Copernicus On-Board Intranet - RP Thread

[Coin]

While the Copernicus was equipped with fantastic memory banks to store information, technological know-how and simulations to supply any colony in any environment with the necessary expertise, the designers also found time to create a virtual location for social media, businesses and associations of colonists to discuss matters with each other in an informal manner. While key crew personnel have access to a higher-encryption channel, the hope of the designers was to foster a feeling of community among the crew, passengers and colonists post-awakening.

Basically a handy rp thread for you guys to advertise yourselves, rp your characters as they go about their business aboard ship or once you're landed, or indeed to argue amongst yourselves if you so wish.
