I've gotten Deidrus to get us moving towards Duellos. I'll do the work of building it. There's going to be time in the meanwhile to do things that your character's need to get done in the downtime.
Unless there's any objections I'll move the action along to transiting later on today.... which'll probably be in about ten hours. Just heading for the relay to get to their destination.
Remember it takes about 4 hrs to get to the relay from Omega.
Terca, take whatever time you need.
Meanwhile, regarding the current authors: Gabi (eventually coming back), Jensaarai, Shotgun Julia and RedBelle, and I, it looks like Duellos is on the horizon. If it goes beyond that, there are several character related plot lines that can get pursued:
1) Gabi can have more developed based on his quarian background
2) Vayne has the girl he saved from the Collectors. Let's find out more.
3) Naleena needs things, you know, besides Amazon love. So, these might need some extra people to help get.
4) Jess had a whole entire other ship. And all that comes with it.
5) Of course there's a problem with Earth. Why do you think I keep writing about it?
Then there are the secondary characters too. Anika, loved by anyone with a nervous system, what did happen to her back there when she was younger? And Eteon, sorry...also Terca's character. But let's face it, Eteon is awesome. Dahlia? Srsly do something with that Julia! 
I could introduce like two thousand characters, but I'll hold back to maybe a hundred or so 
Nah, at anytime stuff can get added.
Let's at least agree on stuff and go after it. Is it wrong for me to be a lot less interested in the Collectors right now over character journeys?
Planet Duellos.
Location: Erabus system - Styx Theta Cluster - Attican Traverse
Description: Duellos has been reported to possessing a high localised source of metal's and minerals. Likely due to meteor showers or asteroid impacts based on surface scans that occured over fifty thousand years ago. The planet ecology has slowly brought the planet back into habitable range. The atmosphere is slightly thinner than Earth norms. Strenuous activity outside of climate controlled structures that house atmospheric concentrators is not recommended without some form of rebreather mask or full envirosuit.
Due to council interest the state of the colony has expanded beyond it's original human discovery to the point that all council races have mining rights on the planet. This prevented the human discoverer's from gaining the initial return for surveying the planet. But has resulted in vastly increasing the amount of investment gone into setting up the colony. Expansion of the initial colony was authorised by the council resulting in industry to process the material's before shipping.
Law and order can be difficult to maintain as the prosperity of the colony has attracted the attention of not only honest workers, but also raider's and maruader's. The current security of the colony is owned by a private security firm under the name 'Boysen Tatik Solutions'. They provide the personnel for keeping law and order under the influence of the current presiding Salarian judge, Biggin's Orvis.
Contract worker's are restricted from discussing the mine's by contract and is punishable by long term incarceration and fines against the mining company they are attached to.
The planet has recently seen a church group calling themselves the Drowned Aspire setup on the planet away from the colony. While tolerated, the colony does not condone their presence on the planet. But have not as yet sought to remove them.
Okay. Sounds good.
And in Australia this is the Queen's birthday, or yesterday was.
RB you've got the lead on the Drowned Aspire thing. After this, I've got some plot ideas. Namely what ME2 should have been about.
Yeah, That's from my current ME run. I'm using texmod. Darya Shepard Goes To Virmire.
Take a look. I took pictures.
Oh, WOOBIES FOR WREX!
I has sad 
On moving forward, good. Because stuff gonna happen.
Jensaarai and I are working on a post for a moment in med bay. Because Shep may have killed wrex, but Vayne lives on!
Getting all those screen shots takes work. But that's a great profile of Darya for my avatar.
But then later we took more pictures. More pleasant pictures.
Okay, Dahlia time. Help me out, guys.
Dahlian? I don't know. You have to develop her as a character. She needs tight administration and as she is set up, Naleena is the one to give it to her. I'm not sure what you had planned for her, but I don't know what can really become of her unless Naleena molds her. Otherwise, she'll be a problem. I thought being on a turian ship might detox her some, but apparently she has access in Naleena's room to some addictions. I think you have to come up with some motives for Dahlia and then she might be able to develop into something other than a kind of sidekick.
I probably should have made her a volus. "You're fffffsssst mocking me... Earth clan."
Or perhaps a Hanar: "This one has had it with your solid excrement. Enkindle this."

...you made me a very happy man with these. I've still yet to stop laughing. XD
Guys, fair warnings. Either today or tomorrow I'm landing the Audron on Duellos.
So far the only things to keep in mind is that strenuous activity will require a breath mask. The group will be greeted outside the Audron so if you write about just stepping off and exploring, you'll run into the planet's deputy whose there to eye up all new arrivals.
His names Deputy Daog The Drell 
Julia was working on a conversation with Deidrus that should go up soon and I believe takes place before we disembark. It could happen after, I suppose. I ghosted Deidrus' part of the conversation and did my best to stay in character.
May I recommend we assemble before we disembark somewhere so we all get off together to meet the new lawman. We could discuss how to tackle Duellos in game or here as a meta. Here are a list of things I can think of needing to do:
1) Investigate the Drowned Aspire
2) Find out about the special armor from the facility that, you know, isn't there
3) Go buy stuff. Maybe it is a hub world. The only place you can buy a revolver. Or a Winchester rifle. Or a Mecha steed.
4) Go to the saloon. You know there's a saloon. And everything that comes with it.
5) Rustle some cattle.
I hope the houses on Main streed are not facades. Or if they are, that they come with stuntment falling from the roofs into troughs.
Someone should take the lead as to who to report back to. I personally am thinking of the pirate captain who got us here...
Keep in mind I'm still looking for suggestion's on what to have and put in.
I haven't got any rustling foreplanned. But how about a train hijack?
Okay, you totally asked for it now.....
1) there has to be a gunfight.
2) there should totally be a gravtrain, which might be robbed, however, I am concerned about physics and mechasteeds giving chase. Unless they are rocket mecha steeds. But I think the envelope is pushing way too silly there.
3) There MUST be a saloon and everything that goes with it! I would like to say now that THE SALOON HAS NO CLEAN GLASSES.
4) There need to be some interesting NPCs. Which we all can add and we should all allow each other to write, so we can have some fun.
5) I hope we don't have so much fun we never leave. Because that is entirely possible!
Okay. NPC wise I'm going to add the admin NPC's..... everyone else feel free to add, flavour NPC's. The admin's will basically have authority, the flavours have limited or no authority.
The thing about authority, knowing when not to use it. The security and colony administrators aren't going to crack down every little thing so freedom's will be huge. That said, if thing's start getting a little off base in a huuuuuge way, I might step in with some NPC's to stop World War Duellos from erupting....Which, yah know..... I don't want to say it COULDN'T happen.......
You don't hijack trains. You rob trains.
The saloon needs swinging doors, a piano, wh***s, no clean glasses, Naleena needs to make an entrance. It's the tall asari with the leather duster thing with her boots and all that stuff, and she smokes. She has little cigars, too. I mentioned that several posts back. I think it's time to bring them out.
They're pretty good, too.
Well, yes, we all have our specialties.
Let's see:
1) Naleena would probably beat her opponent with her mind before he knew what hit him
2) Morgan's got that overkill/adrenaline rush thing. If we're talking physical speed
3) Vayne doesn't need to start a fight. Because he's definitely finishing it.
4) Jess would just talk to them so fast they'd shoot themselves (ultimate renegade option on Saren/TIM )
Does that stack up right?
Edit: PS I am going to add main villain NPCs to the character list, if they are important enough.
Yeah, that about does it.
How about a Krogan bartender? We never see them. No one will complain about the dirty glasses. And the ale is urine warm.
You said there's an Asari outpost there? Hmmm.... could be a couple of commandos in the saloon.... you know small galaxy and all that. Ereba and Mirna. Ereba gets into it with the Krogan bartender about a clean glass and head butts him. "Sorry, my dad is Krogan." Then she strokes his head plates. He cleans a glass for her. Pours a drink. And her sergeant pokes her head in "Hey Danri! Get your blue ass out here! We gotta go!"
A krogan bartender is great. But I think the owner of the saloon should be a human named Swearin' Jim!
Cause, well, cause its funny. And Jim would be the kind of *ssh*le smart enought to have a krogan behind the bar at an establishment in the lawless part of town.
How's that sound?
To clarify, Duellos technically has outposts for all council races that are located near to or at the industrial centres. Each industrial centre, barring a few exceptions, is run by the race that owns it. The Asari run a certain kind of processing facility, the Turians another.
The port town where we'll be entering is pretty much the dregs and miner's area. The place where the miner's go to unwind. You may see commando's and Turian and Salarian soldier's there to, but the vast majority are fed up of a dead end assignment where all you have to do is stand watch against the odd bandit.
Totally having a Krogan bartender!
As for the commando's, I'll leave that for other's to be written in. The Sheriff is going to have jurisitiction in the town. Outside town where the mines and industrial complex's is another matter.
Oh, and since it's an out of the way council mining colony..... It has a judge.... A salarian judge Heheheh.
