Last night a player came up with a great way to save her ship and also keep herself safe: transmit a hologram via datastream to another ship to save the day, then bring her back (like Voyager sent the Doctor to USS Prometheus and back).
Alas, she forgot about the fact they were in a comms blackout situation…so the hologram, who also wanted to save the ship, volunteered to create a copy of herself to shuttle over.
The holographic ensign wrote ‘2.0’ on her new doppelganger’s emitter and left her to her mission.
2.0 went to a mutual friend, the ship’s steward (bartender) and hugged her, telling her something the barkeep didn’t understand:
“If I don’t come back, pour me a double tonight.”
The character hated herself for it!… but it was quite delicious hearing the player wail about it (EVIL GRIN)
