Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

Yeah, that last is true. And it is not for 100% sure that they operate it actively. That would be mentioned somewhere. I think it is somewhere grounded (better said orbited as I think it cant land at the planet without infrastructure)

Ok so I missed that entry here. Too much going on seems to have been buried

I edited my post please do the same.

I figured I’d just point it out, as it did look that way.

VodanOh please. How long is this bickering phase going to take?

DO SOMETHING!

Tomorrow. Or on Sunday. Two stubborn people with two completely different viewpoints don't usually settle on something common quickly... (it's more likely Kira will do what she cares anyway, because this wasn't going to find a resolution)

Or next week. Just make it brutally annoying for them because clearly they don't understand what happens during a true planning phase. There are always two people who can't agree on the color of grass. Been in enough convoy planning and route plotting to know that sometimes unless someone walks away nothing will happen.

None of this felt like a planning phase to begin with, but Venus deciding that there is only one way and that way has to be the way. Which is then pushed on the other two.

But what do I know. Kira will return with the data next time, and it might make her trigger happy on a certain transport vessel before it gets to land(if she can ensure that it has, in fact, not landed yet). To avoid any chance of Diaz committing the handover while our trio of misfits is stuck fighting goons.

I mean it was kind of planning. Like I once watched an argument much like that one happen over a 2 hour period then our platoon commander was like ok meet up time is at 0230. We all looked at eachother like what the fuck just happened.

Military story time, I guess? Not a particular experience I can relate to irl. Of all the career paths, I don’t think I’d do particularly well as a soldier.

(I’m neither much of a planner, nor would I be particularly interested in any sort of command role. Reflected in Kira as well - the preference is distinctly toward ‘Get told where to go and what to point the gun at’. And don’t make her try to be diplomatic… that would be the worst incident of the century waiting to happen.)

Remind me who ‘Aventus’ is? I don’t think I have read all of the (older) logs relating to the current events. If that name/individual was ever even mentioned.

And I’m not sure 6 FDLs are still going to do a whole lot more than play bait for a short time.

Old friend of Venus. Saved her once in the same log I tagged. Kind of just a random npc I made. The FDL are there for exactly that play bait take the heat off the three main people to get on the ship.

Can we be sure Diaz has no other tricks up his sleeve? Unless his crew scampers off or stands down if/when he is taken out of the picture.

(I highly doubt they would.)

12 Aug 2023, 3:59pm

No tricks planned. He is likely to just be a pain to deal with.

Doing this RP stuff and poking Thargoid controlled systems around a Maelstrom for the barnacle matrix sites is… interesting, let’s just say.

(I’m pretty sure they’ve all been found already, but I’m just being thorough, while stopping at least some of the time at known ones to gather the weird coral sap stuff.)
