*Cough*

It's a rare thing when I have more scenes written than I have actions ready.

It's fine, I just want to keep things moving past turn 1. :P

In all honesty, I probably have too much written at this stage.

EDIT: Murdoc, I see no problem with Scarlet's loadout, though you should remember that this is a civilized station. You will not be allowed to carry most of that past docking control. Definitely not the railgun.

Got there eventually :)

Aubrey probably rarely has much more than some kind of sidearm on her (I can't imagine she actually feels a need to carry a weapon at all in say a space station or general civilian area) although I imagine she would be competent enough in assault and sniper rifles if it came to it. The problem with both of these things is my imagining how a large bird operates a pistol.

Actually a problem with this is I have a slight problem imagining her involved in any face to face (i.e. not piloting a ship) combat. But I can also imagine that changing (particularly if one of her colleagues was in danger.)

Corvid specific weapons (or indeed, just general tools) are typically attached just past the 'wrist' of the wing and clamped around the carpometacarpus. Hell, it'll be easier if I give you an image..
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So, the item (be it a tool or gun) fits around that bone, and the pollex acts as the control/selector/trigger finger.  If forced to use a pistol built for human hands, they could manage to hold it in their foot, but it would be awkward and would require standing on one leg to aim and fire.

Bladed pinions, typically utilizing either a charged mono-filament system or a thin vibrating sheath for the outer vane of the leading feathers, can be a potent self defense tool.

Good, good. Carrying that railgun into port would be the equivalent of walking through a TSA checkpoint with an M79 grenade launcher.

Bladed pinions seems very sensible and discreet and Aubrey-like.

Alright, IO's had a decent chance, so I'm just going to push everyone who is here along.

Also, question, is everyone comfortable with the rolls happening in the background, or do you want me to post numbers?

EDIT: And I've become terribly distracted and probably won't finish a turn tonight.

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm drawing kind of a blank for station actions.

I'd prefer numbers, but it's fine without.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Same here! Although I'm dealing with THESiSWORRIES and stuff.
When you give a context of 'information station', we usually stare in rapture and awe at what we can possibly do before settling on the first step into actually doing stuff :P All this opportunity is fun.

I'm totally fine with this. Lovely update.

Damn kids poking around my ship. Don't come crying to me when you catch an ancient Tiamen disease or take a refreshing radiation bath, you hear? I didn't leave those warning sticky notes around the ship for nothing!
