OOC

Yes, of course. The base has a terrible power that must not fall into the wrong hands. Base has a terrible secret. We will protect you from the terrible secret of base. (And all your base, of course, are belong to us.)

If you dropped four bits of ice into a glass, would they all go ping on the bottom of the glass? They would have to be small bits of ice, or a large glass. Or I just misunderstood what you said.

And, to finish off for now, something that is pretty awesome:

This is the first thread I have read yet, so if someone has already changed the name, good. I only called it that to make sure it wasn't the Empire.

The spaceships are like the army of the Territory. So the Starfleet of the Federation. Friendly rivals, then, Tiberius? And same rank as captain. Same standard ship. If we are going to be rivals, you can't have the best ship. That wouldn't be fair. And, as you know, everything in life has to be fair.

So we're stuck with Territory? Alright, whatever. No problems, I guess.
You're not captain, right? that would be Wolfgang whoever. And same ship, I guess (though a different name, obviously. I'm not sure if you gave your ship a name yet).

My major problem (at this stage) is in the Alley thread. Seathia, I'm not sure I understand. Did you just kill my cult with Necromancy? That breaks the zero-sum rule, since you don't have a corresponding and equally inhibiting weakness. Utter stupidity and inability to spell does not make up for 'Curse of Years'.

It is also in violation af the agreement that you may not join a thread and change it's direction. Granted, the thread starter is retarded and doesn't count as a member as far as I'm concerned, but I believe that currently the main characters are Chris, Clarke, and Frost, so I think that gives us the rights to drive the thread in whichever direction we like.
Please edit your post accordingly, I don't think it's acceptable. If I'm wrong, then edit it to make it legible.

[Quick Edit]
After reading the party, it would seem I may have another problem...

Nora, did you just send me to Russia?

What the hell?

[Second Edit]
After reading Sci-Fi, Nora, could you clarify what you're sying there? Did you contact my ship and get the frequency to speak to me directly, or are you talking to Commander Nevak onboard?
By the way, if anybody wants to be my first officer, you can change the name and start as him. As long as you know something about Star Trek.

Sorry, I figured that Russia might be an interesting and unusual place to go. Perhaps it was winter and you like skiing.

I have contacted you directly by getting your channel off your ship (which, incidentally, you haven't named yet.). I am Wolfgang and I am Nora.

I don't think now would be a good time for me to join the Sci-fi thread, for a number of reasons.
First of all, I haven't a clue what is going on in there. Maybe something about Star Trek, and perhaps a little Star Wars from C&P.
Second, I had been told that there should be a Martian in there somewhere too, but that would have been a bad idea, all too similar to my n00b move to be an adult in the party. (Nora, thanks for brutally pointing out my error on that one. You big bully.)

I wasn't sure if you would all like Fight Club. We have a good friend that doesn't think it is particularly good (Yes, he's a smart guy. Yes he understood it), but I guess most people must think it's great. Clarke and a few others for a while practically lived off of it, though thankfully they didn't live by it.

So how many of you have IRC? Should we get ourselves a channel somewhere?

I have irc, but it would only work if we all went on at once. Or, at least three of us, i think.

Perhaps we could try that sometime during the holidays. Or perhaps a lunchtime, though we'd have to get mirc onto the school comps, so maybe not.

Um, Nora... I named my ship ages ago, it's called the Excalibur. I named it in the actual thread, though. Not here.
And, I realize that you named yours as well, sorry for being unobservant.

Nobody knows what is goig on in that scifi thread, I don't think. I'm just wandering around. Do whatever you like. But someone really should be the martians.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You're not talking to Frost, are you? Because last time I read the thread, Frost's ship was Excalibur. Hence his line: "Frost to Excalibur. Come in, Excalibur."

I wondered at first at "the strange layout of the antiquated station" (considering the station is unfinished) but I guess there is no reason an unfinished station isn't antiquated. (I was about to make a joke about the space station being christened "Consistancy" by Chris.)

Can we have another summary?

My assumptions:

-Caster and Pollox have star destroyers and are their own faction.

-Clarke Anderson works for "Coalition" - a seperate faction.

-James Winters has a ship, is one of the good guys (Territory)

-Chris has a ship, works for Territory?


If I was allowed to give kudos points, I would give them to Frost for running out of ammo, and Chris for being the only arrival who knows not everyone has to be flying in a behemoth.

Alright, summary, bcos I've just gone through and read all this.
And it's horribele.

I am Captain Tiberius Frost of the Excalibiur.
My first officer is Commander Nevak, in command due to my current absence.
My Second officer is Lieutenant-Commander Carrington, accompanying me on my away mission.
The Excalibur is a Galaxy-class starship (so we know what we're talking about)
I am Starfleet (yep, I'm ripping it off).

The Excalibur was the closest vessel to the base at the time of the uprising, and thus was first there. Once inside, the away team found itself stranded du eto the shields being raised and under fire from (someone? possibly Martin's lot, since I just realized you were responding to my actions)

Nora is a medical officer, and is also controlling Captain Wolfgang Hoffmann, of the Affirmation.
She is also part of the Territory. Her ship just arrived, and sent 'unit 6?' into combat. (How? since my transporters can't get in, and there are two star destroyers there)

Castor and Pollox are completely unrelated, as is Commodore Anderson.

Chris Wesley is a Bounty Hunter? Soldier of Fortune, Renegade, etc. Fights for his own will, we assume he's on the good side (humans?).
I think that's the people sorted out, except Martin.

So we know that Martin's side thinks of Frost's men as 'intruders'.
I claimed that I shot a guy with a black helmet, or something.
Nora states that the Martians aren't human (but how different are they?)

We know the revolutionists were living on the station for some time before they attacked. Were there Martian workers on the station before then, but perhaps they worked under the humans?
They moved in under the guise of workers, and recently revealed themselves to the staff as revolutionists. So the military, ie me, were sent in to sort them out.

This means that:
There are two sets of civilians on the base. Martian workers that aren't part of the revolution, but the martians want them evacuated, and the humans, who Starfleet has to evacuate.

Which in turn means:
It would make sense for Martin to then be the Martian revolutionists, because then he could shoot at me while still evacuating people. Either that, or some of the humans on the base may have sided with the martians.

Actually, it would make it easier if Nora just changed her post, so that the Martians were human. But it is fun this way.

Martin, who are you supposed to be?

Just out of curiosity, does Warp speed go up exponentially?

I get the impression that perhaps people aren't posting durnig the holidays so that they can claim they have lives.

It's a theory.
