Do we wait to learn the outcomes of the contact before writing RP in the IC thread? or can we begin the RP now? Since  we are each Role Playing as individuals separate from the other characters, as opposed to traditional RPs, is there a need to wait for other players to post? or is multiple posts from the same author acceptable?

You tell me which contracts you wish to pursue. In about two weeks I post the results. In between you may role play anything you wish. Write dialogue between your mercs, back story, world-wide whatever
 I will fish for plot hooks in your posts as well as things I've already set in motion. Post as much or little as you wish.
