That's great, Flirt. Looking forward to really being able to get this ball bouncing seeing how you aren't even half way through the adventure yet.

Cat fight anyone?
I'm really tempted to try for a second character now that I'm bringing the contract I've been working on to a close--this one aboard the Cerberus. I have a CMO in mind.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Luck in its various packages.
Wyatt had said his piece already. Sam was more the type for witty banter. The captain of Rocinante was now standing ready to react in a most judicious way, though he'd yet to draw his weapon, when the girl let fly with those beautiful kicks. Still, the only thing to escape Wyatt's mouth at that point was an appreciative whistle despite the comical nature of the event.
Luck had removed her from the immediate equation.
When Wolf arrived, Wyatt offered a nod of recognition, but quickly returned his attention back to the thugs.
Luck had seen fit to show their replacement mechanic just where to encounter them and at just the right time.
That's when the Tong showed. Now Wyatt was unsure as of yet whether this was the Luck of Three playing out to their benefit, or if they'd just used up their last shiny penny, and since Willow had already engaged them in conversation, the Captain offered a simple, murmured, "We got the chance for one solid to bring us full circle and start the cycle over, Sam." Then he waited on the answer to Willow's question, his hand hovering near the Colt.

Topic: A Cold Day in Hell
Subject: Try number two.
Monty made sure to catch Kane in a place where low tones wouldn't carry to the others after everyone had settled in to their scheduled watch. It wouldn't be an uncommon thing for the officer and NCO of a squad to discuss tactics without everyone else present, so Lt. Kernan didn't think anyone would think twice about the meeting. Truth was, that Monty had more than just tactics on his mind.
"We kinda got off on the wrong foot, Sarge. Gotta love these quick team assemblies: no one get's real comfortable with the ways of their CO in a few hours, especially when that CO expects you to read minds.
"So, here it is, Kane. I think you are doing a fine job. A more regulated Staff Sergeant couldn't be found. However, there are a couple of things I'd like you to keep in mind when going' about your business. The first being that I expect all able-bodied personnel to participate in all aspects of team responsibilities when viable. In other words, if they have a skillset better suited for something other that digging trenches that needs their attention at the moment, they don't dig trenches; otherwise I don't care if its me on watch, or the private, each pulls their own weight.
"Second was that I wanted you to know about this deviation in plans before I announce it to therest of the squad..." Monty proceeded to inform Kane of his decision to nix searching the rest of the facility in favor of heading straight for the observatory due to the blood trail. "Get on the radio and call the situation in as we've found it before you hit the sack."
(OOC: Room for backposting if any conversation is necessary.)
When Monty awoke and took part in the devouringof the MRE alongside his team, the Lieutenant used that time to inform everyone of the change in plans. This time, as they prepared to move out, Kernan found he couldn't really couldn't justify taking a point position. So, he allowed Kane to set the rank and file and then the squad devoured the halls between them and the observatory arriving at the point where the blood smears ended. Here Lt. Kernan ordered a halt long enough to make sure they weren't going to end up with their heads cut off by some laser wire, step on some pressure plate that activated a quantum leap, or some other strange, science fiction disaster. When everything proved to be safe to the eye he ordered them on through the doors. Shortly thereafter the bullets started to fly.
Kane made the quick order that took the team out of immediate danger and While the commentary continued amongst his troops Kernan desperately wished they'd been outfitted with something as rudimentary as a flash bang.
"U.S. Army personnel. Stand down. I repeat; lay down your arms, you are firing on friendlies. Army ranger squad (insert designation) deployed for your assistance!"
Monty switched to team radio, "If this get's ugly we do not shoot to kill. Understood?"

Subject: Would that it were that easy.
The iPhone has a touch pad keyboard that is very difficult to thumb. I'm relegated to one finger and though I can go fairly fast, am more prone to errors. Not to mention I never did like the Safari browser and that's what you're forced to use with the thing. Oh well. Still a cool little gizmo.
Anyway, I am two pages from being finished with this comic book (art at least) and then I just have to plug in the text and barring any revisions, I'm done! Then it is life as usual again.

I'd created it on my iPhone while away from my computer as I had some down time. I went to check something in the QA Thread and the phone erased everything I'd written. Half hour worth of one-finger typing down the drain. I'll have to try and recreate it tomorrow. Sorry.

Topic: Star Trek: Operation:Persephone - Q&A
Subject: More info on the Charon
Gavison runs as much of a skeletal crew as makes sense for optimal operation. He's combined TAC and security in order to eliminate any possibility of back 'n forth during critical moments. It is possible that some see him as being suicidal, but he's done his best to clear the crew of naysayers, outfitting the Charon solely with volunteer transfers where possible and taking SF assignments to his staff in stride the best he can though they've never lasted long. I don't want to paint the picture of invulnerability, more like that of a Viking ship where everyone knows they go off to die, make it to Valhalla, and sing drinking songs with a buxom wench on each knee.

Subject: Right there with you Grugg
OK, since Kernan didn't express his preference while giving Kane the orders I'll allow that Kane acted as best prescribed by military protocol. However, Kernan is a participating officer as described before, so he'll likely calmly and kindly address this issue with Kane in private and instruct him to include all officers and NCOs, etc. in these decisions.

Seriously... every time my wife was "ready" we'd either go for a seriously long walk (fast paced), or we'd find the bumpiest road we could (not hard here in Utah) and drive along it until she was calling out for mercy. Baby was born that night, every time.

Topic: Star Trek: Operation:Persephone - Q&A
Subject: Charon's location and disposition
If you'd like to post as a character of the Charon (and your character concept has been approved, of course) you are more than welcome to. Keep in mind the following:
1. The Charon has just been through a battle with Dominion forces and it did not go well. As such, the Charon is back in dock at DS-9 for repairs and will be (conveniently enough) until roughly the time that the Cerberus arrives.
2. You can post aboard the Charon, overseeing repairs associated with your responsibilities while DS-9 and Charon staff go about them, or...
3. You can post aboard DS-9 while off-duty, or...
4. You can post aboard the Charon while off-duty, while...
5. Any reference concerning Captain Gavison should be done with his exceptionally foul mood in mind. He's generally in a bad mood, but this one is particularly foul, and...
6. It is highly possible that the crew of the Charon has developed an overgrown sense of "elitness" as Captain Gavison has volunteered the ship for just about every dangerous mission he could find and so far, they've survived if a little worse for wear... so far.
Oh, and posting will be in the same thread, just title the header with the Charon instead of the Cerberus and we should be OK.

Subject: for future reference.
Kernan is a participating officer, and expects all able-body members of the squad to contribute. If it came right down to it he'd dig the latrines provided it made sense and his other skills weren't needed elsewhere (yes, I did refer to latrines digging as a skill). I'll likely have Kernan ammend the watch schedule to give the wounded more downtime.

Subject: It is.
The Charon is recruiting (look Ma! I spelled it correctly this time!) though I probably won't be able to review things in much detail for a while due to workload. Just keep in mind that where the Cerberus has a new crew under a new captain, the Charon has been together through a number of battles and will actually start the game in for repairs at DS-9.

I've just procured every Star Trek RPG book I could find and not one has floorplans for either class. There's a couple of close constructs, and maybe when I finish this insane art project I'll use those to come up with some for us.
Hey, how did Mac wind up with the bigger ship?

Topic: A Cold Day in Hell
Subject: Update
Lt. Keenan was not at all happy with the way things were going thus far. Two Rangers wounded, cold fatiguelikely setting in, and some high-tech killing machine hanging out in the shadows. Then there was the report from Fire Team B concerning the radioactive materials in the canisters, and the bloodsoaked room and the trail leading off to the observatory. That was just spooky. These thoughts filled his head while the empty hall filled his vision.
Stepping into the foyer Monty was relieved to be met be Fire Team B, and while Kane approached the lieutenant watched to make sure that the doors were covered.
"Orders, Sir?" asked Sgt. Kane.
"Make sure we're properly covered while Johannsen patches those two up. Then I think we'll dig in for a few hours and see what strength we can recover. I believe the bunks'll do just fine for that.
"Set up the watch schedule, Staff Sergeant. As soon as we're able we'llmove out."
After the medic had done her thing Fire Team A will lead the squad to the bunks moving cautiously, but not wasting time. Six hours down time, fiften minutes for MREs, and then Kernan will fill Fire Team B in on the blood trail and his intention to take the squad to the observatory where he believes the answers will start coming.

Subject: Star Trek: Charon Staff Fulfillment
This is not for a new game. This is, in fact, for the Flight of the Cerberus game that Eol is running--a Star Trek "Free Form" that is currently getting started. The Charon is a Saber Class starship captained by Kelsey Gavison, previously the XO for the Discovery (another Star Trek game currently on hiatus). Will need positions for everyone except the Captain and XO. Keep in mind that this crew has been together for some time, they are not a new crew. They've experienced space battles with the Dominion, and until recently, even the Romulans as Dominion allies. They are experienced, and this is a warship.

Topic: Cerebral Paradox - Cyberpunk 2020
Subject: Its been pointed out...
I left Firewind out of the lineup, and there's some confusion on who's doing what. Quite simply, nothing has been decided in stone yet. DigitalScribe has suggested the following (adding Firewind in):
Jack and Piper go do what they need to do in order to clean things up a bit for all involved.
DigitalScribe and Guardian hit the media option.
Peacekeeper, Croaker, Preacher, and Firewind go take care of that dangerous little Biotechnica Lab operation.
Spiff and Bull's Eye handle the meet.
Medical care from Firewind hasn't been taken care of yet as you haven't really had all that much time to do so, and outfitting yourselves with new and improved gear or additional ammo, etc. in preparation for this meeting isn't likely since you'd have to leave the University in ten minutes just to make the meet on time.
Keep in mind, this is a suggestion from an NPC, and that doesn't necessarily mean that it is the correct thing to do, but it doesn't mean that it isn't either. NPCs in my games make mistakes just like everyone. Time is running out however...

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Is it me, or you, Dash, that finds trouble so easily?
Wyatt sighed heavy-like and gave Willow another pat on the arm at the altercation taking place before them. "Best be fading' t' one side 'r the other Willow." His tone was dry and tired. If there was one thing that got his goat more than anything it was the mistreatment of good people. In this case good people meant the ones being picked on.
Once Willow had moved aside, or before any harm could come to the girl, Wyatt says, "Ain't it something', Sam, how it don't matter what piece I' dirt we settle on there're always low down, mangy rats that need exterminatin'?"
And if that ain't enough to draw their attention away from the old man and the girl, Wyatt'll say, "Hey! Ugly! Lay off or I'll break ya."
(OOC: Likely a trap, so Wyatt's ready to draw quick if necessary. He'll try not to kill anyone if he can avoid it, but he's not about to let things get out of hand.)

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Hmm.
It was something he was only too familiar with; pretending Willow was more than attached to his arm as they made heir way through a rough portion of this city, that bordertown, or the rare Alliance outpost. There was nothing sexual about their play either. Wyatt Sung was a man still very much in love with his dead wife and more than slightly devoted to the marriage they'd once shared. His nod of acceptance and the pat he placed on the hand Willow rested on his arm was warm, like that of an older brother. Where Sam joked about sexual relations with the doctor and Ash lkely dreamt about them, Wyatt's attention was solely that of a protective older brother. Right then, the protective older brother's role meant keeping others from thinking the beautiful little Asian available for debasing catcalls, commentary, and most of all: unwanted advances. They played the content couple so well that they were often mistaken for having been married for years when their charade was in action.
This, of course, did not mean that Captain Sung did not present the image of a dangerous man as he calmly strolled down the dirty street with a beauty on his arm and a hired gun at his side. He was armed for bear, carried himself confidently and assuredly, while the look in his eye that spoke promises of a very violent end should the observer be so bold as to interfere with their progress kept people at bay (hopefully).
