path12, or anyone else in that boat for that matter -- excellent! Feel free to ask any questions you have, and a conventional start is good for that as it allows me to roll out game concepts piecemeal. One of my goals was to be able to do that. I've seen a couple places where somebody thought it was a good idea to start TN right away and try to introduce people to the game ... information overload is a kind way of putting what happens.

** Lt. Cmdr. Chip Overdrive is not doing well, to put it mildly. 23rd out of 23, no current assignment other than endless flight/fleet combat simulations.
** Cmdr. Tell Perj is 4th out of 8 Commanders. Assuming that he doesn't improve his currently-rock-bottom political savvy, it may be a long time yet, if ever, before he makes Captain.
** Lt. Cmdr. Rob Nielsen is 10th out of 23. As with most of the rest of the FOFC officers, he's been better than some of the new recruits and worse than others, basically treading water waiting for something to happen. To be fair, the whole Navy is doing that really. We find his comments about what 'we in the Fleet' do to be hilarious inasmuch as there is no Fleet. There isn't even a shipyard to build a fleet, or technical plans to build a shipyard with which to build a fleet, or a team with the requisite expertise to draw up technical ... you get the idea.
** Lt. Cmdr. Benton Gale is 9th.

** Brig. Gen Path Twelve has been narrowly surpassed by Annette Burkhard, who is one year his junior and was just today promoted to Brigadier General. He is third out of the three to achieve that rank, and is the commanding officer of the 13th Low Tech Armour Battalion. Unlike the other two, there are concerns about his long-term health ...
** Brig. Gen Dolph Stallone is by far the most accomplished of the three generals, and will remain with the 11th Low Tech Armor Battalion for another tour. She is also the de facto head of the human armed forces.

** Slick Willie has little to do aside from dry discussions of projected developments and wishing he were Director-Governor.

** Dr. Deacon Palmer remains in charge of the Trans-Newtonian Tech research team. Right now, he has the most important job in the world -- literally.

Sterling Silvers and Sonny Dean are in the Academy, studying to be approved and commissioned to some vital or even irrelevant assignment.
