Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: A Shared feeling
As Miss Willow, the Cap’n and he finally reached the Rocinante they all could not help but see a girl, tears in her eyes, running down the loading ramp and away from the interior of the ship. Fenris knew right away it was one of the Kovak girls, most likely Linda, as she was always looking to get off planet wanted to travel the stars be a singer or something like that she had told Fenris quite often.
As he watched her run away his heart went out to her as before he had, had word of the Rocinante coming and its need for a new engineer he too desperately wanted off this rock. Maybe later before they lifted he would talk to Wyatt about helping grant her wish, but for now his prioties were to meet the rest of the crew, check his new babies and get settled in his bunk.
There would be enough time later to talk of other things....

Olan in your newest post you said nothing about the status of our two troopers back on guard duty.
I had specifically on Brom's orders called them for a sit rap.
Thanks

Subject: I agree w/Brom
From what little I have seen of 4th Edition it makes me so damn sad and angry that they took something I love and turned it into absolute crap.
All I can say is never fear, 2e will always be here.

Topic: Cerebral Paradox - Mature Content
Subject: A Strange question asked
The Red Lantern– Upper East Side – March, Friday 13th, 2020, 12,12pm
“What you say MDK is on target, we do need as much info as possible on the Target as I asked earlier, especially the security. But in that we may have a problem as Preacher has said their sec plans are most likely in a datafortress and Preacher is the only Netrunner we have available. But like he said it’s a tough run and he may not be up to it after being so long away.”
As soon as the words had left his mouth Croaker realized just how antagonistic they sounded even to his ears. As he started to explain the true meaning of his words he was beaten to the punch once again by Preacher’s reply.
With a clearly unfunny smile the solo ex-Netrunner spoke.
“Ya know back in the Day there was this here gamin’ system. Nothin’ like the VR and holo programming we have nowadays, but suh-weeeeet nonetheless. Game paddles, played right on the tellie, the works. I was so damn hot for that thing—I played it hours on end. Near lost my sight staring at that screen so long. Worked that paddle for years without change, an’ then one day I found I had to grow up, get some work, and get serious about life. Well, I went back to it a couple years back for nostalgia purposes an’ all those memories of how good I was just melted away as I was beat on these little, ol’ console games by a non-AI controlled computer over an’ over again. Guess it ain’t just like ridin’ a bike, ya know.”
Preacher’s false grin faded away as he turned his gaze to meet the big Nomad’s with eyes that could bore right through his head as fast as a .44 round.
“It’d be jus’ like that should I try t’ take on the Net, Choomba. It’d make short work o’ me an’ then you’d be down another gun. That was providin’ I was willin’ to break the oath I made to people I cared about a whole helluvah lot more than you in order t’ attempt it.”
Preacher then shifted in his chair a bit and settled back against the rest, taking his hat in hand by the crown and tipping it forward and to the side just a bit so he effectively blocked Croaker from view.
Turning to the cowboy, Croaker made sure he had Preacher’s attention
“Look Preacher lets get what I said, not how I said it, straight, you made it very clear you did not want to go on the net any longer and that you did not have the skill to make a run on Biotechnia’s Datafortress. All I did with my words was reiterate that sentiment but I agree that my words sounded more as an insult then just restating what you had said.
For that I apologize and I’m sorry my blunt words come out a lot like insults, believe me or not, but I do mean the apology.”
“Well,” Bull’s Eye offered from his position next to Croaker. “I’m bettin’ that our best course lies in getting some visual intel. Now I’m not a member of no family council, but should my vote count: that’s what I vote for. Get a couple of us who are decent at that kind of work close enough that the hike wouldn’t be too terrible, and see what we see.”
“I don’t see any other way around this,” Firewind agreed, though his head was lowered and his eyes were on the table. “We either go in blind, or do what MDK has suggested.”
It was at that point that Lightning seemed to perk up. “Um…sorry, I was checking out the camera system. One of you said something about a piece of hardware that could jam radar? Sure, I could make something like that…if I had a couple thousand Euro in parts and a few days time.
“If we’re talking a Megacorp facility here you’re likely going to have to deal with high tech security measures: drones, bots, radar, electronic card locks, cameras—infrared, lowlite, and maybe even thermograph—not to mention the likelihood of cyberpets on the m-sec force.
“This should be a blast…” the tech’s smile was genuine as his eyes caught sight of another piece of particularly interesting technology and his attention faded.
“Beautiful,” Bull’s Eye growled while staring ruefully at the techie. “Who’s bright idea was it to bring Killjoy along?”
“If what he says is true, we’ll be needing him before long,” Keahi observed while thoughtfully staring down the table at his counterpart.
“All right,” Frankie sighed as he too settled back in his chair. “I vote we take the action laid out by Guardian and MDK as well—of course, I’d just make a helluvah lot of noise, so I’m out of the recon end of things.”
“Me too,” Firewind added quickly.
“Not so good at it myself,” Lightning offered up in a distant voice, surprising Scribe as he’d thought the man had pretty much checked out.
“Well, I’m no pathfinder, but I can at least be the wheelman provided we procure ourselves a vehicle,” Bull’s Eye offered.
“Unfortunately like Bull’s Eye I too am not the quiet type so that leaves me out of any stealth type op. But if Spiff can get that rifle he showed us earlier, or something close, I could do long range cover as I am very good with those.” Croaker offered in trade for his lack of stealth skills.
As he awaited the next to speak up it was once again MDK but with a question he had asked before but Croaker had overlooked thinking MDK would have been briefed before hand by Jack.
“You never did answer my question, boss, I asked what is our objective? Why is this place important? What is it we are after in there? That kind of stuff ‘might’ be important to 'some' of us.”
Suspicion once again returned Croaker tensed up and asked MDK a question of his own.
“Ok, consider me confused didn’t Spring Heeled Jack brief you on our mission, target, or the reasons behind all this?”

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Not one of my best
With the end of the fight Malius found himself on guard as he was unable to offer the aid of healing to any but himself, and he had been lucky this fight to not receive any wounds.
His attention drawn to that of his small companions as they moved around inside his inner clothing he opened his armor to once more let them out, checking each for harm.
With that done he began a slow systematic search of the surrounding area, while at the same time using this search as an excuse to move closer to the Bladesinger Elessarae as he helped the others in the party with healing.
Upon catching her eye he bowed his head as to acknowledge her and moved to stand near to her though he did not speak, not knowing really what to say. He had realized during the fight that somewhere since the two’s first meeting feelings of some sort had arisen, though Malius did not call it love but somehow maybe a new closeness.
For now he would remain quiet about this ’new’ feeling and go on with the mission at hand the group yet had the Chakran Mountains to seek out..........

Topic: What is your Favorite Character Class and Why?
Subject: 2nd edition ranger
That is and always will be my favorite class and AD&D Edition
3e stinks, 3.5e is a joke and from what I have heard 4e is worse then 3e and 3.5e combined. Thank God for online games as the only one who needs to know the last 3 editions after 2e is the DM.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Unsure of what to post
With the last effort of the tree to defend itself a failure Malius found himself standing looking around very much for the moment indecisive. With the two lizards dead, the vines not constricting anybody and the tree for all intents defeated, standing with an arrow possibly not needed in hand he felt almost the fool. Yet he justified his present stance as being on guard as all who could heal were doing so.
There was no telling if more creatures were yet lurking awaiting the chance to attack if any did so Malius would be ready.......

Subject: Sec Info hmmmm did I not ask for that earlier LOL
The Red Lantern– Upper East Side – March, Friday 13th, 2020, 12,11pm
Croaker leaned back in the chair and put forth the question
“So anyone got any other thoughts, what’s your take on this Peacekeeper?”
Nodding to him with a faint smile Peacekeeper spoke
"We can't be suspected should we be forced to share the roads to approach our destination. Perhaps have two on the path enjoying the view, perhaps with a camera, dressed as an elderly couple when people approach, and have the rest scouting the nearby area. Take the woodlands around the path as far as they can, and once we get close enough to the base, we'll meet up at a point in the road and the scouts can tell us what they see."
Before Croaker could reply it was MDK who spoke up.
“If I may offer my thoughts”
“Feel free” Croaker told him as he wanted to hear what the assassin had to say.
“One we need to know what kind of security we are dealing with here. Is there anything on this approach road, patrols, cameras, motion sensors, etc. What about the woodlands surrounding the place how is it guarded? Personally I would like to know what our objective is here. I may have came in after this was brought up but it would be glad to know what I am risking my life for this time.“
“Now if there security is confined to the immediate vicinity of the grounds and buildings,” he continued looking again at the map, “I believe Peacekeepers plan has some merit, with modifications. I and maybe someone else can slip in through the woods and scout out the place without getting too close. Then report back and get a more definitive plan together. But I like her plan that two people, maybe Croaker and Peacekeeper approach in a car up the road to the buildings as if they came up this road by mistake. The rest of us could have been dropped up further back up the road and approach on foot.”
A pause and a look back up at the group MDK continued
“Of course the two in the car wouldn’t approach the house until the rest of us were in a position to attack and then at Croaker’s signal, like the first shot fired or something, we assault the place taking out all opposition.”
“Well?” MDK asked, then downed the last of his scotch.
At first Croaker wanted to laugh, had he not just asked Spiff, Scribe, and Preacher for the same thing, to get as much info as possible including plans of the sec covering the target. But for once he refrained for doing so as maybe Spiff would listen to MDK and do as Croaker had asked him earlier. Instead he chose to use another tactic hoping he was not about to alienate another possible friend.
“What you say MDK is on target, we do need as much info as possible on the Target as I asked earlier, especially the security. But in that we may have a problem as Preacher has said their sec plans are most likely in a datafortress and Preacher is the only Netrunner we have available. But like he said its a tough run and he may not be up to it after being so long away.”
Not looking at Preacher he only hoped the Solo, Ex-netrunner would not hate him too much for the comment. But as he was their only hacker Croaker had to convince him somehow to try the run, or at the very least, check out the ICE covering the datafortress.
Once they had that maybe, just maybe, Spiff or Jack could find a Runner who could break in. For now all the people at the table, with the possible exception of MDK and Lighting, had was a growing sense of mistrust, uneasiness and the growing doubt of survival...........

Subject: I disagree LOL
Remember the other Cylons DO NOT know who the last 5 are so there is no way she was placed there in a planned move.
If she is a toaster not even she knows it at this time I think.

Topic: Final Season of Battlestar
Subject: Not Baltar
He's too obivious, Baltar see's Six as he has for the most part lost the rational part of his mind and whenever he's faced with a decision or a choice he looks to his memory of her, which is manifested as a vision, to help make his choice. As you have seen he is now seeing himself because he is being worshiped as a semi-god and he is locking on that to make his decisions.
As for the 12th Cylon well I thoight Starbuck at one point but that also is too obivious.
The Prez is a good choice but yet she is supposedly dying so there is a question there, does she know and has she been lying the whole time, I think not.
My 2nd guess would be the Doctor as he is old enough to be the first Cylon human looking model but he has not played such a major role as to have the shock of discovery that the fans like me expect.
For now I am unsure who it is so time will tell .
