Loki - you may find solace and comradeship with Tann on the "Alacrity has no sense of humour" front. He has been telling me that for years. I do have a sense of humour but it is dry, very dry, maybe too dry. For example, my last post was written to be humourous.
Yoohoo? Celeste? You out there? Ship needs a pilot, game needs a post.

Your GM has zippo tolerance for pranks and foolery that does not enhance the game (I've killed for puns)

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: Ok
In my rolling for the current scene, Asher got a serious botch for the disconnect of the pulse beacon. So he has pulled the wrong power and shut down the co-pilot console. This is what makes for good role playing, adversity in the face of missiles.

The "wait for others" to post really bugs me as a GM. I will tell you wahat happens I promise. If you say you are running left and Asher runs right, let me decide if you collide or pass each other. Online gaming requires some faith in the GM and I think I can be trusted (even if I do produce twitchy players)
You have missiles flying at your ship, you wouldn't stand around and wait to see what others can do. John can do a number of things right now from hard to easy.
Come up with a fancy tech way of producing a fireball (If I shunt the power to the fuel cells and release the fuel into the turbine, we could create a high intensity fireball....)
Try to shut down the ASREV with Unification War codes
Dump the sanitation tanks to see if the water and waste will foul up the missiles.
Try to boost the sensors so Tess can find a heat source to distract the missiles
Try to tap into ASREV comm-link to listen in, find out who is trying to kill you which might make the decision on what to do
Toss Jayne out the airlock
Either way, you don't need to wait for others to post. If you have a question or need clarification, PM me. Tann something sends me a list of questions and I don't mind.

You cannot all wait for each other to post. If you all wait then no one posts. If no one posts, I get sad. I then think that no one loves the game and therefore I am unloved too. If I am unloved then I am not gonna play games here anymore. I will shave my head, leave my family, wander the roads of North America as a broken man.
All because you wanted to wait to post. Do you want to risk that?

Yes I know I need to update characters on the character thread but I have not had the liberty or free time as of yet and I figure you'd prefer if I post what was going on first.
BTW2 - I will be letting Teller of Aryn play a character in the next campaign who, may or may not assist or interfere with the crew of the Rocinante. Sorry to be vague but this is a bit of an experiment with multiple plot lines.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: flares and chaff
The flares and chaff used in miltary are specifically designed for counter measures and a flare gun would not work. Looking for a heat source, check the sensors! Maybe John can boost their effectiveness somehow? I hear that someone has a bbq pit going right now that a number of fatty pigs fell into as a transport blew by. Maybe you can find it, cut the engines as you glide over ...
or
You do have decoy missiles as well.
or
Asher has a case or two of grenades.
or
You could do a steep climb, go to hard burn while still in atmo and cause a fireball of thrust matter that could/might destroy the missiles and put you in the black but could burn out your engines and leave you sitting ducks.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: alliance stuff
Not sure if ASREV is really an alliance only term. As to John being on the other side of the war, so was Sam but no one said anything. So it is up to players if they want to make an issue but John certain just helped them immensely. Wolf, Tess, Asher and Willow all did not fight in the war.
I have left it up to Asher and Wolf to shut down the Pulse beacon. It means they can't use that to lock on you again but it also means if local authorities come to check out the explosions, they are less likely to trace you.
So you might want to look for a strong heatsource to distract the new missiles. the robot culivators are not hot enough and spread over too big of an area.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG Subject: War is over son.
Two missiles flew towards Rocinante, their systems locked on the pulse beacon of the ship. For Tess. this was no longer a simulation - it was a trip down memory lane. missiles are fast and accurate, but they can't turn quickly or adjust course on the fly. the key to avoiding the missiles was to make sudden and rapid changes in her flight. She was doing a lot of what gator was just showing but her hands flew across the controls and compensated for the changes so the replays and engines kept on flying.
John moved to the co-pilot station without asking permission and began to type into the computer system. "“It’s black market, probably damaged from the war. Push it and something might break.” he said out loud as he quickly typed. He called them engine room from the comm, “Asrev’s got missile lock, disable the pulse beacon.”
he typed into the system the algorithm that he used during the war when he was going into a battle zone. missiles would often fly and friendly fire was a big risk for a medical Evac crew. John learned how to disable missiles quickly. But the auto destruct wasn't working.
(Assuming something about "of course, first thing they change!")
He changed the tactic and tapped into the nav -comm to boost his signal and then used a sweeping multi-frequency burst that should confuse the guidance system. Tess and Wyatt could see everything he was doing on her screen but she was too focused on the flying to make a comment. The captain was putting his faith in them at this moment.
Willow and Trish ran from the kitchen and went to opposite shuttles to begin the pre-flight warm ups so the shuttles could fly at a moment's notice. It was what they drilled and the drills helped but fear held each lady's heart.
In the engine room , Wolf hear Tess on the comm, “Hope you boys is ready down in engineerin’. Things might’n be gittin’ a little dicey.”
Dicey, what the Wuh duh ma huh ta duh fung-kwong duh wai-shung doh did she mean by dicey? he thought but then the ship started to turn and bank. Not like before with gator, but controlled and calm, even at the high speed. No fear of relays blowing in this lady's hands.
Ash came running into the engine room. Wolf knew it was bad whatever was going on.
“You tell me what you need.” Asher asked.
“I have no idea what I need, what the guay is going on?”
“Asrev’s got missile lock, disable the pulse beacon.” John Ryan's voice came over the comm as if he had heard the question.
Asher was confused at first but the realized that Wolf had not been on the ship long and had very little ship experience before hand. No wonder he was confused
(assuming Asher will say something about Kora put a shunt in on the Pulse beacon. it is on the far port control panel)
Just as the Tess was running out of tricks and the missiles were getting dangerously close, their engines sputtered and they started to lose altitude. The klaxxons stopped as the two tin-birds fell downwards towards the fields.
On the ground, two robot culivators were heading back to the farm, the hoppers full to the brim with dreamdrowse plants picked at the height of their cycle. The two robots had just completed harvesting the fields when all of the sudden, two missile fell from the sky and zoned in on them. Both exploded with a huge cacophony of impact and explosive might that completed destroyed the robots, and about 6 million credits worth of dreamdrowse, based on current street value.
(assuming some cheering in the cockpit)
John smiled as the missiles fell to the ground and exploded without harming the ship. But a look between him and Tess confirmed they were both thinking the same thing. They won't make the same mistake twice"
Sure enough the display lit up that two more missiles were being fired by the ASREV. They would most likely be heatseekers, and locked on to the engines. The danger was not over yet.
