U.S.S. Malta Roleplay
With permission of Commander Sophie Johnson – I will be the reporter in the background on this article.
Note of this reporter: All events, statements and spoken content from this point is roleplay. So promotions and assignments are not real in GalaxyFleetCommand.
As I came aboard the Bridge of the U.S.S. Malta there were five people: Yaz, Petty Officer Mitsuki Renari, Captain Richardjrn Weatherwax, Commander Sophie Johnson and Lieutenant T’Lara Ek’Tal. Later came Captain Kie Braveheart in with Commander Doc Songlord to the Bridge. The ship approaches her destination which is, Earth Spacedock.
There is a ceremony going to take place there which involves the Captain as he is already dressed in Dress uniform. Commander Johnson returns to the Bridge also dressed in Dress Uniform. Captain Braveheart left the bridge again. It seems to me that there will be high ranking officers at this so called ceremony. We transported down to Earth Spacedock and Captain Braveheart was already present there.
The ceremony starts.
Captain Braveheart is reading out loud an order from Vice-Admiral Jonathan Calder; Starfleet Command which says:
“To Captain Kieran Braveheart
Commanding Officer USS Malta
You are promoted to the rank of Commodore with an immediate transfer to the Diplomatic Corps.
Furthermore you are hereby requested and required to relinquish command of USS Malta to Commander Sophie Johnson
Signed
Vice-Admiral Jonathan Calder
Starfleet Command”
So Commander Sophie Johnson is Commanding Officer of the USS Malta and she gets promoted to Captain. After this she gives a speech to the crew. Then the new Captain calls the crew to Ops. There are Crewman Vhelana and Ensign Keri Summers present.
Commodore Braveheart explains the situation; ” Task Force 29 has come under attack…as Sophie knew they would by a Klingon armada what’s unusual however is the weaponry these ships had. Now, I’ve just ordered 3 star ships to head that way to investigate, however Sophie, I want you to take USS Malta and lead the investigation.”
Captain Johnson gives the crew her orders and they all go back to their stations on the Bridge.
They get underway to do their investigation and Lieutenant Ek’Tal gets promoted to Lieutenant Commander and gets assigned to be the new First Officer to Captain Johnson.
This concludes the mission of the U.S.S. Malta today, called: U.S.S Malta Ep23

Security in action
Security has always fascinated me. They are the people who protect GFC: not only those in it, but also its integrity. They are the ones to go to when something goes wrong, when cool heads are needed, when the way of life as we know it, is threatened.
But exactly *how* do they do that? How do they make sure that GFC remains a safe place, where everyone can perform their duties in peace and harmony? I decided to find out.
When I arrived at the sandbox, the first thing I noticed was Commander Sophie Johnson sitting there, behind a self-made security desk. Quite an ingenious way of show security’s presence, I figured. Still, I wasn’t here to hand out compliments… I was here to cause trouble.
Now I wasn’t about to fire weapons, detonate bombs or yell obscenities. That’s just not my style. No… instead, I took the biggest mattress I could find… and threw it at Commander Johnson. To say she was surprised was an understatement.
She quickly recovered though. “Commodore McMillan, this is your first warning,” she spoke up. “You are infringing the rules of this sim. Please stop immediately.”
Of course I couldn’t stop. I needed to push the Commander to the edge. If I wanted to know what Security was made of, and how they dealt with mattress-throwing threats, I needed to continue. So I made a snide comment about her father smelling of elderberries, and threw even more mattresses. It was a good thing I had a stocked up at the quartermaster, before coming here.
Still, Commander Johnson wasn’t impressed. “After failing to adhere to instructions given by the on-duty Security officer – I am issuing you with your second warning,” she informed me. “Should you reach three, I will have no choice but to remove you from the sim using applicable force.”
I had to admit, her restraint was admirable. If I were the one who had glorified pillows thrown at me, I probably would have reacted differently. Granted, I would have laid down on one of those mattresses and I’d be fast asleep, but that’s another point entirely.
So I continued. “Eat comfy pillow!” I yelled.
It was at that point that Johnson took a step forward. “This is your third and final warning. Stop or force will be used,” she told me.
I glared at the sidearm Johnson had with her, and quickly did the math: a mattress against a blaster. I wouldn’t stand a chance. Still, she wouldn’t fire at me, would she? I swallowed away my fears – after all, as a reporter, I knew I had to take a chance every now and again – and threw my last mattress.
All of a sudden, I found a transporterbeam locking on to me. As I dematerialised, I realised that it was Johnson who had called for one. Pretty smart… and non-violent, thank goodness.
I materialised inside a brig, on one of GFC’s orbiting ships. Johnson had transported up as well, so I quickly explained what I had been doing: that I was testing her to see how security responded. That all of this was for a story. An official GFC story, for that matter.
Commander Johnson didn’t budge. “I hope you like your stay here, Commodore,” she said with a serious look on her face. Her glare made the faint smile disappear from my face. “You’re going to be here a while.” And with that, she beamed out.
So yeah, here I am. I wanted to know how Security works… and I guess I’ve found out. They work pretty well. Better not commit any kind of crime, otherwise you’d end up alone in a holding cell…
Like me.
Can someone please get me out of here?

Special thanks to: Commander Sophie Johnson.
Note: Naturally, all of this was pre-planned. Sophie and I discussed this at length, and she was fully in agreement with everything that happened. So there was no actual griefing going on.
Griefing is bad folks… don’t do it, or you’ll have to deal with actual bans and such!
