@Sep Oh she's real...or at least was...
No biggie though, maybe the Admiral's parents were big into classic movie celebrities (??).

It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.”

Wow..."Rita Hayworth" as an Admiral? Geez, I'm on the wrong ship ;)
(And I know it's a slightly different spelling, but still...hawt)
Seriously though, @Sep, great job and looking forward to a fun story.

For what it's worth, a method I may use in order to stay within a certain time frame (or without time having to move much at all) is the use of dialogue and/or flashbacks (i.e. something the PC overhears triggers a memory from long ago, etc).
I like flashbacks as a way of character building, and allowing the reader to understand a bit more about the character, whether it's trivial info or not, showing their personality traits in action, or perhaps their upbringing, etc. For instance, stuff that you may have touched on in your bio could be explained in more detail, to a degree.

And we need more Christi.
I approve this message.

Alrighty, here's a few new ideas for uniform/armor concepts based on discussions in Discord the other day & keeping some continuity in the style:

I tried to keep my dialogue open-ended in the event you don't have a chance to post, but that being said, hopefully Vin and Christi will have something of a conversation.

“Hey it was just a thought!”
Vin suddenly felt as though he were being ganged up on by the two girls, like it mattered whether he was carrying a shotgun, handgun, or a bazooka.
“But I think I’ll defer to Christi’s expertise in the matter, Jennifer, since she is clearly more apt at using guns...and kni-”
He quickly cut himself off, realizing that probably wasn’t a subject to broach at this time, nor anytime, considering it caused enough trauma for the little girl. At that point, Jennifer more or less stopped listening after being spooked by Jack the dog, who didn’t seem all that interested in bothering anyone at the moment.
“Yeah, maybe you are giving off bad vibes, babe.” He snorted, as she passed him by and headed toward the edge of the thick forest where Nate had entered.
He turned his attention back to the mine’s entry way, narrowing his eyes to have a better look down the dark corridor that lead into the unknown. He’d seen enough horror movies in the past to know that “old, abandoned mine shafts” were never the smartest places to venture into and yet his curiosity on the subject was piqued enough that he actually looked forward to it. On the other hand, the question did arise, which had been milling around in his head for awhile.
“Why a mine shaft?” He finally said, tipping an old wooden crate upside down, and sitting a few feet away from Christi. “Eli couldn’t think of any other place to hide out besides…this?”
He didn’t know if he was directing the questions to the kid, or just asking rhetorical non-sense out loud that he already knew the answers to. Either way, Vincent could feel the exhaustion setting in, and even while he sat on the creaky box, his legs thanked him for the reprieve. Though he wasn’t the healthiest thirty-something, he kept in well enough shape not to die of a heart attack anytime soon, but the last few days have been the most daunting on his mind and body. He dazedly staring at the artwork inked into his arms, wondering when the next panic attack -or worse- would set off the evil bastard living inside him. Like Jeckyl and Hyde, Vin felt as though his curse was a culmination of two individuals rather than one, and he feared that the latter part would take over enough one day that he may never revert to his normal self again.
“I never asked for this shit…” He sighed, mumbling to himself, but within earshot of Christi.

@LegionPothIX Overall nice work!
And don't forget adding the letter "U" to words where it's not necessary :/
We let way too many things from England slip in, like freaking Colonel being pronounced like "Kernel" (as in popcorn).

On the contrary chica, I thought you balanced it well enough. There really are no "rules" per se, just guidelines to keep in mind, and you're doing fine.
