Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home. (0 comments | Add)

StarTrek.com continues its new series of regular production schedule updates with news that the fourth episode of the season -- "A Night In Sickbay" -- completed its production schedule yesterday after only six-and-a-half days.

The episode has been previously alluded to by producer Rick Berman as a humorous "Odd Couple" type of episode between Captain Archer and Doctor Phlox while the captain accompanies his dog, Porthos, in Sickbay overnight.

The report also explains that the several beagles who play Porthos had an unusual amount of screen time this week and Performing Animal Troop trained the dogs for various scenes including "playing sick" and allowing Scott Bakula to run decontamination gel on them for a scene in which Porthos has been infected and must take a trip to the decon chamber.

While production was half the time of a regular episode for this installment, several optical effects will add extra life to the episode, including one the official site calls "along the lines" of the CGI-extra-wide smile that Doctor Phlox donned in the series premiere "Broken Bow." Actor John Billingsley also wore new foot prosthetics for a view of Denobulan feet.

"A Night In Sickbay" is directed by David Straiton, who also directed last season's "Desert Crossing" and has worked on CHARMED, ANGEL and SPECIAL UNIT 2.

On Thursday, regular ENT guest star Vaughn Armstrong ('Admiral Forrest') returned to shoot scenes as a Kreetassan -- the race from "Vox Sola" who are easily offended. The Kretassan will likely send the NX-01 toward the Quonset mining colony it arrives at in the Klingon episode "Marauders," first revealed by TrekWeb yesterday.
