|BLURB= Though he has not been with us for terribly long Talos Dakora, has already made clear his ability to write, and write well. In the span of just a couple months, his creativity, levity, and prowess has been put on full display. His descriptive and engaging sims are a treat to read, and firmly solidify him as a writer of great potential. It’s a pleasure to interview him here today. | |||

Thank you to Talos for agreeing to answer a few questions that will allow us to get to know the player behind Ensign Dakora a little better!: | |||
'''<font color="#350069">When did you first join StarBase 118? What compelled you to join?</font>''' | |||
I joined the group as Talos in March of this year. I was drawn to this group by the professionalism of the staff, the amount of players and how established the group/game is itself. How many other PBeM groups are 20+ years old? | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What is it that you enjoy most about being a member of StarBase 118?</font>''' | |||
I have a boring desk job, so the ability to be creative and live out the adventures of a Starfleet Officer while collaborating with a bunch of great people is my favorite part of being a member of this group. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">If you could make any mission or side plot happen, what would it be??</font>''' | |||
Someday, I would like to participate in a mission where I encounter the Mirror Universe version of Talos or where we are transported back to some critical moment in history. I feel like those are the kinds of classic Star Trek stories that would be a lot of fun to write about. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Delving into Talos, would you tell us a little about how you developed him - he certainly has an interesting backstory?</font>''' | |||
Delving into Talos, would you tell us a little about how you developed him - he certainly has an interesting backstory? | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What is it that appeals to you about playing an Intelligence Officer?</font>''' | |||
I like the flexibility of the position. You can play it as more of an analyst, who pours over all of the information and comes up with the key piece of intel at just the right moment or you can play it as a more direct action duty post who can go into the field with the away team and take care of business. Depending on the opportunities (and what your CO allows) I think there is a lot of potential for fun story lines as an Intel Officer. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">You can place yourself on any ship, StarBase 118, or TV series. Which would it be, and it what role would you want to serve?</font>''' | |||
That's an easy one: Captain of the Enterprise during the Kirk era. Play fast and loose with the prime directive, rip your shirt kicking the bad guy's butt, attend a funeral for the red shirts and shack up with that gorgeous alien. All in a days work! No, but seriously I like the idea of being sort of on your own on the "5 Year Mission" and being among the first to discover new worlds and civilizations. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What is your history with Star Trek?</font>''' | |||
My dad and uncles always had TNG and Voyager on as a kid, but I never really got into Trek until I saw Star Trek (2009). I enjoyed that movie and immediately went out and bought the TOS Blu Rays and fell in love with the rest of Trek in the following years. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Outside of StarBase 118 and the universe of Star Trek, how do you enjoy spending your time?</font>''' | |||
I'm constantly upgrading and rebuilding my "fleet" of gaming PCs, I swear I have more fun doing that than actually playing games on them. I'm a big time VR enthusiast too and I'd love to play VR games with anyone in the Fleet who plays them. When I'm not being a giant nerd I like hiking, barbecuing, and participating in IDPA matches. | |||
