You know every rp now has a characters tab where you can put the CSs, right Nobody? I was thinking of transferring the list there myself, but then you wouldn't be able to edit it. Then again, i'm probably more likely to keep it up to date :P So i'll just go do that anyways. Giving the players multiple ways to the character sheets is all the better.
And yay, Lum is here :3 Great character. One random question though, is her gun kinetic or energy? Both are still in use in current-day Andreemea. You can find more info on it [here](http://andreemea.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_Types_Guide). Oh, and [here](http://downloads.2kgames.com/evolvev3/images/uploads/caira.png)'s a larger version of Astraia's image if you want it.
As for the medical exams, i think we'll just use the same pad as we use for the voting, else we've got two links floating around that we can't keep track of because we can't edit em into the main post. [Here](http://piratepad.net/zENsp8QhD0)'s the link again, for easy access.
Well, i may have an idea for that. A collaborative post on piratepad. Instead of going back and forth with separate posts, you and another player both come online on piratepad at the same time and work together to write the interaction between your characters. When done, you do the same with the next person. When you've had all the characters, you copy the whole wall of text and submit it as one post. I've done it before and it could potentially save a lot of time.
I think i'll put up a character for this tomorrow.
Edit: Herp, i got ahead of myself and forgot this is just the interest check. But yeah, i'm interested, if that wasn't clear.
I don't think everyone heard about this, so i'll state it here. Although the current map shows only two floors, the definitive design of the Exeralune will almost certainly have more. Thus why i wrote "lower floors".
Gunnos had checked up with Daniel to ensure his safety and was making one last round of the lower floors when he was suddenly interupted. “What the-!” he yelled out as some blue blur came dashing around the corner and slammed into him at full speed. For a brief second it brought him back to the frost wurms of Dorghor, a memory he did not wish to relive, but he was quickly pulled back to the present to realize that this particular blur was just a humanoid, a young man of a race he didn’t immediately recognize.
The initial shock and impact had caused Gunnos to stumble and fall unceremoniously on his ass despite being normally sure-footed. Although he didn’t consciously remember drawing it, his shotgun was in his hands. “Gods, ye spooked me, lad.” he said as he clumsily scrambled back to his feet. The boy wasn’t wearing silver, so didn’t seem like an immediate threat, but he wasn’t in an IGCP uniform either. As far as he knew, there shouldn’t have been any civilians inside the military base when the attack happened, so what was he doing here? “Wait a sec. Ye ain’t one o’ us nor one o’ them silverclad. How did ye get in here?” he questioned sharply, while holding onto his gun just in case the boy meant to use that sword at his hip. He didn’t like acting distrustful to strangers, but sometimes it was necessary.
Given that the main post is no longer editable, we'll need another convenient way to display them. Post them here and they'll just get buried. Maybe on Piratepad. I'll set up a pad for that and see how it goes. [Here it is.](http://piratepad.net/zENsp8QhD0)
We'll still need a way to display that address without burying it though...
That's alright, there's not much for you to post about right now. Nobody will post soon enough, i'm sure, so he can move on the storyline.
Hi! Yes there is, and you're very welcome to join! The current episode is nearing its end, so the most convenient thing would be for you to join at the start of the next one. Have you been reading the IC as well? Damiann's character has been commanding the engineers by lack of someone higher up, so the chief technology officer was likely absent. We could either say the original was killed in the attack and have you as their replacement, or have you as the original and you were absent for some other reason. Either way, we welcome more players.
A little update for the players who don't frequent the chat: Because most players can't actively participate, we're gonna keep this air battle short. As in, the attackers will probably flee from the arriving reinforcements in Nobody's next post. Any unfinished interactions inside the ship are free to be continued meanwhile.
Now, to check, are you still around Darcs? You've been really quiet. Drop-in, drop-outing is totally fine, but please let us know.

“Affirmative.” Kwon replied to the captain as he steered the Exeralune to tail the departing drop ship at a safe distance. They followed the drop ship through the clouds and out into the open stratosphere. There was still no hostile ship in sight, only a few Furzai military ships in the distance, assumedly searching for the same culprit. But luckily, the drop ship seemed unaware that it was being followed and was leading them right to the target. Eventually, the shuttle came to a halt in mid-air, and Kwon witnessed it disappearing into thin air, inch by inch while the air around it vaguely rippled in distortion, as if it was being swallowed by some greater invisible structure… because it was.
The captain was seeing it as well. “It seems we’ve found them. Helmsman, launch the missiles at that invisible mass!” he ordered, dramatically pointing in its direction as if his very finger would project a beacon on the target. Kwon wasted no time in disabling the homing function, since there was nothing to lock onto, taking aim and firing. When he pressed the button, two 14-foot unguided missiles were fired from their launchers, positioned at the left and right-front of the ship. They sailed through the air unhindered for a few seconds, before suddenly hitting a previously-invisible barrier and loudly erupting into two fiery explosions.
As the missiles exploded, the object they’d hit flickered in and out of view as its cloaking system was struggling to stay active despite the damage. “Prepare to continue fire at my mark. Gunners, stand at the ready.” the captain spoke unfazed. For a moment, it seemed like the ship would resume full cloaking, but then the cloak was dropped completely, revealing a Light Cruiser-class ship with a silver, black and purple colour palette, facing its left flank towards them. It was slightly longer than the Exeralune and more robust in design, with a jagged exterior. But the first thing that caught Kwon’s eye, thanks to his experience in space combat, was the two sizeable turrets located along the side of the craft.
The cloak had barely finished dropping when the two Gatling guns started firing, unloading a hail of kinetic bullets against their frontal shields. Kwon quickly responded by swerving the Exeralune to the right and circling toward the backside of the hostile ship, causing the interior of the Exy to shake and angle to the right, possibly causing people inside to lose their balance. Turbulence was a lot worse within the atmosphere than in outer space, because the artificial gravity couldn’t function this close to the planet. Yet despite the turbulence, the captain remained calmly in his chair. “Good, keep avoiding fire and laying on missiles. Gunners, take any opportunity to fire at the ship’s engines, or otherwise the flank turrets. Communications officer, please attempt to contact any nearby Furzai ships and ask for assistance.” Nearby, the Valliur responsible for communications was already frantically flipping through frequencies to do just that.
All the while, Kwon was focussed. The hostile turret fire was diverted from the front shields to the flanks, and then halted when the Exeralune entered their blind spot. The launch button turned from red to green to indicate that the missiles were reloaded, so Kwon fired another salvo, unguided as to not waste any time locking on, at the enemy’s backside. Unfortunately, they simply exploded against the ship’s cling shields, dealing insufficient damage to break through just yet. The invaders’ ship started rotating to face them, forcing Kwon to stop strafing sideways and turn to show the enemy their flank, allowing for enough circling speed to stay inside their blind spot, but making further missile use impossible. The left side gunner was firing a continuous stream of pherza bullets into the enemy’s hind shield, while their own gunners could only take occasional opportunity attacks at the Exeralune’s flank. They were in a good position for now, but Kwon knew that the enemy would soon catch onto his trick and change up their approach, and he did not want to get caught in their superior firepower.
