[OOC] Aboard the I.S.S. Prize : An Episodic Sci-Fi Adventure

[datadogie]

Poor Cake is going to be busy on all fronts. @datadogie Feel free to postpone solving the greenhouse crisis until the mission is over if you want to.

@Raylah

Reason I haven't posted yet: I write part of my post, someone else posts. I then add to my post, someone else posts, I add to my post. Then I decide I don't like my post and rewrite my post. XD

[Randomness]

Sounds like you need an AI buddy to help you manage the influx of information. Might I recommend a second AI named Muffins to help you manage your thoughts as you post?

[Tortoise]

I'll be posting tomorrow or the next day, when work lets me off for a while.

Heads up, everyone: I want to conclude this first adventure around this Sunday.

[IceHeart]

I'll be gone for a few days and won't come back till next week so I won't be around for the conclusion so don't wait on me or anything.

[Tortoise]

@IceHeart
No problem. I mentioned you in my post just now, but if you don't reply, don't sweat it. I'll just assume that Ambassador Fran was silent.

[Starlance]

If Rod survives, he's gonna have quite the war story to tell.

"Did I tell you about the time I headbutted a Fithagian pirate so hard it crushed my helmet? What, shot in the head? Noooo, noo, whatever gave you that idea? Definitely didn't happen like that."

[Zanavy]

He's dead, Jim.

[ShiningSector]

I'll have a post up later this evening.

[Randomness]

The Moray is 500 meters from the pirate ship? Wow, they really let it drift close.

@Zanavy
SO did you just kill Rod, or is Mason expected to save him?

[ShiningSector]

@Randomness

Technically outside that number but pretty damn close. Assuming this universe accepts energy-directed weapons losing effectiveness over longer distances (like due to particle dispersion), shooting something up close with them would increase their leathality, regardless of weapon grade (as what occured with poor Rod).

[Zanavy]

@RandomnessYou can try if you want, your choice, but red shirt isn't gonna make it. Tortoise said they wanted to wrap this adventure up this weekend so I did my part. :P

[Randomness]

So out of curiosity, were you here just for the one adventure, or are you going to have a new character for each one?

[Zanavy]

I'd like to keep rolling out new red shirts unless that gets too annoying

[Tortoise]

Alright, and there's our climax.

I was hoping to complete the entire thing in one big post, but looking over our IC so far, I see we still need to have Alpha team beam the pirates on board the shuttle. So, once a post is up about the hostages being rescued, I can finish the adventure.

(Plus, I wouldn't want to rob anyone in Beta from having a chance to write about actually fighting the pirates. So, now's the chance for that )

After this, there will be a small break before the next adventure. That way, we can have some time to make more relaxed posts about life on the Prize, talking to other characters, forming romances, killing redshirts for sport, or whatever. Free time, basically.

@Zanavy

Yeah, I had wanted that, but work grabbed a hold of me yesterday when I hadn't been expecting it. Adult life has more grabby tentacles than Du-Vos

@Zanavy

Not at all! If you go on with it for a few adventures, I'm thinking of making it one of the official rules. Like Rule 4: Zanavy characters can never survive a full story.

[Randomness]

Haha alright. Sounds like a plan. I’ll go ahead and do a wrap up post for the hostages. It should be out no later than tonight.

[Tortoise]

@Randomness

That's cool, but don't feel rushed.

[ShiningSector]

Is @datadogie still participating with us?

[Tortoise]

Is @datadogie still participating with us?

@ShiningSector

Honestly, I just figure they're a bit overwhelmed. A LOT of us have interacted with Cake, like making a request. They did mention that it was making posting hard:

@datadogie

So, I assumed that's all the absence is.

(...is it, @datadogie?)

[Raylah]

Every crew of every ship in every show: "We will do whatever it takes to bring our fallen heroes back home to be buried there."
I.S.S. Prize crew: "Let's plant a grenade in this dead guy and drown our enemies in blood and intestines!"

[Zanavy]

It's just what he would've wanted with his body: blasted in an EPIC fiery explosion! Thank you @Randomnessfor the beautiful and thoughtful funeral.
