I just learned something interesting: Color-blindness makes it easier to see camoflage. The Upside of Color-Blindness This means Snow would do a better job of spotting soldiers than the rest of us. Just wanted to bring this up on the off-chance the opportunity comes up to make use of this.

Hey all! I did say I was gone for a week, but I got some stuff going on that I'd really like to finish, so I just wanted to let you all know I'll be away for another week.

The group is planning to assault the control room but there's a bit of a problem; it's established that Pelvanida has perimeter defense turrets so Shelton can't fly in unless the power is disabled and the power can't be cut until Mirumoto_Kenjiro gets back.

Also, I didn't think it would be polite to set forward a large plot action by myself. This particular plot action involves Nick's characters, Starfall's characters and my characters.

Well, I'm game for whatevcer plot action you're planning Serris

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #64 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:58:09 AM

Me too. And Starfall's been in and out of the RP section several times without posting, so it's not like he hasn't gotten the chance to post.

Sorry

: I've been unsure what to say, I guess.

Well, you can pput anything you want, Starfall..

It's all good, bro. I wasn't criticizing you or nothing, I just want to get into the RP, and I can't do that while it's sitting there three days stale. I was just saying Serris should go ahead with whatever he was planning. Not a slight on you in any way.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #68 on:** August 17, 2009, 05:48:35 PM

Sorry to make you guys wait. I had to get some stuff done while I was able to. Anyway, I'm back now.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #69 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:10:42 PM

So how is this whole helicopter thing supposed to work? I mean, I don't know when the copter is supposed to show up.

Serris · **Reply #70 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:41:38 PM

Shelton is supposed to be flown to Pelvanida by helicopter after the fusion reactor is disabled (Kenjiro's characters will be doing that), disabling the perimeter defense turrets and when the control room has been taken over (by both my characters and Nick's characters).

Shelton could already be on plane headed from Austria to Carson City Camp and from there, he could be flown to Pelvanida via helicopter.

If you want to join in faster, I can have Dr. Bailey hack into the computer systems and temporarily disable the perimeter defense turrets to allow Shelton to arrive sooner.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #71 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:54:54 PM

No, I'm willing to wait until the reactor is down. I was just wondering if you were going to play as the helicopter, and then let me know when it was time for Shelton to get out, or if you'd let me know it was time for me to "fly" the helicopter in, if you know what I mean.

Serris · **Reply #72 on:** August 17, 2009, 10:02:58 PM

I can play as the helo pilot and let you join in by having one of the gunners or another crewmember engage Shelton in idle conversation.

Also, the helicopter is owned by Carson City Camp so the flight would (realistically) take several hours.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #73 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:12:25 AM

I have an idea for Shelton's arrival. Instead of just landing the helicopter, what if it gets shot down or crippled or something, Shelton gets captured/tortured by the enemy, and has to be rescued?

Serris · **Reply #74 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:26:57 AM

I like that idea. Remember that the base's perimeter defenses are still active.

You can start immediately if you so desire. I'll play one of the techs who ltargets the helo.

I don't know the characters would find Shelton after he is captured.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #75 on:** August 24, 2009, 01:02:47 AM

They'd notice or at least hear the copter come in, right? Then Bailey could pick up one life sign stumbling out of the copter alive, and then work could be done on rescuing it. Or we could do it some other way. I would like Shelton to get rescued eventually.

You think enough time has passed for the helicopter to show up?

Serris · **Reply #76 on:** August 24, 2009, 01:17:57 AM

It's implied that Shelton was enroute to Pelvanida when the transmission was made. The shootout coupled with Bailey's hacking probably took a few hours; enough for the helo to apprach within range of the turrets.

Bailey would notice the helo come in via radar and he'll try to pinpoint where it was shot down.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #77 on:** August 24, 2009, 09:42:09 PM

Hey, Raptor. Want to pick out who Neku's blood donor will be? If not, I'll use X-278 as his donor.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #78 on:** August 25, 2009, 01:09:06 AM

X-278 being Snow?
That'll work great! And I'll maybe have the bat donate, too.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #79 on:** August 25, 2009, 05:33:54 PM

X-278 is the Fennec Fox in the sub-levels.

The bat and Snow could work, too.
