I don't know, Jaclen has pretty good simulator scores

But we're investigating on foot. I don't think they have simulations for that.

Old Lineup
Slaver Depot - Mae, Ty and Alek
Weapons Depot - Jax, Otsoa and Vaylen
Spice Depot - Jaclen, Kraven and Jess
Recon Group - To'ran and Valexia

New Lineup
Slaver Depot - Jax, Mae, and Ty
Weapons Depot - Otsoa, Alek, and Jaclen
Spice Depot - Vaylen, Jess, and Iris
Recon Group - To'ran, Valexia, and Tak

This keeps the majority of the respective flights intact, which is probably how this would have been broken up in a real world setting. Missions broken down from the platoon to the squad level. Each mission has a separate Flight leader in it, and the Recon group has that Green Squad wannabe To'rizzle in it.

Let me know your thoughts. I'll work on the general aspects of the briefing post sometime today and hopefully by the weekend, we're ready to go.

Aww, I liked having the rookies bundled into a single group

Spoilsport.

I might shift jess and jaclen around then. If there are no other issues, I'll work on the briefing post when I get out of work today.

Post by **Jagtai** » Fri Jul 01, 2016 9:57 pm

Switching Jess and Jaclen wouldn't bunch the rookies together

You don't have to change anything,

You let Mir work Mir's magic.

Mir made post post.

I hereby solemnly swear to wait for dismissal before leaving the room this time. >.>

Someone doesn't want to get stun baton'd.

Post by **Jagtai** » Sat Jul 02, 2016 7:21 pm

I'm not a fan of you writing for our characters.

And I promise, if Wosino hits Jaclen, she'll take that baton and shove it down his throat, consequences be damned!

Are you that annoyed by two lines of dialogue?

And cool, go for it, lol.

Pryde · Post by **Pryde** » Sat Jul 02, 2016 10:40 pm

I'm annoyed by it too! How dare you get my character's awkwardness mostly right!

If I was that annoyed, you wouldn't need to ask

No, it's just the principle of the things - writing other people's chars without leave.

Pryde · Post by **Pryde** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 11:14 am

If Jag was annoyed your home would have already been raided and pillaged.

... And he would have arrived by longboat, figure that one out.

Please. I've intentionally annoyed you far worse than this accidental apparent upsetness.

I'm still alive.

Just a heads up, my availability will be spotty for the next week, we're packing up to leave Germany today, will be outprocessing/de-mobilizing for next week or so. I *should* be able to post but if anything comes up pressing feel free to move Otsoa along.

Post by **Nichalus** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 8:18 am

Ok, now that we've got to this part, I'll post, after the holiday, the initial frackus with the impromptu scavenger fight.

As for the individual missions. Write those as you guys want, the object is to gain information, and destroy the operation/base of your individual missions, as you all deem fit. The only cravat to each story is that you get a piece of the clue that will lead your teams to the Asteroid Field, where we will have the BIG fight.

Post by **Mir** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 8:59 am

Xal,Vag, you two can assume that Jax sent you guys the information.

Post by **VagueDurin** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 9:46 am

I hope mate sent it to our astromechs in the form of only memes and emojis...

Post by **Mir** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 11:53 am

Actually he used the names of Metallica songs.

Rightio chap.

Post by **Mir** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 9:49 pm

+200 to either of you two who manages to work "Ride the Lightning" and "The God That Failed" into the information that Mate sent.

Pryde · Post by **Pryde** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:03 pm

So who gets the code name Master of Puppets? Jax? Or To'ran?

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:11 pm

Xal, can you give me a run down on Tak? Species and any other notable Valexia should know about him physically when she interacts with him?

Pryde · Post by **Pryde** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:45 pm

I'm not sure if it was explicitly mentioned but I think he's human. He's got a lanky thinness to him but he's been working out and supposedly has a well developed chest and arms. Also, he has a biomechanical leg from the knee down on his right leg.

I like your thinking, Pryde

Did I say I was gonna kill ya? No, I did not. I don't kill people for principle. On principle, sure, but not for principle.

I'll just...burn your barn and slaughter a few of your livestock. You know, normal small-time stuff.

Xalsin · Post by **Xalsin** » Tue Jul 05, 2016 5:11 pm

Sorry, Shaggy, missed your post there.

Yes, he's human, biomechanical leg. He's pretty muscular and well groomed, with an ego to match. He is on the tall side, probably not as good looking as he thinks, but not ugly, and mostly suffers from a lack of maturity. The sort of people who is good at what he does and is determined to be the best, but has not really had to feel the sting of defeat and deal with that yet.

Mir, as far as the missions go, are these just flyby recon missions or are they being provided with the resources to perform more of an involved infiltration mission?

Post by **Mir** » Tue Jul 05, 2016 5:59 pm

Entirely up to you guys.

Pryde wrote:The sudden brush off that came immediately afterward was just as much of a surprise to her as Iris. After he had left the Bothan turned to her and introduced herself. Jessica did likewise.

"Jessica Sterling," she said, holding out her hand, "Or Jess."

The two shook hands and Jess continued, "I might as well tell you this now before you find out from someone else, but um--I'm the awkward one."

And then they just stood there staring awkwardly at each other.

All yours revolve around threatened pillaging. I'll be my own judge.

Pryde · Post by **Pryde** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 8:27 am

So um, two things. I think we established somewhere that Green Squadron is the only squadron but what other resources do we have? Like do we have troop carriers and the people to man them at all? If we're going with an A-Team sort of feel it doesn't seem very likely that we do.

Second thing is, are the scavengers still showing up? I almost have a post written for that (in my head, I haven't put it to paper yet >.> ).

Post by **Mir** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 9:36 am

The A-Team aspect would not, at this junction, be the feel right now, I think. I guess the feel right now would be A-Team before they left, an actual military unit.

Once we leave the Republic, that's when it's more fly by the seat of our pants, spare parts are hard to come by, make do with what we can, kind of thing.

Pryde · Post by **Pryde** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 9:52 am

Isn't that what we already did, though? This first mission is our first without the support of the Republic, right? Unless the resistance is supporting us, I guess. >.>

I only ask because I didn't think we were going to have very many resources for taking out these depots. Like each team of three would have to figure out the monumental task of taking out their objective alone.

Post by **Mir** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 10:07 am

The resistance is not supporting us.
