Maj, see your PM. You can get in on this conversation with Arian if you want. Hey, it's a scene and it's better than standing around. You can even add that he's glaring at people - it's  better than nose talk. But if  he has any opinions we'd like to hear them.

@ Cknarf: This is for Frank

Spoiler

 

[Redbelle]

All that last post needs is a "WHO'S THE DADDY NOW"!!!

[Kel Riever]

Well, all I have to say, Julia, is yeah, the post that went up?  That was the PM from Cknarf before...basically, well, your video.

And I think we know who's gonna be the daddy

Anyway, now to write the up to date scene on this thing...Hoooo boy...here we go...

[Redbelle]

I wrote a scene for the penthouse rooftop..... but didn't get it in in time.... So here it is in all it's glory.....

 

How it could have been.

 

As Anika advanced she saw signs of a struggle. The rain made it hard to see but wisps of smoke and what looked like the flash freeze ice of a weaponized local temperature disruptor were evident on the cop as he finished his frisk and then roughly took Franks head and smacked it against the cabin. "WHO'S IN CHARGE NOW EH COWBOY"? He roared as he pressed Frank hard against the bodywork of the car. Satisfied he had under control he turned around. "As for you whoever you....". And stopped as he saw a white towering wall of armor advancing towards him who seemed to cast a light around around itself in the sudden gloom of the rain filled skies.

 

Anika saw that he had seen her. Saw him tense up and saw the gun on his belt. Saw Frank's body and the abuse the officer had meted out to their driver and didn't hesitate.

 

She charged him. One hand reaching forward to grab a hold of his neck, the other snagging his hand that had just gone for his gun and hoisted him up into the air before swinging him around like a rag doll on wires and walked to the edge of the building. With no hesitation she lifted him over the safety rail and let go of his hand, slapping it away quickly to grab his gun that she dropped on the floor by her before spinning him around to grab his ankle before letting go of his neck. Leaving his torso to swing like a pendulum as Anika stood, one foot on the safety rail, looking down at him as he hung suspended on top of the penthouse floor of the building.

 

"WHO ARE YOU"!!! Anika's voice boomed out as the officer's arms waved wildly about, trying to snag hold of anything within reach but finding nothing. "WHO ARE YOU"!!!

[Kel Riever]

OH GAWED!  Next time just lemme know RedBelle!  We can coordinate stuff......Okay, since you posted that short thing, Ima gonna go and post mine next.  I'll wait for you to respond after soes I don't stuff that next post of yours.

I don't like stuffing the creativity.

Edit:  Okay stopping my post until RedBelle and or CKnarf can respond to that scene.

[Cainhurst Crow]

lol

 

Team Earth: So what'd you guys do?

 

Team Garvug: We negotiated a temporary peace between a krogan warlord, vorcha presdient, and a bunch of corproations. You guys?

 

Team Earth: Frank fought the power.

[Redbelle]

Frank fought the law and the.... law won!

[Cknarf]

He's totally filing a lawsuit.

 

"So you're saying he just started beating your ass?"

 

"That's right your honor. I simply asked that he kiss it, and he just lost it. I don't know what's wrong with this guy, but he really shouldn't have access to a badge, let alone a firearm."

 

-------------------------------------

 

I'll try to weasel out a post real quick.

[Cknarf]

Never mind. No time. Please, continue lol.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

I'm back, and once JB replies, I'll have another one dropping on Garvug.

 

My golf game sucks.

[Cknarf]

Yeah... I went to the golf course once.

 

Banned for life.

 

I still had a good time, though,

[Kel Riever]

Nice.  And why is that so you?

Spent a lot of time looking for images to put up for the penthouse.  Nothing made me happy.  45 minutes older with no result!

[Cknarf]

Found one.

@Jensaarai:  Just for story purposes, I see you have the carrier trained on the Medusa, trying to get it to comply.  I had written, on a whim really, that basically the carrier had as much firepower as the Medusa (something like a cruiser) but was defensive and basically shorter range.  If that's different, please let me know.  Babe basically was giving an honest assessment of the firepower of the cruisers and carrier to Jess and I'll put in in her dialogue if things are different than I'd imagined.

NY is getting ugly fast.

Well, here's the thing. The Paz Systems not that big.

 

 

I figured that it'd be capable of targeting the medusa due to the proximity. To make it easier though, I'd say the carrier moved a bit closer to just bring the medusa in range, so its now no longer hovering above the planet, but in now exiting out of garvugs orbit. Expect cluster fucks. Though technically speaking, according to mass effect 2 there's no range limit at all for any ship.

 

[Kel Riever]

Yes, LORE BREAKER COMBO.  Because, of course, according to the journal going back to ME1, ships have range, that's why dreadnoughts engage each other first in combat, and then the smaller ships come later.

Dear BioWare, use Mass Effect wiki at least!

I always went with ME1.  It just made a lot more sense.  No need to argue, presumably the ship is in range   Babe will, you know, 'correct' the assessment, so to speak when I get the chance.

Look, realism is already out the window, so I go with what makes the best story.  Because realistically, all the Reapers need to do is drag asteroids into planets to cause mass extinction.  And that would be that.

How dreadfully unfulfilling!

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Ships can engage each other (dreadnoughts) at 10,000 km. Now let's look at how far that is. That's the distance from Lisbon to Shanghai as the crow flies. In other words the chances of scoring a hit are pretty small. You can't "eyeball it" plus these targets are not standing still lined up like 18th century soldiers taking turns shooting each other. So we must close distance to something more reasonable.

 

Let's say from Chicago to NYC or 1100 km. That's still a long way. But the projectiles are fired at about 10% the speed of light. Instrument locks? I'd say this would be practical engagement distance. Also dreadnoughts and carriers are about 1 km long according to lore. These ships will stay back. Cruisers will be more toward the front. And Frigates fight in wolf-packs, and are fast-attack vessels.

 

The carrier would launch a squadron of fighters and have them on standby. However, Babe should be able to give it a bloody nose if they get too close and attack. The Medusa does not want to engage the Carrier. The Janiri however, would come to the rescue of the Medusa. A thanix hit from that ship, while it would not destroy the carrier, it would not be pretty.

 

Also large ships like that carrier and the cruisers do not have Silaris armor. However, if they went high budget, the fighters might.

[Kel Riever]

Backspace disaster.  Starting over.  give me another 20 minutes.  This only happens because of this website.  I can't tell you....

I'm not.  Starting again.

[Cknarf]

I know you're in a special situation 'cause of your work computer, but there's this extension or app or something that I found for Chrome, assuming you guys use it, that keeps it from doing that goofy sh*t.

[Cknarf]

Oh, god. Oh god, oh god!

 

*frantic arm flailing*

 

Brb, temporarily quitting job to respond.

[Redbelle]

Sooo, we have two cops and three guards who are all bad guys now?

[Kel Riever]

Its two cops and two guards, yes, they're bad.  Take em down.  The one, Richards, is under Molly.

Really, you can wreck them as you see fit.

[Redbelle]

So, being a Yakuza limo and seeing how gunshots are a thing, most have a small med couch in the back with a medical VI that will assist with emergency first aid. Basic stuff meant to stabilise someone till they can be taken to a medical professional who doesn't ask to many questions.

 

I imagine the VI to be a cute inappropriately polite avatar asking what kind of treatment plan is wanted while thanking the user for using it's manufacturers hardware.
