Good catch carl, but I'm inclined to believe a person from the 1980's wouldn't know about a mission that takes place in 1993. STS-51-A all the way through STS-51-L could easily be discussed internally as just "51" or "STS-51".

I appreciate the thought though. I hope to properly begin the human RP tonight... If I write fast.

But they wouldn't, because under the numbering system at the time, "STS-51" could refer to any flight launching from Kennedy Space Center that was initially authorized in fiscal year 1985 — the final letter is needed to name the exact mission. Keep in mind that several missions were in the pipeline at any one time, so ambiguity could easily cause a large and expensive clusterfuck.

[Roeben]

Were there ever multiple shuttles on the launchpad at the same time? Would a direct 1 to 1 communication with the only shuttle on the launch pad lead to a large and expensive clusterfuck? Does the actions of ONE character somehow dictate NASA's entire communications directive?

Nagatonzir may use her arm for any non-load bearing activity.
Baizomarir's cranial swelling subsides somewhat, making her concussion bearable.

No HP is healed, but the symptoms are abated.

Tinel's communication falls on deaf ears, for when she finishes her speech, the lights flicker once again, the red lights turning full dark for a second or two, and then a soft rumble spreads through the ship as generators begin to start up again, allowing the normal ceiling lights to operate dimly, then fail five or so seconds later with a loud, crackling noise from the lower decks that plunges the ship in darkness once more, suggesting a problem with the capacitors or perhaps the power plant itself. There is not much time to worry about it however, as somewhere deeper in the ship, something explodes violently.

You can all feel a collective, psychic gasp of relief when the loud sound remains just that, and the ship is neither rocked nor torn asunder, and the battery powered red emergency lighting slowly ignites once more.

Smoke and something chemical fills the air, and the sudden silence on board reveals that the ventilation systems are no longer working. Then there's activity again, and all of you can clearly hear vocal commands as well as sanzai, as everyone returns to their suffering and their desperate battle against the new electrical fires that the shortout created.

OOC comment on this post:

What I'm trying to say here is that you should get a move on, and that with no NPC's that I direct control in your room, I don't have the ability to order you around either. Keep in mind that you are free to do as you think is best, you don't have to wait for me to order you around.

Also, sorry for making you wait, human players. I promise I'll hit you guys off really soon.

[sunphoenix]

Surly I'm not the only one playing a human? Come on guys post up!

[Vovinia]

Why are there no posts. I'm mad.

[sunphoenix]

I know what you mean!

[Hālian]

Why are there no posts. I'm mad.

Summer slump.

[Roeben]

I'm sad too. I guess I'll have to think of something now. :<

[Senanthes]

I'll be around, and checking in, whatever happens. I know I don't say much outside of IC posts (and the navy thread we had), but I check in at least every other day, just to see.

I'm sure you'll think of something, Roeben. Got faith in you!

[NuclearIceCream]

I'm not in it but I find myself wishing I had made a character if it means it might speed this up. (I enjoy reading the RP)

[sunphoenix]

lols!

[Roeben]

You are welcome to make one. Enough Loroi crewmembers to go around, and we are 1-2 members short on the human crew. =)

EDIT: Also, I suppose I'll have to do one on one RP with Sunphoenix to rush the storyline ahead so the groups can meet up sooner. That seems like its the only way right now, which is too bad, because i would have liked to do a little more worldbuilding.

[sunphoenix]

That would be nice...

[sunphoenix]

Anyone home?

[Hālian]

Boing.
