[OOC] The Nomad, a sci-fi epic.

[Elevation]

Awesome I can't wait!

[Cath]

@Elevation Are you helping out @silver carrot's character beforehand?

[ihinka]

I'll see if I can come up with something after work... unfortunately it's too busy at the office this week to post during work hours.

[Elevation]

@Catharyn my character Hark wasn't going to help her but one of the marines still at the Scythian was just going to grab her and bring her in. Just to get her onto the ship nothing really major.

Sounds good!

@Elevation

Cool, feel free to make use of an NPC mini post if you've got it all ready to go

[Ozymandias]

Hello, apologies, working, back now

[ihinka]

@Starlance Posted almost at the same time I touched up mine to include your report to the director and your interaction with the marine. Feel free to use us as you see fit.

[Fury Panda]

@ihinka, my character (the Gulin) is inside the ship at this time. I believe the person/people behind the crate was Dalry and Miranda?

[ihinka]

@Fury PandaWell, damn!

EDIT: That should take care of it. Sorry, work hammered me today and I'm almost a vegetable >.<

[Cath]

Morning all!

Great posts guys, however I've noticed some mention of the Scythian being inside a hangar. This isn't the case; while there are some hangars available, the Scythian is sitting in the open atmosphere. This is partly because its significantly larger than the transports RX's spaceport was built to accommodate.

In light of this, could we tweak any reference to hangars in our posts regarding the Scythian please? @ozymandias and i will be jumping into the collab one more time today to finish off our post and then its ready to post!

[Conscripts]

I'll be posting in a few hours. Probably with a bit of retaliation.

[Conscripts]

Wow, having to wonder how to do this right is difficult. Am I trespassing my authority?

[drallinix]

Im waiting for the mob's response before Sammael, goes wolf mode on this guy.

@Conscripts

Theoretically, i think so? The captain of the ship is still on board so i believe the crew would take their orders from him over you. There is always a chance you could convince the Captain to go with your course of action if you lay out a well enough reasoned argument? I'm not exactly clear on how a chain of command works when the commanding officer isn't in the room etc. Could someone more versed in military hierarchy confirm?

[Conscripts]

Yyyeeeaaahhh. I just don't know. Because the captain is pretty much in his vulnerable chamber, and the fact that Nelson is a dude who disobeyed rules several times might be a reasonable cause to this. Okay, Loken's gonna yell at me for this.

[Starlance]

@Conscripts Yelling is not so bad. You could be sent to do security work somewhere :P

[Conscripts]

@Starlance

If this fails, then yes, I'm doomed.

@Conscripts

You have no authority. I am the law. The reality is that in an actual situation the captain would be at the forefront (in his conn, not the actual front), and the junior officers wouldn't be doing more than relaying orders. But this is just a game and the captain is an NPC that exists to facilitate GM-etry, so don't worry about doing stuff that might seem outside jurisdiction, as it were. However, I'd rather the ship wasn't GTA'd and flown off like a drone though, that sniper's probably only 1-2km away.

But yeah, Loken is gonna smash people. No medals for this one, just a lot of forced retirements, maybe a firing squad if they're lucky.

[Ozymandias]

Also, I didn't make this clear at all, but the sniper only fired one shot, then fled, same as the guy with the pistol. It was just to spark a riot. Same tactic the IRA used, the wankers. Too far gone in the IC now to make changes though

[Silver Carrot]

This falls into the realm of 'the characters don't know that' A bit like when Dalry's backstory has her screaming "NOMADS!" and I got told that the Nomad is a singular entity. Yeah, but Dalry doesn't know that.
