@RedBelle:  I think the pin is a bit OP too, BUT seriously, its function you don't have to worry about storywise, let me assure you.  Here, look, the train went on alert, assume word was sent to the base about the attack but the response is the same.  Julia and I were talking (mostly about Xanthe) but the idea here is that Xanthe is still not going to get to the train in time unless something really goes wrong with the pickup and it takes a lot of time.

 

Now I know all you smooth operatives out there know that can't possibly happen right?

 

But here's the deal....Xanthe won't beat the players to the extraction because she got word from Naleena.  Xanthe would only beat the players to the extraction if the whole thing goes very wrong on the time scale. So you don't need the special pin

[Terca]

Would the sortie from the base make it though? Fighters would travel much more quickly though I don't know if they would want to engage the ship right over their comrades.

[Redbelle]

Okay, okay I'll take out the pin.

 

But it was the mightiest of mightest of pins.....

 

Like He-Pin!

 

Anyway. The pin wasn't intended to change anything in the sequence of how event's play out. It just appeared when I put Anika's 'I can't believe she just betrayed the group like that', moment.

 

Because yes. Anika is really mad right now and without the pin.... it's got nowhere to go but for her to sit and stew.

 

I mean... Jess the engineer. The Pirate. The one who works all the angles......

 

<sniff> Goodbye fare pin!

[Kel Riever]

Fare pin. Does it take money?

 

You know I anxiously away the Captain Stone post RedBelle.  Don't you let these woes slow you down!

[Terca]

'Twas a good pin while it lasted.

[Redbelle]

Though thinking about it... VERA could always tightbeam a signal to leave Naleea an 'out' for putting the group in the Asari crosshairs.

[Kel Riever]

This is why Jess gets tied to beds by Anika.  She spends too much time thinking about the things that aren't the mission.

 

Focus!  

 

(I hope you realize I am saying that while laughing over here....)

So could someone help me do a post with dealing with the front car/engine room? I'm not very good at npc writing and I figured they'd have some reaction to a shuttle pulling up next to them and lobbing grenades on their front.

[Cknarf]

So, Frank's chilling on the Audron until Eteon finds the right car.

But how exactly is he getting down?  I don't know how well he would handle the rappel lol.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Jump on our shuttle, surf it down.

[Terca]

You'll be able to get down. The Audron can hover low to the cars so he won't need to jump a long distance or anything. Eteon went down first because she's prone to just doing things and she needs to be down when Red complete their part.

[Kel Riever]

@CKnarf, yeah, basically he's just jumping down onto the train normally off the rear ramp of the Audron with Deidrus, who also will make sure he doesn't fall or somesuch.  The train is slowing, making that less of a factor. 

 

@Jensaarai:  Well, Julia was mentioning by PM that the engineer is a salarian and the fireman is a turian.  Let's also say there's one nameless commando in the engine cab with them.  I have a few things to write so I'll be busy with that, but don't worry about the npc writing...do what you can.  Nobody's grading you and we all enjoy reading it no matter what!

 

I'll post more asari stuff in about 1 hour from now.

[Cknarf]

Got it.  Kel, I'll follow your lead.  Still at work...

[Redbelle]

Anika's gone from angry to panicking about the Asari response rolling in.

[Kel Riever]

SJ:  60 seconds is way too short for intercept.  But Xanthe can call the Audron.

 

I'm sure the message will totally get through in time before nothing else happens

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Okay you have two minutes. Those fighters are flying not flying at sub sonic speeds. We're talking around mach 2.5. In reality it shouldn't even be a minute.

[Kel Riever]

I've already timed it.  Those fighters should be there in 15-17 minutes.  Go with my timeline please. Plot.  Also follow what Morgan is saying on the train if you would.  Otherwise you're dictating that the train can't be seized.

[Terca]

Eh? Eteon is waiting because she has to wait for the gas to fill the chambers. She might go over to the already filled one and hop through though. In the meantime she's trying to see if something is up that she can tell.

[Cknarf]

Okay, I'm home.  I can now direct my attention towards a post.  I'm a little mixed up, I've been reading bits and pieces throughout the work day.  Give me a little time and I'll get something together.

[Terca]

Alrighty, welcome back to the game. Also for the sake of tension and Eteon's growing exasperation Ambiance Removal did nothing

[Kel Riever]

Frank...all frank has to do right now is attach a safety rope and get to the car couplings from below.  The train is over a chasm, so don't fall, well that's why he has attached rope.  There are probably handholds for maintenance going alongside the car for climbing to the roof so he can use those to get down the side.  Then he has to get to the rail.  The stopped train will be hovering over the track, which is wide enough for him to work, but not fool around on.

 

@Terca: You have your info by PM

[Terca]

"I was told not to play dice with god, for he knew all outcomes before the roll came,

and all doubles were his to have with certainty.

To that I replied,

If god may now the rolling of die he is no more a slave to chance than I,

for his greatest torment would be to know that all the knowledge in the world,

may not influence the mighty chance."

 

When I find things which are interesting but meaningless I feel the need to share them. Today, you people are the ones who get to live with it

[Kel Riever]

Discrepancy in time is over.  This will be handled through the power of role-playing.  

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Okay, the edits are over. I was just making grammatical clarification to clarify the intent of what I had drafted.

[Kel Riever]

I have to go for now.  The writing is fast and furious.  TBH its outpacing some people possibly, like RedBell who probably won't be able to write for the next 8-10 hours or something like that. 

 

All I ask is two things, if you would.  Spare the asari combat, if there is going to be any, until later tonight or something, and/or I don't mind at all if the lift is cleared and good to go, but please don't lift the car off the tracks yet.
