I was able to post and have a background, so GM hows JOT-4 going to work? I hate online generators sometimes... I've been known to re-roll a time or two with online generators. IAC, Captain Jack Abelein, Navy-6 looks fine to me. Let's say he's at the table as well so you can join the discussion at "The Meeting."Only problem I foresee, so far, is we're collecting several "Indian Chiefs" here. There could be some head butting over chain of command that y'all need to work out. I think you're going to have to clearly define who is Captain, First Officer, Second Officer, etc. for the shipboard group, the same for the boarding ops group, and the relationship between the ship's command structure and the boarding ops command structure. IOW, who can give orders to whom and under what circumstances. In the end, the crew will have to decide who they want in command. We’re all owners, some already owning shares of the original ship, so they might have a little more edge in voting shares. They’ll have to be something else that is discussed. Charlie isn’t a combat commander, but he’s a known factor to the crew that came in on Clear Sails. He won’t just knuckle under to the newcomers but he won’t fight to the death about chain of command either. It’s going to get hashed out one way or the other. |

Hmmm, no medics among us. I think Oscar is adding Medic-2 to Cyril's skills. I haven't heard from him in a bit, but we did talk about him doing that. I know Medic-2 isn't the Medic-4, but the ship is going to have an advanced AutoDoc that will handle a lot of the serious wound/recovery work. I think I wrote something about that in a post somewhere...OOC maybe. |

I have requested of erisred to join the game. If he accepts the character I built it would fill one of the holes that needs plugged, up to now it looks as though Peng is your gunner and currently also your only mechanic. My character is a mechanic if accepted. |

I think Charlie would make a fine captain. I would not oppose Charlie for shipboard Captain, but if elected I will serve. Captain Sir de Graff does have an experience edge as a merchant Captain in undercover operations, the very thing we are about to embark upon. For the away team, there are two logical choices, one an Army Colonel and one Marine Commando Sergeant Major. Both have their advantages. While Captain de Graff would lean towards his friend Colonel Berger he does note that Berger and Von Marston are acquainted so he would want to touch bases with Colonel Berger before voting on that. One is a made Leader and one was born to Lead, confirmed by his military career if not by the title itself. Colonel Otto Heinrich Wolfgang Berger, B98AA7, 48; Pirate-1(0), Army-7(2); Brawling-2, Pole Combat-1, Blade Combat-2, Vacc Suit-1, Zero G Combat-1, Gun Combat-5, Gambling-1, Tactics-2, Leader-2. or Sergeant Major (retired) Lord Eric von Marston, 987B9C, 38; Marine Commando (5); Gun Combat-4, Demolitions-2, Heavy Weapons-2, Instruction-2, Recon-2, Vacc Suit-2, Wilderness Survival-2, Zero G Combat-2, Brawling-1, Blade Combat-1, Gambling-1, Grav Vehicle-1, Leader-1, Recruiting-1, Tactics-1 |

They’d have to compare notes, but as a commando, he’s perhaps got an edge on the tactical small operations side. In either case, he’s more than capable of working hand in hand with any of the boarding team. He’s pugnacious and likes to fight the bad people. Charlie’s a reasonable sort and might very well agree that the Captain would make a better ship’s captain. If so, he’d make a good supporting officer. We can work out the details in character once the other players chime in. As a player, I’m easy. We’ll figure the details out without any muss or fuss. |

My character is a mechanic if accepted. I was on my way to bed when I popped in and saw your message, Voldar. Yes, I'm happy for you to play. I'll look at your proposed character tomorrow. |

Welcome Voldar to the game! I'll let him post something about himself and his PC and then he can join the rest of you at the table (The Meeting). If he doesn't say, I'll say, you picked up his character on Elati on the way to Patagonia where you are now. He is a Tech Wizard to compliment Casca and replace Blackjack's skill set.

If you’re not aware of a new in game thread, you might want to go look. The first two were on, on the 7th and 3rd respectively. The latter was less than 24 hours. I hope everyone is OK. |

It seems to be hit or miss when it comes to automatically informing folks about new messages in all forums I've been on. |

It just occurred to me that I didn't leave an NPC at the table so I could participate in your discussions.  Dr. Vargas left, Gilroy is still in the hospital and won't be with the ship, and the RNI folks (and Sam) all left the room. I really want Peng, Cyril, Casca and Aarav to speak up and I can't be there to give them a poke and encourage them to do it. I want our Aslan friends to chip in too...JR. |

The Aslan are waiting to see what the humans do, as neither of them are familiar enough with the area to be in command, or offer any useful suggestions. I think we need to decide on a captain. Do we take an IG vote, or settle it OOG? |

I will also say this, while I am willing to be the captain, I also think that it will penalize the group in action to have a first time player "in charge". Sheer ignorance is a thing. If I were to run as the on board captain, I would want some OOC information thrown my way. Information that I would be clueless about as a first time player. |

The core crew does have some familiarity with Charlie and if it becomes obvious that that the issue needs to be revisited, it can be. He's also more than willing seek counsel from those more knowledgeable than himself. We'll also have time to get comfortable with one another as we settle in. Charlie will suggest keeping things as is captain-wise for now and seeing how things settle. The command structure will still need to be populated and he can't do it all. He won't vote unless the contenders are voting, but that seems unlikely in this sort of thing. |
