Although still under construction, please feel free to comment. httpp://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/8298/devtech.html As of now, applications for this department will no longer be accepted. From now on, members will be accepted by appointment only. The current roster will be frozen until furthur notice. Admiral Rascal now heads the department until the completion of the Romulan project. The other executives working on this project will be Cmdr. Robby, Cmdr. Hal, Lt. Cmdr. RQ, Lt. Cmdr. Sonata. All other departmental officers and will be assigned tasks at the discretion of the executives ENGINEERING ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to reorganisation of Engineering, no report is available at this time. There has been some major personnel changes in this department. Please view the section regarding staff movements below. INTELLIGENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Department has been very busy this month with standard duties. It seems that Ten Forward has had an influx of persons causing trouble in recent weeks. Intelligence has been working very hard at gathering any information available on these subjects. We have also started adding new members to the roster. To find out if you were added, check the communications page at the Intelligence Site at: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Nebula/4581/ Although there were quite a few new names, we will be adding a few more within the next week. Congratulations to all who have been added! Deputy Reese had to step down from his position due to time constraints. He is no longer part of the Intelligence Deptartment. To resolve the new slot as Deputy, D@emon was moved up to become the official Deputy of Intelligence. Cyanide will assume the duties as Vice-Deputy. Both men have worked hard and earned their positions. Finally, we now have a new sub-domain. The purpose is to give the Intelligence Department more space to post any projects that we may be working on. However, this project was just put underway, so there won't be much on the site for quite some time yet. Still, the address is working and can be visited and/or bookmarked for future reference. The address is : http://TFIntell.over-the-edge.com/ SECURITY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security reports that incidents of persons transgressing on Ten Forward guidelines were dealt with quickly and efficiently. No serious troublemakers were reported in the month of August. Security has added further personnel to the departental ranks. Welcome to Security's newest officer, Lt. JG. Raederle. Security is looking into forming a current projects sub-department. This option is awaiting Admiralty approval. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following outlines R&D activities : Character Pics Found at : http://www.geocities.com/area51/hollow/3723/chardata.html This site was officially opened on TF's anniversary.

If you have concerns, please advise one of the Administrative Department in confidence. TF has lost two of its most loved and hardest working officers indefinately due to unfortunate circumstances. Intelligence - Lt D@emon The Lt. has been forced into the position of taking extended shore leave for a period of time. He hopes to return shortly to his duties within the Department. We wish him a speedy return. Communications - Commander Ivonna Due to some real life pressures upon her life, Ivonna has been forced to cut back on internet hours. As such, she can no longer perform her duties to the high standard she has demonstrated in the past. She chose to resign effective immediately from her position as Head of Communications, to enable the continued smooth running of the department. We wish her well, and hope to see her return when she has time. HVG has been moved to Head of Department. Further queries should be directed to him. Should you wish to send a personal message of good wishes to Ivonna, her email address is Ivonna@hotmail.com. Department of Communications The new staff structure is : Lt. Cmdr.
