I swear I'm not intentionally lying guys. I've been busy, and when I'm not I'm too tired to post. I'm trying to find a new place to live by the end of the month, get ready for some advancement courses at work, and figure out when I'm going back to school and for what. I had kinda hoped the RP would reach a certain level of self-sufficiency by this time in the year, so it's become a bit difficult to give it my full attention at the moment.

@The Red Zephyr

HE'S LYING. I CAN TELL.

RIGHT THROUGH HIS TEETH. EVERYONE PANIC.

no, but seriously, keep doing what you're doing, Zeph. We don't really mind. If we did mind, what would we do about it? Go over to you physically and poke you until you post?

N-not like I'd do that or anything... Baka...~

Which reminds me, is there a callsign for the ship/Alexis when we're on mission? Or do we just address mission control as "Lincoln"?

Also, @Whoami, PM me when you're available, we need to do a collab for an upcoming plot point

@vietmyke

Oh, right. We need like a titan pad or a google doc. FOR THE TEAM.

I've got a bit of an idea that should help bring the crew together, why don't we all go hit up the simulators? Load up a mission and get into some combat, it might not be real combat, but it'd be the closest we could give the rookie.

All the fun happens when I'm asleep

@Harbringer

A solution? Don't go to bread.

Keep in mind everyone, the only people who know Ariana is going to be flying Tori's machine is Trapp, McKnight, and Alice- because Alice is an AI and can access data she shouldnt. Naughty.

@vietmyke

But Wes is a l33t hakker who knows every single military secret!

"Aww, hell," Wes said in response to the the new arrival of their latest member. She was greener than a four leaved clover and had half the luck. From the way she brought herself, she looked straight out of training. He had been about to respond to Lin, about how they were all regulars once, but the rookie had decided to interrupt that conversation. From the little information he had heard, she hadn't even had one bout of combat. Soldiers without combat experience always ruined a mission. There was nothing worse than going on an important mission while at the same time babysitting a 'cruit. The same could be said for any kind of force, ground, air, space, it didn't matter, rookies didn't know shit. But at least she wasn't one of those rookies straight out of boot. The kind that thought they knew everything because they had gone through what every other soldier had gone through in basic. Wes almost wanted to just go back to reading through his data pad, ignore the whole thing and continue reading the book he had downloaded. Acquiring a taste for reading is just another thing he learned in War. There isn't much to do on a bulky bucket of rust in space other than to work out or shoot at the range. Thus, the UEE had done something right and gave free access to their extensive library. Still had to pay for movies and shit. Unless you were smart and pirated them or copied them off other pads. "At ease that shit, recruit. None of us are really officers," he said, grunting as he stood up slowly from sitting against the hard crate. He was pretty sure the shipment inside was a bunch of cigars or fine steaks, because it had 'precious' and 'officer staff' on the label. He let out a sigh before continuing, taking up the job of introducing everyone. "Blah, blah, welcome to the Lincoln, blah blah... These are your squad mates, our local Frenchman," he said pointing at Delacroix. "Next is the other new guy, Trapp." A finger pointed at August. "He's our new squad leader. I guess." "Right there's a rabbit in disguise," he said pointing at Lin, still lying on the crate over McKnight. "Underneath her is ye old McKnight, who won the award last year for best last name in the service. Sourpuss over there is Astelion. Don't piss him off, newbie." Wes shrugged slightly. He hadn't really felt much over the death of their old squad leader. Sure, she was a nice woman and all, but really she hadn't given much impact as a leader. "I have no idea where the Russian is. Don't piss him off either, he'll eat you 'cause he's a bear." Wes looked back towards Yuu. "Yuh-yoo- fuck it, Echo is our local Jap. She's got a fancy mechanical eye," he said with a jerk of his head towards her. "Alice is probably stuck in the system, likely talking to the shipboard AI. She's a robot." He pointed towards Trent. "He's a wizard." "Lastly, you've got Maki over there. Don't fall for it." He whispered towards Ariana, "She's a big Honey Trap." He stopped and looked back towards everyone, who likely were pissed off at his mockery of an introduction. "Did I miss anyone?"

I'll go ahead and pump out a Wes, then. Wes be ruining everyone's images.

Who wants to post first? I have a feeling that all of us are scrambling to get our own, so to avoid any ninja-ing, we might as well let people go in order.
