The International StarShip (ISS) Orpheus I is being sent on a mission, launching from moonbase Artemis on 26 December 2079. Our trajectory will take us to Deimos International Cooperative Station and then to Europa Station. From there we will journey towards Saturn where our mission objective [currently for captain's eyes only] is.
The ship, a state-of-the-art joint venture between the European Federation, the United States of North America, the East Asian Cooperative Union, and the South Asian Confederal States can operate with a skeleton crew of four, but the mission would work best with nine crewmates. If you are interested in being among the first humans to visit Saturn, please apply as a response to this message for one of the eight positions listed below. If accepted you will receive a private response to the interview stage before you are given access permission to the Orpheus.
Positions Needed (still looking for marked with a *):
EDIT: Just some general housekeeping for clarification: obviously this is for a sci-fi RP. I'm looking for a team, minimum of four, maximum of nine to go on a long-term journey through the galaxy. I'm usually at least a paragraph or a multi-paragraph writer. In addition to the sci-fi, there will probably be elements of action/adventure, mystery, horror, border-line fantasy (in the same way that Star Wars is "science fantasy"), and romance (if that's something you're interested in. I, as the captain, do not plan on engaging in that, but hey, we'll be out in space for months or years and what crew mates do in their down time is their business).
Recommended reading/watching: 2001: A Space Odyssey (the Clarke novel and the Kubrik film), the sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact is also very good, The Martian by Andy Weir, the (2015) film, and his second novel Artemis, Sunshine (2007), Moon (2009), Arrival (2016), Apollo 13 (1995), John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), Alien (1979), The Wandering Earth (2019), Life (2017), Apollo 18 (2011), I, Robot by Isaac Asimov (not the film which is rather silly, but the book does deal with topics and elements of robotics and space similar to what we might have to deal with). Recommended games that serve as inspiration: Out There: Omega Edition, Stellaris, Among Us (which is really just The Thing: The Game), Planetbase, Portal and Portal 2, We Went Back, and Prey, to name just a couple.
