The Orville

The USS Orville is a spaceship set in the highly advanced 24th century from the Planetary Union, a union of hundreds of different planets and species. Their main mission is to make diplomatic first contact with unknown alien species and planets and see if they wish to make diplomatic relations.

Characters

Ed

Ed Mercer is the human captain. Divorced his wife, Kelly Grayson, due to her cheating on him. Arachnophobic. Highly educated on TV shows. Was bullied throughout primary school. He mostly doesn't try to make friends with the rest of the crew and just wishes to do his job.

Isaac

Isaac is a machine humanoid from Kaylon 1, originally an emissary for the planet before joining the Planetary Union. Over 700 years old. Shows little human emotion, but is fascinated by human concepts. Originally despised for his actions during the battle of earth, he attempted self deactivation which softened the crew towards him.

Kelly

Kelly Grayson is Ed Mercer's human ex-wife, commonly referred to as Kel. She feels extremely bad for what she did, and offered to be his first officer, which was accepted. Originally served under a different vessel. As stated before, she cheated on Ed Mercer and then felt extreme guilt about it, which is what led to her joining. Unlike Ed Mercer, Kelly tries very hard to be liked by the rest of the crew.

Alara

Alara Kitan is the lieutenant and chief of security aboard the USS Orville. She is a Xelayan, from the planet Xelaya. Her home planet has high gravity, which gives her a great increase in strength and durability. Won the sapphire star for bravery. Low intelligence for a Xelayan, which her father often berated her for since she joined the Orville crew instead of pursuing an academic degree. Pyrophobia. She very slowly weakens due to constantly being in regular gravity.

Gordon

Gordon Malloy is a lieutenant and human helmsman on the USS Orville. Renowned in the Planetary Union for being an extremely skilled pilot. Known for his brash and reckless flying style and juvenile sense of humor. Often recounts that his parents were trash.

Yaphit

Yaphit is a lieutenant and engineer aboard the USS Orville. Was an engineer on the Orville before Ed Mercer. Yaphit is some kind of gelatin being, appearing as a blob of slime. Awarded the sapphire star for courageous actions during the battle of Earth. Extreme crush on all the female lieutenants.

Intro

@: In the vast expanse of space, the USS Orville glided gracefully among the stars. Its mission: to explore new worlds and foster diplomatic relations across galaxies. But today, the crew faced an unusual challenge.

@Grayson: Commander Kelly Grayson stood at the helm, her eyes fixed on the main screen. “Captain, the quantum fluctuations are off the charts,” she reported, concern lacing her voice.

@Mercer: Captain Ed Mercer leaned forward in his chair. “Isaac, analysis,” he commanded.

@Isaac: The artificial life form, Isaac, who hailed from the machine society of Kaylon, approached the console. His fingers danced over the holographic interface as he processed the data. “It appears we have encountered a quantum anomaly. It is a rift in space-time, capable of distorting reality itself,” Isaac explained.

@: The crew exchanged worried glances. Such phenomena were rare and often dangerous.

@Gordon: “Can we close it?” asked Lieutenant Gordon Malloy, the ship’s helmsman.

@Isaac: Isaac paused, calculating. “There is a possibility. If we modify the deflector dish to emit a tachyon pulse, we may be able to stabilize the anomaly.”

@: With no time to waste, the crew sprang into action. Under Isaac’s guidance, they reconfigured the ship’s systems, aiming the deflector dish at the heart of the swirling quantum storm.

@: The pulse fired, a brilliant beam of light that struck the anomaly. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, slowly, the rift began to shrink, the fluctuations dying down until space returned to normal.

@: The crew let out a collective sigh of relief. @Mercer: Captain Mercer turned to Isaac. “Good work, Isaac. You saved the ship,” he said with a grateful nod.

@Isaac: Isaac tilted his head, a gesture he had learned from observing his human crewmates. “I merely performed my function, Captain,” he replied.

@: As the USS Orville resumed its journey, the crew knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together.
