====== AH.com The Series ====== //**AH.com The Series**// was [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=14541|a weekly episodic series]] that followed the misadventures of the crew that made up the //**M**ultiverse **E**xploration **S**hip AH.com//, as they traveled from one alternate universe to another. Captained by [[offtopic:Doctor What]], the nemesis to the //AH.com// and its crew were the [[Fallen]]. The AH.com's main rival was the //[[stories:CF.Net]]// and its crew, commanded by [[offtopic:Ward]]. The //AH.com: The Series// universe was created by [[offtopic:Psychomeltdown]] and has been additionally expanded by the numerous writers and contributers over the last four years. Writers who have written three or more episodes are denoted as "[[offtopic:Writer Chimps]]", which, obscurely, is a much coveted and competed for title. By the beginning of the fifth season, the Series has produced 118 episodes and has "outlasted" many real-life science fiction shows in terms of longevity and material. There was also a spin-off series, //**[[stories:AH.com the Next Generation|AH.com: The Next Generation]]**//, initiated by [[offtopic:Jord839]]. A sequel to both the original series and the spinoff, //**[[AH.com Enterprise]]**//, is currently in the works, helmed by [[offtopic:FDW]] as showrunner. ---- ==== The Multiverse Exploration Ships (MES) AH.com and CF.net ==== In the beginning, the [[AH.com ship]] was a captured prize by the [[Human Unity]], which at the time was in a desperate war against an invading, [[Neanderthal Multiverse Empire|Multiverse-spanning empire controlled by Neanderthals]]. The //[[stories:AH.com Ship#AH.com]]//, along with its sister ships the //[[stories:AV.net Ship#Alterverse]]// and the //[[stories:CF.net]]//, were refitted with weapons and crewed by the remnants of the Human Unity Space Fleet, under the command of Admiral Ward who also commanded the CF.net ship. After the war against the Neanderthals, the //CF.net//, //AH.com//, and //Alterverse// were used to patrol and ensure that there was never a recurrence of the devastating invasion their planet had suffered. During this period, there came a new threat, the [[Devourer of Worlds]], a deadly machine/creature that crossed from universe to universe, destroying planets for purposes unknown. The ships along with the majority of the Human Unity Space Fleet attacked the creature, only to be nearly completely annihilated. The tattered remains of the Human Fleet regathered, the survivors making hasty repairs and reorganizing their ranks. With its commanding crew dead Lt. What, a science officer, was put in charge of commanding the //AH.com// by Admiral [[offtopic:Ward]]. The Human Fleet re-attacked the Devourer and was once again shredded by the creature's power. Lt. Bruno What, his ship battered and remaining crew dead, saw the battle as lost and with some difficulty ordered the ship into a blind shift, fleeing from the battle, this act sparking Admiral Ward's undying hatred for what he perceived as Dr. What's cowardice in the face of an attack. [[offtopic:Ward]] and the CF.net managed to survive the fight, but the Alterverse was destroyed. [[offtopic:Doctor What]] currently commands the [[AH.com ship]], though upon his in-series temporary death, command transfered to [[offtopic:Grey Wolf]]. Command was also given to Landshark/IronYuppie when Dr. What and Grey Wolf left the ship. Currently Doctor What is in command of the ship once again. ---- ==== Crew members of the MES AH.COM ==== ==Current crew == * Captain- [[offtopic:Doctor What]] * Second-in-Command- [[offtopic:Grey Wolf]] * Third-in-Command- [[offtopic:Landshark]] * Chief Pilot/Ships Operations- [[offtopic:GBW]] * Security Chief- [[offtopic:Matt]] * Security Goon/Sheepist Priest - [[offtopic:DMA]] * Security Goon/Engineering Crew - [[offtopic:Michael]] * Public Relations/ Security Goon - [[offtopic:IronYuppie]] * Ensign/Standard Bearer - [[offtopic:Othniel]] * Ship's Computer/Historian - [[offtopic:Leo Caesius]] * Communications - [[offtopic:Kit]] * Engineering Chief - [[offtopic:Dave Howery]] * Engineering Crew - [[offtopic:Psychomeltdown]] * Teleportation Tube Operator/Engineering Crew - [[offtopic:G.Bone]] * Ship's Doctor - [[offtopic:Torqumada]] * Ship's Chemist - [[offtopic:Thande]] * Quartermaster - [[offtopic:Hendryk]] * General Lay-about - [[offtopic:Flocculencio]] * Cabin Boy - [[offtopic:Luakel]] == Crew that left == * [[offtopic:Abdul Hadi Pasha]] * [[offtopic:Straha]] (became a [[stories:FALLEN]]) * [[offtopic:Diamond]] * [[offtopic:Weapon M]] (deceased in-series) ---- ==== Crew members of the MES CF.NET ==== == Current crew == * Captain - [[offtopic:Ward]] * Second - [[offtopic:Grimm Reaper]] * Third/Assault Captain - [[offtopic:Midgard]] * Communications/Ships Operations - [[offtopic:Faeelin]] * Chief Pilot - [[offtopic:Scarecrow]] * Assault Goon - [[offtopic:Romulus Augustulus]] * Assault Goon – [[offtopic:Bulgaroktonos]] * Genetic Weapons Specialist - [[offtopic:DarkSlavik]] * Weapons Officer - [[offtopic:DominusNovus]] * Chief Engineer – [[offtopic:kilngirl]] * Engineering/Teleporters - [[offtopic:fortyseven]] == Crew that left == * Goon - [[offtopic:DraconisNoir]] (deceased in-series) * Public Relations - [[offtopic:N-reD]] (deceased in-series) * Pilot/Navigator - [[offtopic:DuQuense]] (deceased in-series) * "Morale" Officer - [[offtopic:Justin Green]] (deceased in-series) * "Chief Engineer" - [[offtopic:Gedca]] (deceased in-series) * "Engineering Crew" - [[offtopic:FederationX]] (deceased in-series) * "Third in Command" - [[offtopic:MerryPrankster]] (deceased in-series) More information on the [[stories:CF.Net]] crew can be found on its dedicated page. ---- ==== Recurring Characters ==== * [[offtopic:Mike Collins]] - Greatest of the [[stories:Fallen]]. * [[Fallen]] - corrupted beings, always causing trouble to the //MES// crews on their journeys throughout the multiverse. * [[offtopic:Ian]] - bartender of the Pub in the [[Hub]] and representative of the 'Administration'. * [[offtopic:Keira Knightley]] - an artificially created copy of the famous actress who ended up on the //[[AH.com ship|AH.com]]//, as [[offtopic:Dave Howery]]'s girlfriend. * [[Bobo]] - A living brain created by [[offtopic:Torqumada]] as a pet, but growing over the course of the series to become a talking and slightly powerful creature. * [[Mosquito]] - Arrived one day seeking nectar, thanks to a teleporter accident.
