Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

Ptak grins tightly at Lt. Commander Gupton's comment, "I don't think we're at the point where we need to consider pegging our small-craft at our enemies just yet, Commander," Donna pauses for a moment and murmurs, apparently to herself, "Though it is an interesting idea." Ptak turns and looks over t...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (OOC)

*head-desk* Yep...that's probably something an XO should know :roll: (something I should know too, given that I distinctly remember reading that...ah well, perhaps I need more coffee...or less) I'll fix up Donna's comment later though, I'm a little busy right now. Edit: Post is fixed, Ptak now sound...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

Donna looks over to the young Lieutenant and nods, "Thank you, Lieutenant." She then looks back to the data files displayed on her console, "Aside from Pure Wind's interceptors neither of our ships have weapons that'll reliably hurt that ship at anything beyond knife-fighting range." Looking back up...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

Commander Donna Ptak had spent much of the last watch in her rack. Having woken up in preparation for the new 'day', she was still in the small shower attached to her quarters, rank having some privelages, when the GQ alarm started sounding and the alert came over the ship's intercom. "General quart...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

Gautreau grips Salehi's hand and gives it a shake, "Agreed Ensign, three days coffee rations it is." He turns and walks away, but after a few steps he looks over his shoulder, "I hope, for your sake and ours, that you find a city to two down there." Winking, Gautreau adds, "I've heard rumours of wha...

Re: Page 87

From what I remember reading about the Umiak's relationship with the Loroi before the war broke out, I would have to say that they're probably very good liars. They were supposedly planning to attack the Loroi from the moment they first met, but managed to interact and trade with them for some time...

Re: Page 87

I wonder just how unpleasant 'direct action which is abnormal' is... Its also interesting that whatever the Umiak were up to in addition to the original ambush doesn't take precedence over finding out what the Bell is (the sheer number of heavy units suggests, to me at least, that they had more in m...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

"Ahh Ensign," Gautreau chuckles, "I don't think it would be best to deprive the ship of your skills in that regard. A weeks coffee ration on the other hand..." Gautreau waves his hand, "But perhaps you would not wish to risk so much; I know how you love your morning pick-me-up. However, if you want...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

Donna listens to Gautreau's answer to Ensign Salehi's excited statement. "Perhaps, Ensign. The planet's atmosphere suggests that it either had a biosphere before it was ejected from it's original system or someone attempted to terraform it here, whether it was the Soia or not I cannot say. Assuming ...

Re: Page 86

I don't think they're fighting anyone else, at least, not in the Naam system (no idea what's on the other side of Umiak space though...) I think its just saying that the Umiak Hierarchy wants to communicate with the 'Enemy forces' (the Loroi) using the trade bandwidths (probably employed for trading...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (OOC)

Sorry about the long delay...it occurred mostly because I'm an idiot :oops:

I used 80BF00 for Nelson if anyone want to speak as him. Just tell me to change it if its too close to another character's colour.

Re: Page 85

Technological generations are a pretty fluid term, really. Today we have 5th Generation fighters and 7th Generation game consoles...and I don't recall hearing of people playing Pong in 1900. :P And while I wouldn't expect to see purely human designed/built ships able to go toe-to-toe with Loroi/Umia...

Re: Page 85

Discretion is definitely looking to be the better part of valour now ;)

And Arioch, not to nit-pick or anything, but I noticed a typo in Beryl's third speech bubble in the second pannel...you've added an extra 'u' to confounded.

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (IC)

Finding nothing suspicious about the exterior of the central part of the station, and after hearing through his link to the boarding party that the station appears to be devoid of opponents, Wolfe decides to leave Alpha 2 and Bravo 2 in their patrol and carefully guides his fighter towards the Bridg...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (OOC)

Perhaps we could take on some extra characters, do what some of us have done in the other RP: have a main character, but also run a couple other more minor characters to keep things moving and not have icekatze buried under the work of writing for a dozen semi-significant NPC's. As for explosions......

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)

Sorry I haven't logged in for a while...the Easter/ANZAC Day extra-long-weekend (5 days ftw 8-) ) has been a doozy :D I'm beginning to wonder about the fuel status of Wolfe's fighters, endlessly circling the station probably isn't a great idea if they've got less than 50% or so ;) Also: Any word on ...
