Sigh...went back to edit yet again. It is sad when my format screws up the story I'm trying to tell. That's what I get for using italics for thought and the formatting on BSN....

Anybody confused when I write, PLEASE let me know. It is probably an editing error.

Regarding the hospital: This should be interesting...

I've had the same problem when using italics for thought, or Momma's speech. I have to post it in the quick reply box to get it in the right format. Then go into the standard form to make things italic.

Finally. Wyld and the Sarge are on a collision course.

And Wylds picked up an OSS that according to the admin guy, isn't there.... or it's broken.

And windows are made of plexi glass.

Let's go over our cast of characters:

Zia has Naomi problems, that are on their way to being solved. But not without explosions. She has Farzam, Dale and Arok in tow. Plus Radcliffe is intent on helping Naomi out. This is good...we hope!

Wyld will meet a 300 year sociopath and possibly a wickedly sharp lawyer. But not before she takes the hospital bureaucracy by the hornes. The Mako carries an intersesting payload for a certain someone, and Momma is a hackmaster. With a giant gun. And self-awareness.

Elaine, who's author speaks to me from afar, has reappeared. She hasn't changed.

We await anxiously to hear from Rob and his dog, and Khaled.

Artemis squad was last seen in the bar after blowing up a Reaper processor. And causing a massive cave in. Signs are that their path of destruction will continue after blowing off some steam. Woe to anyone who stands in their way.

Arkeer made it out, but where is he? Clearly, there is anger. We wouldn't want a krogan any other way.

Rothan let his feelings be known to Rea in one of those asari meld things. Something crazy happened too which neither of them has figured out yet. Rea got all confronted like. What the hell is going on inside her head?

Stay tuned!

Excellent. That's a good spring board to work from.

It also means a quick edit to account for the mother.....

But that's workable. Probably post up in eight hours..... Have to give a drum lesson this evening.

Hey guys, haven't red the last three or so posts. Been busy at jay ou bee and that, among other things the post. Will read all of them thoroughly later tonight but taking a quick glance, it looks like the crew are mingling and I sense a roundabout at Bastion :)

I could be wrong...damn I can't wait to read it XD

Too late to join in? Wouldn't mind whipping up something to join in.

Actually I'll just whip up a bio for creativity sake. 

This is how I envision my character when I play mp.

I don't think it is too late to join in. Check out the first post in this thread and just follow the guidelines. People have jumped in, though most of us who write frequently have friended each other and we have a group going so we can discuss things and interract story wise. It helps if you can post on a semi-regular basis though that isn't a requirement. Anyway, looking forward to another character if you do join!

@Kel.

I'm liking those Krogan.

They sound like a bunch of grumpy old men. More sick of each others company, but resigned to it than they are the war.

Good, good. I'm glad (sent you a PM by the way)

Favorite H's Arkeer will get all the krogan spotlight, as the only writer krogan, but these other krogan NPCs, you know, there to provide entertainment. The old Warlord, by the way, is....really old.

This. If there's any need for another character, I got one. If not I'll just continue being a silent reader.

Looking forward to more characters!

Scene's that have no place in the main. BUT HERE IT IS ANYWAY!!!! YAAAAAH!

Liara cracked her knuckles and regarded the empty box. The chain's had been snapped and small holes had been seemingly punched through the reinforced casing. As she watched, the front slowly tilted over and clattered to the floor, whereupon the rest of the box collapsed in on itself.

Vega walked in at that moment. He looked at the box. “Damn”. He said. “Didn't you lock Shepard in there”?

“Yes”. Liara replied. “Suffice to say he somehow gnawed through the steel cable I tied him him up with before I put him inside”.

Vega pursed his lips, held his breath for a moment. Then just let it out shaking his head. “Baller. Total Baller. I heard something about Thanix Missiles earlier. Guess the commander's getting closer to his showdown huh”.

“Then it's up to us to stop him”. Liara grabbed a metal crowbar from nearby and threw it to Vega. “We're picking up follower's in the London RPG thread. Shepard clearly thinks this threads about him. We have to find him and beat him unconscious before he ruin's everything”.

“There has to be something more we can do”.

“Your right. He escaped the box. Clearly we cannot underestimate him. Round up everyone not in Shepard’s squad”.

Vega blinked. “But.... What about the evac scene? That's hard enough to explain without all of us climbing on board”.

Liara crossed the distance and poked Vega in the chest. “Never. Mind. The detail's”! She growled out. “We either stop Shepard or slow him him down. The thread must continue! The writer's aren't done with it yet”.

Vega scratched his head. “Well..... I really do wanna find out if Rea and Rothan hook up, yah know”?

Liara stepped back with a smile. “And I want to see what happens to Arkeer. He's not out of this yet”.

Vega nodded. “Yeah! And that crazy blue bombshell squad. Those Artemis chicks”.

“And Wyld. And Zia. And Naomi? How's that going to work out”?

Vega nodded with renewed enthusiasm. “Yeah! Let's rope Wrex into this! Think he survived Virmire..... He'll be up for it”!

Liara grinned. “Alright. Let's round up a posse and rope up a Shepard”!

Name: Emily de la Valette

Race: Human

Age: 26

Gender: female

Sexuality: (covertly) Lesbian

Anything Special?: Has to secretly take antidepressants.

Family: No siblings, a Girlfriend in Zuerich, Switzerland, but no contact since the Reaper-invasion
Likes: Mechanical ingeneering, especially around the 18th and 19th century and the equivalent of the other race's achievements, that could be put into that timeframe. Philosophy, thoughtful people and the Quarians, although she can't really explain why, if asked.

Dislikes: People, who think very highly of themselves, big social events and shallow conversations. Last but not least her parents, who put her through an ordeal, to achiever their own goals through their daughter.

Personality: A nearly hopeless cynic and skeptic, although sometimes the long lost idealism shines through. Reserved and hard to approach, many people thinks she is arrogant, but once you get to know her you will find a golden heart and a good friend under a crust of cynicism and restrained rage, with a brutal scence of humor.

History: Born into a lower middleclass family living in Saint Rémy de la Provence as an only child, her parents forced her to begin an academic career. Her last name is the only reminder of her family's long forgotten greatness, as they were nobles during the french monarchy.
From early on she had to fight for her freedoms, because for her family only her career was important, not the desires of a normal girl and later teenager. During her teenage years she found out that she felt drawn towards girls, but kept it a secret, because of her parents. At the age of 16 her parents wanted her to go to the grissom academy, but she was rejected, her marks weren't good enough for the academy's requirements. After that she had a mental breakdown and had to be treated in a psychiatric environment and was diagnosed with middle to severe depression. During that time her cynicism developped, making her a hard to look through person.

She then left her parents and joined the military, keeping her illness a secret. She became an engineer, specializing in drones and turrets and fell in love with shotguns. She was promoted early on and was in the alliance-team, that secured the colony on Horizon after the Collector attack. They were surprised by a few Husks and Scions, that were left behind. During this fight her Captain fell, making her the team leader. She lost a great number of them, but with a remarkable act of heroism, she managed to drag five soldiers into safety.

She then was put forward to join the N7 program, which she accepted. With a great act of will, she achieved her goal, becoming one of those special forces soldiers, not the best one, but fairly average. She then was transferred to London, were two days after her arrival the Reapers attacked.

RP Sample: She was sitting on her bed, after having taken a shower, in the barracks. Flicking through her new book, about bycicles of the 20th century (she allways bought books, if available), suddenly the alarm went off. Surprised by this and thinking it will be an exercise, she grabbed her gear and joined her colleagues. There was a short breafing, without any necessary details, leaving her feeling unprepared for whatever attacked earth. They got into the shuttle and took off. After around two minutes they were shot down. After the impact, she blacked out, for how long she did not know, but after she woke up again, she was the only survivor of the crash, where she with horror starred at the big insect like machines, which were devastating London. Once again, she felt forsaken by the rest of the galaxy, as she felt during her adolescence. She tried to calm herself down, which partially succeeded, grabbed her shotgun and ran into the next house. She knew that this was going to be a hard, long and brutal fight, but she fought such battles before.

Welcome Emily :D

Hope you stay in this. And sounds like Bastion could be just the place for Emily. A place where reapers never venture, beer flows in rivers and sexual preferences are diverse.

Besides being straight is awkward acording to this story ;)

Well, Wyld's not entirely sure on her whole orientation thing right now. Late bloomer and all.

And all it took was the end of days for her to finally ask that question of herself.

Anywho, Bastion's kind of the hub world after the first one got killed by a Reaper landing on top of it.

So we're being a little more careful with how we take of this one. Losing one camp to a Reaper is unfortunate. If we lost a second, that would be careless!

Incidently, Bastion's a hazy sketch of a camp right now so that if we need something that is needed in the story, then it's always been there and ready to be used. It just needs a description sketched so we can add it to our growing list of facilities.

To which I'm considering PMing FF, because with Wyld on her way back, the Zia and Naomi arc will need some care to keep Naomi in the dark about their relationship.

Welcome Emily. Straight? All my characters are Asari. lol.

Oh if you go to Bastion.... Ereba and Shay are kind of a couple. They decided that in the gory mess earlier. You know how relationships formed during crisis times are. Erikka is known as "Easy Erikka". T and Ranassa are free. Just remember, don't ****** off Ranassa.

YES! YES! And When Momma synchronsises her seperate personalities she's got some explaining to do.

She was supposed to come back but the direction of the writing prevented that, she disobeyed for some reason.

And hot footing it through Reaper territory got her shot.

I was meaning to make a sketch of the camp way back but it wasn't convenient then.
I could do it if you want..
