Is that you're very dry sense of humor or are you being serious?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I guess I'll find out when John does, or doesn't, die.



Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

You're making me paranoid


It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap!!!

Dopey?

Sneaky?

Silly?

Bloody?

My hats off to you, Mr. Roger. That was an excellent puzzle you pieced together, and an epic method of storytelling. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone's posts and participation, but Roger...that last bit reminded me why we used to have a writers group.

Epic post Alacrity, they should make a short film for that because it just looks awesome playing through my mind!

What a wonderful post there Alacrity! It was running through my head like a movie and I must say it was most enjoyable.

Bad@$$ like a unicorn! I loved it!

Glad you all liked it. I think it was a good chance to get the new people working with the original members. So post any additions to the scene, as always if I posted conversation you may change it to suit your character. I will do a wrap up post once you have all posted and move us into the next adventure. Hauling foodstuff to an orphanage - what could possibly go wrong?

Is that like the Top Gear saying "How hard can it be?"

The similarity meaning both phrases are jinxes marking the activity to almost certain failure.

But seriously, great post!

In my upcoming post, there will be a space of three months between the events of this mini adventure and the next one. In that time the Rocinante and crew will do a few jobs, but none are lucrative and they pay the bills mostly. If you want your character to do anything particular during that time, please let me know.

I will be "upgrading" Rocinante through my post. I want to increase the Intelligence of the ship through new sensors. This will come via a package to Tess from "Grace".

Loved reading it. But I'm hoping you'll maybe finally update our character sheets to the changes and added skill dice we got from completing the last adventure.

Again great post, why I only play in your games anymore.

I may some some time tonight to do the characters sheets.

Seeing as you've mentioned it, John is going to want to give all of Rocinante's systems a check over and fine-tuning. Not the type of thing that would amount to an upgrade but he will be checking everything from the non-vital stuff right up to and including the life support systems. He won't do it all at the same time, but over the 3 months he'll work his way around the ship.

Also, if there is the chance to, John will pick up his old hobby again.

I have updated Wyatt, Asher and Wolf so far. Takes a lot more time than I thought.

A bit on the Cortex as it will come into play in the next game.The Cortex is a complex interplanetary computer network comprised of nodes and access points (think massive Internet). An IdentCard was typically required to use the Cortex, and all activities were monitored to some degree. A private link was available to the wealthy via a dedicated source box, and public access was available in a pay by the minute scheme. The Cortex could also be accessed by a ship's computer or by a personal encyclopedia.

People were also known to connect to the Cortex illegally, co-opting someone's account or hacking into a public terminal with false credentials or using a "black box" terminal.

It was possible to locate someone within a ship's orbit via node tracking—but from there, unless they were using landlines to connect, it was very difficult to pinpoint someone's location with only a Cortex trace.

Wave communication is done ia the cortex (like a giant Skype). Radio transmission from ship to ship or ship to planet without Cortex depends on power of antenna, receiver and transmission.
