[Hawlin]

I'll have something up tomorrow or Saturday if nobody has any ideas.

[agentmanatee]

IM BACK!!! And ready to post again, it'll be up either tonight or tomorrow dependong on much I procrastinate... don't judge me!

[ShiningSector]

My brother is visiting this weekend and next week so just as a heads up if you see less activity from me though I will post once I get the chance (in which case the next one will really get us going). Glad to have you back agentmanatee! Looking forward to your next post. Also liking this new GM stamp thing-a-ma-jig :3

@ShiningSector

It is quite cool :O have fun with your bro :D

[Mistress Dizzy]

Trying to draw Achieng. Been looking at pictures of dolphins and whales, and researching. Did you know that dolphins have no sense of smell? They can taste, but not smell. *thinks about this, and wonders if Achi has a nose or not*

@ShiningSector

This is now a word I use....

<Snipped quote by ShiningSector> This is now a word I use....

@Kitsune

This is always a word I use for things I don't know the name of. "Hand me the thing-ah-mah-jig!!" Person: ...wait what?

[BR8K]

This looks really interesting! Are you still accepting new players?

[ShiningSector]

I am still accepting new players though not for very long. Since the we're about ready to leave in the IC, introducing new characters will be tricky since the ideal window for that is no longer available. You would either be an already existing crew member or a character from one of the other vessels (we would need to plan that out in PMs).

[BR8K]

Sounds good, I've got most of a CS ready, once I get a bit of the backstory I'll PM it to you and we can hash out what'll work and what won't, I'm flexible to whatever!

[Hawlin]

I should probably resolve that post I started since rotation is...nonexistant? - Idk if we need everyone on the bridge.

[Mistress Dizzy]

^_^; Someone needs to explain to me what slipspace travel is.

[Hawlin]

Http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipstream_%28science_fiction%29 I'm not entirely sure which version we're using here, Though.

[Mistress Dizzy]

I keep reading it. I think my brain is shutting down partway.

[Hawlin]

I imagine it goes a bit like this... @~@;; Slipspace is like the tacky "crunching space in on itself to make it smaller then it may seem, finding the space in between particles to stuff a ship through the acceleration caused by protons in their natural orbit. The energy of the protons scraping against the shield in such a way serves as to power a generator which has the sole purpose of stuffing ourselves through the fold of atoms in a CRRRAAAAAZZZZYYYY metaphyiical-psuedoscientific McGuffin which makes sense of this. This wackey affront to modern science creates a 'field' emitted by the ship's gererator as to create a field around themselves as they do what I just said. With a bigger ship, the space would be bigger, maybe even so big that thethe mass of many small ships could be condensed into an area within the bubble; the stress on the ferrying ship being midigated by the 'Infamous Alto's shield, for example. A big ship with a bigger engine can travel faster than a smaller ship with a smaller engine. Its like how driving behind a semi-truck and following its slipstream during long-distance travel is pretty good for gas mileage. Science-fiction. GM, PLEASE?? ((I don't mean to come off the way I do, I just...don't understand the lack of understanding for the classic "Science-Fictional McGuffin" )) It doesn't need to make sense beyond what the gm says are the conditions for FTL travel in this instance

[Mistress Dizzy]

Oh. So basically, the Alto's trailing in the wake of the bigger ship... I get it. I keep having headaches, they make it hard for me to process things.

[Hawlin]

I was actually about to cut it down to "derp derp derp, let the gm sort it out". But I don't understand it. It gets bumpy in ways that Shining will explains in his post, but that's before this instance and idk if your character has ever experienced FTL travel. It's before the jump.

[Hawlin]

Sorry if I came off rude, I was losing my mind on ibuprofine and nyquil because flu. Edit: I still kinda am and can't sleep because of Nyquil-fever dreams. Ty spellcheck

[Mistress Dizzy]

@Hawlin *hugs softly* It's okay. I'm kinda dense, so if you weren't being blatant, I wouldn't catch it. *gives cool water and a blanket* Go to bed...
