Yes Ma is a mute and no she can not make any noises. The surgery she had left her scarred and half her face numb.

Tann - just because she doesn't make any sound doesn't mean there wouldn't be some other expressions of her amusement. A crooked smile, an amused twinkle in her eye, and the shaking of shoulders, perhaps? Clapping her hands or slapping her knee, etc.

...judging from the post, I'd guess Sam's been back a couple of months now, would that be right?

It is six months after the events at Serenity Valley when we pick up the story. Sam and Jade alternate shifts as pilot and during crunch time, Jade takes the co-pilot chair to control the technical side of flying so Sam can concentrate on flying. In game terms , you have have a helping roll on flight maneuvers.

Even longer than I'd thought. We's had long enough to get nice an' family-like ag'in. Shiny!

And Jade and Sam together on the helm? No force in the 'Verse c'n outfly us!

Edit: Kind of waiting on others to post but, since you answered the time question, I think I can get something started while I wait.

That just killed part of my post, gonna have to figure out some other way to do with her what I wanted.

Someone has to post first. Please don't all wait around for someone else to post or I might get bored and start making stuff up. UberReavers in hyper accelerated power armour...

...that sounds down-right adventuresome! Not ta mention creepifyin' an' gross!

Got a post in the works.

Should be up by tonight

I'm happy to make the first post.

Thanks for the posts.

One thing I did want to say is that this particular adventure is very open ended. There are a number of ways it can end by design - some heroic, some tragic and some bittersweet but all of them decent endings. There are a lot of "side" events going on as well that may or may not influence the main plotline. So if your character is put into a situation that seems a sideline, it might just be that. Not everything will tie itself into the plot. Much like life, some things will happen because they happen - roll the bones.

We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That's the way that lady luck dances
Roll the bones

What's the deal? Spin the wheel.
If the dice are hot, take a shot.
Play your cards. Show us what you got,
What you're holding.
If the cards are cold,
Don't go folding.
Lady Luck is golden,
She favors the bold. That's cold.
Stop throwing stones,
The night has a thousand saxophones.
So get out there and rock,
And roll the bones.

It brings the setting to life and keeps players guessing.

Also... Happy ruttin birthday, Cap!

You noticed that, huh?
