Brotherhood of the Machine (OOC Thread) {03}

[Lisky]

drivers and Exo, i beleive that's it... unless you plan on throwing in more trouble between leaving and getting to the rebel base

[Tapewolf]

Alright, so what are we waiting on here?

1. Exo to agree to Dorcan's plan since he retains overall command
2. Any volunteer drivers from the troops
3. Any objections or comments on his plan

EDIT:
Note that Dorcan has set a three-minute time limit for 2 and 3.  In the absence of 2, Dorcan intends to link the two unpiloted vehicles to two driven ones.  But ultimately he's waiting for Exo's take on the situation.

What makes you think I would do a thing like that?



So we're waiting on Arc again.  *Attaches a PM to a dart and throws it in Arc's general direction*

[Tapewolf]

I guess, unless Exo has anything to say to Jexx, we're pretty much ready to move out.

[Tapewolf]

Are we waiting on anyone?

[Arcalane]

Godot, perhaps?

[Ryudo Lee]

Perhaps we should do a transition back to the base.  Does anyone have anything else to do at this point?

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Definite no for me, unless someone wants to initaite a conversation with Fet. Until he knows better where he stands, he won't start one on his own.

[Lisky]

um, i'm under the impression everyone is setup to transition, and if not, they can always do what me and azzy did where we used OOC notes to show the timeframe

[techmaster-glitch]

I got nothing to say, I think.

[Tapewolf]

I'm ready to transition.

[Ryudo Lee]

Bas, they're moving Darkshine to be checked out by a psychic to ensure that he's not a Brotherhood spy.  If you're not hiding something, then you'll rejoin the group after their debriefing.

Fet is going to get a full medical examination and also be checked out by a psychic and will rejoin the group after the debriefing.

[Tapewolf]

Slight question about timing... it makes sense that the main convoy would arrive roughly together, but Exo and Jexx have taken the "scenic route".  Are we assuming that they'll arrive later?  If they arrive very late, Darkshine and Fet will have already been checked out by the time the main team is reassembled for the briefing.


EDIT:
Actually, I'll ask that in-character.

[Azlan]

My posting is going to be a bit slow for a bit.  One quick thing, I seem to be rather forgettable, but it might be good if someone carries Morgan off to the infirmary... it would seem rather rude to have him use his own medical insurance and have to head off into town to check into a public hospital.

[Ryudo Lee]

I think it's safe to assume that Morgan is among the injured who was taken to the infirmary by the medics.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Going to my grandparents for Pesach, might not be able to write much for the next few days. I should be back on RFriday at the latest.

[techmaster-glitch]

Gods damn it! Jexx finally gets some real action, and it's all offscreen!

[Arcalane]

I didn't want to delay things any more than necessary, and running off into a fight scene could have taken a bit too long. Maybe next time, kiddo.

[Tapewolf]

So, I guess Darkshine and Fet are being interrogated/checked out, Dorcan's asking what he's supposed to do with weapons acquired in-mission, Morgan is presumably being treated and Exo and Jexx have just arrived.  Are we waiting on anyone else?

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

what's involved in a psychic examination?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

what's involved in a psychic examination?

Think about it.

[shadowterm]

I am finding myself preoccupied as you've no doubt gathered. I'd like to think that I'll be playing again, but the time isn't now, or even likely to be soon. So, until further notice, I guess you could find a way for my character to drift into the shadows for a while longer.

[Ryudo Lee]

what's involved in a psychic examination?

A drill, some large electrodes, and ten pounds of potato salad. *Nods*

[Tapewolf]

Just so I know, did Dorcan keep his new gun, or was it put in a locker or confiscated or something?

Also, if you don't mind me saying, your post reads a bit like a lead-in to another one of your posts, rather than something we can reply to ourselves.  I'm not entirely sure what to do there, unless you're thinking in terms of a "Dorcan entered the room and sat down quietly" post 

[Ryudo Lee]

When Armstrong first said "you know the drill" he meant for you to drop off your equipment with the quartermaster.

And to your second comment, yes.  I want to get everyone to gather in the briefing room.

[Tapewolf]

When Armstrong first said "you know the drill" he meant for you to drop off your equipment with the quartermaster.

Yes, but Dorcan doesn't know the drill for personal weapons.  Handing in the equipment he was issued at the start of the mission, all well and good.  What about the gun that Darkshine gave him from his own personal stash?

[Ryudo Lee]

That will all have to be turned over.  It's the same procedure as when you all came back from the last mission.

[Tapewolf]

I amended my post since you posted.  This is what I added:



In case it sounds like I'm nitpicking, what happened in the armoury will affect Dorcan's behaviour.
1. He might be allowed to keep the gun in the base.  Without checking, I'm, 95% sure that's a no-no from what we've seen so far.  It's certainly not how I'd run a rebel base.

2. If the gun is taken from him and added to the main weapons stock 'for the Good of the Cause', he's liable to sulk.  And be all apologetic when he next runs into Darkshine, because he's effectively been given a weapon and lost it.

3. If the gun is put in storage and he's given a locker ticket or something, he'll be fairly happy about it.  It all depends what the rebel's policy is regarding 'found' weapons. 

4. Obviously if it was Brotherhood tech it'd go straight to the main stock or the labs for analysis, and he'd be reluctant but understanding.

There are also a few other permutations, like they give him a fake ticket to keep him happy and then confiscate the weapon anyhow 
On top of that there are other considerations, e.g. does he need a permit to own the weapon anyway, but that probably is nitpicking.

My personal guess would be (3), that they put it in storage and give him a ticket etc, and that's what I'll assume happened if no-one has any objection.



That certainly rules out (1), what's going to affect Dorcan is whether he gets it back.  Like I say, I'll assume (3) unless otherwise stated.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

ehh, what about Fet's weapons? Darkshine made him impound his, but he got the gloves back when he left the vehicle. Would the medics/psy scanners try to take it? (Fet would not be happy about having his weapon being taken by strangers) would they even recognize it as such? (the psys certainly would at least once they started poking in Fetrethar)

[Azlan]

I don't think Morgan would give up the plasma repeater unless you held him down and pried it from his hands. 

Since he isn't enlisted/commissioned with them, he's an independent contractor, and his contract does not specify to the letter that found weapons and equipment must be given over to the cause (barring mission objectives). 

He would turn in the stuff that was loaned to him though.
