Given the fact that we've lost half of the original players we started the game with, and that the actual number of GEARs in the unit is now so small - out of five players (as we've had another drop out) we have three mecha - which seems a bit off-balance considering the damn game is SUPPOSED to be about mecha combat, I'm going to open us up for some recruitment, and post a new int-check. 

Also I have no idea what's happened to Es, so I'll put her characters on the back-burner and NPC them in the next post, just to get us past this goddamn scene which has dragged out way, way, way longer than it was meant to. 
Hopefully having a few more players will get the activity back up, because these dragging two weeks between posts is killing my enjoyment of the game at the moment. Especially since I originally had the rule of one post per week, which seems to have gone so far out the window I can't even see it anymore.
