Hmm... I'm at a slight loss as to what to do with Kasy now.
She's going to get out of the rapidly degenerating crowd conditions shes in the middle of, but as I recall Voltin didn't want her to help Roland?

For recap:
It's Kosso's mission. The plan is to scam an arrogant, (currently) powerful hanar (Luek), by faking as guests or servants to his investor/funding party for rich peeps on a yacht, during a giant storm on the hanar's home planet.
Going off memory here, but Jenna and Roland were supposed to be general support. Get some guns/weapons, watch out for the crew, get ready to help the ones in trouble, etc. Volt wrote how Jeanna was stuck with some old unpleasant fellow and Roland completely missed the hint that she wanted to get rid of said fellow.
Roland tried to wander the ship outside of the acceptable party room (since there's nothing much else at said party room), got caught by a guard, made the excuse he was going to the bathroom, and got thrown into the security room.
Tanya and Kosso are trying to eventually convince Luek to show them around, to get to the place where all his stuff is.
Marianna was finishing talking to her mother, last I read. Got some info out of it too, I think.
Tzvi and Kygg are infiltrating and all that as servants, going to the security room with faked permission (right now).
Kas and Steveo were distractions - Steveo freaked out the door guard and dressed in unique fashion to get attention (also made himself a Spectre). Kas starting talking tech, which caused a crowd arguing about tech near the bar.
Mark was a bodyguard of one of the -genuine- guests at the party, got fired, then got crowded at the bar by guests and caused a fight with one of the bodyguard (Quantum) bosses. He's in the security room with Roland.

Oh my god. These new avatars are amazing.
Well, she could, but the small party we're having in the security room is likely to draw unwanted attention. Your call really.

H-Has anyone else noticed we've all got unicorns for display pictures?
M'kay, as distracted as I am by my impressive new avatar, I'm gonna try really, really hard to have that collab started by the weekend. And by the weekend I mean my weekend, which starts Monday. Because the world revolves around me.
I’ve been following this roleplay since march of last year, so you can say I’m a bit of a fan. Derv pointed out that there may be an opening for future shenanigans, so I decided to drop along and see what exactly that meant. I mean I’m curious as the last three Mass Effect scenarios I’ve been a part of sort of… fell apart—so you can imagine all of this is pretty appealing to me. Assuming you folks would want another tagalong (and a busy one like myself), I’ll gladly see if I can come up with something so I can be a part of this.
…or something.
…or something.

We're open to new members, so you're welcome to join. :] Just throw up a CS and we'll take a look.
It'll be a weekend somewhere.
I'll be really busy Monday/Tuesday, just a warning.

Let's see how this looks....
'tis a bit of a rough draft, but tell me what's up.
Name: Errol Vahn
Race: Human
Gender: M
Age: 24
Class: Infiltrator
Appearance:
Errol Vahn is about five foot seven and of fit, but nothing spectacular in build—he’s seemingly nothing much to scratch at and this has come into useful capacity when he comes into enemies who happen to under-estimate him due to his age, build, or appearance. He does not look like a marine, he does not smell like a marine, and he does not walk like a marine. In addition to all of this, Errol has black hair and hazel eyes—though he may have had a different hair color in youth.
Background:
“The galaxy isn’t like the wild west, it is the wild west.”
Born in 2151|CE to an interstellar businessman by the name of Miles Vahn, Errol was born & raised far from the human home-world of Earth and instead upon one of the vast colonial frontiers that began during this time. Errol’s father was an aggressive businessman who founded ErdeCo after liquidizing his properties on Earth as he believed that the only way to get in edgewise on companies like ExoGeni was to “put all of your cards on the table”. Laughed at by his former partners, Miles Vahn found himself desperate to make an impact on the galactic market that was colonial frontiers. As such Errol was born into a cosmic environment that was as underdeveloped as it was underpopulated. Growing up under the shadow of his father’s obsession to succeed in the galactic market was stressful as Errol found duties were being demanded of him straining the relationship with his parents even more. The immediate threat of hostile aliens, feral wildlife, social unrest, and criminal activity poised trouble to the growing community that ErdeCo had strived to create and one that they not only wanted to succeed—but needed to succeed. This behavior in Errol’s father would only continue to push his relationship with his wife further away at an exponential rate.
Between 2158 and 2161, young Errol would spend time at his uncle’s home on the colony—a general agriculture procurement, Alen Vahn, lived much simpler with the only threat being the rare fauna that would get out of hand. Enjoying his uncle’s stories of Earth was entrancing for Errol and he would begin to almost live at the farm during these years. During this time his uncle would teach him how to fire a rifle and to impress his relative he would adamantly strive to be better—for every day he stayed at the farm he shot targets and mended the farm to help his uncle. However, Alen Vahn grew sick and passed on from cancer-related struggles by the time Errol was eleven.
A year later in 2162, ErdeCo had expanded their operations into a local habitat of violent and fast creatures which resulted in an entire team of laborers to lose their lives due to ErdeCo’s carelessness. The family members of these laborers began to riot while other residents threatened to leave if ErdeCo didn’t get its operations in check. This threat against his livelihood caused Miles Vahn to “protect his investment” and hired a PMC group as “quality control” – this PMC group was the Blue Suns. This would begin the “dark times” of the colony as the Blue Suns received benefits plus their rate of service and the group began testing how much they were allowed to do without consequences. But Errol’s father only cared about the critical and financial success of his investments and took no shame into admitting it. Stuck out on their own, the citizens were practically stuck in a corporate dictatorship and Errol’s mother snapped—Errol never saw the colony again as he was taken away from its madness to find himself on another planetary hell: Korlus.
Korlus was not much for improvement and the alien-centric world that bustled with crime as well as poverty led Errol to have a much harsher childhood than he would have had if he stayed with his father. But like his mother, he sort of saw the benefit of freedom—any freedom, over what they had back on the colony. As humanity was new to the galaxy, the population on Korlus had so few of them making it an uphill battle to survive as his mother struggled to find work and make ends meet. Errol himself at this time fell in with a bunch of other human youths who found themselves on Korlus in poverty and among racism and thus a sort of gang was created amongst them. It wasn’t long thereafter that Errol and his friends got caught up into something stupid—an alien named Ardot Fek.
Running with Ardot Fek, a self-proclaimed “supplier” of goods led Errol into a life of organized crime. Fek saw cheap manpower in the youths as well as a useful utility in their knack to steal things. At first they weren’t asked to do much outside of pocket a few things or spot competitors (and law enforcement), but eventually as they became more useful (and older) they ended up “graduating” to carrying firearms as Fek’s underpriced guards. Errol found himself killing for the first time no more than a month after he was given a firearm—he was shaken by the experience, but Fek talked him down from his repulsions and convinced him it was only adrenaline that he felt and not any false moral consequences. Soon enough, Errol was making enough credits on the side to help keep himself and his mother afloat despite Fek underpaying him and the other youths. However, as nothing lasts forever and Fek ended up ditching the youths on Korlus after a bounty hunter had been reported to be on his trail from his previous years—leaving Errol with a few credits and a different sense of himself. The gang that remained were scattered; some of Errol’s friends fell into drugs or ended up dead and the few that remained grew distant. Errol was seventeen.
With a few credits to his name and no huge skill-pool, Errol found himself at a disadvantage on Korlus and despite his desire to leave the planet he really didn’t have the means or a plan if he even did. However, that’s when luck spun in his favor as a newly established mercenary group by the name of Graymane decided to scout out potential individuals on Korlus as at this point Korlus’ growing human minority became something known. Graymane sported a “humans first” ideal much like the krogan-oriented Blood Pack dealt rarely with anybody but Vorcha and upon recruitment Errol went up to bat and looked around at the other potential recruits and challenged them with a bet—he could shoot better and further than every last one of them; and with his experience of shooting distance at his uncle’s farm and spotting for Fek proved him for the most-part right and the recruiter was somewhat impressed.
Between 2168 and 2172 Errol operated, learned, and garnered the thing he wanted back when Fek left him on Korlus—a reputation, while small (the PMC company was also quite unknown) brought enough recognition. Often times on jobs he would operate as a scout or sniper as he kept an eye on situations before they turned sour.

Often times on jobs he would operate as a scout or sniper as he kept an eye on situations before they turned sour. This is where Errol would learn fundamental combat skills outside of street scenarios, but much like Fek the Graymane PMC group didn’t stick around long enough—after four years the company got accused of criminal activity and began to go under investigation which perceived to have the bulk of its membership scatter and their founder, Robert Torviski went on the run from the authorities leaving Errol on Omega trying to pick his feet back up. But at least this time he had something of a reputation for being a “good shot for a human” as a Turian mercenary once commented.
For a year thereafter Errol attempted a “normal” life as he felt he was a little tired of running and being shot at between the odd jobs he took, Fek, and his time with Graymane. However uneasiness took over him as he attempted to sort out something a little more legitimate on Eden Prime, which was a planet that made him a little nostalgic for the days of the past. Thinking that he needed to be at war with something and on the move he decided to work in the occupation he was used to after two years on Eden Prime.
For the last year he has jumped around odd job to odd job, never really seeking out another PMC company as of yet—but stranger things can happen. Errol brings to the table a little bit of streetwise knowledge, a good perception, and a steady hand with a firearm.

Well I guess I'll wait until Sunny D gets online and tells me he wants to join, or otherwise. Surprisingly (or not) I didn't have as much to write as I initially assumed and am pretty much done already.
In other news: my "d' key isn't functioning properly and requires me pressing really hard, so the d's may just not show up some of the time. It's really annoying.

My weekend has been pretty...debilitating, to say the least, so I haven't been able to get the posts I promised up. I know Derv specifically is waiting on me before he posts, so sorry about that bud ( i <3 u). Whenever I can get some work done I'll have something up.
Also, we have a few pending CS's, I see. We should probably actually figure out if/how we're going to integrate new characters into the story. Any ideas?

Not as far as I'm aware, no, sorry. :\ I looked as much as I could for the IC pages, but 8 was gone, and 9 only had the first post (by Sun). The end of page 7 was the giant Nova collab to decide the mission, which makes it pretty clear that the whole of the mission was wiped if it wasn't outside the site.
If Volt or anyone ever PM'ed RP poststuff, and had notifications for PMs to their emails, then the poststuff would be in their emails. But that's it.

I'd base it a lot on the character and figure it out as we go. Worst comes to worst, they're a victim rescued or a new employee hired that managed to find Nova enough to turn in an application/request.

Well, I'm not sure about any posts, but as the one who has written most of her involvement in the mission, she's been tracking guards, making sure that the team has been updated on their routes, and basically mingling as to not appear suspicious. Jeanna has -- the last time we've hear from her, that is -- been talking to an older gentleman who has been making some rather untoward remarks toward her, and tried mentioning an alternative to get away from him, to which Roland simply told her to stick with, since he can't take a hint that she didn't want to be speaking with him anymore.

Oh, and Soshi (as you forever shall be to me), you could join too if you want to, even if the Tick below me advises against it. xD

You were trying to figure out what to do with Kas, and considered having her help Roland. If you're set on that plan, and have her go to the security room, it'd fit to add you to the collab that I and Volt/Grif/Voltaire are working on.
I'd actually advise against it, just on basic strategy. We'll have three of the team all together, two that are supposed to be sneaky and stealthy, and bringing four of them is only gonna get more attention.
Of course, the mission being at risk or screwed is cool-coolz too. That can be better to write than things working out.
