So out of curiosity, were you here just for the one adventure, or are you going to have a new character for each one?

Bio
I'm Randomness. I also go by others names when it's unavailable, but those are usually some variation of Randomness or Random in general.
I like anime, video games, and science. I'm currently in school studying to become an radiologic technologist. I'm in the initial stages, so I'm on my way. My favorite anime is Eureka Seven, and my favorite video game is a tie between Kingdom Hearts and Etrian Odyssey.
I have several story ideas, but currently lack motivation to write them out. I have plenty of notes for some of them so when I finally get around I'm prepared. That said, I absolutely enjoy group story telling like you do through role playing. One of my interests involved is world building and the connections between them if any.
One of my characters travels between worlds, dimensions and universes. What these are meant to be are different RPs. There seems to be some taboo around such a character, but I feel that is should be judged on a case by case basis. The idea of a seasoned character who has been on many adventures being able to share stories in passing sounds like a fun idea. I thought it would be an interesting idea that those stories could be from other RPs. He isn't meant to highjack the current RP, or be over powered. I admit, I can see that concern. Really though, he is meant to be an eccentric character with stories and treasures not before seen. The effects of these stories are meant to be entertaining, like fairy tales to the current cast. And what treasures he has or can use I'd restrict to what makes sense in the current world. But like I said before, it should be case by case. A learner, and a story teller. I think it's fun to link concept together through this character so the story could live on in new ways and perhaps give new RPs a different kind of character. Without upending everything of course.

The Moray is 500 meters from the pirate ship? Wow, they really let it drift close.

SO did you just kill Rod, or is Mason expected to save him?

Sounds like you need an AI buddy to help you manage the influx of information. Might I recommend a second AI named Muffins to help you manage your thoughts as you post?

Location: Pirate Ship
“I’m sure you had a whole plan going on and everything, but we could have just teleported into the cargo hold. I don’t think climbing the trash chute was all that necessary.” Complain Mason as he exited the chute with the rest of the crew. He was glad he decided to bring along his quarantine mask. While it wouldn’t keep the filth off his clothes, he would at least not have to smell it. It glowed a light blue, so it wasn’t exactly a stealth tool, but having the mask for a situation like this was a godsend.
After crawling out of the chute, it looked like Rod was looking up ahead to make sure the coast was clear. Mason didn’t expect there to be many guards or anything. The pirates should not be expecting anyone other than pirates to be aboard the ship. If anything, they would probably have one or two to make sure the hostages don’t try to escape, but a simple locked door could do that. Mason barely gave any mind as he tried to remove as much of the residue he could before they moved forward. Once he was as satisfied as he probably could be in that circumstance he moved up to Rod.
“The pirates will probably smell us before they see us.” commended Mason quietly. While they were only in an alcove of the hall, there was a good chance that any old pirate could walk by and spot them. The other crew members held steady, waiting to move. The coast was clear for now, one of the cargo entrances would just be down that hall.
Just as the team was about to hurry down the hall, Mason pulled them back. He peered over the edge of the wall and saw one of the pirates aggressively dragging a boy behind him. That he did not expect. Were the pirates using them as slaves already? Why would the pirate be dragging the boy for? Whatever the reason, he walked down the hall out of sight, presumably to the cargo entrance just around the bend. Mason couldn’t quite make it out, but it seemed that the pirate was agitated, mumbling distain for this and that. If the others were like that one, then it would be best for team alpha to hurry. Then again, he wasn’t sure if others had been taken. A manifest would have been good right about now. As for another matter, the nerve gas didn’t seem to take much effect just yet. their two options now were either to risk the hostages safety and wait, hoping that the captain and the diplomat could stall them long enough, or try and complete their mission now and hope that the nerve gas has in fact worked its magic.
Mason turned to Rod and presented his thoughts as mentioned. Rod seemed a bit eager to just move forward, but Mason trusted his intuition enough to follow his lead. At the very least, he had hoped the reports he’s read about him didn’t embellish his capability.

Last Recorded Location: Cafeteria
Dolly watched as the last remaining person decided that the cafeteria would be the best place to go. She tried to speak up and warn him of the sights that soiled the place, but the words got caught in her throat. The boy looked to be almost the same age as she, but had a different aura around him. Despite seeming scared as well, he appeared to not want to wait outside the cafeteria with her. This left Dolly by herself, and she did not like it. There were things around, and she had no idea what or where they were.
Once the boy had passed through the doors, Dolly had inched her way back. She faced away from the entrance and took a deep breath. Blade was in there, and so was the girl that threw him. If everyone they had made contact with at this junction were now in there, Dolly felt that despite the horrific scene, she would be safe. She was given a small sense of false confidence that perhaps they could deal with or at least run from whatever had harmed those people. And the best way would be to stay together.
Dolly took one more deep breath and turned to enter the cafeteria. She knew what to expect, and was as prepared as she’d ever be to deal with it. As she walked through the door, she instinctually looked at where she had found the bodies slumped over. Her eyes then darted to the man ripped open. It was still horrifying to look at, but Dolly closed her eyes, and looked away. When she opened them again, she saw that woman from before. She was leading Dougie back towards the entrance. With a small skip forward, she stopped in front of them.
“Everyone is in here now.” She said, “I didn’t want to wait out there by myself. I… I’m okay now. I’ll be stronger.” If whatever else that roamed the halls were capable of doing what was presented in this room, then Dolly felt that she had to do her part. She knew she couldn’t fight, but at least she should try to not hinder everyone else. That girl that threw Blade, and the woman who stood by Dougie, even the boy she followed in, Dolly wanted to be less of a hassle much like them.
Dolly looked at Dougie. He didn’t seem too bothered by the gory sight that was spread before him. Then again, he didn’t seem aware of anything besides of whom addresses him. Dolly took a step towards him, and placed her hand upon his.
“I’m sorry we left you in here.” Dolly apologized, “I don’t know if you saw, but I’m sorry for what happened.” She then turned to the woman who was leading him out. “I’m sorry to you, too. I’m not sure what is happening, but I think I want to stay in here with everyone else. No one else is out there. My name is Dolly, what’s yours?”
She then noticed Blade as he had his arms full of food stuffs. She waved as he probably noticed that Dougie was still in the room. She gave him a forced smile to show she was okay, and sat down at one of the tabled farthest away from the bloody scene.

Location: Prize Shuttle
Mason was rolling a small pill in his hand as he sat just behind the pilot within the shuttle. It was he, Rod, and a few of the lesser crew who would help funnel everyone together after the nerve agent took effect. The pirates ship was pretty large, but Robin seemed quite confident in her plan. The way she took charge within that laboratory, and those chemicals used, he was confident in her idea as well. As a side note, perhaps he should secure the medical bay in case she tries to hijack it away from him. The supplies he provided were mostly overstock, and could live just fine without them. If she wanted to surgical pod or the multi-imaging machine, then he would have to throw hands. Not literally, but Mason was amused by the thought. But with what was happening right now, he hoped her plan would succeed in neutralizing the pirates.
He took a look at his wrist bound communicator to look at the time. It would be just about time before they could teleport into the cargo bay and round up the hostages. He pulled out a pouch he had at his side. Within it he had packed a few sprays of the antidote in case any of the hostages had a negative reaction to the agent. He also had some mild sedatives and fast acting numbing agents in case of the worst. Of course, he also had a med kit ready for any immediate injury that could not wait until they return to the shuttle. Putting his pack away, he looked back at the crew that remained.
“So, Rod, was it? Are you ready to pirate the pirates? It’s about that time the agent should be filtering in just about now, assuming we dropped Robin off at the right spot.” Said Mason. He stood up, stretched his arms and let out a deep breath. He took a few steps near the teleporter and waited just outside the pad.
“Got everything you need? Don’t forget that pill if you haven’t taken it already.” Mason then swallowed his pill and prepared the teleporter. “They might not be in the right state of mind, but I expect these pirates can still shoot drunk, so let’s not pick any unnecessary fights. It’s get in, round the hostages, and get out without being spotted. Think we can do that?”
That's fine. Thanks. I'll put in a post sometime after Robin starts to do her thing under the ship.
Actually that brings up a question, about how many non PC crew members are there? Elm has two assistants, and I can imagine Mason having a nurse or assistant of some kind if that's the case.
I like surprises.
