So, I think I'm planning to move on to the actual action tomorrow night. Don't want things to get stale, especially this early on. Anyone who wants their char. to say anything more in the Situation Room has about 24 hrs.
You're not required to post here, of course, since your character might just not have anything to say. But just to give fair warning before time is up, I'm tagging the non-posters so far: @Raylah@This Girlie
Also, @datadogie- you might want to post to answer Robin's question about whether you can hack the pirate vessel into not detecting her. If you don't want to bother with a full post, just tell me whether she can and I'll have Nick say it.

Yeahhhh... about that. Just go ahead without me.
Imma withdraw from the RP b/c bad sign: I'm just staring at the page and coming up with nothing and its my opening post. I keep reading over everyone posts and I realize I'm in over my head with the science-y stuff.
Sorry to hold you guys up but alright. Good luck to you all! Later!

That’s mainly coming from the science characters IMO. When we get into the actual operation, I think you’d be able to take charge.

Yeah, I'm definetly not here for the science talk. Have you seen my profile pic?
That's a big part of why I squeezed "lighthearted" into my title. Because even though I'm so glad folks who like it can dance with communications arrays and battle tactics, I also don't want anyone to feel weighed down by those things.
And that goes for everyone. If any of y'all don't feel comfortable with the more science-y talk, my advice is just to ignore it. Or straight make up some nonsense technobabble. You're gonna see me doing that one for sure.
I don't expect my character to be involved in the current mission, but plan to write some light post about life on the ship meanwhile, so don't wait for me with the mission.

But maybe the pirates have like, um... a botanical garden? A pirate one?
Okay yeah, maybe Elm isn't super relevant to this one. But a lighter post about what's going on in the rest of the ship could be cool!

It was 4am when you sent that, so I read it and immediately fell back asleep, haha. But a post is now up that answers Robin.
Looks like you NERDS could use a little help. Well, have no fear, babes. Rod is here.
Name, Position and Age: Rod Jvwuwh'veivoirehnegqgtuiun, Security Guard, 25
Species and Appearance: Human man. Dark brown buzz-cut hair, bold brown eyes, tan aboard a starship somehow. 6'0" with the right shoes. Muscular. Definitely looks like a meathead. His favorite color is red, which is GREAT because it matches his shirt! :D
Bio and Personality: Ever since he was a child, Rod had always been a big fan of sports, exploring the outdoors, and badass laser explosions in space stuff. He got a sports scholarship for Phaserball at a university where he studied... Business? Economics? Something about money... it didn't really matter, he was going to be drafted in the Interplanetary Phaserball League, anyway. Until he wasn't.
Though he had barely passed his money stuff classes, Rod had learned enough to know that he would need something better than his janitor job if he wanted to make bank. A recruiter for the ISA convinced him that joining the security force would be a great solution. He was fit, he was tough, he already had some skill in phasers and martial arts, and he was excited to explore SPACE! After boot camp, Rod was assigned to the Prize as a private. He would have to do the lowly grunt work for a while, but he was determined to prove his worth and rise through the ranks!
Rod is energetic, rowdy, always down for something badass. He can be aggressive, but for the most part that manifests in competitive energy. He can get a little excited and carried away, but a stern reprimand from someone higher up usually puts him in his place for a while. (Please please oh PLEASE don't kick me out >_<) He is confidently flirtatious, especially around 'nerdy women.' As for 'nerdy men,' Rod is likely to have some friction with them, but at least he knows better than to shove the Science Officer's head into the toilet. Rod knows full well that his strength lies in his weapons and muscles and will turn to those to solve his problems.
Skills, Strengths and Weaknesses, and Tools: Rod is very athletic, strong, and fit. He has some experience in kickboxing and much experience with phasers, though he doesn't have any actual battle experience yet. He is also very good at being loud. Rod has some difficulty remembering plans with many steps and understanding abstract concepts. He might rush into situations too quickly when he's excited. He could probably be seduced by an alien spy.
If I get approved, let me know when/where I'm needed.
His favorite color is red, which is GREAT because it matches his shirt! :D
Red shirt detected. So anyone want to bet how and when they'll become just another red shirt? I say first away mission, sucked out into space by explosive decompression. :)
We need something to take some of the serious out of this room. So even though literally all my instincts are screaming at me to say no... accepted. Drop him into the CS, and my Chad have mercy on our souls.
(Also, you're on team Alpha. Because you're an alpha male. And because that's the team where you can most get eaten by an alien pirate.)
Yeah, I couldn't remember where I got the joke from, but that's probably it.
Look, our ship's name is literally just a shortened version of "Enterprise" (because Star Trek), and our bad guy is a pirate who looks like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you pointed it out everytime I wasn't 100% original, you'd never have time to write
I personally would like at least one post to gather my.... supplies before we take off. I promise to do so by the end of Friday. If that's too late and everyone else is waiting, you may nag me to get it done sooner.
EDIT: Y'know, it would be nice but not really necessary to get that post. If everyone else wants to move on, it can just be a surprise for later.
