Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Jason -- Watch ol' bandit RUN!!


Jason leaned against the door jamb and listened as Jon, Tess, and Ken all spoke their minds on the current situation. Ken being Ken spoke his mind first, “Arrowhead class?” he snorted, “they are fast and probably equal in speed to us in normal but at a hard burn we got them on speed and we would be more maneuverable.”

“Besides,” he continued looking in Tess’ direction again, “they aren’t good enough to out fly Tess here.”

“Now as for guns,” Ken said as he shrugged, “they wouldn’t have any armament on that thing, not with the way the Feds are about such things. We got guns onboard, but only need to worry about that if they catch us. Also that is a small ship, 2 man crew and 2 passengers normally, and not able to carry many people aboard for any length of time with life support constraints. But I would still think you want to avoid a firefight onboard if possible.”

“I say we tell them to buzz off,” Ken finished up, “then haul ass out of here.” He shook his head and said, “I know; I wish I could figure out a way to give up the goods for that kind of scratch and not be hounded by the guys that hired us but frankly I can’t!”

“Well, at least you thought of the fact that we’d be hounded from here to the edges of the verse if we tried to double cross either of these parties. Besides with some of the names on that guest list, I figure the Tong are expecting delivery at the party…why else would the guest list include several high level Tong?” Jason thought to himself as Ken concluded. He kept his silence and waited to hear Tess’s opinion before chiming in with his two-cents.

((OOC: I’ll update or post again after Celeste posts and then perhaps again after MMV posts.))

Subject: Jason --- Flashback fever!


Jason stirred in his bunk, his eyes flickering, caught in yet another nightmare.

Running down the narrow alley, his eyes flash back over his shoulder yet again checking his back trail, “Nothing, good maybe I’ve lost those double dealing huen dahn this time,” He paused for a second to check the time, he did have a boat to catch. As he put the time piece away and looked up to check his surroundings, he heard the sounds he had been dreading. The sounds of his pursuers trying to be stealthy in their approach, he shook himself mentally and turned to face his remaining pursuers.

“Boys, Boys, we really don’t have to do this again,” He said in an almost jovial tone to the men walking toward him, “Didn’t the last guys tell you how this went?” As he asked that question he suddenly switch direction and took two bounding steps and launched himself into a flying sidekick at the man directly in front of him…..


Gasping, Jason sat up in his bunk. Reaching out, he felt around until he found the lighting controls and then raised the level gradually in his quarters. He swung his feet out of and onto the floor and stood all in one smooth motion. He always woke like this, a more than rapid transition from sleep to awake. After finishing his morning absolutions, Jason had just started into his morning yoga exercises when the ship’s intercom squawked out a message from Grace to Tess and Jon to join her in the cargo bay. “I wonder what that’s all about,”Jason thought as he moved through the warrior pose, “Whatever, they’ll call me if they want me… It does make me wonder about that last dream though… I haven’t thought about my ‘escape’ from Persepone in years… Although, those ta ma duh mobsters still haven’t given up the chase… Don’t get me wrong I stay off the grid as much as possible so as not to cause Destiny problems and it’s not like the Nien mohn is after me but…the Tong!! this is great, just great As Jason’s thoughts tapered off he realized that he was more than half-way through his morning routine and sweating heavily, “Guess, I’ll need to make sure I don’t stink before I leave for morning chow,” he muttered as he forced himself to relax and slow down.

Guys,

I'm around and I will be posting first thing today....I rather doubt that Jason will be making an appearance in the Cargo bay as he wasn't called for....I'm sure someone will let him in on the merde that was just dicovered or if he's needed you can always call for him...he'd definitely show up then.

Merci,

Subject: Jason -- midnight in the garden of good and wevil??


Jason leaned against the counter and listened silently; pondering what they might run afoul of if the information got out that Destiny had possession of this ta ma duh card. Oh yeah, he thought as the Jon got all fired up over Ken calling Priscilla a whore,this is just jing chai! We just find out that we’ve been dropped smack into the middle of a heap of ma fuhn and now you two are arguing over the implications of a word!?! The face’s features never gave a glimmer of his thoughts.

After his little tiff over the whore comment, Jon laid out some orders for Tess and Grace. Tess responded and headed off for a couple of winks with Ken following after her. After Ken and Tess had cleared the room, Jason shifted back onto the balls of his feet. Walking over to the dish pit he took care of his own dinner things and left them to dry. Nodding his fare well to Jon and Stephanie, he headed for his room to change into his workout gear. He grabbed a towel and draped it over one shoulder heading for the weight pile and the speed bag. He was brooding and didn’t want to explode on his crew. I’ll just go work it off…and maybe then I’ll be able to look at this problem more rationally

Jason started of his workout with a routine that could have almost been mistaken for a form of dance. Progressing further into his warm-up, his speed increased even as his movements became more complex. Soon Jason was pushing himself hard enough that sweat stated to glisten on his face and trickle down his back making his loose shirt stick to him. Feeling his breathing start to go ragged, Jason began to end his routine. As he came to the end of his warm up he made sure to finish his stretching and then went about his usual workout vigorously enough to tire himself.

An hour and half later Jason was toweling the sweat off himself and getting ready for bed himself. I wonder what watch I have tonight? he thought as he relaxed into his bunk, Oh well, I’m sure they’ll wake me. was his last conscious thought as sleep took him into its gentle embrace.

Subject: Party goers...


MMV,

I understand what you're saying and you have a couple of good points. First, I do think that not having Grace, Tess, or Jon with Jason at the party isn't that big of a deal. Jason is in constant possession of a micro transmitter and so never really out of touch with the ship and her crew. Second, after having reviewed the character sheets I'm convinced that having Doc Young on Jason's arm could be extremely beneficial as she is well know and well respected through out the verse. Also, Grace has three major prejudices that would certainly complicate things having her along.

Guys,

Well, my post is up. As always let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Al,
I'd like to see what I can find out about the Tong members on the list as well as do a little bit of digging on Otello. My thoughts on that are perhaps to schmooze my way in with Decimus or maybe look into having a hacker perform the task.

Merci,

Subject: Jason -- Round 1....FIGHT!


“Got summit wrong with your eye, Ken?” she asked, flipping out her knife from her belt, “I’m always ready to help a pal out. Might’n be able to fix that nasty twitch of yours if you ask nice.” She regarded the blade for a few more seconds before sticking it back into its sheath.

Jason watched the silent banter that Ken aimed at Tess and her response with an in-ward grin. Careful there Ken, you might not want to push that too far. You never can tell what’ll happen if you piss that girl off. Having served himself a decent portion of stew and asked his opening question, Jason leaned against the counter and started to eat. Grace entered served herself and proceeded to answer his question,

"I can answer that," Grace replied to Jason’s query, "It's her wave transmitter. Kind of like a companion’s S.O.S signal. She sent a message to her guild before she passed out. I have no clue what, the machine doesn't save it. If you really wanted to know, I would have to dissect her transmitter which would piss her and her guild off."

“I highly doubt that we want the Companion’s guild, with all of their money and connections, upset with us,” Jason said his eyes still on his stew.

He looked up from his bowl and Grace locked eyes with him and said, "You might want to send a message to the Guild. Tell them where she is and warn them that she might be in danger. I did some research on her. Looks like someone using Higgin's code is trying to see if anyone died recently. She should be safe on Greenleaf. The place is crawling with Alliance."

Grace looked at the Captain and said "I think after the party we should return to Greenleaf. I found this medical card in her case." Grace pulled the card out of the pocket on her jeans and handed him the card "Stephanie says it's for organ donors. I think she won't needing it any time soon but the sooner we give it to her, the better" She said

“Or, we could post it to her from Osiris, and keep our noses out of other people’s business that is no concern of ours.” Jason spoke quietly, “It might be unwise to interfere in the affairs of the ultra rich and well connected.”

"Finally I think we should be carefully. I think the Feds will be coming back. They came in looking for fugitives but the leader started talking about smugglers when he tapped against the wine. I thought it was strange so I checked out the cases. Size wise, they aren't correct. A little too big. And when I leaned against it moved. With its size and weight that should have been impossible. Plus it looks like there is a hidden door on each barrel. I also noticed Norm made sure when we were loading them, none of us actually touched them. Rich Folks aren't in the habit of lending out equipment unless they got something to hide." Grace explained. If there was any startled looks or anything, Grace didn't notice and took another mouth full of food. As she chewed, a thought crossed her mind and she glanced at Stephanie.

"Hey Stephanie, would it be okay if I borrowed the X-ray machine?" Grace asked the doc.

“I’d just like to point out that as of this time, we, as a crew, have plausible deny-ability,” Jason stated starting to get just a touch annoyed, “As it stands the feds may just be onto Norm and Howard’s little side operation. So, the faster we get this job done and find another one the faster we can be out of this little mess that we’ve found our way into the middle of. Unless of course you all think that we can cross the Tong, The Alliance Aristocracy, and the Military, without repercussion?”

Jason’s aggravation had made him restless and setting his bowl on the counter he began to pace as he spoke. Jason thought hard while he paced. He was trying to figure out the best way to put all of his experiences with the both crime and aristocracy into a viable whole and draw a conclusion from all of the various bits and pieces info he’d gathered or been given. After a few seconds he began to speak again, “First, we don’t know that Norm is involved. Second, the feds may or may not come back while we have this cargo, but if they do I’d like to be able to look that Colonel in the eye and honestly tell him we have and have had NO knowledge of anything other wine in those barrels. Third, if we start digging and somehow interfere with the Tong’s business, how long do you think it’ll take them to come after us?” Jason stopped pacing and took a deep breath calming himself, “Look, I’m not trying to aggravate anybody but we need to look at this from all the angles, and then find the best way out.

“Anyone have any other tidbits of information to add?” Jason asked, “I’ve got some messages out and I’m checking into appropriating a guest list for Otello’s party. From what I could gather quickly the guest list looks like a who’s who of the Parliament, the Aristocracy, and the top level Tong,” Letting out a sigh the face scrubbed his face with his hands and continued, “I suppose that if we want to dig deeper into this mess I could always look into at the party. Norm did arrange for a pair of tickets for us,” Jason paused and took stock of the crew, “However, I think that the Doc is the best choice to accompany me into the party. No offence Tess, Grace,” Jason nodded to the pair, “but you two ladies wouldn’t blend in very well,” Jason shook his head continuing, “Ken, well you’re just a bit too rough around the edges. And while I know you’d try cap,” Jason met Jon’s eyes as he finished up, “we both know this is my kind of game. Besides, the Doc knows the ropes of high society. She’ll probably have an easier time of it.”

Finished speaking for the moment Jason leaned back against the counter and resumed eating waiting for the inevitable explosion from the rest of the crew.

Al,

Hey I'm just curious if the update post (or at least the part for Jason) was in response to the info requests that I sent you? As far as my post goes I'd like to acquire a partial guest list for the party and then maybe see what Grace and I can dig up, so to speak, on the guests in the hopes of finding us another job.

Guys,
My apologies for not being on much lately. If you need something from me send me a PM (I check these on a regular basis) and I'll get back to you. This is the best way to do a collaboration post with me. I'll try to get my post up today as I'm apparently going to be home today...cause I'm a little sick.

Subject: Jason -- It's Dinner Time!


“Not sure what your gittin at, Jason,” Tess responded as she set the final flight path, “It isn’t like I’ve seen the whatever gorram thing the Doc got scared up, is it? Been a little busy with the Feds, truth be told.” Tess replied as she sent Destiny rocketing off for Osiris.

“I was just wondering if you had any guesses,” Jason replied standing up from his console, “Besides, it not like we have anything else to do right now.” it’s not like we know anything about the contents of the case or what its purpose was. Jason thought as he stretched some of the stress out of his shoulders in a shrugging motion. Besides, I’m sure that Grace would’ve said something to the crew if it were dangerous. “Well, I guess I’ll go clean-up and make myself presentable, maybe I’ll send a wave or two and see if I can’t ‘dig-up’ at least a partial guest list for Otello’s party,” Jason nodded his farewell to Tess as he left ops and headed toward his room to shower and change.

After showering and changing Jason felt more like his usual self and set about sending a few short waves to request the info he’s looking for. He was just about to start the multiple wave send when the ship’s intercom crackled and Jon’s voice emerged, “Crew meeting in the galley, let hash out what’s been going on………. and bring an appetite.”

Jason hit the send button and stood from the console I guess it’s dinner time, hey at least it wasn’t my turn to cook….and who knows maybe I’ll get some answers. Jason thought as he made his way to the galley.

Entering the room he finds that the only other member of the crew present is the Captain, “Hey Jon, you find out anything about Priscilla’s mystery package?” The Face asked as he grabbed a bowl and spoon and began to serve himself a bowl of stew.

Subject: Jason -- On the Road again


The crew assembled in the cargo bay to await boarding. "Looks like we in trouble again" she said outloud.

“Just keep cool,” Jason commented seemingly to the room at large, “These Alliance jockeys will be back on their way soon enough.”
Just as long as Ken can keep it together and nobody does anything stupid Jason thought with his fingers crossed if only mentally.

The door to the cargo bay was knocked on three times in succession. The Captain released the doorway and the cool ozone scented air of the alliance cruiser filled the noses of everyone waiting. In walked the white haired Captain/Colonel with two of his men from the planet, the voluptuous Vasquez and the silent Hicks - in full black dress uniforms too. Then behind them six security officers in armor, helmets and carrying rifles came in, split into two groups and flanked the Marshalls on either side.

At least they haven’t drawn down on us yet. Jason smiled as he stepped forward and held out his hand to sanders.

"Ahh. We meet again Captain Brown. I see you found a cargo. Wine? of course. At least you aren't flying empty?"

“Well, Colonel Sanders, it’s a small shipment but it sure does beat the hell out of flying empty,” Jason’s smile never slipped as he assumed his familiar role of ships’ spokesman, “I must say that it was a surprise to get your cruiser’s hail, let alone to see you again in person.”

"My apologizes but I have the unfortunate task of finding some fugitives. I normally wouldn't be involved in this, but for some reason the orders were sent to me directly. Puzzling actually. Anyway i wish to put this behind me. We will be searching your ship for any of the smugglers that may have eluded capture. You wouldn't know anything about that?"

“Smugglers!?!” Jason assumed an expression of both innocence, and minor offense, “I assure you, Colonel, the only individuals on-board this ship are standing here at this time.”

"Didn't think so. This is formality really." He waves his hand and the two groups leave to look over the ship. "But it is always the ship you don't search that is the problem."


"So you are going to Baron Otello's party! I hear it is quite the event. " The colonel walks over to the wine barrels and leans on one casually, "So this is THE wine? Heard about it. Suppose to be excellent. I'm not much into wine myself but I am sure you are being paid well. What is the going rate these days?"

“Not enough,” Jason said with a smile, “But, hey it was a job and we needed to get off of Greanleef before the cost of beer drove us in to receivership.”

"Ahh." he says and taps the barrel in the centre a few time. "Yep. That is full." He continues and taps each one a number of times and then walks away from the barrels."Smugglers. never know where they are willing to hide. found some in the ventilation shafts of a septic system once. Now that's dedication to hiding."

“I have to admit, that is true dedication to keeping your stash hidden,” Jason replied shaking his head, “We sure aren’t in that business, this ship doesn’t have to many places to hide things. We make our money with speed. The shorter the deadline…the higher the price. So you see sir, there’s no need for us to run contra-band” He finished with a shrug as if this explained everything.

After 30 minutes the teams return and reform ranks. Vasquez shakes her head at the colonel and he nods. "Right! Sorry about that. I thank you for your cooperation and time. I hope we didn't delay you too much."

“Well Marshall we all have our job to do and we got lucky to find this shipment. “ Jon escorted the Marshall to the airlock sealing the airlock behind the Feds as they left Destiny.

As the Alliance boat Erikson headed away Jon pounded on the bulk head. “That seemed too close, let’s just take it easy and mosey out all calm like. Tess, go ahead and fire her up again but let’s just dance our lady away like no big deal. Jason, let’s try it again with the Goodbyes and Fair thee Well’s. They’ll be watching so let’s just be anything but Twitchy.”

Jon headed toward the gang way when he remembered Doc’s earlier comments, “Okay Doc, you can show me what you were so concerned about. “

“On it, Cap’n,” Tess said and went back to the lift.

Jason followed in behind her and pulled the sliding doors shut. He and Tess stood in silence, and exited immediately after opening the doors to the bridge level. The bridge looked untouched, and she slid into the well worn pilot’s chair. Her hands caressed the panels as she tried to ascertain if anything had been moved. After a moment of consideration, she swiveled the chair around to look at Destiny’s gauge panel.

“Fuel cells are still warm,” Tess said to Jason as she began the power up sequence, “I’ll take us out slow and then we’ll boogey on at the edge of their short range sensors. She’ll be ready by the time you’ve made your call to those sah gwa tze fu.”

“Sounds good Tess, Just make sure that we take this nice and easy. The last thing that we need right now is for the Erikson to decide we’re being suspicious.” Jason said as he turned to the communication station powering up the transmitter and keying up the mic.

“Greenleaf control, Alliance Cruiser Erikson, this is fast courier Destiny upon successful completion of the inspection we are now resuming our previously interrupted flight plan.”

Jason switched off the microphone and waited patiently for the appropriate responses from both ground control and the cruiser.

“So Tess, what do you think our little gift from Priscilla?” Jason asked with his attention split between Tess and his earpiece.

““Sheh sheh, Erikson and Greenleaf have a nice day.” Jason replied once the appropriate clearances had been given to Destiny and Tess had started moving Destiny to safe burn distance.

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Jason --- Irish Luck "If they don't have bad...they don't have any"


As soon as Jason took his hand away from the comm, the panel lit up like a Festivus day parade.

“ATTENTION ALL SHIPS DEPARTING FROM GREENLEAF. ALL SHIPS ARE TO DELAY DEPARTURE AND PREPARE TO BE BOARDED. WE HAVE A FUGITIVE SITUATION WANTED BY FEDERAL MARSHALLS. YOU COOPERATION IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.” is the message from port authority. Then sensors show weapons lock on Destiny, and the warning klaxon sounds and the follow “hail” comes from the cruiser.

“Attention Courier vessel Destiny. This is the Erikson Alliance cruiser. Please prepare for boarding and have all personal available for questioning in the cargo bay. You have 20 seconds to power down your engines.” it is a pleasant feminine voice that delivers the message by it doesn’t change the tone.

"Nuts" Jon let out a sigh of frustration.

"Tess, power down!"

"Jason, acknowledge the hail and ask for instructions."

Jason immediately turned his head, to keep the Jon’s voice out of his transmission, reached out and keyed back up the microphone, “Erikson, this is Destiny we are powering down and preparing for boarding, over.”

Jason’s voice was calm, but then it almost always is, his thoughts were another matter. Isn’t just like the feds they show up when you least want or expect them? Then again look at our luck recently. First Priscilla gets poisoned, interesting seeing as how she’s a high class companion who works for the like Atherton Wing. Then when our luck does change with a decent job, that pays well and might just land us another job, we get ‘pulled’ over by the GORRAM FEDS! Taking a slow even breath, Jason calmed his thoughts and focused through his anger. Ratchet it down Siong! Get your crap together and get on the horn to Otello’s people, we need to let them know that we’re going to be a touch behind schedule, if everything goes right. Jason shifted over to the Cortex link on the bridge and hit ‘redial’ trying to reach Otello’s man, Decimus.

He heard Jon hit the ship’s intercom and say, “Folks we're getting company, meeting in the cargo bay....." the klaxon went off again, interrupting Jon’s broadcast, "what in the..."

Jon turned to Jason, "gimme that transmitter." Taking the transmitter, Jon hit the reply to Erikson, “Erikson, this is Destiny; we just got targeted by an unidentified source, what is going on? Are we under your protection?"


________________________________________

"Destiny. This is the Erikson. We don't..... Sorry stand by," The cruiser’s reply comes back through the speaker.

Noises in background of someone being slapped, once, twice and then a third time. The sensor on Destiny shows weapon lock disengaging and no longer on ship.

"My Apologies Destiny. The problem has been dealt with and you may rest assured that you are under our protection. (Voice behind the scene coming over the radio.) "Hudson!!!! What is your gorram problem! There are over 400 washrooms on this cruiser and you just volunteered to clean them all!"

Jon furrowed his eyebrows and keyed up the link, “Marshal Sanders? Is that you? We are powering down and will be awaiting your arrival. We picked up rush delivery of wine for the Baron Otello’s yearly social on Osiris, so whatever we can do to cooperate please let us know.” Closing the link he slapped the mike back into Jason’s hand, “Ta Ma Duh, why can’t things just go right once?”

Jason didn’t reply to the question he was busy speaking with Decimus, “I wish I could tell you it’s nice to see your face again, Decimus, but it seems we are going to be slightly delayed,” as he spoke, Jason kept his tone light and his cadence clipped, “We’ve been hailed by the Erikson, she’s an Alliance Cruiser, and they’re having us prepare for boarding. There shouldn’t be any problems but this will delay us. I’ll wave you again as soon as we get back under way, and provided they don’t delay us too long we’ll make the deadline.” As he closed the wave, Jason could hear Jon talking.

“That overstuffed Marshal is up to something. I just let all of Erikson and the verse know this ain’t the first time he’s been dog’n us and that we ain’t hiddin’ nothing. I’m hope’n a little name drop’n won’t hurt neither.”

Keying the internal comm. Jon said, "OK, everyone to the cargo bay, We're gonna play nice, but we don't know nuthin’ about nuthin’. Don't let them wander by themselves if we can help it. Maybe we can get them off the boat before they cost us our payday."

Turning to Jason and Tess,“Alright, let’s get to the cargo bay, if he brings that same crew watch that buff belly Hudson, he may not be as stupid as he acts, but then it might not be an act.”

Jason removed his headset and stood heading towards the passage. While doing so he keyed his person transmitter hoping to catch Ken and that the Fed’s wouldn’t notice such a low level transmission, “Ken, this is Jason, what did you, Doc, and Grace find?”

“So much for not going full burn,” Tess sighed as she, Jon, and Jason made their way down to the cargo bay, “At this rate, we ain’t gonna be able to avoid it.”

“I just hope that we can make the deadline,” Jason broke in responding to Grace’s statement, “We can always use the extra money that I got for the tariffs to make up the fuel cost.”

Jason walked with his attention focused on both his micro-transmitter and the conversation around him.

“Good of you t’ mention the Baron, Cap’n,” Tess commented, looking to Jon as they stepped into the lift, “Let’s just hope it’ll do us some good with that preening zhu toh zhu nao marshal. Of course it might’n if we don’t deliver on time.”

“Don’t worry too much about Otello, I got a wave off to his man, Decimus, while the Captain was dealing with the Feds,” Jason continued holding up his hand with his first fingers crossed, “Just keep your finger crossed that these hou don’t delay us too long.”

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Jason -- We're about to put the hammer down...


"Jason give'um the old general departure broadcast like, Cargo Boat Destiny, departing Greenleaf Atmo, preparing for max burn."

"Tess as soon as he's says the last word give'r hell and let's scoot."

"That should sound normal and we're off! That won't look like we hiding anything and should not raise suspicions."

"It's only being polite on popular planet were the rich and famous come to play."

"If they want us then they'll have to send an ASREV to catch us and that's fewer Feds to have to deal with."

"Doc, be with you in minute."

"Ken if you're finished cleaning the cargo bay you go to see what's up, call Grace on your way." Jon rattled off his orders in quick succession.

“Yeah sure….” Ken yelled back to Jon as he continued with Doc down the corridor pausing to use the ship’s intercom to call Grace and have her meet them.

“Sir,” Tess began, and pointed at the Alliance cruiser on the small screen, “that there beauty could blow us out of the sky if she wanted. No sights trained on us yet, but they might be itch’n if we jump the gun. And if they can’t get a lock on us, those Tohoku-class ships come equip with some pretty fast lil short rangers.

“Now, I ain’t sayin’ I can’t get us away,” she continued, sitting up from the back of her pilot’s chair, “ what I am saying is if we don’t have to get away, it’d be preferable. Running full tilt boogey is a bit suspicious, especially after just departin a ‘popular planet were the rich and famous come to play.’ After Jason’s little talk, let’s leave quickly, but not that quickly.”

She motioned her hands towards Jon, “Of course, Cap’n, if you want me to go full burn, I will. I’m just suggestion we might wait a little. Especially with whatever Steph's found, mighten be prudent.”

Jon looked around the bridge, and saw the questions lingering in Jason and Tess’s eyes.

“They haven’t hailed us so Jason make the broadcast, Tess the helm is yours we have a delivery to make,” Jon ordered in a crisp tone.

“Mei Wen Ti Captain,” Jason replied turning to the Comm station and keying it up to send out the waveWhat the hell in for a penny…, “Port Authority this is fast courier Destiny, we are breaking orbit and entering our burn cycle now as per our flight plan,” Jason smiled and continued, “Sheh sheh Greenleaf control and have a nice day.”

As he completed his call to Greenleaf control he turned back to Tess, “Well Tess, that’s the call I guess that now we’re in your most capable of hands,” Jason said with a wry grin recalling some of Grace’s previous stunts.


((OOC: I’m figuring that we’ll be cleared by Greenleaf’s port authority to leave as we have….never mind just see my last Q&A post for my reasoning on that one. I think I’ve explained myself well enough there.))

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA
Subject: The Plan...



So, here's what I know:

1) Destiny has been cleared by the Port Authorities and has a filed Flight plan...so even if we run the Alliance will know where we are headed.

2) We aren't doing anything ILLEGAL.

3) The Feds haven't hailed us or moved to intercept us.

4) Grace said she covered her 'tracks' so to speak so they shouldn't know they've been messed with and even if they do they shouldn't know who did the messing.

5) The cruiser could blow us out of the black with little or no problem.

6) The cruiser's gun ships are fast enough to catch us even if we run.

The facts lead me to believe that we should stick to our flight plan and stay calm. If you guys would like Jason can even get on the horn and try to make sure everything is green before we go to burn as per our flight plan. That being said...if we rabbit they'll either have to chase us or they might see it as a reason to take aggressive action...I'd rather not die in a space battle that could possibly be avoided.

I'm sure that we could get'em if we just replaced ourselves with three better lookin' guys.



Name: Grom
Race: Shull
Height: 3’ 9”

Grom, is a Shull’s Shull, and takes pains to keep it that way. Once when asked by another male of the tribe why he volunteer for every scouting mission that came up, Grom replied, “Grom, want mate and little Grom’s running round. Grom, no get mate unless Grom works hard…after all me knows Grom UGLY! How else Grom get lady!?”




Al,

This is what I came up with for the moment...I didn't even attempt to go into skills or any of that Jazz let me know if you want more or anything else.

Merci,

Phelan

Subject: Shull we dance...



I know, I know these bad pun intro's have to...anyway, this looks like a blast and I could definitely see my me in this game...if you'll have me. As the title indicates I would like to play a Shull. I will work on a backround/name and send it to you or post it (how ever you'd prefer). Just let me know one way or the other.
