Unless something has changed, Jim (@Sarcadian) is also on 2B
[a song drifts by on the TCB]
OOC: Iâd been on 2C for a while, but if 3 is likely to fail without help, I can switch there. Mission 2 seemed like it would yield the most mule-totable cargo, but maybe I can fill up on bunkerbits.
I wouldnât mind it, but itâs tough to tell whoâs on it with me at this point. Rideword (@Solomon) is the only other one as far as I understand. You would get to come home covered in glory, and, as I understand it, bits of raiders.
Nervous Mike - Kinda worried about Rideword
I thought about mission three⌠It could use more firepower. But mission two looks to be so awesomely violent and explodey that the act of blowing up a overpass seems boring in comparison. Never thought blowing up a overpass would be the boring option.
(@funruly) Junior, I love âBenefiting Revived Brethrenâ as the name for our bucket!
Donât everyone switchâŚlike @penguinchris says, the mission scales.
I think the window for mission choices has closed anyway.
I absolutely concur.
Until you realize that the entire tactical point of mission two is to actually support getting this rocket down the goddamned road and if we canât get the rocket down the goddamned road, well then, we might as well just stop hauling this thing and just go build ramps and then blow the hell up out of the airplane boneyard because that would be even more violent and explodey but have nothing to do with the strategic ideal of getting off this dead world.
But, you know, I might just be an idealist trying to make things better. Weâre still going to go out and mess some stuff up and have a lot of awesome desert fun along the way.
Seconded.
It was my understanding thatâs what you went off to do.
No, I have to transcribe the form info to each playerâs character sheet. Iâm working on it though.
Nervous Mike - Made up his mind
You know, your totally right, a lot depends on bringing down that overpass. Thatâs why it will be so much more more exiting blowing - the rest of it - up in a few days, when we can see the rocket inching closer and at the same time have to defend the rocket against raiders.
Just think of it as managing the awesome levels
[Channing wanders over ]
Hey! Hey you awake Honey?
[Honey mumbles something unintelligible]
Well, Honey (@kyntha), before we roll out with the rest of the gang, I was thinking, you and me never really got to talk to each other. Which is real odd considering. Well, I did talk to Momo once, but she tried to put a funny homemade sweater on me. Real nice gesture, but Iâm more of a denim and leather type of gal. More practical in the wastes you know!
Anyway, this next mission might be a hard one, and we might not make it back.
I know you smoke and all, I never picked up the habit myself, so I thought this might suit you. I found a pack of these. Lucky Strikes, with an upside down lucky cigarette, get it?
[Channing awkwardly scratches her neck]
Anyway, figured we could all use a little bit of extra luck
âHey, do you guys hear that?â
âSounds like a guitar kind of?â
âAnd some weird chanting.â
âDrums. Music. Letâs have a look.â
âOi! Looks like a couple of cars coming to our overpass.â
âWhat a pack of dumbasses.â
âNot even being quiet.â
âMan, we are going to get the drop on them!â
âThey stand no chance!â
A slight pause.
âYou know, with that insanely loud music itâs like theyâre not afraid of us at all. Should we think about taking the afternoon off to go build some ramps down by the airplane boneyard?â
âNaw, whatâs the worst that can happen?â
Honeys eyes pinch together in a smile:
If thereâs anything we could use itâd be luck⌠But Ill gladly settle for a
pack of ciggies. I wonât even ask where you got these. My mom had stacks of
them. They were my favourite brand! You know after she went toes upâŚ
hopefully theyâll bring us more luck than her⌠Wanna share a smoke? For
luck?
@funruly, @peregrinus_bis:
Iâll work on setting up an ongoing LP pool for the less-fortunate. Shouldnât be difficult, but may take a little time for me to get around to.
As much as I believe in what youâre doing brother, I prefer to keep to myself for the time being. I appreciate the offer.
Iâll be escorting 3 with Daneel. Whoever gave me 42 freakinâ LP, THANK YOU!!!
OOC: GMs decided that characters who lost vehicles could keep the LPs they already had and also get a mission payout (this may change). You had a crapload of LPs before you lost your TSST, so now you have a whole bunch.
