In that case expect Pinocchio's first project to be a giant death mech of great deathy death. And maybe some destruction added in there for good measure

I'll make it my mission to wipe the thing from existence with an even bigger death mech of great deathy death.

You do realize if you do that this is going to turn into a huge wank off

God I hope not.

On an entirely different note, does everybody want to be able to do an character intro post on the Corvette or just get straight into the action?

[Synthorian]

I feel like doing at least an intro before we get down to it. But we'll see what everybody else says.

[TTwoThumbsUp]

I think it'd be best to create a single collaboration post for whoever wants an introduction type thing and stick it into the OP or the post after it. Otherwise I much prefer jumping straight into the action.

[NewSun]

Or anybody who wants an intro can PM me their writing and it'll all go into the OP (is that what TTwoThumbsUp was suggesting? Sorry if it was), if somebody doesn't want an into, they need not PM me anything. Other than that, it'll be briefing straight from there.
If anybody does want a bit of intro, write your scenes in the Corvette, just as the ship has stabilised after coming through the wormhole.

I don't mind diving into the action. Though I do think it might be a good idea to figure out

A. how long people have been working together and what everyone thinks of the other members of the group?

Not too long. The Terrarial H.A.K.E.S.A.T.H has spent the last year or so gathering the Ephemeral, but how much of that time they have been together is something I haven't specified and don't really plan to. Whether they like each other or not isn't really my concern either, you guys can choose to or not, but it will compromise your missions if there are domestic problems. that would be interesting for storytelling, but thats also a great way to get dead, so decide between yourselves at your own discretion.

[Synthorian]

It seems like Thalos is the only one who is somewhat sane on this vessel. So I think she would keep to herself for the most part.

[Raptorman]

Alsia is insane?

[Synthorian]

By Thalos's standards. xD

She's a creepy alien.

[Raptorman]

A creepy alien who looks pretty close to an attractive human. lol

[NewSun]

You're all horrifically mentally scarred. You're all mad by my standards.

But then again, the targets...

[Synthorian]

The AI would have told her Alsia's history. Her race is dangerous, and Thalos will stay away from her if she can.

[Raptorman]

This does assume that the AI know the history of every member of the team and is inclined to share. Some people might not like every detail of their past being shared.

[Synthorian]

True. I think the AI would know though. Since it seeked out all our characters specifically.

As to sharing, I have no idea. Thalos personally wouldn't give a damn if the AI blabbed about her.

Still, Thalos would try to keep her distance from everybody. She doesn't even trust the AI right now.

Pinocchio loves you all for who you are (:

[NewSun]

The Terrarial HAKESATH won't tell if it isn't asked, but it'll dispense public domain information on request, so it'd be safe to assume all characters at least know who the others are and some of what they're capable of. Bear in mind you're all working towards a single purpose, and you're literally the last hope of freedom throughout the universe. However clinically batshit your characters may be, surely they will see the enormity of their mission.

Of course he does. But not our fashion sense.

I'm sure all the characters do in their own way.

[NewSun]

Also i'll cover this in more detail when the IC starts in the briefing, but your first target will be a Human by the name of Hayden Kolac.

Hayden Kolac

Nicknamed 'The Archangel' by his men, he defected during the wars leading up to the destruction of Earth (through cybernetic enhancements, Hayden is over 300 years old and still going strong) taking a compliment of his most loyal soldiers and killing nearly 10 times their number in those loyal to the Empire. He now controls a small facility in orbit above Tyosis-Beta, dedicated to mining operations and development of specialised fuels.
The defector must be punished. His men must be destabilised. The first blow must be dealt to the oppressors.
