Description During a routine check with Maundrian III monitoring outpost, the crew of the Rama is presented with a situation that is anything but routine!

=============

A story without an actual story
It was unintentional, but there's something sort of Berkeyesque about the piece... at least to my eye.

I keep seeing these Archer-class ships and I wish I had one of my own. Keep up the AWESOME and MAGNIFICENT work, Arcass. I really enjoy seeing your work.

Your work on the Archer-class is very inspiring. I've been tempted to create my own crew for one.

I've been busy with writing for a Trek Fanfiction group called Tales of the 11th Fleet. However, I should give it a shot. It might be interesting to try.

Cool. Reminds me of book covers from the '70s.

I guess those wonderful old cover works influenced me more than I consciously realize.
That said, THANK YOU! High praise, to be sure

Beautiful sense of scale. Love it.

RobCaswell In reply to GrahamTG [2012-02-05 02:36:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. That's the cool thing (for me) about the Archer class. It allows a more "intimate scale" to a Trek render, kinda giving you the impression that you could just crawl inside and fly it away

Ptrope [2012-02-04 04:15:52 +0000 UTC]

I'd also say it's somewhat reminiscent of Vincent diFate's work (maybe even more so).

Very cool and crisp; nice composition, as usual .

Vektorix [2012-02-04 03:55:53 +0000 UTC]

Is the Archer Class comparable in size to the Defiant? Seems about that way based on scale of the shuttle, etc....

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RobCaswell In reply to Vektorix [2012-02-04 04:06:00 +0000 UTC]

Nope. Considerably smaller than the defiant. I'd guess 1/3 to 1/4 the size.

The was only one person left aboard the outpost with a blue British police box that could not be opened. The man introduced himself as "I'm the Doctor." And he wouldn't stop saying things like "How did you get 'here, and now?' I mean really." and "You're only 'supposed' to exist."

They arrive at the monitoring post only to learn that it's time for their annual 'Aldebaran Whiskey Appreciation' party.

Two ensigns were arrested
A lieutenant now has pink hair in places she wasn't aware she had places
3 tribbles are still unaccounted for.

Well... it's fill in the blank. I really only wanted to tease at a larger story, ala the first three minutes of an episode.

May I reminder you that it was your idea to bring the alien aboard. You said the ship needed a mascot.
