@RumikoOhara

...this means you're still working on yours too? >>

[RumikoOhara]

@Ruby

Is this to be posted on our CS, sorry just not that used to seeing this question

[Ruby]

I was gonna post mine here in the OOC, but a few have added them onto their CSs, which is fine.

[RumikoOhara]

I've done part of mine and am struggling on how to discribe people I haven't see in action

Relations

Cadet Adam Kerrick


Master Chief Eso Rosk


Cadet Captain Lorelei

To Reva Lorelei was an interesting choice for a Captain because she came from so passive a race and her specialty was more as an Engineer and therefore less likely to have the aggressive nature required of a Warbird which a Starfleet Captain was surely a member. It wasn’t as if she didn’t know her job or that Reva wished to replace her anytime soon just an odd puzzle that she often found was normal for the Universe and sure to be a fascinating story to observe unfolding.

Cadet Ayna Nyx

Anya was someone who shared Reva’s familiarity with starships being as she was a Fleetbrat and raised on Fleet vessels. Not for a moment did Reva think her the same as she was because the Star people Ayna had traveled with were of the Warbirds of the Federation and had stricter environments in which to raise their children. She could see it sometimes displayed by the Tactician when others became less than becoming of an officer of Starfleet.

Luckily Reva also noticed that Anya was like her in the area of synergy knowing that a starship required a loss of privacy and the liberal use of diplomacy to maintain a team.

Cadet T'eklil Rarr

Reva considered T’eklil as mildly intimidating when she first met him then she considered all the tests of her own personality and psychology which the Academy had subjected herself and all the others to in the interest of testing their fitness as officers; it took her all of three minutes to come to this decision.


Cadet Slazkith

What could Reva say; “Slazkith was a male Gorn”

She knew of Gorn from her schooling but he was the first one she’d ever met in her and she could see that he was

Cadet Authur Locklin

Also, move your CS over. ><

Anya Nyx:

Sweet natured, even if she doesn't always want to show it. Youthful inexperience, but exceedingly compotent and more than capable. Shows initative that others don't, and that's one of the main reasons she's Black Squad's First Mate. Lor finds Anya pleasant to be around, and has offered on more than one occassion to be a sounding board should Anya need someone to vent to. More than anything, it's good to have another veteran of the Rigellian Incident around. If for no other reason than so Lor gets reminded that despite all the new, this is still the Jolly-Motherfuckin'-Rogers.

Slazkith:

As alien as alien gets to a Ba'ku--AND IT'S EFFIN' AWESOME! For the infinitely curious type like Lor, there's few things cooler than someone with such a radically different biology and background to herself. After living for a few centuries, it's hopefully understandable when new stuff gets you so excited. As such, Lor's gone out of her way to make the Gorn feel part of the Squad. She's made him lead formation runs, she's always said hi to him, and she's even had to make him "hold up the walls" when he starts to drift off during classroom time. But, hey, it's all affection.

T'eklil Rarr:

Speaking of fascinations. Lor has done incredibly deep dives on Borg technology at the Vulcan Science Academy and Andorian War College, she's even toured the first ever Drone Reinstituion Center to help former drones become reinstituionalized into Federation society, centers that specialize in offering medical, technological, and mental health services during her time in BioTech Sciences at the V.S.A. As such, Lor probably understands what T'eklil has to go through, and what challenges he faces, more than most anyone else in Black Squad--and she can't even imagine everything he has to go through. As the CHENG of the USS Challenger, T'eklil and Lor are often attached at the hip given the refits of the Challenger. Finding them talking about minute engineering details into all hours of the morning, and at every break in training, isn't exactly uncommon. No one knows the the Challenger like Lor does, but T'eklil is a close second.

Reva:

Lor finds universal humor in the fact that a Rigellion joined the Jolly Rogers after the Rigellion Incident. Even if the humor in question is bitterly ironic, at best. Not unlike Lor's time spent with T'eklil, Reva and Lor have spent many an hour going over the CONN systems of the Challenger--to say nothing of tactical manuevers. Lor has a high degree of belief in Reva's ability to fly the "ever lovin' shit" out of the Challenger (as Master Chief likes to put it), and that's good, considering mobility is the Challenger's greatest asset in a fight. Personally, Lor isn't sure just yet what to make of Reva, except it seems pretty clear that the girl had a unique upbringing...not that Lor's one to talk in that area.

Arthur Locklin:

Highly capable, so that's a plus, because Lor has seen Tactical students with far less talent in the area. When he arrived at The Pirate Ship (the natural nickname for ATT Squadron Barracks 369; the Jolly Roger's home barracks), Lor was the first face to greet the new Cadet, and welcome him to the Jolly Rogers. She promised he'd see a difference in training between the Academy and ATT soon enough, and she wasn't lying. It took all of a day for Lor to get Arthur in a holodeck to test him out in the holographic battlefield of space. He was slow, unimaginative, and nearly overloaded the EPS relay system twice during their first simulation. They would spend seven hours in that holodeck the first day, Lor's fanatic drive for perfection in a fight driving her to demand better from Arthur right from the word "Go." By the end of it he was at wit's end, and asking what her problem was. In that moment she unleashed all the fear and pain from the Rigellion Incident on him, trembling as she swore to him she wasn't going to lose another soul in a fight. Not when SHE was in that Command Chair. His response? "Let's go again, then." They've been close ever since. Just how close...there are rumors.

Adam Kerrick:

An Academy friend turned ATT Squadmate. Adam likes to poke at the hard veneer that's come to cover the once goofy, warm, lively Ba'ku. He doesn't understand it; he wasn't there when people were dying and screaming, when the Challenger was dark, smelling of blood and fire. The incident changed her forever, and she understands Adam isn't used to that, or the fanaticism that grew out of that moment into Lor. Suddenly her genius had a focus, every moment in her life before feeling half-wasted when she could've been preparing to save people, to ensure that kind of sloppiness didn't happen again. Still, she'll admit it's good to have Adam around; he's like a reminder of the person she used to be, and Lor would like very much to find some balance to who she was and who she now is. She's trying, and he very much helps that.

[Ruby]

The IC will probably start Friday, or Monday. Depending on when I can get the opener up.

[Ruby]

From Master Chief:

Lorelei:

Fucking tech wizard. Too smart for own good. Got her nose bloodied, but finally found some fight in her. A keeper.

Nyx:

Eager, takes some shit too seriously at times. Not a girl to fuck with. More to Command than she realizes, but has potential.

Slazkith:

Reminds me of my first wife. Appearances aside, tries hard, and he better or his Cadet Captain will kick his ass. A secret weapon?

Rarr:

Former Borg, Klingon halfling. Was Tuvok trying to troll me with this one? Knows his shit, though. Outstanding attention to detail.

Reva:

Bitch can fly the tits off the Challenger. Could probably fly the nuts off a washing machine. We'll see how she likes getting shot at.

Locklin:

Motivated, sometimes concentrated. Hell of a shot, ballsy sumbitch in a firefight. If he can keep his eyes on the mission and off his Cadet Captain we might just have us a Marine here, afterall. Don't let him sit next to Kerrick.

Kerrick:

Wiseass. Privately, love it. In front of the Cadets? Shut it, do work. I'm told he has a great imitation of me. Maybe he'll grow balls and show it off one day. Seems to have a rapport with the person Lorelei used to be. Reminds me of young me. Don't let him sit next to Locklin.

[Ruby]

Officially began working on the Intro post.

Something of an unofficial mission brief, party intro.

[RumikoOhara]

Always here

[Ruby]

Because I didn't get to it in the IC intro:

'The Pirate Ship', Black Squad's barracks building, is a square building with three floors, with a courtyard in the center of the building. First floor is mostly training spaces; lecture hall, tech labs, classrooms. Stairs at the ends of the building. The second floor is more classrooms, multimedia centers, kitchen, lounges, gym, and junior squadmates dorms, the third floor is entirely senior squadmates dorms.

[Ruby]

So we're clear: expect the "going away party" to last a few rounds of posting. At most I'll allow it to last three.

After that we're on the ship and they'll be a a few rounds of posting for everyone settling in.

Then we'll arrive at the Area of Operations and story events will begin.

[RumikoOhara]

@Ruby

Sorry about missing the intro post, will keep a closer eye for future posts

[Ruby]

Few days left for some of you folks to post under the preferred time table. Let me know if you need help!

@Ruby

My first post will also be a collab of sorts with Meri, should be done once her gets back from being awesome.

[Americore]

@Ezekiel hey bud, I'm able to get on here on my phone if you want to continue here? I will just be busy most of this weekend. Late Sunday afternoon I will be completely free otherwise.
