I'm posting now.

Just a quick note, if Wyatt is pulling into the cargo bay, he would see Wolf and Hudson there. Vasquez will stay at the front of the ship to do clean up on the remaining mercs, and not join you.

As well, everyone with a comm would get Asher's message that Ma and he were safe.

I neglected to put into my post that Willow and Sifu are also receiving the messages from the comms as well. Since it is a "trust no one" situation, I assumes earpieces so others don;t hear them.

Excellent posts everyone. I will endeavour to respond in kind.

With Archangel vanishing, I have decided to bring a new pilot on board, played by Mmv. I have put her character in the character section. Meet Jade Storm.

Sorry to leave everyone hanging but I just did not have time to post to the game this weekend. I will work on one tonight or tomorrow.

I'm the last person who should be pushing for a post. Happy to wait to see what happens next. It means Wyatt lives a few days longer.

So the post is up and as you can (will) read, the Calvary has arrived. There are a couple of storylines that need to finish, specifically Wyatt and Havelock along with Willow and Lord Hood. So please post reactions and actions based on what has happened but the next post I make will be a narrative to wrap up this storyline.

Yay for the calvary.

Ok I don't have time at the moment to get a post. However if I can't get one in before you do Roger Wolf is going to gather 3 of the Merc's assault rifles and 4-5 clips for each rifle. I'll also look at Hack N Slash's handguns to see if they are worth while keeping. All this I will hide in Asher's secret Gun Locker. Come to think on it if I can I'll take that big handgun from the merc boss I killed.

Are you sure you want to do that?

Red alert... Marshals in the vicinity.

Danger Will Robinson. Danger.

Isn't he a mechanic? I get confused as to why you keep trying to scavenge weapons and armour when you aren't Asher. Also, shouldn't you be thinking of your fellow crew members?

Tann had mentioned to me about collecting gun and I didn't think about too much. But it would be better if he stashed them in the hilly stuffy wuffy and not in Asher room. Beside I don't remember giving Wolf the codes or secret hidie places.

Asher would like to resupply his little toy bin, as much as he had it ready didn't slow down the bad guys as much as it should have.

Asher should have stuff he can pull out when needed to defend the crew, even if the Captian doesn't know he has it, that's his job. I'd say Lt. V would look the other way for him or even help him with some toys in exchange for a "Good Workout"! I would to go so far as to say that Col. Sanders will have our ship on his list of less likely suspects when it comes to real criminal activity and maybe even an ally for curtain events. Being Marshall in the rim ain't easy and trust is hard earned.

As for Wolfy Tann might like an upgrade weapons but as for in character I'd think he'd get more like Grace and arm our systems with stuff plundered from the wreckage or from "Generous" saved passenger. As Asher protects the crew and Wolf would protect Roc. After all we need parts to get flying again and he is the one to find them now that John is gone.

In that case I'll only take Hack/Slashes firearms and remaining ammo and leave the rest alone. Oh I thought you gave it to me Ody before this fight started if not then no biggie. However seeing as I'm not picking the AR's up any longer no big deal .

As for trying to upgrade the Roc's inventory of weapons why does me being the mechanic have anything to do with that? Just because my main job is fixing the ship does not mean I do not have a love of guns just as much as Asher does.

I own 4 guns now in RL and love each of them and go shoot them twice a month. So again I ask what's the difference between Asher and Wolf other then 'jobs'

Ill go back and check, but Asher got the new cabinets because Sam snatched some of his guns. He built the hidie place for the same reason, to hide the "special" weapons in case he had to open the cabinets for lawful inspection.

Asher has not shared the combination or access code of the hidey hole gun cabinet. He actually went to great length to keep the project to himself, doing the work himself and on the quiet.

Tann - in game terms there is nothing wrong with wanting a gun collection but just like the real world we live in, there are ramification and consequences. You have a permit to carry a gun if I remember correctly. You went through a process to get the licence to carry that was regulated by the gov't.

In the alliance based world, a pistol or rifle is no big deal. You can get away with it, in most places. However there are weapons that are considered illegal to carry: Machine guns, assault rifles, laser weapons etc etc. You can get a permit to have them, or work in a profession to carry them but they are illegal and if found on your ship will have dire consequences. This is one of the reasons that freighters don't usually arm themselves. You get caught and you are off to Perdition and your ship sold to pay the lawyer who defends you.

Now, as the character Fenris (Wolf) Apollo, you have d6 in guns and d12 in pistols. Yet you never use a pistol, you always go for machine guns and assault rifles. So you are not playing to your characters strengths. You are using a d6 for most of your combat when you could be using a d12. In fact, it was a lucky roll that saves Wolf from extreme injury and instead shot Hartigan first. Wolf also has martial arts, knife fighting and brawling skill and again, you don't use them much.

The other aspect of having a gun collection is that Asher bought all those guns - most of them twice due to Sam. He didn't take them off the men who fought beside him to defend his ship, nor from enemies he had killed. Now that is a moral/alignment/personal choice but it seems icky to me.

Anyway, you chose what your character does, I can only advise you.
