Crew Connections

How do you know each other?   Did you meet only recently or did some of you know each other in the past?  Here's where we can work all of that out.

Typically, this works best if you list your most recent term (term 4 for most of you), then work backward.

For example:

Last Term - IISS Scout/Courier - Event: Grew a long beard on a really boring space mission

2 Terms Ago - IISS Scout/Courier - Event: Fought off a sentient alien plant on some distant, worthless world

3 Terms Ago - Imperial Marine Infantry - Event: Spammed 'Do you even lift bro' memes to friends and family

You probably get the point.

Crew Connections

Last Term - Collace Navy - Gig Pilot
Event #6 - Notable Military Engagement

2 Terms Ago - Collace Navy - SDB Gunner
Event #6 - Notable Military Engagement

3 Terms Ago - Army Mercenary Unit - Explosives Expert
Event #6 - Brutal Ground War

Before that she was in Vargr space doing Vargr things.  After leaving Gvurrdon sector she immigrated to the Marches, took a job that no one else wanted to do (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), which is how she lost her arm.  She joined the Collace Navy after that, got a few medals, and now wants to make some real money as a merchant before she’s to old - she’s already 238 in Human years. ;)

Crew Connections - Aelasaid

Aelasaid Mòr McLauchlan CV:
    Last Term: Merchant/Free Trader
    Event:  Advanced training
    Skills: Pilot (x2), JoAT

    Two Terms Ago: Merchant/Free Trader
    Event:  Automatic promotion
    Skills: Gun Combat (x2), JoAT, Vacc Suit

    Three Terms Ago: Merchant/Free Trader
    Event:  Smuggled items successfully
    Skills: Electronics, Steward, Streetwise

    Four Terms Ago: Merchant/Free Trader
    Event:  Time spent with spacers (salvage crew)
    Skills: Electronics, Persuasion (x2), Vacc Suit
Before that, Ally spent her childhood and adolescence growing up on Collace itself.  Fairly mundane schooling and childhood in an upper-middle class family.

@Kaelra:  Perhaps Ally and Kae met two or three terms ago?  Your battalion during the brutal ground war could have needed some supplies smuggled or some such.  Or your notable military engagement could have seen them cross paths.  Either way, Ally isn't a gun-bunny or anything (though she did get plenty of firearms and protective suit experience two terms ago); so, she would have remained on the periphery of any conflict.  But everyone needs supplies transported secretly during a fight, right?  Let me know if you want to connect.

In reply to Aelasaid Mor McLauchlan (msg # 3):

I like that smuggling link.  That seems like a good one.

Duncan -> how about your last term and my last term for a link?  Maybe I stopped by your station for a check up.  Perhaps having a cyberarm needs a bit of follow up, so I just flew right over to your station in my gig.  Well, I had a gig and now I have mutual funds or something.

Just remember, I always get a treat after every veterinarian doctor visit.

Matmos seems like a good fit since it has a Naval base there and is an Imperial Client state.  That reminds me to put up a full subsector map with official UWPs... Time to raid Zho Berka's Spinward Marches data...

Kaelra: Sounds like a good reason for me to study up on Cybernetics.
Everyone is offered a healthy treat, like a carrot, or a piece of cucumber. ;)
