Starbase Indri RPG
The Starbase Indri RPG-by-forum has been in existence since January 2004 and has since grown into what it is today. Currently, the RPG has one active ship, the Akira-class USS Nomad, and a partially active station, Indri, which, as it stands, is being used as a staging point in Nomad stories. The RPG will begin its eighth episode soon and is recruiting!

Surlak stood outside of his office, as he deactivated the locking mechanism, and stepped inside. Something did not seem right.
A mysterious voice called out. "Computer, engage locking mechanism on door. Disengage any sensors or surveilence devices in this room."
Surlak saw someone sitting in the shadows, standing behind his desk. "Good Evening, Mr. Surlak," the voice called out. "Activate lighting, 30% illumination." Surlak's eyes slowly adjusted to the lighting. Behind his desk stood Captain Quandrome, of Indri Starbase.
"I know, Mr. Surlak."
"About what," Surlak enquired. He had been trained for this, he knew 48 ways to kill a humanoid using his fingers, should he know too much.
"About the Ka'Vient, about the Transwarp Core, about your Mother. Probably more than you yourself."
The last revelation caused Surlak to freeze in his place. How did he know, how had the leak occured, how could he have known. "How...?"
"I'm El-Aurian, I listen... closely..." (fragment from Episode 1: Transwarp)

When Blake arrived at the holodeck, there already was a program running. Hmmm... what's she up to? He entered the room, and immediatly some strange smell poured into his nose...
"Audzen... what IS this?"
Tobe turned around and smiled. "Mike, believe me, this really is heaven. Even Wallace finds it relaxing!" Wallace, who sat across Tobe, nodded.
"Get dressed and join us! The changing room is over there." WIth that said, Tobe sat back and continued relaxing. Oh well... In a few minutes, he was dressed, and walked toward the bath. It was filled with... "Yeah Blake, that's mud. Now don't stare like that, come in!"
"Euh... yeah... sure..." Well, it was nicely warm... Well... it's even nice!
Blake sat back and relaxed. This was really what I needed... He heard a giggle from his left. "I told you you would like it..." (fragment from Episode 3: Echos)

"We entered visual range and we saw three massive ships on screen... they appeared to be basic geometric shapes but the power out put was tremendous." Courtney and Blake visually paled when they heard this, was it who they thought it was... Deneblave noticed this response. "I see that you have heard of this species before?"

"Cap, I'm picking up the planet. There's some interference, maybe some radiation from the sun, which blocks my attempts at scanning the backside of the planet. The planet seems post warp, I'm detecting several artificial satelites in low orbit. I can't access the communications network yet because of that same radiation, but when we are approx. 1 hour away from the planet I should be able to make contact." Blake was typing furiously, trying to tap into the network. Courtney looked up. "Alright, but just keep scanning, if there's anything wrong I want to know it immediately..."

"Colonel Tobe, you have permission to continue with your away mission." Tobe got up and headed for the turbolift "Good Luck" Courtney finished.

There was a few moments of silence on the bridge before Tobe checked in.
"Tobe to Nomad, transport complete.... the whole teams here but according our tricorders thats about all thats here... it shouldn't take us more than an hour down here."
"Thats Good Colonel, just check in from time to time so we know your..."
Courtney was cut off by a shout from Blake. "Incoming weapons fire, brace for impact!!!"

"MIST teams, we've got a Borg infection on Deck 4. There are 4 confirmed drones there, another 4 have been taken care off. Don't mind the casualties; my scan indicate that they're already dead... including one of your marines.... I'm sorry..."
It was Toral himself who answered. =/\= Confirmed bridge, we're on our way. Anything else? =/\=
Blake taught for a second. "Yes, I'll take a team into the area myself. We'll meet at sickbay and set up a base there, Dr. Valorak has evacuated everyone to Ten Forward so after we're done I suggest we make our way to there. Good idea?"
=/\= Affirmative Blake, copy that. We'll meet up in ten minutes or so. Toral out. =/\=

"Listen up, Counselor.." Tobe held the woman by the arm.
"Unhand me you brute..!" Zenni's voice sounded pompous and debonair.
"Who do you think you are, Lt.?" Tobe was mocking her rank.
"I think I'm a SF officer who deserves a little respect for my efforts." Zenni yanked her arm away from Tobe.
"What you deserve is a one-way ticket to Rura Pente..."

Not three feet away from McCormick was a row of head high cylinders half a metre across, each filled with a thick gel, but it was the contents that made his skin crawl. Each cylinder had a small fetus suspended deep in the gel, each one suspended by a series of metallic spindles and cybernetic cords dropping from the machinery above and extended deep into the barely formed skin of the fetuses and into their insides like black spider webs, as he walked closer he say that they were breathing, slowly expanding and contracting, every now and then one would give a small kick...

"Coliss, plant those pattern enhancers NOW! We'll cover you!"
The Marine stepped out of the middle of the group, planted the pattern enhancers, but was almost surprised while planting the last one when a drone tried to smash his tubules into her back. It didn't get that far, as Blake had grabbed Toral's phaser and already had shot the drone.
"Nomad, this is Blake! GET US OUT OF HERE NOW!"
Ten seconds after the away team was beamed up, the surroundings of the former Borg building was transformed into a sea of flames when the away team's *presents* did their job... (fragments from Episode 4: Shadows and Darkness)

"Let me get you something to drink," Quandrome offered and walked over to the replicator to return with a cup of tea and a steamed Raktajino.
"I don't recall telling you of my favourite drink," she remarked as he sat down the two cups on the table and took a seat. "It's our job to know everything, isn't it?" answered Quandrome.
"So why are you here?" she asked, taking a nap of her coffee. "Well, there is a matter I wanted to discuss with you," answered Quandrome, holding his hands warm around his cup of tea. "There are... things you learned... you weren't supposed to, but now that you do, it suits me to... well, to clear some things up for you." Quandrome recalled their latest meeting. He wasn't completely sure what she knew, and what she didn't, but he had considered it for the best not to reveal that detail to her. "Of course, I need not remind you this discussion will remain between you and I." She nodded. "Well then... You must have heard of Admiral Perez' sudden death, only mere days upon his arrival at Indri?" Again, she nodded. "One of my officers was responsible for this tragic event. I have worked with him ever since the Cavalier-incident -- surely you read of it before your commission aboard the Nomad -- and I trusted him. But for reasons unknown, he is now onboard the ship we are chasing." (fragment from Episode 6: The Gathering Storm)
