Hey y'all!

I will be editing this primary post in this thread with information, characters, and such as I go along. Please feel free to ask any questions or offer feedback on the story here!

Sorry that the opening chapter is a bit grim. I still hope it's good though!

After getting some feedback from the folks I'm playing Discovery with, and consulting a moderator, I've made some formating changes to the story. (1) Hopefully it's more fun to look at now, and (2) I've changed the swearing back to normal swear words, but censoring certain ones with "*"

Hopefully this is less immersion breaking for readers than being constantly subjected to the word "frak" over and over.

>Changed the weapons referenced in part 7 from "Nomad" weapons to generic "experimental" weapons. I don't want to distract from the main plot by accidentally introducing "Chekhov's smoking Nomad gun" only for it to not matter at all to the plot. At least for now I don't have Nomads being a significant part of Mel's story.<
