OK. Several things. Please see the included remarks:

As soon as I finish some promised classwork, I will be returning to my work on my Communications Tech W/O project. That involves writing a story regarding a particular aspect of the FTL communications systems. Once I have it roughed out, if you would like to see a copy to figure out if it could be revised into a script for an RPG game or experience, I am willing (of course, provided that BuNine and the JAG will allow that).
Sir Fairbairn,
I would be most honored to translate your work into an RPG adventure.
I don't quite know how to say this delicately, so I'll just say it and hope you'll understand that I do not mean to be offensive. I'm just trying to clear up a misconception. The honorific "Sir" or "Dame" in a knight's or dame's title applies to the person's first name only. Thus, I am "Sir John", or (by rating) I am "Chief Fairbairn".
I'm pleased that you have the willingness. I'll keep in touch.
My current idea that is in the early forming stages (and mind you, I am very new to the Honorverse, having only read On Basilisk Station and on chapter 8 of The Honor of the Queen) is to have the characters investigate a research station that has not reported in for far too long.
This sounds like an interesting premise for a first RPG in the Honorverse.
The station explores top secret technologies and the one I wanted to focus on would be the study into improved prolonging technology. The project would be called something like the “infinity project” or the like and some suitably horrible thing would be happening on the station.
Please be aware that most of the Prolong research and development was done in the Beowulf System, not in Manticore. In fact, I believe some of Honor's maternal great-grandparents were involved in that research ...
That’s basically all I have so far. How does it hold up? Does something like that fit within the Honorverse?
It does in concept. However, be aware that tRMN holds a very clear line of distinction between that is 'canon' (IE: written by Mr. Weber or one of his designated fellow authors, like Eric Flint) and what is termed "fan fiction" (IE: material written by anyone else). Be very careful where and how you post any fan fiction. I suggest having a conversation with the JAG officer regarding that concept.
