Crime Busters!

2009-07-22T21:54:00.000-07:00

Hey All!

This is Trevor Campbell, a.k.a. Captain Logan Campbell. Just wanted to let everyone know that we're trying a sort of sub group within our SIM, the Achilles.

What we're doing is we're taking a select group of characters to work on some of the Fleet's more sensitive crimes using our secure Crime Lab on the ship. These characters can have dual roles (i.e, being Chief of Security AND one of the invesigators / lab techs) or can be dedicated to working on the various cases the lab will be charged with handling. The invesigations are going to consist of criminal / forensic cases, disappearances, stange phenomenon, and possibly more! (Pretty much anything we can think up a reason to use the lab for!)

If interested, non members please fill out an application form, while current AQSG members can send an email to trevordavidc@yahoo.com!

Thanks,

Trevor / Logan
