This is just awesome, thanks Charlie and Co. (And Miniatures Market!) for all the great work you do for our favorite "dead" game that isn't nearly as dead as many people out there think it is, LOL!

Super-win! (Now, I'm off to submit a photo of GooeyChewie recoiling in horror - or something.)

Well, sheer confusion, if not horror. I mean, how often does Kahless get put under house arrest in the Seat of Starfleet?

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship's Enterprise (lots of them)....

Admiral Riker sat at his desk in the Office of the president observing an old Starship Constitution emerging from a Space door on the Fedeartion Outpost at Sherman's Planet. Feeling nostalgic for old times he used the chain of command to call back the U.S.S.Enterprise and went on board to observe the Wall of ships in the readyroom. An then out of the past the Starship Enterprise appeared with Dr. McCoy. Dr. McCoy was quoted as saying to Bejamin Maxwell "I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer" but luckily Secret Agent Julian Bashir was more of a geologist and happened to bring along a bottle of '45 Dom Perignon. Admiral Riker hated to let the bottle go to wast so decided to rechristian the Starship Consititution to become the U.S.S. Enterprise-A. Then reality really started to break down as the classically known original thinker Admiral Kirk appeared on the bridge. At that point the Ready Room Door opened and James T. Kirk emerged and the two Kirks stood face to face!

Elsewhere in the Briar Patch the Federation Flagship: Relaunched. The newly repaired U.S.S. Enterprise-E travelled to the Baku planet where two Suna, Ru'afo and Gallatin observed the Baku from their Son'a Observatory. To get a closer look at the unsuspecting inhabitants they steped out into a Duck blind allowing them to draw closer.

Image

As the Shades of Gray fell over the planet Earth a Federation away team found themselves Out of time at the Cetacean Institute in 1986 with the help of the Temporal Agent Daniels the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-A "saved the whales" and returned to the present through a Temporal Vortex. After returning to the present they attempted to HQ: Secure Homeworld. After encountering the All Consuming Evil of Armus - Skin of Evil and finding themselves in a Armus - Sticky Situation Captain Spock, James T.Kirk and several members of his away team were declared dead - only for Captain Spock to mysteriously return!

Image

While observing the occupants of the Bak'u planet from the Duck Blind two Sun'a on Thine Own Self mysteriously vanish! Meanwhile the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise-E assembled and Captain William T.Riker took command - he declared the Federation Flagship: Renewed.

Image

An away team lead by George and Gracie, and Admiral Kirk observed the Genesis Effect on Earth thinking they might find their mission a Dead End but they ended up fighting off a Hanonian Land Eel to HQ: Secure Homeworld on Earth (it is a little know fact the Whales are the natural enemies of Hanonian Land Eels). Of course Yeoman Rand had to File Mission Report about the return of the Humpback Whale's to Earth and the discovery of the lost ancient artifact Zefram Cochrane's Telescope.

Ru'afo, William T.Riker and a bachelor party of Son'a and Baku enjoy a spot of Shore Leave on the Baku Planet. William T.Riker has to take the honorable way out, as he has no woman who might fall for a Parallel Romance or a Female's Love Interest, only for him to be abducted and placed in a Talosian Cage. Ru'afo then found the Bak'u planet was run by a Matriarchal Society.

Image

After stargazing through Zefram Cochrane's Telescope, as crew of the Starship Enterprise Study "Hole in Space" the ship had it's own love interest with an alien space life form until it's mate showed some Aggressive Behavior. Dr. McCoy would have had the answer to this situation if he hadn't been playingChula: The Chandra with the rest of the crew!

Meanwhile back on the Bak'u planet Anij found her self on Thine own self but managed to slowed the passage of time until she found Deanna Troi. The girls then went off for some girl chat with the Matriarchal Society. ThenJean-Luc Picard in a strange twist of fate helped Ru'afo Collect Metaphasic Particles from the Baku planet using Injector Assembly One. Suddenly Picard, Admiral Hayes and all of the other craggy Federation crew were young again - and decided to "Take another turn" at life! So they conducted some Cultural Observation. Then out of the mists of the Briar Patch the Li'seria and it's now youthful crew of Sun'a emerged and destroyed the Starship Enterprise with all hands!

Image

Finally the now youthful Sun'a decided to Analyze Radiation in the Briar patch. Mr. Garak found himself mysteriously Displaced just before Artim decided another game of Chula: The Chandra was a good idea. They failed to notice a Subspace Fracture which then killed the crew. The Federation Flagship: Relaunch U.S.S. Enterprise-E was on lucky on have after the Federation Flagship: Relaunched to finished where the Sun'a had failed!

Roll end credits.

- A game between bhsop (100) and sam2000 (60). (Alternating paragraphs represent each player - although not turn by turn)

- It could only happen in STAR TREK: THE CUSTOMISABLE CARD GAME

Thanks to Who's Your Daddy for editing the broken links. I've filled in some more details - was writing this at 1 am after finishing the game! Is this good enough to be front page material for Trekcc?

It's nice to put a more storyline slant on the events of a game - it makes it sounds just as fun as when you are actually playing IMHO.

P.S. Lackey is great!!!! Haven't played this many 1E games in ages!!!
