I've been playing New Vegas to sate my Fallout 4 thirst. I had forgotten how fun it could be.

 

How have thin gs been rp side? Having fun?

[Redbelle]

Now New Vegas..... Is this on PC? And what do I download to make it..... work. Because I've levelled and the level editor refuses to pop up.

[Redbelle]

The car exploded.

 

I don't know why, but I laughed incredibly hard at that.

 

Maybe it's because I just pictured everyone shrugging it off like no big deal.

 

*explosion*

 

*sigh*

 

Not agaaaaaaiiiiin!

I'm hoping it wasn't the intercepter because Anika was leaning against it with nothing but a shield belt on.... If it was...... Daaaaaaaammmmmmmn!

 

I'm hoping it was 'a car' and not 'the car' since I'm taking 'the car' to mean the interceptor Anika and Naleena arrived in.... But since it wasn't name checked as the interceptor......

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

No it wasn't the interceptor. It was Quinn's car.

 

And while that wasn't the intent, think narf, what these people have been through, the sh*t they've seen, and exploding car is nothing. First there were the Collectors, then the Drowned Aspire, then the train robbery, then Jenus blew up the Nova Dawn building on Illium, then taking back the Medusa, then there was that battle on Omega, then Naleena gets hold of some octanitrocubane which makes a few pounds of Semtex look like a firecracker and blows up a building. So a car exploding, pfft. This assassin just p*ssed them off.

I found this tribute to Chasing Spectres on Youtube... I mean... just think back... to all.... the explosions....

 

Spoiler

[TheMajonese]

I guess I missed most of the explosions in CS so far^^ But I have an idea of how looked like.

 

But at least Chasing Spectres got a much better storyline and characters than Transformers...

[Kel Riever]

Not hard...

...even if I do have a base liking for that film for things that go boom.

[TheMajonese]

For things to go boom, I can highly recommend Mad Max - Fury Road. Probably the only movie I ever watched that could benefit from more splatter, but aside from that, the action and explosions were amazing! And it doesn't have this absurd camera change like in Transformers (sorry, I don't like this movie. The first one was nice imo, but after that it got worse every movie^^)

[Cknarf]

They did get pretty bad after awhile. Which one didn't have Megan Fox? Was that the second one? I don't remember, but her replacement chick was fiiiiiiiiiiine.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

I actually haven't seen the Transformers movies. I spared myself the agony. But the explosions clips were good and not done with CGI.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

@ Maj0nese - Houston, we have a problem...

 

 

Centrifugal pseudogravity in use on the Citadel.

 

Dropped objects and persons jumping will fall toward windows. --  in other words, they keep floating away.

 

Quinn jumped.

 

How fast is the Citadel rotating? Well I did the calculations and it's pretty darn fast - 900 km per hour which is necessary to create 1.02 g in the wards. Da thing sheeza spin.

[Kel Riever]

Well, doesn't that depend on where we are?  I thought that was more of a concern in the presidium than the wards.  Dunno.  Cause fiction.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

I think the effect might be less in the wards than in the Presidium due to the rate of spin. It appears that the air on the ward arms is kept in by kinetic barrier. On the Presidium ring by a seal making an artificial sky.

 

Since I'm not a scientist, reconciling this is making my head hurt. So I'm pulling a Walters here and ignoring it for the Rule of Cool.

 

And there could be some "wire-fu" action here.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Gravitationally assisted wire-fu?

 

**** yeah! I'd be down for that.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Yeah, I figure the jumps will be a little longer, that's all. But do you guys realize the Citadel makes a complete revolution every three minutes? Whatever material is holding those arms on is beyond strong. It's ... space magic. I know.... Don't think.... don't think.... stop thinking.  Rule of cool ... rule  of cool.

[Cainhurst Crow]

How does any ship manage to actually dock with those moving platforms?

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Rule of Cool. They would have been better off saying - "It has artificial gravity."

[Redbelle]

If  an object matches the rotation that relative takes over and there's no stress to the station arm. Because the energy needed to transfer energy to get the object up to speed is effectively nil

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

I PM'd maj0nese. This might not be over. I'm leaving it up to him. How fast is Quinn?

[Kel Riever]

I'm impressed by Quinn.  I hope Maj0nese has a way for her to be captured and/or a way out of this that makes everyone look semi decent.

[TheMajonese]

Wow, that scene got out of hand very quickly  I actually just wanted her to steal one of the C-Sec cars to start a nice old-fashioned car chase that ended with her getting somehow away. The plan was to make this as short as possible while at the same time give everyone a chance to react. The reason she seems impossible to catch is because I want to introduce a character with similar abilities/equipment as an actual opponent (much, much later in the story) and Quinn was supposed to be some sort of teaser for that.

 

 

 

Hm...There is possibly one huge problem for me with writing that scene. But first, let's see how it turns out before I can say more.

 

And here is that problem I mentioned a week ago; I already wrote most of the upcoming dialogue between Arian and Quinn, it's mostly just info dump I don't really know how to make it intersting, however it's quite a lot. It still could use some edit, but it's already a sh*tload of text. I began to write all this immediately after Arian passed out in that alleway and to be honest, I didn't expect any reaction from Team Sushi or anyone else of the Janiri. I actually thought that they wouldn't even notice that he was missing until he returned. Well, despite being unplanned, it actually was really cool to see a reaction at all (besides; still best team name ever!) but then I got carried away with everything. I guess it's best to just end this scene as soon as possible, but there another issue; 

 

In this upcoming dialogue, Quinn wasn't captured and she and Arian are still in her hideout   No, wait the actual problem is this: I won't/can't go and just completely rewrite this text I already finished, because it took me hours to write everything. It already takes me ages just to write this text where I try to explain everything and apologize for this mess. It's not because of the length of the text, it's because of the language.

 

I guess I should have told you that I already have most of it finished BEFORE everything else happened, but I had hoped that it wouldn't be necessary because I thought it would be just lame to say "you can't catch her anyway because she already has an appointment in my next postings", so I'm sorry for this.

 

And I could still let her pull something out of nowhere and then get away like "just got lucky here" (okay, I already tried that during the first encounter with Team Sushi, but they still managed to track her down) but not without explaining the reason for me to do this and wait for a reaction from everyone involved.

[Kel Riever]

So let's do that Maj0nese, that's what is great about talking about it here.  Let's say Quinn gets away, we just have to figure out how.  It should make a little sense, and take advantage of aspects of the scene.  Maybe it doesn't leave the team thinking they failed, but that Quinn is simply good at what she does.  Conversely, Quinn can count herself quite lucky for getting away, and consider a newfound respect for some grade A opponents out there.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Now what you can do is have Quinn kick the gun out of Naleena's hand.

 

Quinn's mistake was going in the four story building and firing at her car. If she had stayed put in her apartment which I'd imagined was a good quarter mile away, or three blocks, the search would have been called off since they thought she would be in one of those three apartment hi-rises. They would have lost her. But she came out and shot. When she did that, Naleena is a 350 year old assassin and very observant, so she saw from where it came.

 

I had Naleena carry the idiot ball here because Naleena likes to use guns instead of biotics - she's weird that way and perfectly in character. I left you an opening. She could have gone "stasis," and it would have been over, and it would have been bad writing. But it is not over. Be creative here. The canopy on the interceptor is open and it's the fastest car in the lot.

 

And it's okay if you need to tell me via PM -- I need for Quinn to get away. I'd read between the lines and figured that, but when she fired and came out taunting, I figured you didn't want her to get away. It was a mixed message.

[Redbelle]

Plus, you know.... Naleena's girlfriend is watching. Of course Naleena's going to go the badass route and maybe not check the situation out before hand

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Which is exactly what she did. Gotta show off to Anika what a badass she is and get her ass kicked.
