Also I noticed Melia wasn't listed on the shuttle rosters.

dammit.. yeah..she's on   The Spade!

NO!..she's listed  PO  M  Kristensen..I knew i had  her there!

LMAO That's why I missed it. My bad

me and roy were  tried to juggels  stuff, and   switching   folks around..i had  3 different  screens for the shuttles  until  the final..i thought i   posted the wrong  one!

No worries, glad to see I'm on board. Working on my posts now. I included the current ships in the Burian Fleet on Sarah's loadout

ok..another apology  from me...

 it seems my 'lead in post' for the hanger dec  was posted in the war  room..no use  movign it  now.

  everyone's on the hanger Dec..you folks can read  that  and   got with what's there, that hasn't been posted  about , by a PC.

 Orria is, indeed on the HAnger Dec.

I figured she was, but I thought you were spacing it out so that it'd be a little easier to follow, I'll just put her next post in the Hanger deck proper as things start to happen.

8t'll be a few hours before I check in again...taking shameless advantage of the fact that I work at a movie theater and having a private double-feature...1917 and Knives Out.

let me know how  1917 is!

......................

 ok.. as i did  some searching  i found  two threads that may come in handy.

 One, is ' Crew  Gunnery Range"..we used that to  separate from the field-gym ( the range is under the bleachers)

 the second is  'Flex  thread'... i made this as  a catch all for  some   RP..form ...Anywhere.. if the  thread you were using  became  'current time'.

  Please don't use  it , unless the  RP is  important  to what you need to do.

1917 is brilliant.  It's extremely well-written, the camera work is INCREDIBLE, the cast is a veritable Who's Who of World-Famous British Cinema with regards to male actors in their 50s or younger.  It's shot in such a way that it feels like a series of very long takes...if you know what to look for, you can catch where they transitioned from one shot to the next, but most of them are imperceptible (and if you don't know what to look for, you'd never even notice the ones that are the 'easy' editing breaks).

But it is DEFINITELY a war movie.  It's heavy.  There are a lot of very sobering moments, and a few that might even get your eyes a little teary, depending on how empathetic you are.  It's not a movie I would watch for light entertainment.  When I first saw it, I walked out of the theater calling it the 'Saving Private Ryan' of World War I...and I still feel it, in a lot of ways.  If you're into war movies, especially the ones that don't get carried away with trying to romanticize war, this is definitely one to catch.

But it is very definitely not a feel-good film.  When the credits start rolling, I find myself letting out a sigh of relief...not that I've endured the film, but that this story that so gripped me is concluded and I'm back in a world that doesn't involve trench warfare, artillery fire, and enemy sharpshooters.  I think you'd really like it, even though it doesn't have much of anything to do with WWI aviators.  It's still got a very grim, real feel to it that seems like it'd strike a chord with you (just about anyone in this game, really).

 Very neat!... I'll have to see it ( one way or another!)

Not really a fan of war movies, but it's probably worth seeing once. The clips I've seen suggest a good measure of accuracy in uniforms and equipment, however... and that's something I do know about.

I definitely thi k it's worth seeing.  Partly for historical accuracy, and partly as a grim reminder of what our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents endured for the sake of us enjoying the lifestyles we do today.  This is one of those movies that will make anyone with half an active brain cell ask, "Is war REALLY the best option?" because it's pretty unflinching in painting a grim picture, without sermonizing about it.

On a different note, until further notice, the theater is closed...got a text from my boss today.  I'm heading over to take down all the showtimes in the display cases.  This whole thing just became a touch more grim for me.

not cool... i hope this  all ends  soon.

So do I.  I had several people express sorrow that we were closing as I was taking stuff down.  And I found out the estimated repair bill for my car.  High enough that I said, "Well...this and this are pretty crucial, fix that for now and I'll deal with the rest later."  I can't afford $2200 in repairs, especially knowing that all my freelance income that would be helping supplement my paycheck is gone for a while.  I'll do $800 now and get the rest later...and hope that the park keeps me on salary through this.

some random things..

  Just  got the Text today that the  PA schools   are closed  indefinitely.   had   a couple teachers  call here ..so?.. looks  like a longer  Hall then they thought.
...........

Roy.. keep lookign  around, to see if  folks  can use your  talents, even if there is somehtign you could do on line?..I dunno.  I am not very skilled at important stuff!

..............

 for the  game..so i don't  mess  folks up

Calimate..is the planet

Calimite ..is the ore, that helps make Udenese  steel

Thanks for the clarification.

Also Virginia, Maryland, and DC all got Stay-at-Home/Shelter-in-Place orders today.

Here in Virginia ours runs until June 10th.

Hope everyone is staying safe

Thank you for that clarity.

In reply to Sarah McKeon (msg # 58):

Wow, they're going for the long view, then, aren't they?  Utah's governor advised a stay-home action, state-wide, but stopped short of declaring it as policy.  The mayors of Salt Lake City and County (yes, that county has a mayor...considering most of it is the Salt Lake metro area, it kinda makes sense) DID make it a legal order there, which makes sense because about a third of the cases in the entire state are in Salt Lake City/County.  But they're going two weeks at a time with it, so I expect it's going to be repeated several more times before it's all said and done.

If I what I heard is correct they almost quadrupled the cases in the DC/MD/VA area over the weekend so yeah, plus if things need to be shorted its a pleasant surprise.

Wasn't Izzy part of the raid on bura

 Yes she was she almost got hit you knocked her out of the way of the fighter piece I believe.

Yeah it was bad over the weekend here as well, 1495 new confirmed cases total now of 5752, +12 deaths making total 56.
They  quarantined a whole nursing home when 3 tested positive for it. It is getting crazy around here, right now there are three groups of people talking across the street and trying to socialize 20' across from each other. I am going to the early shopping tomorrow, need/want to stock up on canned and dry goods just in case this goes longer than we thought.
Oh Nancy just called, a patient at Brigham's and Womans (Where Nancy was placed for now, acted like he was awaking from being sick and acting like a zombie, omg people went ape shit. They put him under arrest and want to charge him for trying to incite a riot.

I'll get a response up in the morning it's been a long day

Well...look back at the last 'pandemic' that hit us.  the 1918 bird flu (Spanish flu).  Yeah we have made advancements, but we did not keep up with what would have been needed.  so we got caught.  yeah we know more now, but we are still panicky.  This is an early part and people get upset they can't just 'get a shot and go about our lives' mentality.  The 1918 flu took well over a year to go about then burn out.  So we get to wait and see what happens then work with it.  I'm expecting a few riots to pop up, hoping they won't, but something tells me they might.  Hiding in the hills not gonna do anything, atleast in a town you can get your supplies and where it is now it will eventually ripple out leaving little trace at the center.  Am I scared? Terrified, but I was terrified of going to bed wondering If I'd die in my sleep.  I was terrified what would happen driving my truck to work.  I've been scared of a lot of things.  but I learned that just because they scare me it does not mean they will occur.  They only have a chance of occurring.  A chance is better than a certainty.  So going to use my best judgement, all I can do.
