Is anyone else working on collabs at the moment or have any ideas what they want to do in the mean time while Dervs is on break?

We don't know how long Dervs will be gone for so we should have a plan on how to occupy ourselves.

@DearTrickster Perhaps another mission? Planned by all of us?

A general mission could work. As a group we can come up with NPCs and goals without interfering with what Dervs has planned. Good idea @DJAtomika!

Any more ideas? :)

We can do Loyalty Missions, develop short shadow broker post arc where we can all focus on backstory, ship repairs (either staying on Omega or moving onto a new planet).

I'm working with Echo, as soon as he's able, on a collab between Vellios and Kasy.

I think I'm going to refrain from any of Vellios' loyalty missions. However we still have a few missions in the OP, and I did mention about having Groto, the Batarian I was talking about, pretty much give parts for missions. Like retrieving payments, hauling in packages through pirate infested space, etc. They are minor and easy enough to plot out.

Off the top of my head, Some organization (Likely the Blue Suns, Eclipse, or Blood Pack given where we are. Maybe even a gang or organization we make up, just to play it safe with plotlines) is owed by the Borealis. Maybe the former captain, maybe we weren't cautious enough in where we spent our money. Regardless, we have to repay them by doing jobs around for them, ranging from extermination to extraction to intelligence gathering.

As soon as Derv's comes back, we say we've paid of the debt and continue the course.

Iosif's "loyalty mission" is something I've got set aside for a little ways into the future. But a general run sounds neat.

As a head's up to folks, I'll be away next week Monday-Friday so my attendance will probably be sporadic in that period.

@DearTrickster Well, I do like Rtron's idea -think it could be rather interesting- but apart from that I think we could, perhaps, focus on upgrading the Borealis or perhaps stealing a new ship (I do remember that Dervs said that was a possibility at some point in the RP) Hmmm, apart from that not much I can add, I also have set Khosin's "loyalty mission" to not happen for some time at the very least like Zombie. Well, hope this helps

Everyone has a bad day, gets into a foul temper or just wants to run away from things that are stressing them out. It's part of human nature and so with your friends, if you can't be human... then who are you suppose to fuck things up with in the end? Sticking through things is what friends do after all. This includes from bearing through the worse side of you to listening to your rants to make you feel better and even sitting in the same jail cell with you, you can be the worse and best around them in the end without worrying about serious aftermath that is long lasting.

@Rtron: Where are you when I actually need you to get into a scene and make things worse?

If any of you guys have loyalty missions of your own ready to go and you are willing to help GM that arc, submit it and we'll add it to the list!

I'll give you guys a couple of days to get any of those missions submitted in the OOC and then everyone vote for which mission you want to do next. A note for loyalty missions; try to keep them simple and streamlined if possible. We don't want every mission turning out being a several month affair.

Available Assignments


Intercept Smuggling Operation
Location: Sentry Omega System, Virmire
Client: Captain Chad Donnelly, Elysium Investigations and Security Taskforce

Your names are somewhere in the middle of a very long waiting list for contracts in dealing with groups associated with the Skyllian Blitz attacks, but word travels fast. My cousin was one of the people you saved from the Twin Star gang, and for that, I owe you a favour or two. If you find yourself in the capital when you drop off Kapan Nasa’dor, drinks are on me.

To business. The pirates, slavers, and other organizations that hit Elysium were supplied from all sorts of groups with interest in destabilizing human colonies in the Traverse, and Elysium was something of a crown jewel that was just isolated enough that an Alliance response would be slow coming. The thing we didn’t get was how or where they were coming from with the sophistication of hardware and technology they employed; I don’t know if any of you were here for the Blitz, but when we were hit, it might as well have been a damned military invasion. I’ve served in the First Contact War, and I’ll be the first to tell you that there was a certain sense of déjà vu fighting the batarians. Military starships, fighters, dropships, and all manner of guns and supply drops were just as common as the common gang rabble of hastily converted civilian equipment, and when you think pirate, the last thing you think of is a fleet of cruisers capable of orbital bombardment.

Sources indicate that several big players used Virmire as a sort of staging area and swap meet for various gangs and syndicates to sell and barter goods, a lot of it coming from the Terminus, although disturbingly there might be some corrupt participants from reputable positions in Council space that took part in selling weapons and ships to the invaders. Remember when I mentioned those cruisers? Those were turian made with a new coat of paint. Hard to mistake them for anything else after nearly getting killed by them on a daily basis on Shanxi.

If you choose to respond to this contract, I’ll throw in a bonus; there’s a lot of equipment the invaders left behind. I’ll let you guys have a run in the yard and see if there’s not something that catches your eye.


Assassinate Blue Suns Officer
Location: Omega System, Omega
Client: “Tessa”

You would not believe the buzz around the station about the scandal of Nairyna T'Raza’s affiliation with the Twin Stars. That’s like finding out an esteemed Matriarch was consorting with a Maiden who’s only claim to fame is how well she works a pole… in both senses of the term.

So a Blue Suns operative, and a rather important one at that, goes missing the same time one of Omega’s smallest and most pathetic groups is wiped off the map by a group that nobody knows. That is, mostly nobody. I have friends in high places, and they know who you are. By the way, pick a damn name already. If you want to be treated like professionals, it’s the least you can do. Even my niece has a name for her crescentberry stand and she’s seven years old. Point is, for as utterly unknown you all are and how much you reek of amateurs, I have a proposition or you. Want to get some fame and recognition as people who matter and the connections that go with it? Then I think I can help you.

All you have to do is forcefully remove T’Raza’s boss, Lieutenant Pomverus Caspian, from his miserable life, preferably in a manner that doesn’t implicate anyone. Bonus points if it looks like an accident or a very professional assassination job. Do this dirty little deed and I’ll make sure the right people notice you.

The pay’s not bad, either.


Loyalty Mission: Tanya Carson
Location: Terra Nova, Asgard System
I’m not one to ask for big favours, but this one’s huge and kind of out of the way.

Some of you guys know my basic family history, including that my dad was killed in the First Contact War. I recently came across an article on the extranet saying that in three weeks, they’re going to be putting up a memorial for Terra Nova’s casualties in the First Contact War. I need to be there for the ceremony, I don’t care about the particulars around how we do that, but this matters a lot to me.

If we can start looking for contracts around the system so it’s not such a huge detour, all the better, or you guys can drop me off along the way to doing another job, but either way it would mean everything to me if we could make arrangements.

Let me know what you all decide in case I need to make arrangements. I’ll collectively owe you all a favour if you do this for me.

Thanks.

Kasy's loyalty mission will be later.

And there really is no other way Kasy could vote on these missions. Blue Suns Assassination. Good luck changing her mind...

Khosin's loaylty mission also comes a bit later as well.

Also, Khosin's going for hte msuggling interception operation since he isn't particularly keen on facing the Blue Suns as a whole.
