Crisis Resolution

While the crew is expected to spot and report anything of significance from their systems, sometimes a more holistic approach is required to solve mission scenarios faced by Endeavour.

Consider a situation where Endeavour enters a region of space that contains a nebula-like phenomenon that is emitting anomalous readings. The vessel slows and comes to a full stop, despite the engines running as normal. No amount of thrust will move the ship forwards or backwards.

If the bridge crew had a script, they would make a few prescient observations and the captain could then make some improbable leap of logic to connect everything and and give orders that free the ship.

In immersive sci-fi there are no scripts. While the bridge crew are ultimately expected to make decisions, they’re not expected to have all the answers. They’ll seek assistance from their virtual crew to analyse different aspects of the situation and suggest possible solutions.

The virtual crew will have full access to monitoring consoles so they can see the same data the crew does and will be able to make control changes in a sandbox environment to simulate different solution options.

Being the first to propose a solution will earn you credit. Even if you’re not first, assessing and recommending another solution that you think should work will get you a share of that credit. But back the wrong solution and you’ll miss out.

If your solution is chosen you’ll be communicating directly with the bridge crew, who will co-ordinate their teams’ options to develop a complete solution that rescues the ship. Thanks in part to you, the captain now has the right orders to give.

Join the Action

This is just one way you can take part in Endeavour’s mission as part of the virtual crew.

Not only can you watch the action live as it’s happening, as virtual crew you’ll have full access to actual vessel consoles so that you can monitor systems and adjust control settings to test your solution ideas.

What you discover or develop will be delivered directly into the action so your crewmates can assess and recommend your contribution. If you spotted something first or solved a problem better then you’ll see it unfold onscreen and career-advancing credit will be coming your way.

Enjoy enough success like that and you’ll be soon be stepping onto the bridge to join the onscreen crew.
