STO Admiral Aaron

// I can confirm that @counselor-sunna.bsky.social appears in my #STO offline Foundry story Under the Uniform as Counselor Sunna, continuing the Admiral Aaron tradition of including community managers in the stories.

// To the Fleeties on the Stonewall Fleet Discord: there is an exclusive additional scene waiting for you in the trailer. It is always a great day to join the Stonewall community. 🖖✨

// The uniform carries the weight, but the man carries the story.

Prepare for a journey into the heart.
Under the Uniform, featuring Admiral Aaron, is more than a story. It is a unique #STO Offline Foundry experience.

The voyage continues. Coming soon

// I'm so excited the first Beta reader got back to me about my edits.

Them:

I hope to have it out in February maybe March. As I'm trying to incorporate a visual component as a node to the STO Foundry.

I should clarify beta readers are my irl friends 😉

// Under the Uniform: Update.

I have completed the latest rewrite and edits, and the story is now back with my beta readers. At the moment, the story runs about two hours in audio, with an additional forty five minutes of appendices.

Fuck the haters. We feel seen in it. I'm all in on #TeamKraagovic

I love Academy. It really makes me feel seen. Fuck the haters. I'm #TeamKraagovic

Bulge Trek is my favorite Trek.

// Under the Uniform:

Yes, the story actually exists. I promise I am not making it up, even though someone really asked me that. #STO 😄

// Interesting challenge I am running into: as a Foundry author I could always repatch my missions when mistakes were found. With writing, once it is released, revisions are a lot less forgiving. #STO

// I had one of those moments where I rewrote an entire paragraph, came back three hours later, and wondered how it somehow ended up worse than when I started.

// Writing a story is fun until the rewrite stage, when you realize the first draft was just a very detailed note to yourself explaining what you actually meant to write.

// Before the release of Under the Uniform, I thought it would be the perfect time to look back at where this journey began for Admiral Aaron and the crew of the Northstar, from the #STO Foundry era to the story now taking shape.

// Under the Uniform - Update:

I'm sorry I won't meet my personal target of #STO Season 35 / Valentine's Day release.

I'm currently in rewrites. Thank you for your patience.

Good point. I'm on V 3.4 of the story. Hehehe.

// Question:

I am still in the editing stage for Under the Uniform, but the first four chapters are ready.

Should I release them in the coming days, or wait until the full story is complete? I am also considering a weekly release with a few chapters at a time.

#STO #USSNorthstar

Me too.

// More of my STO Admiral Aaron Foundry ideas confirmed in #StarTrek:

Drag performers in Trek.

In my #STO Foundry missions, every club scene included drag performers, either in the crowd or behind the bar, as part of the world building.

#StarfleetAcademy

Oh, I'm not joking. I've done the same thing too.

At this rate I'll continue to lose weight by not buying snacks due to prices. So, I guess it's a win for my body.

// Tonight I am sitting here honestly feeling a little emotional watching those ideas from my STO Foundry mission finally validated.

// This account is #TeamKraagovic all the way!

// Another STO Admiral Aaron creation confirmed in #StarTrek:

Mixed Trill species are capable of joining.

I still remember the reactions when I introduced a Klingon Joined Trill in my #STO Foundry missions.

// One of my favorite Easter eggs I ever built was in my #STO Foundry mission *Variance*. At the final objectives on a ground map, players could continue forward, but those who ran back along the path discovered a hidden behind-the-scenes area.
