While there is a lull in this conflict, I'd like to ask [@Gnar The Missing Link] if a plot post could be made, so that the RP can continue to move forward, If you would be so kind. [@Dead Cruiser] I'm going to regret this, but I need to address something about your accusations. Every example you gave has no concrete evidence of Railroading. The failing of the test was a foregone conclusion and rigged to be that way, and still Team Sigma almost passed in a sense by actually teaming up, Ian breaking was going to happen regardless in the end, so nothing really railroad-ish about that, Sigma submitting is kind of a moot point to bring up because, given the way AtomicNut described it, she was in no state of mind to offer up any sort of resistance to Lorenzo demand, more focused on keeping Ian alive in the long run, The fight is another moot point bevause that's the reasonable thing [i]any[/i] military officer would do, and the sword thing just shouldn't have been an issue. I mean, yiu call them 'ornamental' but also say that they can cut through a man's shoulder just by being dropped on it!?!? I'm sorry, but even in a futuristic place like this, a piece of metal being able to slive through something like the shoulder with such ease is ridiculous, just a stupid thing to have made for any reason, and something you were almost assuredly going to use at somepoint, or else you wouldn't have described it in the first place. Hell, Gnar probably sabed your character from getting the Cruxi treatment, or worse from Lorenzo. Sorry that all just really bothered me and I needed to get it out of my chest.
