Could be the result of a leak of the earliest story reports, so you don't have all the information and presume the expedition is doomed and stuff.

Step A: Commandar Hushy is going to say "Sorry, I can't answer this; the ship is currently under Bragulan command" and hand it off to COL Velkro.And precisely what excuse is your captain going to use for opening fire without orders and away from any landing spots?
Shep posted it on the spur of the moment. I don't think he's aware of the time frame involved.Steve wrote:It's fine, I'm impatient too, but given what's happened with PeZook it might be a few days before we wrap things up and get to the landing.
Um, the Anglians aren't supposed to know that there are any Bragulans involved in anything regarding Pendleton.MKSheppard wrote:It can be in GODDAMN UNREAL TIMESteve wrote:Dammit, Shep, couldn't you have waited until we were actually posting the planetary landings being underway?

Step B: COL Velkro then says "Bragulan law does not require disclosure of operational details. I refer you to Commander Hushy."
GOTO Step A.
If pressed hard enough; they will reveal that it's a danger close fire mission to protect joint interests on the planet.
My bad. Carry on then with your fever dreams of CAR CHASES WITH BEARS for the other half of this post.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Um, the Anglians aren't supposed to know that there are any Bragulans involved in anything regarding Pendleton.
No one is. Except the Sheppos in the Annapolis, and even then it's a need to know basis.
What, you're surprised the Shepistani contingent would exceed orders and act on their own in typically overkill fashion?Steve wrote:And precisely what excuse is your captain going to use for opening fire without orders and away from any landing spots?
Until i hear a statement from a creditable source* that the Collectors emphatically do not support trafficking in sentients, they support trafficking in sentients.Steve wrote:Could be the result of a leak of the earliest story reports, so you don't have all the information and presume the expedition is doomed and stuff.

Now now, you can't blame Chamarrans for a bit of hippiedom, now and then...Shroom Man 777 wrote:LIBRUL MEDIA! Goddamn defeatist... anti-Chamarran space hippies! Defeatists! What a bunch of pussies!
Sorry for the VERY late reply. I think I might give this a shot.Dave wrote:Write something with the Iduran Confederation?Force Lord wrote:Gahhh, damned writer's block. I have no ideas for my next post.
I mean, writing about space pirates is fun and all, but writing it all by myself is getting a little tedious.
Maybe a civilian Iduran ship gets lost and pisses off people on the way through your customs!
Maybe you want to smash space pirates in my friendly neighborhood shoal space!
Maybe you try to play one Iduran faction off another to gain (brownie points, shipping contract, civil war, etc.)
Maybe this post irritates you so much you decide to launch a war of annihilation against me!
There's certainly no lack of avenues with which to take your next post.
Oh, absolutely understandable. I've had to delay writing a Confederation sting operation going sour because I was arguing on facebook. Good thing I'm on vacation anyway.Force Lord wrote:

From the description of it though i'd be surprised if it was one though and the values are probably lower to reflect it being somewhat of a craphole. Then again people sent a truly staggering amount of overkill to the system if that's the case (remember, you lot originally just expected to face said planetary defences and maybe whatever ships the Pendletons could beg borrow or steal in addition) so i could be very wrong.KlavoHunter wrote: Also, a question that's been niggling me... You refer to both anti-starship force, and ground forces here when it comes to system defenses. What's the split between those two different forces?
Well, it was Shroom the Bragulans. What did they expect?PeZook wrote:Oh jesus christ, I almost died while reading Shep's post.

Better than yesterday. Nobody was hurt, today the insurance man came over and it looks like the company will pay for all the damage. Two rooms on the far side from the fire were thankfully mostly undamaged, so we have a place to move the office and shop to, while contractors do work on the rest of the building.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Hey PeZook, I'm glad you're okay, man.

I'm working on a temporary catalogue of customer machines before we get the database restored from offsite backups.
And, as is evident, we already have power and internet working at the site
Thanks for asking, though.
