Darwin's Soldier's Sequel Discussion

Hey, welcome back Kenji! Feel free to jump in whenever.

And yes, it was assumed that your characters survived the first part and are now trying to live a life as normal as possible.

Okay! I'll revamp my chars' profiles and fill in how they "left" earlier in the RP. I got a total of five chars for the story: 3 good guys you know, a Dragonstorm experiment, and a shady guy that seems to be involved with the Dragonstorm conspiracy.

LB&T, I can work a way to bring Shelton into the RP.

What will happen is a soldier from the Cobalt Squad will mention Shelton offhandedly. General Moby of Carson City Camp will the attempt to contact Shelton and apprise him of the situation. If Shelton accepts, a plane will be dispatched to pick him up from Europe and he will be helicoptered into Pelvanida.

That sounds great. I've been following the RP, so I'd love to get to jump back in.

I'm still getting readjusted to the Forum life, so don't feel any pressuring need to force me into the RP quickly. When the time is right to get me back in, I'll be here.

Also, shouldn't we ask the others if they're okay with me jumping in like this?

Serris · **Reply #44 on:** July 28, 2009, 01:31:46 PM

Ok, before LB&T gets back into the RP, I need to ask for everyone's permission for him to return.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #45 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:28:49 PM

Why need my permission? He's welcome anytime anyplace.

If we wanted to avoid the lengthy time issues the plane trips would cause, we could pretend they happened "offstage." What I mean is, James and co. could contact or be contacted by Gen. Moby, with part of the conversation going something along the lines of:

Gen. Moby: "Don't worry, if things get tough know that some help is along the way."

James: "Help? Who?"

Gen. Moby: "Just someone I recall being mentioned during the briefing. Moby out."

Then, when Shelton does show up, he can explain that he was contacted and flown here by plane. Gets the exposition out of the way. How does that sound?

Serris · **Reply #47 on:** July 28, 2009, 08:11:07 PM

Perfect. I could start it in right now but you don't have to jump in immediately (remember Shelton will be helicoptered in).

Wouldn't he at least get something to cover him? It took a big distraction for everyone else to get inside. Like two UAVs and two Blackhawks...

Remember, that Feral's team will be disabling the fusion reactor. The base defenses do not work without power.

Duh... My bad.

Oh, I forgot about this. While I was gone, I found this buried amongst old school stuff. I have no clue when or where I wrote this, but it reminded me of Darwin's Soldiers. I must have been interested in this kind of story long before I thought! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Microcosm.jpg (Unfortunately, I can't find the rest of the comic. I guess we never find out what happens to the two men.)

Serris · **Reply #52 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:15:19 PM

Hmm. Truth be told, this was somewhat inspired by the Furtopia RP The Spreading Hazard.

Also, that Microcosm comic reminds me of the sublevels at Pelvanida.

Here's the tally for the people who say LB&T can join:

Nick: yes
F-22: yes (dropped out of RP)
Starfall: yes
Kenjiro: yes

Starfall and Nick, I assume you are still playing. My characters are waiting for your responses.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #54 on:** August 03, 2009, 01:28:57 AM

Like I'd say no?

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #55 on:** August 03, 2009, 06:36:26 PM

Just to let you guys know I'll be away until next week. See you then!

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #56 on:** August 03, 2009, 06:38:18 PM

See you! Have fun!

Nick22 · **Reply #57 on:** August 05, 2009, 02:45:17 PM

Sure LBt can join..whenever he feels up to it

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #58 on:** August 05, 2009, 04:20:52 PM

Woo hoo! Ready whenever the plot dictates! (We might want the foreshadowing phone call or something so it's not totally out of the blue)

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #59 on:** August 06, 2009, 09:40:16 PM

Here's my character profile:

Name: Dr. Rudyard "Rudy" Shelton
Age: now 41
Species: Human
Faction: Scientists
Specializations: Great understanding of physics, technology, and (to a limited extent) temporal mechanics. He often uses analogy and historical references in his dialogue.
Powers/Cybernetic enhancement: none
Appearance: Dark haired and brown eyed, on the taller side, now with an unkempt beard from his days in Austria. Wears contact lenses.
Personality: Marginally sarcastic, but usually doesn't talk unless he sees a reason to. Attempts to solve any problem with logic, almost to a fault. Has no intention whatsoever of risking his life for anyone or anything, thank you very much.
Equipment: Other than standard lab equipment (and no weaponry), also carries a chargeable flashlight that doubles as a radio.

This image show the flashlight in retracted form, and being opened into talkie mode. The crank doubles as a mouthpiece.
