Yes, USEC is still busy, but keeping this alive.

Still interested in playing!

[USEC_OFFICER]

Yeah, I'm still busy. It's going to be at least another week until I can work on the turn. Which is to say it's going to be another week or so before I no longer feel guilty about intentionally spending an hour on other things besides work. I could probably squeeze it in whenever, but with all of the other things I need to do it wouldn't seem right. Sorry about that, everyone.

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, it's life, no prob.

Good thing you didn't drop us in base during the hiatus or people would have been shipping like crazy!

They're all safely in their cockpits now, thankfully...

[IamanElfCollaborator]

On other news, Iris has been working on a rudimentary shipping cannon attachment to all the mechs...

[USEC_OFFICER]

I know. The horror. _{If I knew how much work I'd have to wade through I probably would have done that in the first place. Even if there were characters I wanted to introduce for later things it's better than letting the thread sputter out. But more and more work has been piling up, so... Too late now.}

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I'd be happy to write/finish the turn for you, if you'd like, to get it off your back.

[GiglameshDespair]

Fortunately, shipping cannons do not match up to actual cannons.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Not unless they fire shipping containers.

It's true, it's standard nonlethal weaponry for all IRIS personell.

Yeah, it's life, no prob.

Yeah, alright. If nobody else complains or minds then that's probably for the best. The Edo mechs are retreating anyways so you can just end the battle after this turn. It's still important to keep track of everyone's kills though, hence why we're not just skipping back to base. It's going to be evening when the 25^th finally returns to base, however. Not because the battle took so long, but because everyone is required to camp the battle site and protect the destroyed mechs. They are stuffed full of advanced technology after all, so letting Edo engineers get a chance at salvaging what they can would be really stupid. Terralba may be using cheaper different mech designs, but there's enough commonalities for them to salvage parts from the ruined robots. Also, if anybody cares, supper is fish stew tonight. You guys can always bond over food, right?

...

Let me know if you need better explanations for anything. If you haven't noticed I tend to ramble.

*insert joke about lionan's cockpit always being empty*

Huh. I didn't know that Lionan swung that way. Good to know.

[kj1225]

I'm fine with it. A nice stew gets rid of the Russian cold after all.

Oh, and elf running the last turn is fine as well.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Russian cold? It's the middle of summer and the Madenhu islands aren't that far north. If anything the opposite is true and it's far too hot.

[SOLDIER First]

That was, like, a general sex joke, but you can interpret it as you will.

[kj1225]

Sush, is Russian winter
