Star Trek AOS: Inspection of the USS Enterprise Serial Number NCC-1701-A by sad_bi_cowboy  
Fandom: Star Trek AOS/Reboot
Pairings/Characters: Kirk/Spock
Rating: G
Length: 2,242 words
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] sad_bi_cowboy
Theme: Working together, outsider POV

Summary:

"Inspection order number 324867: USS Enterprise

Serial number: NCC-1701-A
Ship Class: Constitution
Ship Claim: Starfleet
Ship Membership: United Federation of Planets

Captain James T. Kirk in command.
Commander S'chn T'gai Spock: First/Chief Science Officer
Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy: CMO
Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott: Chief Engineer
Lieutenant Nyota Uhura: Chief Communications Officer
Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu: Pilot
Ensign Pavel Chekov: Navigator

Inspector Assigned: Lieutenant Jessie Bellamy

End of Transmission"

Reccer's Notes: Lt. Jessie Bellamy performs her first inspection of a Starfleet ship, and she gets the Enterprise in all its chaotic, rulebreaking glory. She's just trying to do her job, but the ship and crew are so far outside the rules that she's having trouble even fitting them into the standards for inspection.

When you read a lot of Star Trek fic, you start to normalize all the wild and irresponsible shit that goes on. This fic provides the perspective of someone who is supposed to evaluate how well the crew are following the rules, and it's fantastic. Lt. Bellamy has to stay on the ship for the duration of the inspection, work with the crew, and survive some of the scrapes the Enterprise gets into. It's hilarious and wonderful.

Thank you for your help! Last week we were looking at Dillon from The Rolling Western!

Natsume's Book of Cards 249  


Natsume's no ordinary boy. Like his grandmother Reiko he has the ability to see youkai... who flock to him and demand to have their names that Reiko stored in the Book of Friends returned. At Colors, Natsume is visited by some of our past deck releases who would like to have their cards returned!

Rules
Every week, one of the releases is picked at random. You can exchange up to five cards from that release for choice cards from that release. You will lose the cards you turn in.

For example, if the chosen release is Release 001, you can turn in an Asobot card and get a choice Logic, Dragon or Optimist card in exchange. Specials can only be gained by turning in other specials!

To get multiple cards from one deck, you need to turn in multiples from another deck as well. You can't get two Logic cards but turning in an Asobot card and a Smile card, but two Asobot cards would work.

This week's release is Release 58

Deckname list:



Please use this form.


Since the prizes for this game are all choice cards and there's no need to pass them out, you can just log them after posting your comment!

This round closes on Sunday, July 20th!

No Context Theater 428  


Some of you might know Kamukura as the guy who was really into boats back in the day. Rumor has it he likes memes now. He's been trying to get into anime lately but sometimes he stumbles upon something that's hard to comprehend even with his numerous talents.

Today in No Context Theater... )

Come up with a possible explanation for the situation in the screencap! It can be anything and as silly or serious as you wish. Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with the series, the purpose of the game is not to guess what actually happened there! Same if you are familiar with the context - pretend that you aren't and make up something on your own!

Source of screencaps will more often than not be Anime Screenshots Without Context

For answering, you'll get 5 new release cards. Every answer is correct and feel free to comment on other people's answers! This round is open till Sunday, July 20th

Gods for Cards!  

Wussup guys? 

Point out a card featuring a god in my Trade Pile - New This Month section and I will give you a whopping 20 random cards from my trade pile as thanks! One God per person to spread the goodies around a little bit please. <3 DONE!

Other than that, I'm open to trades, but I may be a bit hit or miss as I prepare for a move at the end of the month. Big and random trades are always welcome!

And don't forget: you have one week to get deck donations maxed out! The dono center is here to help as always! I'm slowly but surely adding Animal Crossing decks to that if anybody wants to join my insane question to mass collect every character.
