Krayzikk Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 IC: Far removed from the action, seated at his currently useless console in the cockpit, Major Daniels had been far removed from the fighting aboard the slave ship. Some might consider that a good thing; Being removed from a situation meant a chance to think it over more clearly, a chance to avoid being the one directly shot at. But now, in his first space engagement in quite some time, he found that he hated it. Being removed from the situation also removed his ability to act, to influence the events in process. Without the sensor room, he couldn't even properly take action from the ship; Aiming a weapon would require manually calculating the firing coordinates, and with a boarding operation in process, such action was not only unwarranted but unwanted. All he could do was silently watch the ship with his own eyes, listen to the comm chatter, and monitor the Kestrel's status, dismal as it was. Though he allowed himself a moment's satisfaction when the shields stabilized, and Devas reported such over the comms a moment later, his attention remained fixed on the events unfolding, whether he could see them or not, save a verbal acknowledgement tossed the engineer's way. When the shuttle took off again, and the reports began to roll in of the mission's success, he finally sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Until a familiar voice of authority piped up on the comm line, demanding an explanation. "Well, Colonel," He began, tone as dry as an Earth desert. "We just finished dealing with another set of hostiles. Slavers. Captain was surprisingly polite while he was threatening to shoot us in two. A modern day Trojan horse got a boarding crew over, and they have since eliminated all enemy crew. The ship is intact, so we can salvage parts from it for repairs. Oh, and we also seem to have picked up a few would-be slaves, including two Federation officers. We'll need to see about making some space in the cargo hold for them to bed down in until we drop them off at a station." "Oh, and our sensor room still doesn't exist, the majority of deck two is still in question, and I have a Vendarian petitioning for disciplinary action for a certain boarding party commander, and I have to admit, I'm mildly tempted to oblige him." A pause. "If the coffee maker didn't survive all of this, I may consider putting a bullet in between my eyes, ma'am. But, we have parts for salvage, the ship's still flying, and we haven't had any confirmed crew casualties. Not much, but I'll take what I can get." On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Xomeron Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 OOC: You know Rand, you could interact with the other people in the game instead of creating side characters who will lead to plot holes later on and serve no function that isn't served by an already-present PC. That would probably be a good idea. IC: Can, having served in the Planetary Forces for two years out in the Asteroid Belts, had the highest number of spacesuit hours among the officers. In the aftermath of the fight with the slavers,(and after getting a shower and a hot meal) he had volunteered to help uninstall the slaver ship's sensor array. The complex external astrionic panels had to be removed, but they came off with a simple vacuum toolkit, and it was easily a one-man job. Can had, to be honest, missed being in his spacesuit, and the zero-g of the slaver ship's outer skin was a major relief after so long under one-gravity. It was more relaxing than any amount of rest at one-g, easily. That being said, thag thag thaggity thag thagness.-Rover "A memo was sent to Astaria asking if it would at all be possible to make a flying goat.""The Astarians responded that making a goat fly would be trivial; making it land safely would be another matter entirely."

Alex Humva Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) OOCSo yeah purty much everything of note is done for the slavers so we shall commence a timeskip of four days. What happened during the time can be summed up as this: engineering teams were deployed to scrap every bit of the slaver ship they could; Atton's Doctor was given a commission by the Lt. Colonel; Gaven was brought on as extra muscle for security by the Major, given the rank of E-1; the slaves are being held in a makeshift area in the hanger; and the Vendarians have filed their request with the Colonel. Speaking of the Colonel, the trauma her leg experienced forced an amputation, being too severe for the nanites to fix, and so has had to have that replaced. Just a bit of story development there. IC [Colonel Ojeda] Ojeda's office felt a bit cramped, under the circumstances: sitting behind her deck, in front of her sat Chastain, Daniels, and Walker, while to the side sat Harken (thankfully not in his armor), representing the non-commissioned officers. For matters such as this, she felt it was only proper that he had a voice in the matter. The man's experience and rank warranted such. "Ambassador Lyk informed me that we will not be needing to drop him off at a station; it seems he has knowledge of a nearby Confederate fleet, and has arranged to be dropped off with them, as will the former slaves. Devas informs me that the engines are running at 85% efficiency and that the sensors are... functional. Botany seems to have been completely wiped out, though thankfully our botanist was not. We'll need to recover our supply of flora at another station. Otherwise, though, the ship is intact, and new armor has been temporarily grafted over the engines." The Colonel ignored a twinge that went through her new leg, the nerves apparently trying to reconnect. "A far more concerning matter is upon us, however: the Vendarians have petitioned for the summary execution of Captain Skinter. They claim his negotiations with the slavers and standing in the way of a superior warrants this. Military regulations demand punishment, but execution? Hardly. The Vendarians will cause problems if they are not appeased, so we need to figure out some way to avoid killing our security chief while also avoiding a mutiny. I'd like your thoughts on the situation." IC [Agent Dorian] As the command staff discussed ship affairs, Ashley had found herself in her room, alone and resting. That was. until she heard a voice. "Hello Ashley." Looking over, she'd find Agent Dorian sitting on the opposite bunk. "I see you've made good progress with the stem cell treatment. I'm very glad to see you walking around again; I'm sorry for not talking to you for so long, but these things take some getting use to on my part. Now that you're in a better state of mind, do you have any questions?"

Sophie Chastain leaned back in her chair and bit her thumb pensively. "If they're petitioning us then clearly they're not ready or willing to step up and take off Skinter's head themselves yet.

That would probably be a good idea. OOC: I can indeed. It's just a matter of context and availability. I don't want to interact with someone just for the sake of having a cross-player interaction, it should make sense in the context of the story. If I need to talk to someone I'm not just going to have Nicole wander into the engine room just because there happens to be a player character there. NPC's don't necessarily create "plot holes". Based on my experience they can help enrich the environment a lot more, not to mention they can be handy whenever an interaction isn't possible (which does happen from time to time). I don't recall ever introducing people who created "plot holes". One or two NPC's that nobody liked, maybe (just ask anyone who was with me in When Universes Collide, where most of my cast was made up of men descended from the participants of famous historical battles, or more easily ask Avmatoran about Snake or Firecracker), but never any incident where it created a full-on "plot hole" that causes is problems in the overall story. I'm sorry, I'm just having some trouble seeing exactly what the problem is with developing a few supporting characters to play off your primary character in addition to interacting with other players. Okay, I have made my point. Now I will prepare for my argument to inevitably prove futile as everyone insists that I rely on interactions with player characters and NPC's always create too many plot holes. I've never been good at making arguments. Anyway, I guess now that I'm commissioned Nicole has probably had some time to recover, which presumably means she's working in the hospital now. I guess it's time to write some of her interactions with Karin. Edited May 4, 2014 by Atton Rand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krayzikk Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) IC: For the first few moments, Daniels was content to listen to the others speak. While they did, he took the time to take a long, long swallow from his coffee mug. The Major wasn't looking his best, truth be told. He was as alert as ever, but it was fairly clear that he hadn't had much sleep; Hence the coffee. He'd been on his feet for the better part of the first thirty six hours, dealing with one thing or another, and only got a chance to even take a slight breather when Chastain was finally found. Beyond that, he'd only slept when he finally reached the point where his exhaustion passed the point where it would have made his contributions more harmful than helpful. Even then he'd only slept a few hours before rising again. "With all due respect, Lieutenant," He finally said, balancing his coffee cup on his thigh, and regarding the assembled officers and enlisted crew thoughtfully. "I think the fact that they're not willing to just take his head proves that we've still got a chance to avoid a major conflict. I'm not sure that putting 'squash' and 'Vendarian' together in a plan is wise, either." "He definitely needs to suffer punitive action. I can't begin to explain how irksome having to deal with him trying to act outside the chain of command during that crisis was, setting aside for a moment the fact that he, apparently, has been keeping an eye on comms that are very much outside of his clearance level." The man paused again, sighing as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "As tempting as it is, we can't just space him. But we definitely need to punish him, and hopefully in a way that can get Devas and Ameli off of our backs. I'm not sure we even have a brig, and I don't think that that'd be very effective anyway." A few more moments of silence, the Weapons Officer tapping his fingers against his leg in thought. "... Maybe a demotion? Take away his command privileges, make sure he doesn't have them, and promote someone else to his position. We have qualified individuals, we keep his skill set, and we get him well away from the chain of command."

Hopefully Devas stays holed up in his engine room, we'd have a fight on our hands if he wandered out to order Skinter around."

The one that had threatened the slug, more or less, by bringing up Souper's past. Back before the name change. It was a silly name, sure, but it was exactly what the slug needed to get into society. Humans liked funny names. The slug had worked at a restaurant owned by humans before all of this. Still technically did, although the owner of the place was more than understanding about it. Despite that, however, Souper was more worried about the mental focii in the human female's mind. Having already prepared the day's meals, the slug immediately headed over to Ashley's room and waited outside, waiting for it to dissipate again.

Atton Rand Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC: Nicole took a seat in the medbay. She had not seen much of Tasha, who was busy looking after the former slaves, but had been commissioned as a member of the Kesler's crew. For her it was hardly an honor, as she recalled the last time being assigned to an important mission was what put her on the slave trader to begin with. Her strength had started to return, though her mental state was hardly improved. She was now stationed here, in the medbay, helping the only other doctor aboard with what remained of the casualties. Few of the patients had anything serious, aside from malnurishment among the slaves. As she reached into her shirt she pulled out that locket of hers she held so tight, and opened it, staring at the raven-haired young woman in the picture next to her own. She remembered her well, but it also brought back other memories. Specifically, with her now back in a hospital, Nicole began to remember Gaia and the growing pile of casualties she had to face there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuRon the champion Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Ic: "... You wanted to see me doc..?" Rehn asked in a meek voice, practically quivering as he strode into the medbay. After the events of the whole "slaver ship an mantis escapade", rehn hadn't really done much. He'd tried to salvage stuff from the engine, as well as the sensor room. But the latter attempt was fruitless, and devas had fussed at him about the engine. So rehn had done his job, and slept in his room when bored. Until he got the notice that he had an "examination" of some sorts. Now he was practically quaking in his boots. BZPRPG Characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atton Rand Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC: Nicole looked up in startlement, closing her locket and hiding it under her shirt as she stood and faced Rehn. "I'm sorry," she said. "Who are you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuRon the champion Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Ic: "Oh... I'm rehn. Personal, rehn. Familial, Au. The doc said I had an examination today..." He said, watching the woman carefully. If memory served him correctly, she was one of the ones from the slaver ship. She also seemed to have something... Golden? Rehn didn't know much about gold, but he knew that the tribe leaders always desired things in that hue. He briefly wondered if she led her own tribe... Before dismissing the idea. She was on a slaver ship after all. Leaders never get taken prisoner. BZPRPG Characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuRon the champion Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Ic: "Oh! No, I'd rather wait for doc renard..." He said, inching to the opposite side of the room, "really. I can wait for the doc." BZPRPG Characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atton Rand Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC: Nicole looked at the man in confusion. It took her a moment to fully understand where he was coming from. "I am a doctor," she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
