[OOC] GEARS: Silent Line Redux (Silverwind Blade & KingKonrad)

[Rhona W]

Continuation of the previous RPG as a 1x1 after that RP failed.
Link to the previous RP's thread for reference: roleplayerguild.com/topics/179850-gea…

Premise:
After the mission to recover intel on the Silent Line, the information recovered by the Ghosts required a two pronged approach. The unit was split up. Silverwind and Max headed up the newly reformed Ghosts, with the addition of a support infantry unit, and a roster of new pilots picked by Silverwind. The other pilots from the original incarnation of the Ghosts formed a new 'Phantom' unit, and were assigned other missions, based on the intelligence information recovered, and information from the prisoners extracted

Now, a few weeks later when the dust has settled, Max and Silverwind prepare to take on their new missions and operations.

Awesome stuff. Appreciate all the links/admin put up here. I've put Max and his fireteam in and can extend this out with another more general-purpose team too if needs be.

I'm ready to go when you are!

[Rhona W]

I've put up some additional GEAR pilots to give us a bit more firepower too, had a lot of fun creating them. We can also add a support team - techs etc - if wanted as well.

I can get an IC post up later to get us rolling, probably this evening. As I said before, I already have an idea of where our next mission will take us, as I had a storyline partly plotted out before things ground to a stop. Would be a useful place to have the fireteam make their debut as well, as it'll be a more active hot-zone than the last mission.

@Silverwind Blade

Love it- quite the variety! Yeah we can add that later down the line.

Sounsd good to me- once the IC's up I'll work a response up with the fireteam.

[FourtyTwo]

First post is a bit odd from me- an in-medias res intro to Max's home life and his team!

[Rhona W]

So, funny story; I didn't realise/remember that when you create a thread/topic, it doesn't auto-subscribe you to it. I kept logging into the site and expecting to see notifications, and only realised today that it might not have subscribed me... derp >.> clearly this lockdown thing is affecting my brain :P
I will catch up an make appropriate replies in the morning...!

@Silverwind Blade

No worries mate, all ready when you are! :)

[Rhona W]

I didn't want to linger too much on the briefing, but if we want the characters to chat more, there's more than enough opportunities for them to do that. Same with the various 'individual tasks' they were given, figure we're both savvy and knowledgable enough to have our characters go and take of things and know what needs doing, or can discuss it here and buddy characters up if wanted, etc.

[FourtyTwo]

Ah awesome! I'm gonna cook up something now- I'll have them finish up in the armory and then they'll get the rest of their tasks done.

EDIT: I've actually gone with a slightly longer post than I expected. I wanted to give a teeny bit of depth to a piece of kit they're using- and get them all armoury'd up!

[Rhona W]

Made a Silverwind post, much like Max's one of just loading up, or at least confirming loading up. Wanted to do more, but was a bit lacking, and also pressed for time. It's not much, but adds a little. I'll probably do another with the rest of the python team coming to the armoury so everyone can chat to one another, unless you want to get another post up first.
Took me longer than I wanted to reply; it just took a bit to get my brain firing on all cylinders, and get myself in the RP headspace - though, been looking forward to carrying on, and still keen to do so.

[FourtyTwo]

That's alright- I was a bit dry on mine as I wanted to do more! The next one I'm working on is a bit more interactive, a little less techy and a bit more progressive!

Me being a little silly didn't read all the descriptions for the GEARs attachments again- so I've modified Max's loadout slightly (Overwatch pod instead of ELINT). It's a little more noisy but I imagine like a radar-based battery can be silenced if turned off, right?

[Rhona W]

(Random question (may have been covered already)- what sort of terrain are they dropping into? And just for clarity, what sort of support vehicle is it?)

@kingkonrad

Makes sense to reply in the OOC for this ^^
Terrain wise for the initial drop; it'll be farming fields; mostly open and gently rolling terrain with a few outbuildings and dwellings etc here and there. Then the resistance will meet us and guide us into the city - in theory...

As for the vehicle:



I'll get a reply up in a little while too :)

[FourtyTwo]

@Silverwind Blade

Ah had something like this in mind!

[FourtyTwo]

I thought I was going to do a short post, but I really wanted an introspective post into Max- I think I channel a common theme of pragmatic fatalism into my characters (Max certainly has parallels with Jan but I'd say he's far more exiting and a little more centrally flawed!).

[Rhona W]

Got a post up, sorry it took so long, haha xD
It was a shortish one with a bit of silliness and messing about, but I wanted to get something in for Python to do and say.

[FourtyTwo]

No worries! Fun little post- I'm gonna just put a short one up in a moment- just pushing forward a little bit with Viper kitting up a little early!

[Rhona W]

Can always skip some time, tbh I wasn't really planning anything eventful for the flight anyway, so a few hours skipped ahead is fine

[FourtyTwo]

Yeah nothing too major- I've jumped ahead with one part of the post but it's up to you if you want to follow that up, put filler in, hold it back or all three! Apologies if that was a bit of a leap!

[Rhona W]

No problems - have been a bit slow on replying and picking up on replies, but haven't forgotten or lost interest; just taking a while to get my own replies up. Will get one up soon though!

[FourtyTwo]

No worries man!
