Let's Drift!
Hello, friends! As with all the Star Systems before, the Drift Fleet's time amidst the three conflicting factions is coming to an end. We are running a little behind schedule due to Stick's sudden trip across the country, but now that everyone is back and rested up, we will be rolling out details for the next event as soon as we can.
In the meantime, you may assume that the Marsiva is drifting away from the tri-faction star system, dragging the rest of the Fleet along with her. Passengers will be flying through relatively uneventful space for the next week, which makes this interim a great time to interact with crews, check in with CR, catch up on some old threads, backtag, or whatever floats your boat! Players are more than welcome to continue tagging old threads set in the tri-faction system for as long as they want.
WRAPPING UP.
The sprawling star system full of mystery, abundant resources, and dynamic, competing factions is sadly fading into the distance. There were hints of information connecting this system to certain others visited in the past, but the curious will have to be content with their notes and transcriptions as the Fleet packs up and follows its Hostship into the black.
During the time spent in the system, many ships collected things like furniture, interior decoration, and (perhaps) even faction-themed paint jobs. Most changes were meant to temporarily blend into the ranks of the factions, but if there are any additions to ships or shuttles that you would like to keep around, let us know! To make a change to a ship or shuttle official and more permanent, head over to our Ships & Crews page and submit a quick ship-addition commment. This way, we can add notes of new changes directly to a ship's personal spreadsheet page!
And since many passengers have likewise picked up additions to their wardrobes, personal effects, weapons, and so on... We thought it would be fun to hear about them too! Just for kicks, we've put a comment below for you to show off the new clothes, tools, supplies, or other awesome stuff that your characters have collected during their time spent in the system. There is no obligation to do so, since this is unofficial and just for fun, but if you would like to comment here for your own personal notes, or to show off the goodies your character has collected from the factions, have at it!
THE DRIFTING WEEK.
For players who may not be familiar with it, the Drifting Week is a vaguely-week-long period of time between each star system, where the the Fleet is drifting through mostly-empty space, giving both players and passengers a chance to take a breath. We think it is the perfect time to catch up with new and old crew members, play out some ship dynamics, catch up on old threads, or even start new backdated threads. Ultimately, this time is for you guys--so use it however you want!
As far as the setting goes, the Drift Fleet will be flying through open, uneventful space for about a week. There isn't much to see aside from stars and the occasional piece of space rock. A couple of days in, passengers will notice some of the standard waystations dotting the way, which they are welcome to park at for refueling, socializing, or very disappointing shopping.
If anyone has any questions about this week, or any leftover questions from the previous event, feel free to drop us a comment in the QUESTIONS section below! Otherwise, have a happy Drift Week!

That's hopefully going to be the plan! I like to have a fresh setting for the TDM so it'll probably go up not long after the new system hit. That said, players are still completely free to use newer settings (or their own settings) in the current Summer TDM if they are tired of using the older prompts!

He also made some coin, ahem, through business deals, ahem.

The Kaylee tag has already been added, it's what you wrote down for her name on her app (which is kaywinnet lee "kaylee" frye).
The reason it looks like it's not on the list yet is because for some reason, DW requires you to type out the tag the first time you use it before it appears even if the mod already added it on. But once that step's done, it work just fine!
Thanks!
Yuff
