Badass Dragon Scavengers of the Void - Round 3 - Swan's Way

Unless we die doing so. Like I almost did, when I was stranded on Mars. Taunting death isn’t something that I recommend when your resources are limited. That said, doesn’t sound like many others can do this job, and it’s got to be done.

These orders will almost certainly change, but I wanted Tom Ratchetcrank and Brian to know that I am paying back their loan – with interest!

How very odd - Kass isn’t seeing that post at all? Digging into it!

ETA: By gum, this might be a new Discourse bug. For the moment, these orders will be filed manually until I can rouse the powers that be and figure out what’s going on.

Definitely odd. Some accounts create @notifications properly. Some do not. Yours appears to be one of the “lucky” ones that is not creating notifications for @mentions at the moment @wisconsinplatt

If I end up dying, I’m going to be really angry.

Yup, that’s exactly what my face will look like.

Let’s do this.

“Don’t dig up the radioisotope thermoelectric generator,” they said.
“Don’t drive halfway across Mars and steal a spaceship,” they said.
“Don’t expose yourself to hard radiation in the engine drives of an abandoned starship,” they said.

Well, as someone who has survived all of that and more, what the hell, let’s cut loose. Dr. Omicron was an incredible team player and I thoroughly enjoyed his keen scientific mind. Theodore Rump, well, I guess it was nice he was there. I don’t recall seeing him actually doing much other than pulling at that gold-foil thing on the wall with the giant radioactive symbol painted on it, that may account for that radiation, it’s tough to tell.

But, we’re at a decision time, do I let my colleagues down or do I, once again, science the shit out of it and come home covered in glory, jump dust, and a loose collection of hair clumps that I’ll probably just want to wear a hat to avoid freaking everyone else out or meekly go gently into that eel-infested waters of the cargo hold?

Take Mission 1’s Raw Deal? I’ll give you a LOOK THAT COULD KILL.
Join the Cutting Crew? I’ll DIE IN YOUR ARMS instead.
BLINDED BY SCIENCE? Buddy, I’ve already got a cane.
Hold me now? It’s HARD TO SAY I’M SORRY.

Let’s get ready. LOVE ME SEXY.

I may have had the same bug. For me, my orders were not seen by Kassandra when the first non-whitespace was ‘at’ Kassandra, but when I edited the same post to initially have a sentence, Kassandra saw the orders just fine.
