Did someone post to the qna?

If I'm to post I kind of need to know at what point Catie stopped/got interrupted before things played out. I don't have much indication of where Catie is in this mix now. Might be a case of TMC - too many characters in one place.

There was an indicator that Ody posted, but he may have deleted the post and caused the forum glitch of the blank last page

Catie is basically standing by Lilianna and allowing her to talk. You had not posted in awhile and I decided to move the game forward.

In the last update (Target Neutralized) there was no mention or reference of Catie at all. My presumption was that because it seemed a reactionary post, it wasn't calling for a change of direction from Catie.

I see her mentioned now though in the most recent update. Missed it the first time I read since it was in the middle of the sentence. That's all I needed, now I can visualize it fully.

It was I that posted in QNA and then deleted it. I meant to post in Roc. It was time to leave work so I thought I'd catch up later.

Sorry!

Well Reralae this could be a good place to step in as negotiator. Time to redirect the plan, look for the benefit to all. How can you turn this to our advantage.

We risk a lot going against Badger, the Baron and Steele. We need a classic "Sting" idea to get everyone what they want and still keep living.

So maybe a shift in attitude to business woman is called for.

In the update before this one, Angela took out a bodyguard in 18 seconds. I assumed most people would be stunned by this and did not put in any other characters movement.

This game is supposed to work on weekly posting. I am lucky to get monthly. At current rates we will get to the yacht next year. So I will post the game forward as soon as there is a quorum and I have the time to write 5 pages of dialogue. I realize we are all dealing with real life so I don't get upset when someone doesn't post once and awhile. But please keep in mind that I do a lot of work for these games and I want them to keep moving.

We haven't had a post from Catie since before Liliana dropped the dish and started crying, so you haven't given the DM anything to work with. The "target neutralized' post was based on people's stated actions and npcs.

You're lucky - Alacrity has been known to assume hilariously embarrassing actions when people go silent too long

Asante has more to add to your .... excitement but this was a good place to pause.

I trust Asante less than the brothers.

Can we put her in a pressure suit and chuck her out the door?

Now you sound like Grace

It is your ship and the doctor has a hypo spray full of muscle relaxant. Could be interesting.

You need a cunning plan. A foolproof cunning plan that won't survive first contact with the enemy.

Ask yourself, what would Mal do?

I vote for tying her up and going through her luggage!

You have a moral dilemma, wrapped in a "how do we get paid" tortilla and smothered in a "who do we trust" sauce. But I am not sure you are at the point where you can start shoving people out the airlock as a solution.

If you drop off L at the liner, then you should get paid as was planned, right? What you do after that is on your own dime. Maybe you could sweet talk you way into an invite to the wedding? Perhaps you could say the brothers hired you to take them back with a "package" from the cruise liner? Perhap you can draw guns and blast your way on and off of the ship and retain something of a good reputation.

The brothers do not want to kill Daniel.
Lilianna does not want to marry Templeton.
Asante's consortium does not want the marriage to happen.
Asante has been ordered not to hurt anyone.

So in many ways, you are all on the same page.

The brothers do not want to kill Daniel.
(But the Baron want him killed and ordered Badger to get it done.)
Lilianna does not want to marry Templeton.
(Templeton wants a prise and he can buy anything.)
Asante's consortium does not want the marriage to happen.
(Right! Can we say COVER STORY.)
Asante has been ordered not to hurt anyone.
(Second "Right", sounds more like "Mercs are us" instead of bitter Browncoats!)

So in many ways, you are all on the same page.
(So many ways to die a death of of betrayal!)
