NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Quick question. Did that last post count as @ADParis's post? Wondering if I need to post next or wait.

Aether: Legend of the Crimson Dusicyon - Now Recruiting Crewmates!

Gonna post up something tomorrow as it's my usual day off.

Sorry for not being active. Haven't really been in a good place mentally. Lack of quality sleep, no help at work, throwing myself at my artwork and dreams for the future at a work-aholic's pace to forget the other two things...

Anyway I have some ideas for NPC's and things so I should be getting a post up soon.

@DemonTongue

Hope all is well and look forward to seeing the ideas.

While an app would be cool, the question is why do people want one, and I believe @Ellri touched base with the answer in the email replies.

I don't believe it's the fact people want to have an app that does the same thing as a web page, but more that they want to be connected to the guild in a more meaningful way and reduce the chances of missing something, which can be helped by email notifications.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

@Voltus_Ventus Just no kicking me of buildings in this one. ok? ;)

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

What about the old IC post from before the reset?
NVM, they're gone.

@M127

They got removed by a mod to make a proper restart. Would be easier than trying to work around the posts that you guys had before.

Numbers are wrong but that's cause they are actually hidden

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Madison Cole

"It's god damn cold!!!" The young girl spouted out in annoyance as she sat in the back of the truck breathing warm air onto her cupped fingers before reinserting them into her gloves. "You want to hear my story? Well here I was asleep in my beautifully warm bed when one of you guys decided that it would be a 'great idea' to come in and tell me that I was running late! That's also right before they ripped off my blanket and flipping me onto the cold floor! And to top that off someone used up all the hot water!!!"

At this point in time Madi's hands were up in the air, narrowly missing her two neighbouring passengers with an accidental uppercut as she aimed her attention to the skies with an expression that announced "Why me?". It had clearly not been her morning and in any case she wanted everyone to know about it.

This was Madi, a young girl who's guardian was one of the engineers who worked at the facility where the NCs were being stored and maintained. Being old enough Madi could have moved out and found a place of her own, but she enjoyed his company way too much and felt that it wouldn't be right to leave him alone after everything he had done for her over the past 17 years. A few days earlier, however, he had left to go help make the final preparations for both her NC and some of the other's, leaving Madi at the barracks so that she wouldn't miss her departure time for the long trip.

A plan of action that clearly failed on multiple levels, except for the possibility of missing the transport truck as well.

At this point in time she had slowly bought her hands down and placed them between her lap before looking down to her knees. "I'm Madison Cole..." she spoke in a dreary voice, realising that opening up the conversation with an expression of frustration might not have been the best course of action. She cleared her throat and began her proper introduction this time round "I've grown up around mechanics and machinery for as long as I lived in Smith's Rest, but I've seen NC componentry before and when I heard that there was an opportunity to pilot one, I just thought 'Hell yes!' and placed my name down on the list."

The Zipf Mystery

Thought this might be cool to share considering it goes into language and literature. It might also help explain why we as people sometimes get attached to certain words and often have to rely on Thesauruses.

@Vash Just seeing if you approve of these two changes.

Post Battle Augmentations: After the Battle of Tirbetha ended Cari needed some drastic repairs to her cybernetics. Along with this she opted for some enhancements utilising the materials and equipment available within the city to help with these changes.

• Right Hand Enhancement: Due to the complex damage to her right hand, the forearm was completely reconstructed. While the reconstruction was taking place a winch line was added to the wrist joint, allowing her hand to detach from her arm and extend out for a few metres. To assist with this feature an air compression chamber was added so that Cari can fire off her hand and grapple onto a ledge or pipe. (Rough Example: 3:30-3:45) She still has full hand and finger movement but the wrist as an entity still obeys the laws of gravity when fired, giving it a trajectory arc.
• Left Hand Enhancement: Since the left hand wasn't damaged the modifications that were applied were more additions rather than a full reconstruction. Within the palm of Cari's hand is a small electromagnetic emitter that when placed on a small devices (ie: communicators, laptops, locks, cameras) it will allow her to temporary shut down it's components. This has no area of effect so she needs to have physical contact for it to work, as well as not always guaranteeing the most desirable of outcomes especially with subsystems that only activate when the main network is shut down.
