No worries. I'm more concerned about MrAres since he hasn't posted since he got food poisoning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

[Buddha72]

Ok back from real life demands. I will send the captain a text and see what's going on with him. I saw him last night but was still slammed with things to get done.

[JxJxA]

Cool, and congrats on being done. ^_^

Also, you might want to let Fenris know about the message as well because I think Sereth fancies himself the face. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[Fenris]

Is there a Culture(Spacer) roll or something similar to make sure I'm responding correctly?

[JxJxA]

You are always welcome to roll on a skill, but in this case it's no big deal. Your response is fine. If you are interested in having them cooperate beyond letting you refuel, that would take a persuade roll or a quid pro quo offer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[JxJxA]

Refueling is going to take 4 days. Ezri can drop you off on the station and you can get to meet the locals, which is something that would help. Odds are that the Saving Grace might have done the same before leaving...

[Buddha72]

I vote for getting dropped off and asking questions to see what we can figure out.

[Lain]

Better than watching Ezri refuel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Buddha72]

OH MY GOD YES!

[JxJxA]

Ok, I'll bump you along. Groundwork also might work out better for your group's skillset.

[JxJxA]

Ok, bump up. Bannerjee Model 12 stations are in the Bannerjee Construction Solutions pdf. They are usually based around a repurposed ship and meant for a smaller group of people.

Feel free to social fu Zax, ask questions, find answers, cause trouble, or [insert whatever else PCs do] while you are here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[JxJxA]

Also, I pm'd MrAres but haven't gotten a reply. Do you know of anyone who might want to join the game, or if I should put out a request for more PCs?

[Fenris]

You could put out the request? Most of the boards are based around different games, but I'll bet you get some hits.

[JxJxA]

Ok, put out an ad. I mentioned that you guys could use warriors and ship-oriented experts. At this point, I think Sereth is the only PC who can help Ezri with the ship (like sensor scans, analyzing space), but she's the only one who can pilot and repair it.

In retrospect, I might have baited the S&R mission a little too much. I think the current group would do better with away team-like missions, but I've got a plan for this one that should make it work for you guys... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

[Buddha72]

JxJxA sorry I told MrAres to post even if it was to say he couldn't post or something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

I think recruiting is a great idea and maybe add we are looking for a leader/captain type? It would be great to bring a player on board to give us a little direction and a push here and there. Everyone ok with that idea?

[Lain]

I'm ok with that idea, though ideally it would be someone you guys know from another game

[JxJxA]

Yeah, I put out the call to my friends in the 2072/2075 threads. We might have one new person. However, if you guys know someone in another game you are more than welcome to send them our way.

[JxJxA]

@Buddha: Thanks! I forgot to mention that he PM'd me to let me know that his promotion is keeping him pretty busy. I'll find a way to keep him on ice so he can return once things settle down. Maybe a tribunal for crimes against humanity or a freeze tube... Something in that range... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

@All: Ill try to get something up later tonight. I think there are bannerjee maps online, but they are special snowflake space stations---each unique and with their own facets and flaws.

Edit: Never mind, got home and immediately fell asleep. Will get something up ASAP. x_x

[JxJxA]

@All: We have a new warrior: Welcome, Nemo157! ^_^

[Nemo157]

Hey guys, looking forward to playing with y'all. My character is Iorund Värmodsun, an itinerant space marine. Still working on the background but I should have that sorted out in the next day or two.

JxJxA: if you prefer I can redo the character sheet in BBCode, just more familiar with GDocs and already had a char sheet layout setup so thought this would be the easiest way to get it done.

[JxJxA]

@Nemo: Yeah, I'd appreciate it. That way I can link it to the OOC page. A lot of times I check char sheets to see if there are skills you guys can roll if a new situation comes up that the rules don't cover (like bluffing, etc.).

Cool, thanks. I have been away from my computer all day, bu should give this game a bump in a bit.

[JxJxA]

Sorry that's not much of a bump. I ended up having to stay at work for 2 extra hours trying to decypher and finesse some poorly translated Model UN resolutions for my students.

Welcome to the thread Nemo157!

Have you played this system before? New to Play by Post? Are you a friend of someone already in the thread? This is me saying hi and getting to know you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
