Time in OCESS

Grade Nine

Since joining OCESS, Arrian has spent a great deal of time helping out starting with the moving from the old room in 440 Albert to the new room. Arrian helped out with the sifting through the old computers taking valuable parts from old ones and doing his duty as a PC Gamer to rid the Earth of Apple Computers starting with one at OCESS which was brutally abused by a Hammer to the dismay of Admiral Magwood. Arrian also helped out with the general packing up of the old room and the moving to the new room. Arrian was their to see the old room dustless as well as the new room dustless. Once the new habitat was setup Arrian helped out with the installation of computers, and thus over the year became more proficient in the repair of computers. For the mission of 2008-09 Arrian participated as a simulator although due to the lack of people in MC he ended up running MC more then doing duties as a Simulator. During the mission Arrian also created one of the most memorable moments in the mission, the "Circles Don't Turn Moment" in which Arrian looked at Telemetry to see what appeared to be the habitat turning inside of AYSE and used CAPCOM to scold the astros, but it ended up backfiring as it turned out the habitat was attached to AYSE. If one looks to the Official and UnOfficial logs of Genesis 2009 one will find many references made to this event by Ian Martin. Arrian also created the Tapekachu During exam time.As the school year came to a close, Arrian's marks in English were falling, and this is the main contributing factor to why Arrian has been absent at so many Worksessions.

Wiki Task Force hard to benefit how ever he could. he remained a part of the and continued to work on the wiki through the year. As the second semester of school came up, Arrian started helping out more by helping out with the all important "General Application For Sponsorship" and making up the "Network Video Interface Proposal".

For the 2009-2010 mission, Arrian will be participating as a "Mission Specialist" or a person who is the subordinate of the Flight Director. Leading up to, and during the mission, Arrian worked on the video task force. One of the many things he did in this task force was design and build a switch to attach the multiple video feeds to one television on the Simulator Loft.
