobster thing got in the room too and ripped the Tellarite's
suit. The explosive decompression killed him, and with the Andorians
comatose they suffocated after a day. Meanwhile the giant lobster went
into hibernation, but Jon shot it, just in case, before he refilled the
bridge with atmosphere. They got the freighter back, didn't kill too
many cats, and had a fun time all around. All in all, another nice way
to relieve the boredom of patrolling the Klingon Neutral Zone.
Reflecting back, there was one too many players. I can handle five, but
six is a bit problematic. Chris once again didn't do anything with
Beltana. I have no idea what he's waiting for. Donald was also back to
his noncommital self, just wanting to roll dice instead of role-playing
the action. Shannon was not feeling well on account of having his
wisdom teeth pulled out the day before, so I can almost excuse his lack
of play. Almost. Really, Rowe was the best player for once. Fulton was
a bit rusty from not playing for months. Woo almost fades into the
background.
Next episode, with Sweet back I guess he'll be in charge. This season I
want six people to lead, though I'll settle for less if Fulton and
Sweet double up on mission leads. Writing of which, this is one of the
few 100% missions, which improves Fulton's rating to 68% I feel that 60
or better is a good rating for most commanders, with 75 or better for
the best commanders. I can't imagine anyone getting a 90+ rating after
a few missions -- I'm rather an unforgiving grader.

As I told the
players. This is an all new season and a change for the show. New
opening intro and credits, a more jazzed up musical score, more action
and more babes (did I mention that all the Kzinti warriors were
female?). A rather unsophisticated attempt at raising the ratings of
the show. Or an excuse to use up the various TOS adventures that I
have, which are mostly Klingon based and more action oriented than
LUG's adventures.
