Nation Building Ghost in the Machine

ah do what Grieve did whenever something lengthy starts hurting your eyes. Simply copy and paste into a word document and change the font to something less of an eyesore.


But I thought id make sure to avoid misunderstandings in the future. We had enough of that early on, mainly my fault and Assailants ill admit.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

I mean If I end up Rping with someone in particular then I will go and re-read their CS and probably some early posts of theirs so I know where I'm at

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

yea all right. Just be forewarned. Some of us have weird stuff.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

I've seen.. I mean I am technically a race of superintelligent dogs

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

I got the Amped up Pred-aliens, to use a old friends term for it.


@Romulus VenZiel sorry buddy but the Nefarians are not getting their package, Veely's gonna be pissed. Is it okay for me to Beam the AI and Holly up like bam golden glow then your on a ship? Because that's pretty much what would happen.

 

[Romulus VenZiel]

How exactly does it work btw? Like the don't need any form of tracker or locator on them? If not, I suppose there's nothing I can do to stop it.


 
Also I suppose this gives me a good time to introduce a special little neutral character of mine. It's what I was talking to @Apex about earlier.

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

Id need the coordinates if I didn't have a tracker, mainly so id know what gridsquare to look up and then find the signature of the targets. And thankfully, The crappy Nefarian Coms encryption has given me just that.


 
neutral character? you mean something NOT evil? holy crap finally! because only Galumora is even semi close to good right now! makes me seriously wonder how the fuck we are all gonna work together since if any one heres played diablo, only reason the prime evils never won the war against the angles is because they were to busy fighting amongst themselves

 

[General Deth Glitch]

The Kaelo arnt evil...

 

[Romulus VenZiel]

Neutral as in they take no side in any conflict. In fact they don't even fight. It'll all make sense in a minute once you make your post.

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

great, I iz about to gets fucked over. oh well, adapt to the scenario I suppose.


And general, I thought it said on your CS EVIL? or was that the wrong one? ahh ill go look at it again.


 
right ill deal with whatever happens tomorrow night... well tonight for me since its 12: 48. Im hitting the sack, night gentlemen.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

Faction is Chaotic Neutral and Maaarkael is Chaotic Good

 

[Atom]

I'm gonna have to intervene here. Beam technology is okay but it is not sudden, not even quick. I am fully against being able to beam anyone up against their will like that. Saps the fun from a high stakes extraction and other operations, like kidnapping.

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

I didn't say it was quick though. Took the Science egg heads a few minutes to calculate everything and then beam them up. I asked Rom if it was okay if it was all right to beam them up as such, I truly did because I didn't know if he wanted a reaction to it or had objections or the like.


 
So if there was a hot evac zone... the poor sods would be waiting a couple minutes before anything could actually happen and they would have to remain more or less in the same area... which Holly and the AI were since they were awaiting a drop ship.


Also, I couldn't just kidnap any one as I said before, if I didn't have a tracker, id have to have their coordinates which I did thanks to shitty coms... matter of fact that's something to upgrade after this cluster fuck goes down as well as engines.... *shakes head* getting side tracked.


I couldn't kidnap any one in a ship unless I knew Precisely where they were, to much interference from all the various machinery and other personnel


 
Also yea General I looked back up on your CS Chaotic neutral I think it was while your char was Chaotic good. My bad, just to used to everyone being EVIL here

The way you worded it was near instant. Had it went down as you said here then the AI would have had ample time to avoid it with the nightguards in tow.


I wish I would have been involved in this last night as it's my AI really that Roms using. Although I already displayed to him my thoughts on not letting my AI get simply picked up in such a manner.

 

[Atom]

Also there's two entire non evil factions you know?

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

Well I am sorry, I simply thought to ask instead of say glowing lights and shit were swirling about, what do you do? Instead ask if it was okay, boom, get a intermedium post out of the way. Get things moving quicker yes?


@Romulus VenZiel my good man the door that slammed shut were the Bulkheads, they don't connect to the interior of the ship. They are simply the Cargo bay doors that seal the vacuum of space off.


The doors.the air locks, leading to the interior of the ship were the ones that I stated were welded shut. How could I 'seal them in' if only the door leading in was sealed?


Those Doors basically slammed shut, and locked, preventing any one else from coming in. Blowing himself up like that may have made a small hole in the outer doors. They could still come in, but not in large numbers or very quickly.


I love being able to turn a failing plan around and re-use it to my advantage. Thank you intuition and ingenuity


 
Yea @Atom I do know, however you haven't done much with the Trellians so I kinda just shrug. And let Rom do as he pleases with them since I tried to contact them once but no one answered me. I quickly figured trying to interact with them would just leave me hanging for long periods of time so I focused on more active events.

 

[Atom]

Actually it's fine now that I think about it. You've yet to really get borged in a sense...


Rom I'm gonna be taking my AI back today if I can manage to post soon.

 

[Atom]

Jarkov what does the front of the bridge look like? Is it more like a viewport?

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

Can't adequately reply as I am at school, will explain when I get off. Its a good idea what I did with the bridge. Singing off until schools out

 

[Romulus VenZiel]

@Jarkov Malachai


Son of a bitch, my bad, lol. Quick question though, how did it shut on one of the dread's if it was the bulkhead doors? None of them are interested in bypassing those they're just interested in the doors leading to the rest of the ship.


 
But yeah, I'll edit my post for sure regarding the door issue.


@Atom


Yeah that's fine.


 
@Jarkov Malachai


Okay, did my edit. Hope that clarifies things. This is the part of these rps that get interesting though, since it's getting near the part where enemies will have to consider setting asside differences to face the big baddie of the plot. Still need to introduce my true neutral character who will be essential to each and every boss plot in this thread. He'll come and go as he pleases.

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

I am back from the horrific cluster fuck that is my life, and ready to begin world domination. . . not really, I don't think I could do that, don't have the patience or micromanagement skills to it. and oh Rom? You fixed it? Why thanks let me go check *vanishes into the inky black of intranet*


Ahh you did thanks man, im sorry I wasn't more clear on that, probably didn't help that they were both called CARGO Bay doors at one point so the confusion is my fault.


Though I haven't done it yet, ive just realized now that the AI is on board and General Ira is as well... Galumora will have realized that theirs no reason to stick around here any more and Warp off. Im assuming Rom you have some epic plans that involve the Kukri sticking around so if you do tell me and I can 'forget' to put that bit in her sights as of the moment.

 

[Atom]

I myself can inform you that your ship will be going no where. If you think the AI will simply complacently remain on it then I have a surprise for you

 

[Romulus VenZiel]

Me? Not so much other than the first appearance of the neutral charrie which will happen anyways and Veely's boarding parties.


@Jarkov Malachai

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

Uhhh, well considering that Rom has her so far at a neutral party and helpfully diffused the situation on the Bridge, Nice going by the way on that one. "honorable warrior bit". I hope you don't suddenly make her hostile cause that might seem a bit odd. She is getting her ride outta here as she wanted to do


 
Other than that bit with the blades stabbing people in the legs bit, The Kukri crew has made no hostile movements and hopefully has been rather respectful in their manner. Galumora doesn't tolerate crap like that as im sure your all aware of by now *grins*


Writing up me post however as we speak

 

[Atom]

She will get hostile unless you let her leave. She's non hostile atm due to not knowing your intentions. But if she learns you don't intend to let her leave now.... well.... hehe
