Nor do I.

*drool*

Huh... what? New post? Sorry, I got distracted by that sparkly thing; it's so freaking pretty I could keel over right now and have no regrets.

I shall post tomorrowerish. I've done too much not-English to English good right now.

Oh, and yes Poly, it does help. I've always been delighted comforted knowing others are suffering going through the same thing as me.

So, which characters are combat-trained? I'm guessing Daniel, Javier, Lexi and probably Alexander are at least acquainted with handguns and the basic principles of not getting curb-stomped, while Nathan and Stuart have nothing at all.

I'd certainly be interested to see Stuart ending up with some combat training, as somebody perhaps more likely than Nathan (who may obviously also come along for the ride if Lambda so wishes) to be involved in on-the-ground type stuff. Then again, either or both of them might well be 'mission control', if you like, providing information and strategy to the team remotely. In my head, Stuart was going to be involved in some on-the-ground espionage and, basically, hustling, with Lexi, though that seems unlikely given that he has been at least mildly high-profile in a Western country, so his face may be easily recognised - unless we can hand-wave that by having the BUC pull some strings to make that online information about him mysteriously disappear (something I'd quite like, personally, as it would free him up for more possible roles, though it's obviously up to you, Rax). If so, that's my next post sorted.

Incidentally, I did tweak Stuart a little prior to the IC but didn't bother mentioning it even slightly so he didn't make it to the character list in his current form. He's basically the same but more clearly laid-out and a little bit more of a tit. I should probably give him at least one redeeming feature but I might wait, if that's okay, until the idea springs to me in a context where I can mention it to bring it up.

Either way, the new sheet is here if anybody wants to check it out and if Rax wants to edit it into the character list. And, no, I can't get that penultimate bullet point to work. It really doesn't want to.

Click for Stuart

I've never seen Nathan as an on-the-ground character, support and interrogation would suit him.

So I was bored and just wrote it. I know I took some liberties so if you want me to edit/change/remove/whatever, holla.

Feel free to use Alice as an all-purpose NPC, btw. Just make sure she's awesome.

Everyone else: obviously there might be a bit of a question mark hovering over Stuart atm, so when Rax gives us the all clear that I haven't ruined his plot and broken the first (and second) rules of BUC club, feel free to be approaching Stuart and asking him what just happened.

Raxacoricafallapatorius said “I believe a comfortable working environment greatly aides productivity. At least, it beats a cubicle.” Smith chuckled. “You’re all free to come and go from here as you please, but be aware that no one besides yourselves, Miss Hamill, and I are authorized to use this part of the building. You’ve all received the elevator key required to access this floor. Do not lose it.”

I don't think Alice would be able to get into the room.

By the looks of it, we'll probably be tested on our skills. Javier is decent in guns and decent in hand to hand combat. Nothing more, nothing less.

Javier is probably going to be a Field Agent, Detective or a Undercover Operative.

Hopefully handwaved by her being in the IT department at the end. I pre-thought of that but couldn't find out any other way of getting her in. It's always the IT department in companies that sort out key fobs and accesses and stuff so hopefully it's okay.

I guess I'll wait for Rax. As I say, I know I took some liberties so I don't mind having to tweak.

Rax is probably working on that physics paper.

Do you want me to remove it so you can post before Rax gives it the okay?

I've got no real problem with it.

That wasn't, strictly speaking, a 'no'. :P

Lol. It was a 'no'.

I should have a post up by tomorrow.

Everyone who does not already have will soon be trained in basic combat. The three I singled out IC will be a more specially trained group, at least to start off. I may change it later. For Stuart and Nathan specifically I was going to assign them for suspect investigation and interrogation, and will probably be placed in under cover roles for infiltration purposes.

I like this flair you're bringing in. Your post is good, as far as Alice is concerned we can say she had prior clearance from Smith. Generally though, other staff cannot access that floor without prior permission or escort.

If I may ask, what is Mendez going to be doing?

I finally finished moving, I should be a able to focus more on this. I definitely will have a post by tomorrow.

Hence deletion from the universe.

Glad you like it. :3
I figured if it had been pre-arranged, it'd be okay. There are no IT specialists on the team, so I thought it might be nice to have a techie on the team, and, since I know nothing about computers or technology, I've decide that means she can do anything. xD

Mendez will be working with Biermann a lot where investigations are concerned, and will undergo specialized field training to develop a more unique skill set to be implemented as needed.

I'm still working out everyone's specific roles but all of them will be addressed in my next IC post.

She's only an NPC for now so keep her on the down-low. I may have an IT character coming in.

Hope everything went smoothly.

Raxacoricofallapatorius said She's only an NPC for now so keep her on the down-low.

I meant to type 'around' rather than 'on the team'. Not quite sure how that happened.
Anyhoo- don't worry.

:P
