A Sad Milestone
It was August 31, 2009 that the USS Orion launched. We just passed the year and a half mark.
The end of this month (March 31) will be the one year anniversary of the USS Calypso.

State of the Mission (so far)
Hi, everyone!
It's interesting that December and January were busy months in Theta Fleet, but February is slow. lol

If you blinked, you missed him
Two days after Sergeant Benjamin Poteat joined the Calypso, he asked to be removed as he became CMO of another sim.
If you had a JP with him, please delete it. He will not be returning to the Calypso.

Good Luck, Chris!
Chris, who played our Chief Engineer, Kaylaras, has asked to be put on the inactive crew list.
He was on too many sims and needs to cut back (not to mention he's CO of two sims and XO of another).
On behalf of the Calypso, we wish him well!
