(As inscribed on the dedication plaque of the USS Artemis NCC-80103)
The year is 2397. The Federation is a peaceful utopia where all cultures live in harmony for the betterment of each other, or is it. The Federation and by extention Starfleet would have you believe that there is little to no crime in the utopia that is the Federation. However, crime does indeed run rampant so a unit was created to keep these most vicious criminals under the rug and out of site. This unit known as the Starfleet Criminal Investigations Service (SFCIS) is tasked with pursuing offenders of all kinds and bringing them to justice. As well as making sure that the Federation's image is maintained
Rear Admiral Declan Ford, an old veteran of space by this point is given the command of the unit and brings in Captain Marc Kidd to command the ship. This ship, a Luna Class vessel aptly named the USS Artemis after the Goddess of the hunt will be used to hunt down enemies to justice wherever they may be.
This intrepid crew will stop at nothing to see justice done. While they accomplish this great feat they will learn about themselves and what their limits are. Exploration will build Starfleet, diplomacy will build the Federation, but justice will prevail when Artemis completes the hunt. This crew will have to prove that where there is justice there is hope. Can their tiny ripple become a giant wave? In short, their mission echoes their dedication plaque.
Marc and his crew will prove that leading by example is the best way to make friends. If you think you have what it takes to investigate the vicious crimes, and prosecute the offenders the join the Artemis as it takes up the hunt for justice.

Well my friends that is the first mission in the bag as it were. A good crew came aboard and began to bond. It takes time for a crew to bond into a family and only time will tell if that can happen with our dysfunctional family. After all we come complete with a grumpy Aunt Miller. ;-)
Our ragtag group of scientists and investigators were tested by the Breen and we have come through that stronger than when we went in. Not only that but we assisted in saving a Federation station from being overrun by the Breen. I would say that is not bad for a group of brainiacs. lol
Suffice to say that you are all great writers and if this first mission is any indication we are on the road to do great things.
So without any gilding the lily and no further ado I give you the one, the only, awards... taps mic... Is thing on?

Well here we are and we made it through, 2022 comes to close. Another year over and a new one begins. As always lets hope that the next one is better than the last. As I look back at the last year I see a world coming out of the darkness that was quarantine. I see relationships born and reborn. I credit this community to helping us get through these doldrums. Your creative stories have always kept my mind looking to a better tomorrow.
As the year comes to close we look at the great things that we have all accomplished. I am blessed to have a baby on the way. I know that the rest of our community is doing great as the world gets back together. As for myself this year started out difficult and finishes with greatness. It is my greatest hope that 2023 is better than the last year. The we continue to grow and learn.
So that is enough of the misty eyed adoration. Suffice to say 2022 had its ups and its downs. But the Artemis is always one of the ups...
So without any gilding the lily and no further ado I would like to present a few end of year/beginning of year awards.

This sim was on the verge of being shut down due to lack of interest. However, with your help it has been reborn and is steamrolling into the next year. I await with baited breath to see the cases that we will handle in the next year. Thank you for your creativity and your friendship. But most of all thank you for being a part of this great community.

Greetings Everyone...
Just wanted to say welcome aboard the USS Artemis NCC-80103 and to the Starfleet Criminal Investigations Unit. The first mission is open for posting. This mission is for the crew to gather and get to know each other as well as what this sim will be about. It will be a nice lead in for our second mission.
Start posting away, I am always available for joint posts. Just a couple of things about posting. First dates... You should be arriving at Poseidon Station on MD001 which is July 7 2397. Remember the date for your own character timelines, but please put MDXXX and the time of your post in the timeline section. For the location box please put in the following format, room where post is occurring, deck, and location. If the deck is not applicable then skip it. For example: Captain's Ready Room - Deck 1 - USS Artemis or Forensic Lab - Andorra. Any back post that you may want to do such as character backstory before arriving at the station. Put the date that the post is occurring in the timeline box. Both Admiral Ford and Captain Kidd will be on the Artemis and the station as of MD001, although the Admiral will not be launching with the ship. You do not have to arrive on MD001, you can arrive whenever you want your character to.
Second, ending your posts. In the ooc section of the Wiki you will find a signature page. Please copy and paste the html code for your signature and place it at the bottom of your post. This is especially important on joint posts as it tells the other writers that you are done with the post and ready to send it up.
Take a look around the site, it is expanding every day. Thank you for joining the sim and I look forward to writing with you all.
For Now,
Steady As She Goes,
Captain Marc Kidd
Commanding Officer, USS Artemis NCC-80103

Aboard the USS Artemis, a different kind of voyage unfolded—one of the heart. Commander Abernathy "Abe" Rice found himself embarking on an adventure that had little to do with star systems or nebulae. Instead, it revolved around a mysterious, enigmatic figure—Lieutenant Commander Viessa Kenobi, the El-Aurian Chief Medical Officer.
