WxMurray

Oh my! I'm glad that isn't my laptop.

In the past few hours, Murray had arrived on the Reaent, reported for duty, transported some guy named Wero to Deep Space Four, assumed the tactical station, and was currently in the security office performing security sweeps of the ship while the ship sat in an asteroid field watching over another ship extract the remnants of an illegal experiment from a hunk of rock, all the while facing the possibility of becoming target practice for the Romulans. Life was good.

As he watched more reports come in from patrols, his mind began to wander. He didn’t mind, as long as it came back and wasn’t out carousing. He began to think of recent events. He had reported to Lieutenant Commander Shamor. Aside from the order to dispense with the “sirs” (which seemed appropriate, at least for reporting for duty), it went without incident. He had only actually spoken with Shamor for that brief bit since coming aboard, but he had a feeling he would get along with the Commander.

Mr. Flek. He has his quirks, but then, so does everyone. Murray, found it quite odd when he and Flek jogged to the bridge. He didn’t mind; just he thought it a bit unusual to jog to the bridge under non-alert conditions. Not that it mattered. Murray considered himself a bit odd, as well. Murray has a hard time disliking anyone. To that end, he determined that it is going to take a lot of work to dislike Flek. However, that seemed like too much work, so Murray discarded the idea and decided to put up with not hating Flek.

As his mind came back from journeys that he would rather not know about, Murray concluded that he was going to enjoy working aboard the Reaent. With that, he started to feel warm and fuzzy. It must be time to clean the old bellybutton again.

Probably that his Social Security benefits have run out.

Yeah, probably. :P :lol:

BIRTHDAY WORDS: "Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from."

Ooo. I like.

No, according to the birthday announcement(on bottom of main forum page), he's 100! Happy Birthday A-9! :lol: ::Tosses the confetti::

I meant at heart. We all know that all the GMs are a bunch of two-year-olds at heart. His birthday would make him three.

A9, have fun today. Go kill a cadet or something.

Just about everyone adds jobs for the holidays.

Happy birthday, A9. That makes you, what, three?

Actually, they aren't in Standard Time. They are in the general Eastern Time. That accounts for Daylight time, and places that don't use it, etc.

Hmm. After several different parties, the people we now know as the GM council all happen to wake up hungover in a gazebo and the first thing throught their minds is Star Trek simming.

He didn't think of a tax company. He does his own taxes so it never occured to him. He said that he was standing there during final Jeopardy, listening to his opponent's pen, thinking, "Oh my God. She knows and I don't."

Actually, I heard about it before the show aired. Apparently, an audio clip was leaked on the internet.

Ken Jennings lost Jeopardy tonight, ending his $2.5ish+ million, 75ish game win streak. The answer was, "Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees only work four months per year." He responded with "FedEx". The correct answer was "H&R Block". Wow.

I haven't a clue, but you've got me intrigued. Pointless trivia is fun to know. You can get some pretty weird looks frm people.

I would like "I have seen the top of the mountain, and you will worship me as though I were a god." (If that's too long, just "You will worship me as though I were a god" will suffice.)

Yeah, I've got a big ego. :D :o

Welcome aboard! (no puns intended, ok, maybe there was one)

LoAmi, leave the puns to me, please. You should know better than that by now. :o

Welcome to the boards, Vulcan.

We see a cat species critter in Star Trek V dancing on the bar in Paradise City.

Background:

Wimbley Murray was born in Pennsylvania to Thomas and Ellen Murray. He grew up in the rural community of Campbelltown, Pennsylvania, near Hershey and Harrisburg. A very shy person, Wimbley had difficulty making friends. His only friend was Stephanie, the daughter of retired Starfleet security officer and neighbor Lionel Dawkins. When Wimbley was twelve, however, the Dawkins moved abruptly, leaving Murray alone and with no information to contact Stephanie with. Having no friends he turned back to a subject that he had been interested in when he was younger: space. He read books and used various other learning resources, expanding his horizons in science, eventually fueling his desire to join Starfleet.

Murray entered Starfleet Academy in 2377 at the age of 18. In his first year, however, he had trouble focusing on his studies, preferring instead to relax and have fun. After nearly failing several courses, Murray almost dropped out of the Academy. He would have done so if it hadn't been for his roommate, Benjamin Galloway, who helped him turn his first year around. After his first year, Murray decided to transfer over to security. Here he continued, graduating in the top fifty in his class.

After graduation in 2381, Murray was assigned to the USS Reaent NCC-3345-G under the command of Captain Frederic Michaels and Chief of Security Jontilles Shamor. On stardate 0505.01 he returned to Starfleet Academy to participate in the Advanced Tactical Training program. He satisfactorily completed the program on stardate 0508.20 and was subsequently reassigned to the USS Reaent.

Psychological Profile (Stardate 0602.23, 2382)

In 2382 the USS Reaent engaged in battle against Tholian militants trying to overthrow the government. The Reaent was severely damaged and had to be abandoned. In the months following their rescue the crew was relieved of duty while the Reaent underwent an extensive refit.

At home during this time Murray began to suffer from depression over the near-loss of the Reaent and the death of many crewmembers, including twelve security officers. Eventually he was able to begin to bring himself out of it by sitting down and hand-writing condolence letters to each of the dead security crewman's families with a simple gift: an apple from his parents' orchards. It was the arrival of a very positive and uplifting letter from the parents of one of his deceased subordinates. That and the arrival of his possessions from the dilapidated Reaent let him feel true happiness for the first time in a very long while.

Following this incident Mr. Murray has taken on a lighter mindset, enjoying the odd joke and prank, as well as general silliness. Suction cup dart guns, squirt pistols, a clown costume, and various wigs make up only a fraction of his repertoire. It will be intriguing to see how the new attitude will play out, particularly when it comes to transfers and new recruits.

Notes:

Murray is very easy to get along with and has trouble disliking anyone. Despite this, he tends to be antisocial and independent, although this changes drastically once he makes friends with someone. Regardless, he would rather do something alone, feeling it gets done faster and up to his high standards. He is less likely to be seen in the crew lounge than he is to be found in his quarters with a book or in the holodeck paddling down a river.

Murray is an avid listener of classical music. A glance at his collection of music will immediately display a prominence of Baroque and Renaissance era music. Murray is an intermediate level amateur trombonist, although he has always wanted to learn violin and French horn. Murray once attempted piano, but wasn't ambidextrous enough. While he can still play decently to some degree, he has always been disappointed about this.

Murray's other hobbies include canoeing, hiking, camping, playing card games, particularly Euchre, and playing field games such as Capture the Flag, softball, and Flag Tag.

UPDATED STARDATE 1205.17

Happy birthday, Moose. Go take out an elk in celebration.

Gee, I thought Delaware's motto is "Hide your Corporate profits here."

I thought that was Florida. Or was that "Hide your corporate executives here"?

Blu, I think you've gotten confused between state nicknames and state mottos. Deleware's motto is "Liberty and independence". Massachusetts's nicknames are "The Bay State" and "The Old Colony", while their motto is "Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem" ("By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty).

My state, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the Keystone State. Its motto is "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence".

Ah, what a great sim, if I do say so myself. It was a Pun-dora's box of bad humor.Just when you thought it was over, the air was pun-ctuated with another one. :P

I watched that on NASA TV. It was awesome.

This was the last mission for NASA's B52. It's been in service for almost fifty years.

I like the trailer. However, the pictures on that site do not impress me. I guess I'll just have to see it.

Welcome, LoAmi. I look forward to simming with you.

Hey there,

 

You do know in the later part of the last century, someone invented these things called "VHS tapes" and devices to which you could record television programming onto them at a scheduled time for viewing later, right? ;)

VHS? That is so last century. :)
