New Dawn Arrives
 
 
 
“Good morning Carrigan Station, this is the New Dawn requesting docking permission on approach from vector Two Eight Dot Two Five”
 
“Good morning New Dawn. We’ve got you in line for Landing Bay One Two. There are engineering bots all over the landing pad cleaning up a mess an Elarian cargo shuttle left us this morning, but they’re almost off the deck now”
 
“E-T-A Carrigan?”
 
“Twenty minutes New Dawn, please proceed to Sierra Two Eight and hold on approach vector”
 
“Roger, Carrigan”
 
“Typical”, Erik muttered sarcastically while lighting a cigarette he rolled together from dried mushrooms he had stashed away from his last visit to Vezu that gave a slightly sweet and cinnamon-like scent when burned and kept him calm and focused, something he needed after a 37-hour warp haul. “Seven weeks on contract, and now we’ve got twenty minutes waiting in line because of Elarians”, he exhaled, “The alliance should have revoked their docking privileges years ago, they never clean up after themselves…” 
 
Sam, who was sitting next to Erik wearing a suit he very well may not have taken off since the last time they docked at Carrigan Station, covered his headset with his hands and groaned “So help me god, if we get held up in customs again Erik”, turning to face him, “do I need to remind you of the last time we came to Carrigan?”
 
“Don’t worry Sam, Maarna has a connection that took care of the permits for us this time”, Erik kept his eyes forward.
 
“Is this the same connection that gave us the ‘clue-in’ on a haul of Aeurilium that took us 25 jumps into the middle of dead space with nothing to show for it?”, Sam turned back to his console as he keyed in navigation coordinates to the approach lane for the bay they had been assigned.
 
“I seem to recall you being quite happy about the detour we made to Grenner V on the way back to Vezu”, Erik grinned.
 
“Yeah, well, I seem to recall sightseeing on Grenner not paying for a new pulse pump array!”, Tyler’s yell came in over the ship’s radio, the roar of a fusion core cooling down under visible strain after coming in from warp deafening anything else he had to say about the matter, which Erik surmised was full of cursing and something about now needing a new superposition stabilizer.
 
“No, but I don’t remember it coming out of your pocket the last I checked, either”, Erik spoke sternly followed by a long line of muffled cursing over the headset. Ignoring Tyler, “Now get the cargo bay pressurized, I want the deck ready as soon as possible!”. 
 
Erik glanced at a status console overhead momentarily to verify Tyler had heard him, and that the pressure was changing. Seeing an incoming message on his console, he returned his attention to Carrigan Station’s control tower channel.
 
“New Dawn, This is Carrigan Station”
 
Erik inhaled on his cigarette, “Go ahead, Carrigan”
 
“Bay One Two is in standby for entry pressurization, proceed through to Alpha Whiskey Seven, you are clear for final adjustment to Papa Tango Nine at Five Point Impulse”
 
 Turning a knob on the control panel in front of him, “What’s the weather like today Carrigan?”
 
“We could use a breath of fresh air here New Dawn”
 
Smiling to himself, “Thank you, Carrigan”
 
“Welcome back New Dawn”
 
The large solar shades obstructing the view into space lowered, revealing the towering station that stretched as far as the eye could see in any direction from Erik’s seat on the bridge. Small shuttles and civilian craft moved about quickly to and from, and in all directions around it. 
 
A symphony of brightly colored billboards scattered the docking lanes on almost every station in the inhabited galaxy, and by no means was Carrigan Station lacking in that regard. Carrigan’s entrepreneurs were a bit extravagant by comparison, though, and in fierce competition with one another they had funded the construction of massive glowing billboards that lined every lane around the station and certainly dwarfed a light freighter like the New Dawn. 
 
Erik, of course, grinned. In every billboard, all he could see was money for the taking. 
 
New Dawn drifted through the narrow lanes, Sam keeping a close eye on the inertial sensors in front of him, Erik taking note of the lane designations as he navigated towards the bay they had been assigned.
 
Bay Twelve’s massive hangar doors retracted as the New Dawn groaned from its inertial dampeners engaging, followed by a jolt that could be felt throughout the ship as the landing thrusters deployed in sync with one another lowering the ship at a controlled rate onto the docking platform. The New Dawn strained audibly under the station's artificial gravity but quickly settled into place ready for its cargo bay to be lowered onto the platform below. 
 
Red flashing lights illuminated the bay as the hangar doors slowly closed again behind the New Dawn, followed by a long burst of hot steam from the life support ventilation ducts opening. A siren roared throughout the bay before the flashing lights faded into a stable but dim fluorescent green color that brought a lifeless aura to the deck signaling the air was safe (by station-inhabiter standards) for breathing. 
 
The New Dawn had arrived.
 
 

Personally, I think organisations are far too transient to belong on a wiki. To me a wiki is about hard data. 
 
Of course you could always file it under history. 
 
 

Sounds really cool! I'm really happy to see more and more community content being created (even if I can't understand it  ). Keep it up!

I actually DU have suggestions. There is a full Universe of possibilities to see and DU.
Imagine a middle finger gesture to turn on weapons.

A long time ago there was a post about Emotes.  This suggestion builds on that: An element (existing or new) that can detect when an emote has occurred within a definable area/location.
 
But what use could such a detector have? Sure, saluting a door to have it open is funny the first few times but let's take it a bit further. How about showing a warning on a screen when someone gestures rudely? Or using a combination of gestures to open a container? Or a drink pops up at the bar when someone waves? Or making a in-game game called Emote Emote Revolution? With LUA the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
 
DU you have more suggestions of what could be made with an emote detector?

Oh Novaquark has a few, I'll sell you one of theirs for 50 bucks. 

When I saw the title I was concerned, but after reading I see I misjudged what you were going to post. I wish you luck in getting your org started here in DU.

Heyo!

Don't let us scare you away like the others~

The worst part of this is, while making this meme, my gf saw what I was doing and was very disappointed in me.
