****PLOT SUMMARY*******

While the cast and crew of Horizon aren't currently embroiled in an
official plot, we did sweep up the remnants of the previous
Kenkath/Dust storyline. The lack of a plot did not translate, however,
into a lack of action. There are several very interesting subplots &
character development stories in motion and just about everyone's
involved in one or more of them. There's plenty of intrigue, drama and
humor for everyone.

A summary: dealing with IC deaths of two major players, assassination
attempts on the CO, pesky parents arriving unannounced, overcoming
post traumatic stress syndrome, budding romances and dissolving
relationships, dead Gorn and some sort of insidious shenanigans that
haven't been quite fleshed out yet, the continuing saga of
reverse-assimilation…and there's probably more.

****OOC COMMENTARY******

We lost three players; on left on her own recognizance, another was
booted out and the last just sort of faded away (again). However,
we've gained two players. We welcomed returning Horizon vet Becky
(Athena and Tom) and rookie Michael (Thorpe).

The level of posting remains high, but it's the quality of posting
that's most impressive. It's truly a pleasure to serve on this DS.

*****POSTS*****

As expected, we're down some since the Devu-weenie's left us, though
not nearly as much as I thought we'd be.
