The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Ah okay, sorry to hear that.  Perhaps if you say he was killed in action, then it could've been by Subject 19 when she was on a rampage in the hospital, could've perhaps, killed your character in the process....by decapitation XD

It will be difficult to explain how your character come back in, seeing as how he's still at the hospital, and we're moving on the the Dragonstorm HQ soon. But I'm sure we'll find a way. Maybe Dragonstorm could request his return to the base for a debriefing if you ever come back?

It wouldn't be the weirdest arrival into an RP. Corporal Stern joined the 2nd RP basically by falling out of the sky!

Just throwing ideas out there, but people have requested their characters die before (like StarFall in the 1st RP) and we tend to keep them in the land of the living since you just never know :) Hope your time clears up, and if you ever need a debriefing before you jump back in don't hesitate to ask! :wave

Pvt. Garner is the single survivor of Delta Squad sent to investigate the Vegas Massacre.

I guess we could add him to the pool of public domain characters.

Yeah, that could work, kind like what happened to Hans and Werner, actually had forgotten about that sort of thing.

But yeah, that could work, but then, who would use him then, if Belmont will allow that sort of thing.

Public Domain characters can be used by anyone as long as continuity is maintained.

Ah yes, I thought as much.  Don't know if I would actually want to take on another character myself, so I guess we can see what happens first, if anyone else wishes to take him on or not.

Seems we'd need Belmont's permission first. He never expressedly said we could take control of his character, only that we could kill him off (which I don't think we should do).

Yeah, seems like that, but if he says that he is released to the public domain, I could perhaps take control of him, that, or give an idea that he was arrested at the hospital from the SWAT team and taken in to be interoggated about what had happened there.

Alrighty then, so you do wish for him to be killed off by the sounds of it and not be released for anyone else to be used?

Do we always have to wait for everybody to get into the cars? Can we ever assume that everybody gets in and we head out? (It's a bit late to be asking this, as presumably there's only the hotel and then Lab 101 to drive to, but I'm just wondering.) I speak because in the past a few times Shelton has held the group up because everyone was waiting for me to get on and post something.

So, is everyone going to get going to the hotel first so that Shelton can get his thing underway there with his pill like things? Those Dragonstorm items that is.

Then after that, they can head to the closest set of shops to get what they need to, as I doubt another mall is around for a few kms anyway.

And of course, after they do the mall stuff, they can finally get underway with heading to Lab 101 at the very least.  Well, sounds about right to me anyway XD

Yeah, everyone make sure to think of which character of theirs they want to get a thought network chip. I personally think the five should go to:

1. James: Team leader, and I think Serris' only scientist (Zachary was an assistant). It makes sense that the scientist would get the chip.
2. Shakila: The other tech person, and she'll need information to help her hack Dragonstorm computers.
3. Stern: as Noname's only character
4. Dr. Landon: as medic, other 'chipped' characters can contact him for medical advice if the team gets split up.
5. Werner: he's a public domain character, and if f-22 comes back he'll get a 'chipped' character. Plus Werner hasn't had much to do so far, so it'll get him more involved in the plot.

Ah, pity. I understand, though. I've been busy myself.

Yeah, Shakila can be the one to have it, does make sense for her, especially since Shelton and Shakila spoke about it just before.

Dr. Bailey is another one of my scientist characters. Personally, James should get it.

Stern will get it, but if I have more time, I might add a second character.

By the way, I was a bit off with the Assassin's Creed 2 ordeal, I was thinking of Subject 16, the one who leaves messages around Spain for Enzio to decrypt.

Although, when they reach Lab 101 and when Shakila starts to access their computers, I might have her stumble across some hidden messages that were left on the computer network system by an unknown source, one that goes on about Dragonstorm, Aimee, Subject 19 and others as well.

Would think that would call him Subject 16, as in, one of the earlier ones, but whether or not he's still alive, not too sure about it.

Just an idea I've got buzzing around in my mind is all.
