Brotherhood of the Machine (OOC Thread) {03}

[Lisky]

that actually made me consider another question, what did morgan do with darkshine's rifle bag with all the equipment in it?

[Tapewolf]

Sorry Ryudo, I seem to have opened up a big can of worms here 

[Arcalane]

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.

On the other hand, we were instructed to retrieve and hand over as much brotherhood tech as possible, were we not? Whilst we already have one PlasRep (the first that Exo took), a second would probably help speed research efforts.

Also as a reminder, anyone who wants to try and part Exo from that pistol is welcome to try, but I think you'll find practically nobody else can wield it.

[Ryudo Lee]

THANKS A LOT TAPE!

Seriously tho, I guess I should clarify a few things.  If the weapons were issued by the rebels, they go back to the quartermaster.  So Morgan's and Darkshine's guns, as well as Fet's weapons, will get looked at, but not confiscated, unless you guys hand them over.

The only armed people in the rebel base are the guards who are on duty, and there's a fair bit of them.

Sounds good to me.  I'm going to assume Dorcan's got his gun in a storage locker.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Please let me know if any of the liberties I have taken need to be addressed with the layout and the method of the Rebel's base/operations.


Just to clarify (I try to narrate through the character's perceptions, which in this case is a little less than condusive) the medical team would find that Fetrethar is essentially healthy, albiet dirty and lacking in immunization. The latter would be cured, ther former he is instructed to attend to.


As for the psionics, Fetrethar has some undeveloped potential in that arena, so he was able to determine that he was being probed. The memory was an attempt to block reading out behind an unpleasant image. Unless the Rebellion's psychics are incompetant, it wouldn't have worked. They would have a pretty complete (I am uncertain as to how far it is possible to psionically penetrate a person in this setting) reading of what they can get, and they would know about his hidden weapon in the mouth, and that he has some psionic potential himself.

[Ryudo Lee]

Sounds good to me.  I'll let you know if you cross a line.

[Tapewolf]

One of Dorcan's questions, when the debriefing itself is over, is liable to be whether he was psychically examined himself without his knowing.

[Arcalane]

Booweeoop~!

[Ryudo Lee]

lol

Arc gets 50xp for making the GM laugh.

[Lisky]

um... anyone know what we're waiting on?

[Tapewolf]

um... anyone know what we're waiting on?

Not really.  Dorcan's waiting for the debriefing.  What happens to you, briefing-wise is a mystery to me, but that's something I'm going to ask about IC when we get a chance.

[techmaster-glitch]

Hey, check this out! Lucheek did a sweet sketch rendition of Jexx during today's webcast!

"The idea for the pose was he just reached the big-bad-boss, is a little tired, and is listening to the obligatory villian speech. (I don't know the characters background)"

I think she did a very good job! Thank you again, Lucheek!

[Lisky]

i should probably get working on my darkshine sketch again... thanks for the reminder 

[Ryudo Lee]

Excuse my absence lately guys... a lot has been going down lately on my side of things and it's affecting pretty much every project that I'm working on.  The short version is that I'm being laid off at the end of the month and so I'm worried and stressed about money issues.  I'm trying to line up a new job so that I will have somewhere to go starting May 1, and have a new (and possibly better) job six months from now.  Whenever I get a moment of clarity, or when I get told that I'm still working as of May 1, then I'll post something meaningful up.  Right now though, I just don't have it in me.

[Tapewolf]

Ugh.  Well, hope it pans out for you there.  I don't think anyone here would object if there was a hiatus while you get things sorted out.

[Lisky]

hey, if life hits you like a jackhammer i'd rather hear that your taking care of yourself than add additional stress to your life... if you need a break, we'll be here when you get back

[Azlan]

Take as much time as you need.  We work in the same field, so I understand how it is and what the market looks like overall.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Keep the morale up. No matter how bad things are, giving in to the urge to panic is rarely a good idea. There are more important things in life than this RP.

[techmaster-glitch]

Ouch...that bites. I wish you well in getting things sorted out, man.

[Arcalane]

Ouch. Good luck with that, man.

[Lisky]

During Balade's webcast, i asked Lucheek to try a sketch of darkshine in his armor... much thanks to her for the awesome sketch, as it's pretty much exactly how i envisioned the character

*Still lurking about...*

That's actually pretty awesome.  Now if we could get artists to draw ALL of the characters, that'd be something.  Though I think EXO would be a challenge.

[Tapewolf]

With Darkshine there, I was a little confused about which way the head was facing ("Is that a spot or an eye...?") but that aside it's a neat piece of work.

Did you mean a group shot?  That would be kind of fun.

If anyone's interested, I have a couple of renditions of Dorcan.  There are more, but these are some of my favourites.

This was actually based on a scene from the RP:

This was commissioned from Pegasus316 (Adam Fullerton) at AC08:

Here's Dorcan going on a bender in Project Future:

...and an Amber commission.

it's a back of the head shot... i think he might be angry... given the pose and the extended blade

Yeah, that's what I figured in the end.

Very. The EXO chassis line is humanoid, but heavily armoured and dark-coloured. I regret not emphasising the build - particularly height looking back at things, but it's kinda hard to go back and add more to the frame now. Plenty of room for internal modification though, as the chassis was designed with variable armaments in mind.

Unfortunately I cannot draw and am in no position to start fiddling with modelling, so it's kinda hard to get the idea across.

[Ryudo Lee]

Looks like I'm good to go for the time being.  Let's get this ball rolling again shall we?  Let's not forget about the black-boxes you guys brought back from the tower.

[Tapewolf]

Is Morgan in the briefing room or still in the medical wing?

[Ryudo Lee]

I sorta railroaded everyone into the briefing room there...
