More answers in the latest IC post. Make sure to check it's OOC spoiler. It's important.

Maj. Wolfe "Acknowledge, Corsair. Permission to fire is..." The soft Loroi voice is suddenly interrupted by a harsh human voice "Denied, Major. The station likely contains mission-critical intel. A standard Umiak plasma focus takes at least sixty seconds to power up. You are clear to fire only if y...

Maj. Wolfe A Loroi voice comes into your comm "Corsair, this is CIC. Contact on our scanners. The profile seems to match Umiak communication relays. It seems to be abandoned or automated. We need you to make a flyby for an in-depth scan and confirm it is not a threat to our boarding shuttles. Sendi...

Like most of the bridge crew, Lieutenant Karl Jacobson takes a moment to clear his head from the jump nausea. Following the Captain's orders, Karl reports as his fingers are working "Sensors check green. No indication of damage. Passive scans show no unfriendly ships or obvious anomalies. Forwarding...

Please copy your character sheets into this thread for quick(er) reference. Having to search for them in the OOC thread might get annoying as the thread grows.

With the general idea of conducting 'war games', the rowdier human marines seem satisfied. At least satisfied enough to leave the mess hall without incident. Loroi The situation about these 'war games' spreads fast among the Soroin and Teidar. Teidar Pallan Knifebearer became downright extatic when ...

TheUnforsaken keeps asing excellent questions that are fun to answer. The Human and Loroi fighter pilots work fairly closely together. Their craft are stored in the ship's bow hangar, while the landing shuttles and Basram Assault Tanks are stored in the aft hangar. In fact, the relationship between ...

Added Jacobson's gear and attribute bonuses to his skills. I noticed that creativity and awareness are disproportionately useful. Then again, it might just be my skill choice.

It would be nice if you'd have this competitive war-game finished, or at least planned, by the end of the month. This introductory chapter is meant to flesh out the internal conflicts in the Tempest crew. The establish everyone's, PC and NPC, personality. Once that's complete, I can move on to the p...

I'm ready to go and willing to play with or without strict rolls, too. Actually, a lack of strict rolls would even be preferable.

Skills checks are fairly straightforward. Roll 1d20+Skill. If you get X or higher, you succeed. In this case, it is an opposed test, meaning you have to beat someone else's Empathy or Psychology. Although, since this is more "cooperative storytelling" than "competitive game", it's entirely possible ...

Since I've been asked for background info via PM, I figured I might shed some light on things. Namely, I'll be pointing out two of the most important events of the Loroi-Umiak war. The Silent Raid 2192-2193CE Although the war is over, by now the details of the so-called Silent Raid remain highly cla...

Hmm... to answer Gudo's PM question publicly: No, there is no time limit on resolving this situation.

Senanthes: Gudo is right. You should probably post that in the IC thread. Not sure where you posted it before. PM to Gudo/sunphoenix?

Links to other threads OOC Thread - Link IC Thread - Link Characters Thread - You're in it Here's a thread for all the named characters in the Tempest Expedition RP. I'll keep a full list of all characters in this post. Names only, though. Longer descriptions/character sheets will be posted below, i...

Feel free to Starflame's response yourself, sunphoenix. Whatever you believe is fitting in the situation. Much like the old RP, I intend to run this reasonably hands-off. It gets very tedious if I become a single lynchpin of all communication. I'll call for skill rolls and the like, and advance the ...

Okay, I figure it's time to start the game. If anyone wishes to join, they still have a chance. Plenty of unnamed characters left.

[OOC: Links to other threads] OOC Thread - Link IC Thread - You're in it Character's Thread - Link Despite all the political attention on the Tempest expedition, ECS-Tempest departed Alliance-controlled space with little ceremony. At least as far as any members of its' crew knew. There was a short l...

Hmm... I just realized a possible hole in my background. Exactly how long ago did humanity make contact with Loroi in this story? After all, my current background says that my character went to Taben three years ago, and stayed there for two years before returning to Earth. If contact with Loroi was...

hi hi So I did a round up of everyone's characters. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I've got some questions for just about everyone, feel free to have fun with the answers. ------ Karl Jacobson, 1st Sensor Operator As a leading expert on psychology/sociology, what sort of experiments did he perfo...

Yup. The Barsam are another species in the Loroi Alliance. They have appeared in the comic too, however briefly. There are only three characters that are off-limits for players. The Admiral, the Torrai Torret (assuming no player takes her) and other PCs. Every other position is fair game and I'm act...
