Happy new year, everyone!

Just as an FYI i'm going to be very hit-or-miss until probably mid-Feb. Work is kicking my ass and I just don't have a lot of energy to even sign on regularly. I'm trying but the results so far have been very lacking XD

Since it just came up in-character: unlike in Star Trek, Traveller naval officers don't normally leave the ship to go on 'away missions' - teams might be dispatched, sure, but the officer(s) in question oversee them from the bridge (or wherever else they normally work from, if it isn't the bridge).

I know, but is it not more fun? :)

Well I hopefully provided Yune an out either way. Make a team or go herself.

Jackie likes seeing new places but the context is everything.

Well, I was getting ready to post when I saw those comically varied results, but I think I'll be merciful and stick to what I was already planning to write. ;)

(Because discovering that you'd accidentally worn a red shirt during your first expedition...)

I'll have my post today

Sorry for the late reply I'm trying to formulate a response. As the request stands I don't see Thenroy jepordizing a mission just for R&R. Is there a specific reason like the engines were damaged in the attack or that we need days to refuel to explain that delay?

I think the proposal is to have those "R&R days" during the first three days of jump, not to take time away from pursuing the jump.

So jump and then let everyone relax? Gotcha.

Just saying I'm still here. As discussed I'm just waiting in the wings to ruin the party at the optimal time :D

In reply to Baron Thenroy Reziilka (msg # 918):

Ahhh

I'm here too. Whether and how any of this will be used against you later remains... uncertain.

This would be such a moment for the captain to show up.

Or the XO, but the captain would be far more mortifying.

In reply to Gvoellaekh (msg # 921):

I beg to differ : I'd like to hear Jacqueline's Solomon-ic judgment first. :)

Jacqueline's wisdom will come tomorrow, busy day today.

After the result of Jacquelines' roll for Dance, the captain could show up and spoil the party...

...noted.

here endeth my digression as a GM. Thanks Gvoellaekh for letting me take the helm ! :)

Then it's time for Captain Killjoy to put in an appearance!

Welp Baron has kicked down the door and rained on the parade. Let me know if it comes across as toooooo heavy handed but hopefully it does the job without completely ruining everything. Considering that he's basically giving you all a free pass I figure a few harsh words balance the scale :D

Should have a post later today, I was on a trip that proved really busy

In reply to Jacqueline Yune (msg # 929):

I guess "Jacqueline's birthday" will close one day; but it was only a parenthesis anyway, whose closure could go alongside the adventure's next chapter. So I beg our GM to open the next chapter of our main adventure : "BACK TO ENDUP TO END PIRACY UP !" ;)

Excellent sentence, Yune's player ! The snitch shall dance ! :D But will he comply? I suggest the Baron-Captain's player described the actions of Ensign Jansen - or our GM, of course :)
