Correct Runa, anyone wanting to help with the rescue of Holly should post in the new Gemini thread.

Day three, illness. Optimism of recovery this day seems premature. Stomach still declaring war on all that trespass on its domain.

Feel for you, that was my family last week

In reply to Winter Herald (msg # 952):

Feel better Winter!

Get better, the game will still be here when you recover.

Oof.  Get well soon.
Me, I've spending the weekend celebrating Veterans' Day and the completion of my 52nd trip around the Sun, by collecting as much free food as I can.....

In reply to Chimp Man Z (msg # 956):

Happy Birthday, Z! :)

Damn.. so sorry Winter Herald.. gah.. best wished to get well soon! Hang in their buddy!  'This too shall pass...'

Congrats CMZ!  Take THAT NASA... we Can get an ape to orbit the sun!

Yeah. It's written on my wedding ring.

Anyways, recovery is a coin flip. Gastrointestinal which means I am still dealing with dehydration, nevermind the rest of the issues that come from being sick.

I just celebrated my 44th trip around the sun and the 247th trip around the sun of what is arguably the finest conventional fighting force on the planet, the United States Marine Corp.

I'll be a while before I post. I have catch up, and my brain isn't quite running to full yet. But it should be at this next morning at the latest.

Brain operational enough. I'm physically exhausted and my food and sleep cycles are utterly destroyed, but I am back. Food patterns should be the simpler one to rebuild - the sleep cycle might take some brute forcing.

Glad to hear your feeling better Winter!

Working on Justicar-Deep, undersea model.  Looks like I'm going to have to change some significant design philosphy in this design from Hikari's usual armor designs.

Even more so when he designs the Justicar-Star, the space model.  Its the transatmospheric abilities that are the kicker there.

No doubt about it... Hikari is gonna need to make those models fusion-powered. The Justicar-Star is going to have to be bigger than 'just a suit' ~ Im thinking at least half a tall as the Justicar-Paladin... it will have to be a "robot vehicle" rather than a exoskeleton suit.

Mostly, I'm looking for the person who
1) is providing support (seems to be Coast Guard)
2) actually wants us to succeed at this mission, but can announce a withdrawal of support if the cost of success is looking too high (read: we can win, but will sink an oil rig or something - again, seems like the Coast Guard here).

Supervisory support of the operation is always a question Winter Herald will ask, barring a compelling reason not to.

Sorry for the lack of posts.  My laptop's power pack died and I cannot post on my lunch break until its replaced...

Bellissima is currently in meditation so she can't respond to all the communication going on and it is an important game mechanic for her to recover her ISP, so I can't just hand wave the meditation time and she is already below half of her max ISP.  :)

It's fine. I'm confident she will help when she can, however she can.

Waiting on a reply from Runa...

Okay, so -
1) Can we requisition military supplies?
2) If so, what do we need to do/roll?
3) Can we incorporate the small military unit that I have assumed are a SEAL team into our plans?
4) If so, what do we need to do/roll?

Just wondering before I waste any more of everyone's time. Make no mistake, I want to get to the part where we are being friggin' superheroes. I'm just attempting to insure success.

Runa's inspiration I am really hoping is at least a Chekhov's Gun. Those were awesome rolls, and I'd hate to see them wasted.

From what I have been informed of in character (because my character is an old, retired bullfrog), yes there is a SEAL detachment on the USS Gemini.

A real-life SEAL team (a 'Company' sized element) consists of 8 platoons (16 SEALs per platoon), and usually deploys in detachments of 4 to 8 SEALS all the way up to a 'Task Unit' consisting of two Platoons (plus support personnel).

Hey folks! Just wanting to say something out of character... I'm having an ABSOLUTE BLAST playing Justicar/ Hikari the young proto-tony stark Iron Man!!! Its been fun playing the teen genius 'smartest-person-in-the-room' meme.. and really hard at times cause I'm CERTAINLY NOT that! Maybe you can tell by how long some of my posts tend to be.. lol {trying to cut those down a bit to avoid the tl;dr syndrome} ~ honestly.  But the game is not the Justicar show... and Im really trying hard to be as inclusive of everyone as possible {which personally I think I could do better about}... Id really like to get Maharajah and CMZ more involved in the drama... and cutdown on the bickering in-character. I just want you ALL to know all my interaction in-game is rp... I have no issue with ANY of your play-style or participation-level.

I WANT Everyone to enjoy the game as much as I do ~ SERIOUSLY!!! YOU GUYS AND GALS are AWESOME, and I want the game to last as long as possible FOR EVERYONE! So please consider this an open invitation to tell me when I might be hogging too much of the rp drama and to SHUT THE FUCK UP! Lol. I have very thick skin... and I try really hard to see the other person's side of a dispute plus never take any post TOO SERIOUSLY {like an intentional personal attack or somesuch} I read as tone and context are really hard to convey in a cold text post. I really do want everyone in the game to get the chance to 'STRUT THEIR STUFF!'

SO to that end it woukd be nice if those less text proliferous might give us all some pointers on themes their character would like the most to enguage in so we can identify oppprtunities for them to enguage in said themes and move the lime-light to them in turn on a more regular basis.

I can rp with a wet papersack if need be... but I do not want to dominate the drama... so please feel free to bring up places in the drama narrative where YOUR characters might get involved if you see places where hikari is perhaps stealing the limelight too much.  The down side of really enjoying a game is you tend to really want to be involved! I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm more so as not to drown out others.

SSOGM and I have an upcomming side quest sort of that Id like Maharajah and Bellissima on... it will eventually very likely also involve Winter Herald and Senor Garcia as well...

Point being try coming up with things in the world your characters want to accomplish or address cause they make great sub-plots for everyone to have a part in!

Anyways love you folks... play on!!!!

Hey, Justicar.  STFU.  LOL

In reply to Chimp Man Z (msg # 972):

LOLs!! I asked for that... :)

Yes, you did.  Be careful what you wish.....

I wish I could have acquired data on where those hatches went. It's irrelevant, really - all points of entry should work, if we apply ourselves to actually using them. It's just the question of how, and how we can do.
