  1. OOC: Jess, that'd be your cue. *Push* Drelin, or sneak off the ship, or somethin'. Bothans are renowned for not listening to a dman word anybody says, anyway.
  2. I know, I know, I'm a gettin' there. By the way, I'm going to start another alter ego tonight or tomorrow, this one an Imp; hopefully, that'll spur some folks into picking up some more of them.
  3. IC, Brandei: Alex looked up as Karn and Kre'nel re-entered the cargo bay/"intelligence office", and stiffened to anntention as Karn drew near. "Sir, this new array works pretty well. I wasn't able to get any direct information on that engagement near the moon, but I did get enough to know that it wasn't anything of ours, nor were there any indications of the same type of sensor interference we saw before." "Now, to continue our earlier conversation: you'd asked how we were going to accomplish anything without an Imperial presence to monitor. We actually already had enough of a contact to at least determine what we're NOT facing, and put some theoretical parameters on what we are facing. I've been going over the fleet sensor data that was crosslinked to the Alderaan; remember that the interference was targetted at specific sensor systems, like individual gunner stations. By comparing that with the "clean" feed we got from systems like navigation, we can get a pretty accurate picture of what was happening." Alex paused to pull up the relevant data, mindful too that Karn might want to get a word in edgewise; he knew he had a tendancy to babble when "teching out".
  4. OOC: Sorry, everybody. Real life has been dealt with, for now. IC as Drelin: "Ambassador, you're more than welcome to contact the Hefian government and do whatever you can from here. For one thing, you can inquire as to what just happened around their moon, since, according to this", flourishing the note he'd been handed, "we're neither invited nor allowed to investigate it with the fleet." "However, until the security situation on the ground has been stabilized, no Repulic personnel, most especially Republic ambassadors, will be going anywhere near the surface. Your safety on this mission is my responsibility, and there's no way in hell I'm letting a ranking ambassador anywhere near possible Imperial influence. Especially a Bothan", he couldn't resist adding. Gonna pay for that later. Felt good, though.
  5. Hey! Quit sharkin' players from my RPG! Go do your own recruiting.
  6. Ok, here's a roster thus far. Note that some of these players seem to have dropped: Brandei- Alex Brandei (currently assigned to intel with Karn) General Drelin Krytos - Major Karn UlicHorn - UlicHorn, currently in charge of rounding up Imps on Hefi tchar - Arten (smuggler-type), currently "volunteering" to help UlicHorn rattler3 - Jon (merc group serving as Hefi defensive unit) Hefian government Jess - Ambassador Bandi Kyp Baba (yet-to-be-introduced Ewok) Pytho - Various NR pilots Vodnik Now, what I originally envisioned happening is a series of skirmishes and such that end up leading to an all-out conflict being fought around and on Hefi, with Hefi itself caught it the middle. Whether this spills over into the rest of the sector depends on everybody's reactions. What we really really need at this point is somebody playing Imperials. I'm willing to create a few and run them, but that'd be much less satisfying than trying to figure out what somebody else is doing. I've got some ideas on what the Imps have done, will do, and want, that I'm willing to share with somebody who wants to play a few. Even better, somebody who'd be willing to take those ideas, modify them, and run their own agenda would rock. If not, expect me to start playing a few Imperial characters in a few days. Rattler has a great handle on the Hefi government, so we're really down to just needing some Imps.
  7. As Drelin: Sighing heavily, trying to summon enough patience to deal with this conversation, Drelin answered the comlink as pleasantly as possible. "Yes, Ambassador, what can I do for you?"
  8. rattler: Make it whatever you want... One thought that would be cool, is make it some Imperial mercs, similar to what the NR is doing with the civilians. If you decide to capture them instead of blowing them away, they'd probably claim to be working for the NR, which could make things interesting for the Good Guys . Just a thought...
  9. As Drelin: "I apologize for the unexpected size of our task force, Head Councilman. Advance scouting of your system indicated an Imperial presence, and in our experience, that generally indicates an increased need for security, whether they're here at your invitation or no. Your invitation wouldn't stop them from firing on us out of principle." "As for transporting Ambassador Bandi down to the surface, I'm afraid that is impossible while there are Imperial troops at large; again, they wouldn't think twice about killing or capturing our ambassador. I will arrange to have Ambassador Bandi himself contact you to work out an acceptable time to meet once we've satisfied our security concerns. In the meantime, we have identified your security forces, recognize their right to operate, and will do our best to stay clear of them." Iodit? That's not fair. I just know I'm going to slip up and call him "Idiot" before this whole thing is over. Terminating the transmission, he said out loud, to nobody in particular, "I suck at diplomacy". Turning to Arten, he said "Well, Captain, I'll let you get to it. My crew will arrange a shuttle for you over to the Reckless Wonder, where Horn is setting up the mission." As the Alderaan's captain came up behind him, Drelin said "Much as I hate to, we'd better get the Ambassador up here to talk to these people." "Yes, sir. One question, though: what happens when the Hefians find our operatives down there rounding up the Imperials?" Drelin sighed. "That's why I only sent the civilians, Olan. I hate hanging people out to dry, I really do, but if it comes down to it, that's precisely what we're going to have to do."
  10. By the way, Krytos, you ever gonna promote Karn to reflect your SWR rank? Drelin would be happy to update your honorary Republic commission...
  11. Let me preface this by saying: as a game master (not that that's strictly what I am here, but it's an old habit for me ), I tend to run things in a parameter fashion. That is, I set specific outside parameters on what I'd like to see happen, then let players run with things wherever they want within those parameters. So, if somebody wants to split off from the fleet, or pick a fight, or what have you, do what you wanna do. If everybody gets into it and enjoys themselves, then you've injected a good thing. That said, I'd prefer if Karn and company stay local, but I can roll with it if you want to run off somewhere. I intend to handle the intel mission at Hefi, but I'm flexible. If folks want me to act as the unofficial GM, that's fine by me, but lets make sure everybody's aware that no applecarts will be too very upset if they do something on their own.
  12. Hey, all. Here's the OOC thread for the Mission at Hefi roleplay. In a bit here, I'll post a current roster of active characters, and kinda give some thoughts on what's needed and where we're going.
  13. IC as Drelin: "So that's the mission, gentlemen" he said, addressing the civilian captains attached to the task force. "We need those Imperials cleared off the surface as soon as possible so we can conduct our own business without looking over our shoulders every 10 minutes. I'd prefer captures whenever possible, but don't let someone get away for fear of hurting him, either. Coordinate with Ulic Horn on the Reckless Wonder; he's had a bit of a head start on you, and will be heading up this mission for us." Turning to Arten, he said "Well, captain, you have a couple of choices. You can either participate in this mission, after which we'll return your ship, no questions asked, along with a fairly substantial bonus from the Republic for your assistance, or we can conduct a thorough search of your ship and background, contact the government on Hefi to find out what might be contraband down there, and go from there. I hate to blackmail you this way, but I need competent people who won't be traced immediately back to the Republic." While he waited for Arten's reply, the Alderaan's captain signalled an incoming transmission from Hefi. "Excuse me a moment while you consider, captain. This is General Drelin, commanding Republic Task Force Envoy. How can I be of service?"
  14. Alex looked back and stiffened to attention as Karn and Kre'nel walked over in his direction. "Sir, all of the equipment is set up and functioning well; the new Fabritech suite they gave you is one nice piece of equipment." "I've had some thoughts on what may be going on, but it's going to be tough to deal with without a lot of simulations and a lot of number-crunching. How much do you know about scanners, sir? About how they do what they do, that is."
