Hmm, I'm reasonably certain I signed up more players than Lawas, Dwarmin, and Tir. From my current stock of actions, however, it appears that I was mistaken.

I'll start working on things, what little I can, but I would give you this advice: It is better to act than to be acted upon.

Holy crappants! Well, let me post an action then, although I can't till tomorrow as I'm off to bed, but it'll basically be to start on the Noroi's defences I think, unless anyone stops Aubrey first.

She don't want to be acted upon!

It's finals season, I'm sorry >.> I'm a little swamped right now and this game is easily the hardest one for me to post for

It feels like we are too attached to our characters and the story to make hard decisions.


On the balance of things with Kesari's latest message, we should probably get back to the ship to defend our home. But if we rescue hostages on the way that might give us some intergalactic brownie points.

Varkonius' ship is very possibly beyond us, and both Aubrey and Scarlet would (be aware of this and) probably back down at this point.

It just feels like we are backing down out of the story's main task, and also that we are letting the GM down by not going into his horrific-puzzle murder-boat.


So - away team - let's try and find the hostages as first suggested, be good heroes, and get out of here. And then feel like failures.

And then blow up Varkonius' ship? We can convince the other ships to join in, too! In fact we'd probably need to.

...or we'll threaten to blow him up if he doesn't hand over the goods (and then blow him up anyway?).

I think we rolled a secret "1" on our first mission and then got a 5 on the 'optional quest' :P So let's take it as a learning lesson and y'all go rescue some hostages \o/

...Also pleaaaaase leave Varky a nice message :3
Also as all things--there's a continuum, we can't let the GM down as this isn't a 'one shot thing'. Seeing the nebulous state of affairs, it's far deeper than 'get pay, shoot, money \o/', and who knows--if you dudes save some hostages, we'll earn our rep another way around, and that'll help waitlisters too! :D

We have popcorn on ship with the latest movies if you'll all feel bad later, anyway. o-o And this was a nice bonding mission--it's less of character attachment and more 'first try, let's do this!' enthusiasm.

And then blow up Varkonius' ship? We can convince the other ships to join in, too! In fact we'd probably need to.

...or we'll threaten to blow him up if he doesn't hand over the goods (and then blow him up anyway?).
You'll have to suggest a message like that though :P While Kes can do scanners very well (as it seems), she's not good with working on the spot with words and 'really big things' that involve political nature or otherwise.

Like using people around to make a false flag distress message that otherwise makes perfect sense from all perspectives but Varkonius' and his agenda.

I can't think of one. :x

I wonder if the sexbot is programmed to relay messages or if we'd need to laser it into the ground or something.

How about this cryptic ancient traditional form:

There was a young crow from Peru,
Whose limericks always ended on line two.

Y'know, I read the update, like right now and so, and like, I nodded to myself as I passed the first several paragraphs and segments. And then like, I read the rest, and then my thoughts ran a bit too fast, and like, I'm now sitting down and staring at the ending, leaning fully back on my chair that has no supports, and aghast at what I'm seeing.

And I swear that was pretty cool.

My situational lapse of grammar and semantics that I will never try again aside, this update is very nice. I shall now spend the next day wondering what to do because of my goodness shall this be awesome.

DRAIG: Can I/Kari issue a message to the away team with quick detail results about the Star? Is it through a safe channel?

IS ANYTHING SAFE?

Ahem.

There's always a chance that someone can intercept, that's the problem with sending signals, but we can safely assume your intra-team communication is encrypted. You can assume that anything you say probably will not be decrypted for at least a day, if it is even intercepted.

"The penalty... IS RAINBOWS!"
I thought this applied exclusively to rival mercies. I was mistaken.

Perfect! :D
Now I had forgotten to assess the Reunion's position relative to pretty much everything in the system (nice job, Intel officer >.<) so now I'm worried given the lack of general details to that thing x-x

If I can get enough scanner info from that ship, looks like I can give Khate stuff! :3

@Dwarmouse: I might be similarly caught up, so don't worry about it. I'm only sad that I don't get what I wanted for you from christmas... A turn in A Star Once Fallen. (ಥ﹏ಥ)

(Joking, happy Holidays man. Try not to release the abyssal horrors from their hoarfrost prison.)

@Tiruin, RE: Range In Space: Well, I started writing this, and then it got really long. So, when I finish, it's probably going to get put on the first page and I'll link over when its ready.
