[OOC] The Skytower Rebellion

[Halo]

Catharyn said I'm going on four holidays abroad this summer. Got a replacement liver on standby at my local hospital.

I can't even. D: 4 holidays? I'm so jealous (my liver, however, is not :P). Although I do get to go away this summer, yay.

That is an excellent bio, well done! How long did you take to write that? I'm actually ashamed it took me 51 minutes to read that CS, i get distracted so easily! Please go ahead with any introduction if you haven't already.

Well, it took me quite a while to find the images for the appearance - I wanted to make sure the style of the armour at least sorta fitted with Artesa Jou's, considering both Amis and Artesa are part of specialist BESC units. I also had to make a couple of edits to the section describing the Maglev after I'd written it, after having double-checked some stuff on railguns. But once I'd done the research , it took me maybe 45 minutes to an hour? Why?
Or maybe it just says I need to work on my writing so as to be less dull! ;P I'm very much outta practice. And all right; I'll start tonight but probably won't finish until tomorrow. :)

It's all good stuff, and i lurrrv Railguns! Have done ever since Halo 2. <3
Can't wait!

There is something inexplicably awesome about electromagnetism and magnetic weaponry. :P
Welp, there it is: my first post. I might make a couple edits tomorrow. Reckon my writing's improved since last time? xD

BESC's spending on armaments and R&D is off the chart, I'm sure you won't miss a few bits and pieces

Fantastic post Halo, I love the cogency all of our offerings have when put together.

[Hyperion]

Dromulus Stenomylus - Known as the Common Dromelar to most.


The average life expectancy of a Dromelar is 40 to 50 years. A full-grown adult stands 5.48 m (18 foot) at the shoulder and is usually over 8m (26 foot) from tail to nose. Dromelar adults are stronger than they look (though ungainly and requiring a skilled rider to stay in the saddle) and can run at up to 65 km/h (40 mph) in short bursts and sustain speeds of up to 30 km/h (18 mph). The male Dromelar has in its throat an organ called a dulla, a large, inflatable sac he extrudes from his mouth when in rut to assert dominance and attract females. It resembles a long, swollen, pink tongue hanging out of it's huge mouth. Dromelar do not directly store water in their tails to survive long periods without drinking as was once commonly believed. It's long tail is actually a reservoir of fatty tissue: concentrating body fat in their tail minimizes the insulating effect fat would have if distributed over the rest of their bodies, helping the Dromelar survive in hot climates. Moreover, they have evolved a kind of second mouth on the tip of their tail. Operated with a very strong suction mechanism, a Dromelar will often opt to dip it's tail in any water it finds to drink rather than kneel down and leave itself vulnerable. Most Dromelar surviving today have been domesticated by various factions as well as tribes who have reverted to more primitive times out in the vast Deserts of Outremer and beyond.

Wow! Where did that come from?
I like it, accepted. I feel like we need to invent a tribe of nomadic peoples to ride the Dromelar now...

Teehee. :3 I can change it if it's an issue - I just liked the idea of some more... coherency, I guess? Between each character. It's why I'm (very slowly) building up this reference page of all the little details. Sharing sayings/idioms, or drinking the same drinks, or, indeed, coming across the same weapons, makes it seem all the more as if we're all in the same world. There's a sense of unity, that way - maybe unity is a better word than coherency. But, on the other hand, I really don't want to be seen to steal people's ideas, so I will absolutely go and change it if you'd prefer that.

You have government backing as well as a fully equipped Laboratoire to carry out your compilation.

Oh no, thats not an issue at all. I just like to complain about sharing.

Good post, just one small thing. Tess hasn't activated the beacon quite yet, being focused on shooting herself some Jack.

[Halo]

Oh, shit! Sorry, I read this:

Siphran said "CP to all aerial units in the vicinity, prep to evacuate all BESC personnel. All active units, proceed to clear an LZ and activate beacons. Say confirm."

"Fox Two confirm."
"Fox Three and Six, Alfa, already clear."
"Bravo confirm."

and this from PMs:

Siphran said But that might work out on the extraction part of the whole deal. In my posts where the SRTU teams were told to activate their beacons, these beacons would ping any BESC aerial units, or units associated with the BESC or law enforcement, requesting immediate transport.

As meaning that the other teams had activated their beacons - and as they know that Tess has run off after Jack... I suppose they wouldn't know where Tess was though. An oversight on my part - what I'll do is wipe the post, keep it on my computer, and repost it with appropriate edits once the time is right. My apologies, I wasn't paying enough attention to the details.

Its fine, happens to me all the time. Getting excited to post, and reading a tad bit fast.
I'll have my post up asap.

[Cath]

Now it's a small fix before reposting it Halo
I'll start work on my next post. ^^

[Halo]

Indeed. Thank you for compensating for my mistake, Siphran. :)

[Cath]

I have something real exciting for y'all. <3 Once i've posted i wanna hear your speculation, wanna make sure i don't reveal too much. ^^

Indeed. Sounds like whatever Jack had in his head is not messing around though.
Hes gonna need a full psych work up by the time its all over xD
