Atropos pulled the blindfold off and stuffed it into the back pocket of her jeans. the area around them reflected slightly in her featureless black eyes. The hand came back out from behind her back with the spool of golden thread. She tied one end to the scissors with a neat little knot before diving to the side, swinging it in a tightly controlled arc and cutting a leaping zombie in half. The thread hummed as it moved though the air in circles and arcs, the thread cutting and the scissors bludgeoning and stabbing.
The headache started immediately as a dull throb. She could ignore it for a while but judging by the amount of food in here she may need to take a break before the end. Atropos began to swing preemptively at items of food, cutting them to pieces before anything could get out. Pausing for a moment, she shut her eyes tightly and felt the pain recede back to the dull ache. The bright light and the stark white interior of the fridge was taking its toll.

Kyla split her will into halves, one part working to strengthen the fire, the other part working directly against the wind with what power she had over that element. She smiled a little more at the contest of will.
Kylas mouth turned into a small smile and she put her own will into the fire vortex. It would hardly be for for it to be two versus one.
Grimm drummed his fingers on the shield for several fingers, thinking. "Nothing Regarding the job, just some things to ask you personally. I'll be by tomorrow."
He lifted the shield up onto his back, walking out through the door. He stood on the street for a moment, trying to decide what to do for the rest of the day. Those vampires there sure as hell looked like quite competent engineers. He decided to head to the quarantine section to ask some questions. It was rare that he took went into battle without knowing his team and he wanted to hear what their neighbours had to say about them. One of the names he had heard was Fortuna so he decided to follow up on that first.
No amount of persuasion could get him into the quarantine zone so Grimm stood in sight of the entrance, waiting for one of them to return.

Her face lit up with the delight of her first combat kill. Kate made a note of the retreating contact, writing down the direction that it was retreating towards. Noting that Angel had taken damage and was being chased Kate began a shallow dive from the side, firing a missile as soon as the lock was made though there was a slim chance it would hit from this angle though it would likely ruin the MiG pilots concentration. She punctuated it with a long burst of 30mm cannon fire before pulling in behind.
"I've got you Angel, pull hard left... Now!"
She pulled left as she spoke, anticipating the enemies reaction and getting into a firing position.

Kyla spoke softly.
"If the fire is on something solid. If a gas is burning then it will just move along with the wind."

Who's up from some near future space combat in our own solar system? No warp drives or artificial gravity, just missiles, guns and lasers.
It will likely be Casual, simplified (No mucking about with orbital mechanics or managing Delta-V) and combat based. The setting will be a civil war between Earth and Mars. Depending on player count it will either be all on one side with GM controlled enemies or split between Earth and Mars with a handful of GM flavour characters.
The First Solar War
In the mid In the mid twenty second century, Mankind has spreadt its reach out across the solar system but has not yet reached the stars. The planet Mars has been made habitable through vast underground cities and is home to a great amount of industry. During this time the Inhabitants developed a desire for independance and stole a freighter, converting it into a weapons platform and sending it towards earth. For two months it bombarded cities from its orbit around the moon until it was finally destroyed. The first Solar war began. In the following year both sides began to build their space fleets, beginning with converted freighters and eventually building dedicated warships.
Technology:
At this point, mankind has moved away from using rockets to reach space and has instead employed laser propulsion to reach space. By sending up modules a new craft can be built efficiently in a matter of a handful of months. The ships themselves, in the interest of cost and weight lack any large amount of armour, preferring mobility to avoid taking damage. The weapons employed range from missiles and lasers to railguns, each with their own drawbacks. The ships themselves are propelled using highly efficient nuclear rockets. Along onboard nuclear reactors to power systems and weapons, ships have large panels to radiate waste heat into space.
Combat:
Lasers are quite inneffective at damaging enemy ships and are more likely to be found being used as point defense or to blind enemy sensors. though more efficient than today, lasers still produce as much heat in the ship firing as they do in the target ship. Missiles can hit a manouvring target after a somewhat lengthy flight time but carry only limited fuel for course adjustments. Railguns are best used on orbital installations, surface targets and at close range. Being unguided, they have little use Aside from the lasers, most hits are kill shots unless it was a glancing blow from a railgun.
There being almost no obstructions in space, an enemy can be spotted from an incredible distance away and an ship firing its engines can be detected from just about anywhere in the solar system. At the high speed that warships would meet at planning and strategy. First hits usually kill although it takes great skill to even hit with a laser considering the vast distances involved.
Info:
Characters will typically be the captains of the warships. I, The GM, will typically play the role of High Command and that of the enemy. Characters will likely die over the course of this so feel free to make more but I would like players to stick to a handful at any one time.
I'm looking for high quality posts but no real minimum post size.

think I'll use a google doc.
Kyla entered and sat down near to the fire feeling a little bit let down. She had expected something a little bit more impressive.
aww, I have to call it a night right now. Let's just assume that Kyla just follows along to the right room.
