I had envisaged a typical 5-seat arrangement with the storage section behind them. Otherwise they would probably be stopped for not having seatbelts...

Ryudo Lee · December 28, 2007, 09:01:45 AM

I was thinking the same thing as Arc about the vans.

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 28, 2007, 10:02:27 AM

Painted black, like the helicopters? Or are we more subtle than that? ;-]

Ryudo Lee · December 28, 2007, 10:12:00 AM

No, more like they look like old vans that have seen better days on the outside and on the inside they're mobile command centers.

So the people in the back would be in the chairs? In that case, Jexx would be pointing at a big rack of very expensive equipment. Either way, I think we're arguing about minutiae. For the purposes of what Dorcan is doing, the fact that he's likely to win at arm-wrestling Jexx is more important than what he was aiming at.

I'm still curious how he's going to react to Dorcan doing that, since AFAIK he's never, ever lifted a hand against anyone in the rebellion until this point.

There had been a point, a few minutes ago, when the doberman had almost confessed his cybernetic nature. But from the other's reaction it seemed such things were taboo in this place. Better to keep it under wraps. But eventually the others would put the pieces together, and he would have to stay alert for that day.

Heh heh, sorry about this Tapes. But, just so you know, my next post is not out of spite of this one, I was planning it for a little bit now.

Nobody in their right mind is going to stop a van driven by a large warbot, no matter the reason.

'nuff said.

Prof B Hunnydew · December 30, 2007, 02:02:07 PM

Indeed... the trials of IT management keep me rather occupied, I shall see about getting this going.

techmaster-glitch · January 01, 2008, 08:01:36 PM

Hey, just a question, but what van did Mister get in?

Ryudo Lee · January 02, 2008, 10:21:59 AM

Whichever one, it doesn't matter. Assume everyone got into the vans.

EDIT:

Set the rating to be PG/14... somewhere between the PG and 14 rating pandas.

Tapewolf · January 03, 2008, 07:36:10 PM

Tech, do you have anything to add or are we ready to cut to the base?

techmaster-glitch · January 03, 2008, 07:44:10 PM

No, not really. I was thinking oh having Jexx sniggering at Dorcan's comment, but not much other than that.
I think we're done.

Azlan · January 03, 2008, 11:00:23 PM

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Okay, so I guess that's it for Exo's van. Is the cut to base something for Ryudo or Arc to do?
And was the plan to wait until everyone was ready and cut, or is it going to happen in sequence, e.g. Exo's van arrives, then Morgans...

Ryudo Lee · January 04, 2008, 09:06:35 AM

If everyone's ready to change the scene to the base, then I'll make the transition. The only ones I'm unsure about are Arc, lucas and PBH.

lucas marcone · January 04, 2008, 10:43:21 AM

im good.

Prof B Hunnydew · January 05, 2008, 12:30:59 PM

Hey sorry I posted IC to go on...

PBH

Tapewolf · January 07, 2008, 09:18:55 AM

I guess we're waiting on Arc, then?

Ryudo Lee · January 07, 2008, 09:19:38 AM

Yep. Forever waiting for Arc. Story of our lives.

EDIT:
Edited the first post to include character list.

Know what would be helpful? To be able to get a list of all the posts made by one person in a particular thread. Just putting that out there.

Tapewolf · January 07, 2008, 10:05:19 AM

I see you have added the past and present cast lists. Handy.

erm. advanced search, title, username ?

Edit:
Nope. Hmm. Yeah, good point, but I don't think we can manage it. Or, rather, I think we can manage the search, but not the results. At least, not without breaking the forum badly. :-/

Prof B Hunnydew · January 08, 2008, 09:13:55 AM

If we read Arc's last post rightly , he is good to the base... we could go on

PBH

Ryudo Lee · January 08, 2008, 09:33:44 AM

Then that's how I'll take it.

Moving on...

Tapewolf · January 08, 2008, 12:12:51 PM

It's not entirely clear to me if we're supposed to go into the armoury itself and no further, or hand in the weapons and go straight to the warehouse in a single leap. Obviously if something odd is due to happen when the weapons are handed in, it's probably not the idea to mention it in passing and then skip ahead, which my original post did...

Ryudo Lee · January 08, 2008, 02:15:04 PM

Paranoid players... I swear.

Nothing's going to jump out at you here since you're in the rebellion HQ. If there was, I'd make some kind of hint at it. Everything going on right now can be taken at face value safely.

Actually it started out as padding because 'Dorcan did just as he was told.' was kind of pointless as a post

Then I began to wonder if there was a reason you didn't just move us all to the briefing room...

In any case, I've reverted it back to its original intent, i.e. moving Dorcan to the briefing room.

Ryudo Lee · January 10, 2008, 09:43:08 AM

We're just waiting on Arc to make a post. Though I doubt he'll have anything to contribute to the armory.

I've been playing around with an idea for something as an aside to the primary goal (stopping the Brotherhood) that would probably interest some of you, so I'd like to get an opinion from you guys. I've been playing around with the idea of having pre-apocalypse ruins being situated around the world. Of course the rebellion would have an interest in them, for the sake of preservation of history, and protecting them from the Brotherhood, since they are from the magic-era, the Brotherhood would want to destroy them. So the rebellion would be excavating the ruins, and maybe find something of interest in them. Just something to give the world more substance, y'know? What do you guys think of that?
