So, like it has been already suggested, we should get a discord going at least so we can keep in contact if the guild goes down again, my account is Crossfire #5377
Alright folks, if you got anything that you want to post before we head off on our next adventure, get to it! I'm gonna do the post with the mission briefing by the end of this weekend, but if for any reason, you have something to post and won't get a chance to do it, let me know and I'll push back the deadline a little bit.
"Alright, Koren. Got it. And to answer your question, I think the Alliance is surprised we've lasted this long to tell you the truth. Being on this ship is just a less boring way of serving out a life sentence... usually anyway, these last few weeks have been fairly dull, but that'll change fast. So, gentlemen, to kick off the tour..." he gave a half-hearted sweeping gesture around the Cargo Bay "... the Cargo Bay. Not a lot to really see here, considering it's mainly storage for additional supplies and parking space for the shuttles. Engine room is up those stairs over there. Hope one of you guys is mechanically-sound, we haven't had a proper engineer on board in months."
"Leave your things here for now, no need of dragging around your luggage while I'm showing you guys around. You can pop back down for it later once we settle the rooming arrangements." Stryker led the way over to the elevator and called it down "Let's start at the top and work our way back down shall we?"
He kept the tour fairly brief, showing the newcomers around the main areas of the ship in a timely fashion, not really lingering on any one place for too long, unless either of them had a question. He ended off the tour by bringing them into the gym to check in on how much progress Benny and Grayson had made on the firing range, and found Matija and Benny inside. "Oh, you're back, that's good" he started "Well, before I ask how it went, I guess I'll do the introductions. Harrison and Koren, this is Benny and Matija. Benny and Matija, these are the new ...."
A crash coming from just outside the door cut him off. He rounded on his heels and marched outside to find an unfamiliar figure lying in front of the hatch covering on the ladder leading down to the Cargo Bay. A female Hemiplantae who was conscious, but unmoving, and very clearly equal amounts of confused and exhausted. As he stepped closer, he got a good look at her face, and his jaw dropped as he realized he knew her. All at once, it came back to him. Serros Station, Vanderos, Kaeci. Harriet.. that was her name. He didn't believe it was possible, all of Kaeci's talk of bringing her back from the dead, but against all odds, here she was.
"He did it.... the crazy son of a bitch did it." he said in amazement as he knelt down beside her. Coming back to the present, he snapped into action "Alright don't panic Harriet, you're ok now. Guys, come on, we gotta get her up to Med Bay, right now!"
@Xandrya@Gardevoiran@BKburke@Silver Carrot@Shard Little update for you all: Plans have been drawn up for our next mission, the briefing on it will be in my next IC post. Still a couple of small things to take care of on this planet, so that's why it's not included in this post.
@superservo27 Well, Stryker still has to show the new guys around, I think what he'll do is take them to the top of the ship first and work their way down to the lower deck, and they'll arrive right around the time Harriet comes bursting out, that should work out nicely.
@Rultaos I was gonna have SAL find her since he's not up to anything right now, but with the server/loading issues on here of the last couple days I haven't had a chance. As for posts we're waiting on? Pretty much just something @Xandrya and me have been working on (which is nearly done). I'll probably throw something together before I go to bed tonight to nudge things along for everyone.
I just remembered- @GamerXZ are you still making a CS to join us?
@t2wave Unsuccessfully, but yeah I've made my attempts through all my years as an amateur landscaper (in that, I've been cutting the lawns at both my parents and uncle's place every summer for about 12 years now). Why do you ask?
@t2wave Yeah, had to be done unfortunately. Hawlin wasn't interested in taking on Harriet as a second character (he ended up dropping out himself right after that mission ended) and I couldn't take on another character, considering I have 3 to manage as is, sorry about that!
So folks, I've started in on writing up a plan for our next mission. As of this moment, just got a basic framework drawn up, setting, objective, stuff like that, and I want your help, so if you have any ideas, send them my way! (via private message)
