Star Trek: Galilea #5 "From the Other Side"

Star Trek: Galilea was a fan audio drama series I took part in. I was a member of the writing staff throughout the series, and played Commander Valkon.

Check it out here.

[Note - 3/12/2014] The is the second full episode I wrote, and I'm really proud of how well it came together. The title is a reference to this episode being entirely from the Romulan point of view, which we thought would be a fun angle to explore before everything went to shit. This is my second draft. Aside from giving everything a tidying over, there was nothing significant cut or changed from the first draft. Kevin gave it a few final revisions before recording.

To date, this is the last episode we completed for the show. There was another, "Sauntering Vaguely Downwards", written by Alina, which was fully scripted and, I believe, almost entirely recorded, but it fell victim to life getting in the way of things and people drifting as the project gained distance. There were about 2-3 more episodes planned beyond that to wrap up the storyline of the first season.

Star Trek: Galilea #4 "Crystal Clear"

Star Trek: Galilea was a fan audio drama series I took part in. I was a member of the writing staff throughout the series, and played Commander Valkon.

Check it out here.

[Note - 3/12/2014] This was Kevin's episode, but he was having a difficult time working out the first contact sequence because, by my memory, we hadn't entirely worked out what exactly the Shintari were beyond them being crystalline and having scavenged Borg tech. So I did a draft of that chunk - focusing on sound and music references, and filling our question of why they've avoided space travel by having them be blind - and he revised it for the final draft.

And by this point in our scripts, we'd started to use "Okuda" as a placeholder for technical jargon to be added later.

I'm especially proud of my dad's performance in this episode, and it was a thrill getting to direct him through lines I wrote.

Star Trek: Galilea #2 "Ship Shape"

Star Trek: Galilea was a fan audio drama series I took part in. I was a member of the writing staff throughout the series, and played Commander Valkon.

Check it out here.

[Note - 3/12/2014] This is the first of two episodes I wrote. Below is my original first draft. It went through a rewrite before Kevin gave it a final polish. I decided to include this one here, despite it being a bit rough, because it has a couple significant differences from the final show. First, Dr. Kraczinski was originally written as a male. Second, there's the setup for a subplot involving the engineering crew working with holo copies of themselves which we decided to strip out until we could focus on it in season two, which was going to be more episodic in structure. The three-part episode was going to be called "Three-By-Three Way". I worked out most of the story beats and may go ahead and write it one day.
