Prologue

Tranquility Base
Location: Moon
November 12, 2742

Footsteps echoed quietly throughout the plasteel corridors. The steps were widely spread as the lower gravity of the moon had the person walking taking large bounding leaps instead of simple steps one after another. He arrived rapidly at his destination, years in low gravity environments giving him a great deal of practice at navigating quickly when the need arose.

"Col. Gloval," he said and snapped off a quick salute. The Colonel stood with his back to him staring out through the windows of the observation deck at the Sea of Tranquility.

"Corporal?" he asked, both acknowledging the young man’s existence and asking what he wanted with a single word.

"Word has reached us from Titan command."

"What is it?"

"The Knights were dropped over an hour ago, I have the first transcript of their audio transmission planet-side." He held out a data pad which the Colonel took and scrolled through.

Greetings!

The basic premise of this rp is a futuristic adventure/horror genre (with influences from both the Alien series and Firefly series). You will be playing a member of a less than reputable space salvage company on a mission to the long lost colony on the moon of Titan. Then again, fortune or no, perhaps there is a reason no one has set foot on the planet in decades....

Our coGM, Pockets, and I started this idea a 1x1. As we laid the groundwork we realized this story desperately wanted to be a group. We are both excited for the fun that will come from this story, and have loose outline of where and how we want to see this story to progress, all it needs now is a strong team of dedicated players!

We are looking for 4 to 6 players (max 6). If you are interested, please post here, and as soon as we have enough interest we will post up an OOC and look to jump into the IC soon after that.

[ProfessorNemo]

I'm interested but I have a few questions. First are there any friendly ailen races a available ? Second,is everyone on the crew human or are there cyborgs too ?

[MerlotBeauty]

No cyborgs.

No alien races.

Everyone will be playing a normal human being.

(AKA - No physiological upgrades. No biotics. No advanced tech. skills. No psionics.)

[Pockets]

^^

what she said. regular human folks here. The tech for the most part here is firefly-esque in most respects. You'll see some higher tech perodically but it isnt available to PC's.

I'm quite excited about this RP and look forward to a fun game so lets get some interest going here peoples!!!! *roars*

[Flux]

Ooh very interesting. Just started a space opera binge and absolutely loved Serenity so this sounds like my cup of tea =)

[Pockets]

Glad to hear it Flux. Now why do I know that line in your Sig? It's frighteningly familiar but I can't place it and it's getting on my nerves.

[MerlotBeauty]

Based on the level of interest I am seeing here I will have the OOC up sometime today.

Here is our OOC

[Mr Odin]

So here I am drinking some mead in front of my computer after a long day of trekking through the woods trying to find a lost dog that wasn't even mine (long story). I am browsing through interest checks because I am working on two fantasy threads and I need a little Sci-Fi in the blood. I stop here, intrigued, at the first Sci-Fi interest check I see. I read "Alien influence", that equals awesomeness, "Firefly influence", well now that is just about the best thing ever, and then I read "coGM Pockets"... and I say really?

Don't get me wrong Pockets, your great and all but the first new thread I click on just so happens to be coGM'ed by the current GM of the other thread I am in, what the,... now just what are the odds of that, I mean really?

Well besides all that shocked rambling I am interested, so what do you say? Am I up to snuff for a thread like this?

[MerlotBeauty]

What I like best about this entire ramble is that you are drinking Mead. ♥
