It's that time again!

Jenna McKinson is a fine writer, but more than that she's an expert at juggling NPCs. Through Jenna she actually runs a handful of minor characters that revolve around her primary character. At first, I didn't know quite what to make of this but she does it so well and writes it all so wonderfully I can't balk. Much.

This month a Jenna post using her NPCs and that seamlessly furthered the plot was nominated:

[ Puzzles - NPC Post as Eliana ]

Eliana internally rolled her eyes. She had only meant to ask because Rixxy was closer. It seemed like a dead thing and she decided that it was easier to drop the subject. This was partly due to the fact that Lissy was present. There was something about the woman that Eliana couldn't place. Maybe it was the confidence the woman was emanating, but she knew that she would want to get to know this woman more.

Eliana walked over to the nearest pay station. "So are you new to the station? We have quite a few regulars here and I was just curious," Eliana asked. Normally, Lissy would be irritated at small talk, but the woman in front of her seemed different. It even made her crook a smile. "You could say in a way," Lissy said. "If you have any questions about the promenade let me know. that will be 23 credits," Eliana said. Lissy continued to smile, which would normally disgust her. However, it seemed rather easy to chat to Eliana.

[ Deck 23 ]

Jenna and Molly had just finished their work. As they were cleaning up, they were approached by a shady looking individual. He was holding two PADDs. Jenna subtly reached for her phaser. Normally she wouldn't keep it on her during a shift, but she got a nasty feeling the beginning of the day.

"These PADDs are for Ms. McKinson and Ms. Lewis," the man said. He was dressed in a StarFleet uniform. The two ladies read the message on their PADDS. The man had already left at this point. Jenna's past, which she wanted to sweep under the rug, had seemed to come back. Though her heart sank, what intrigued her was reading about the Syndicate. Though she had talked a bit about her past with Molly, she did not go into full detail. There were some things she was no proud of doing and wanted to keep a secret. She had hoped that this would not divide her and Molly. She had wondered if Molly's PADD said the same thing, but the look she gave her was all that was needed.

Though normally, they would tell Dan about things, they decided this was much more urgent. They made way toward their quarters and hid the PADDs on their person. They wanted to quickly ease into things. Jenna had hoped that she was not too rusty on things. Part of her felt a sense of dread, but the rest just wanted to get to her destination quickly. If the Syndicate was close, who knows what damage could be done if they got control of the base. Her mind went to her family and especially her sister. A message was waiting for her at her quarters, but she was so busy she did not have time to get to it.

Congrats, Jenna!
