While the receipt of the signal and the discovery of something intelligent nearby in The Void has made ''Serenity'' suddenly important, old habits die hard; there is a culture of mediocrity engrained in ''Serenity,'' and this will be something our characters will need to deal with, because while better caliber officers and ratings are rotating on-station, and have been for the past few months game-time, not everyone has been replaced- we WILL have more than a few bad apples. Furthermore, reputations die hard; anyone assigned to ''Serenity,'' even now, is likely not to look kindly on the assignment. These things affect attitude and, by extension, morale. Rebuilding the professional culture of the station will be one of the primary character development tasks on station; as the department heads, it will be up to each of our characters to work on this within our specific departments. | While the receipt of the signal and the discovery of something intelligent nearby in The Void has made ''Serenity'' suddenly important, old habits die hard; there is a culture of mediocrity engrained in ''Serenity,'' and this will be something our characters will need to deal with, because while better caliber officers and ratings are rotating on-station, and have been for the past few months game-time, not everyone has been replaced- we WILL have more than a few bad apples.

But, other than background task group stuff and some character development. RADM Veld, [[Molly_Sharpe|Brigadier Molly Sharpe]], Captain Yuri Kazhdenin, Captain Riv April, and the rest of the task group ships will not be playing a role in the mission itself other than supporting our efforts (in fact, the major ships of the task group will be delayed in arriving on-scene). The mission is for us- the station. We will use our attached ships- the ''Vigilant'', the ''Tiayang Shen'' (nod to ''The Martian''), and the ''Fireball''- to get to where we need to go. | ||
