Chapter 1 is here. Due to some Forums shenanigans (damn you, automerge), I was only able to post it as a separate comment now. Anyway.

I like your reference to Star Trek Enterprise

[TotallyNotHuman]

I knew someone would notice it!

Keep an eye out for more references (both ST and otherwise).

Cannot into grammar

Yes, both you and Kuzzter have the same problems, mimicking star trek(Its not like I'm NOT a fan of star trek, I enjoy it a lot)

Yeah, I haven't seen that series in a long time, but the moment I started reading it, I was like, I know I've seen this be- Star Trek Enterprise, pilot episode!

The 'problems' you mention are nonexistent. Go to TVTropes and read this. You'll find that many derivative works have shout-outs to their parent works or entirely different works. There is nothing wrong with a nod to another work.

Case in point: The Savage Chicken from the Freefall webcomic. You'll notice that its call sign is 1071-CCN. Oh, noes! It's the Enterprise's call sign backwards! Get the pitchforks! Get the torches! Get the lawyers!

Does this happen at all?

The answer is no. Content creators do not give a flying (bleep) if you give a shout-out to them. Often, they welcome it. So no, these are not problems.

In the future, I would also suggest that you take a couple of grammar classes.

But wow. Mentioning Kuzzter and myself in the same breath. I'm honored, though the circumstances are anything but.

It is a joke, but still, I see everyone making references to it. Sorry about that, I don't mean any offense, I am just a very sarcastic person, and the grammar..... i don't want not to talk about it.

(Beware, joke above, the real answer to your grammar question is that I hate proofreading my posts)

"Kouston, we have several problems, but that doesn't matter so we want to continue on with the mission."

[TotallyNotHuman]

Understood.

Sorry about my tone earlier; I was running on a near non-existent amount of sleep. All is forgiven.

Poe's Law says you should always make sarcasm explicit. Around here, that usually means suffixing a "" or a "" to the joke in question.

Here, let me un-mobile-ify it for you: Poe's law

[Alpha 360]

Right, I unfortunately am gaining a reputation for making sarcastic remarks concerning petty things, this is.... unfortunate.

Obligatory 'OP is an dumS' post:

Yesterday (my time), standardized testing swept through my school like wildfire. Because midnight EDT corresponded to noon my time, and my class took the standardized test during 5th hour [12:00 ~ 12:50], I was not able to send it in time. Astonishingly, I managed to forget about it until bedtime last night, at which point I went "oh, frak".

Chapter 3 will be airing (hopefully) same kerb-time, same kerb-channel today.

I'm on a streak. Not necessarily a good one, mind you. This is the second time in a row I've failed to post on time. Anyway - Chapter 4!

Next time on First Flight: Our intrepid crew departs for 1451-1 R3III 203, and thus concludes Part One.

[Readerty2007]

So far so good.

Happy Birthday!

A fine update to celebrate it with too.  

Edit:  As you were looking for feedback, I have one minor formatting request. I get that you don't want to put Alpha's speech in quotation marks to differentiate it from the rest of the crew - that's fine. But using italics or  < > brackets or some other marks instead would help to make it more readable.

Cheers.

[TotallyNotHuman]

D'aww thanks, @KSK. Nice of you to take time away from your writing to wish me well.

Regarding the date - I had planned for FF to go live on Monday, March 13, but I completely forgot. So, I aired it on π Tuesday. Who knew my birthday would land on a Tuesday as well? 

[TotallyNotHuman]

@KSK - regarding your suggestion about the formatting: yes, it was intended to be in a monospace font. However, the conversion to Markdown mangled things slightly.

They will be receiving a quick refactor that makes Alpha's speech and all bold segments (which was supposed to be Courier New Bold) be in a monospace font instead of a proportional font, as is right and proper.
