Ok. Situation has been more or less resolved...However, as a direct result of this the session tommrow(of course) may be interupted or altogether cancelled while I wait for phone calls :thumbdown:

 

This probably should resolve by next thursday, but I will keep peoples informed as getting a full time job may/will change my scheduel...since one of the jobs was 18:00 to 23:00 and others were all nighters, ect ect...

Whatever happens the sessions will continue, though perhaps fewer and longer.

 

 

Ultimately, stuff may happen.

[Seraphi]

Well, like I always say, real life has the priority. If it calls, you need to answer the metaphorical phone.

 

Best of luck.

Ross having control of our resources makes me nervous. I mean, a 190kT carbon nanofibre pegleg for heaven's sake? Utter frivolity.

 

Now, I'd like to request funding for my upcoming "Giant Telepathically-Controlled Mech of DOOM" project, please. I'll need 500kT for the psychic enhancement apparatus alone. :rolleyes:

 

So... I'd like to ask why you guys left Jean and I back aboard the Kirov earlier...

 

(I'm looking at you too, AI, when I said "pause" I didn't mean "let them get us maimed horribly.")

[archimage_a]

You already said to let other people control you if you left suddenly...so there wasn't any need to pause...Also, since you didn't return that night, pausing it would have ended the session...and since we had already extended the session through 4 nights it seems reasonable to draw the line.

 

 

And, if I had strictly followed my own rules you would both have died, however, since the others didn't take control(for whatever reason) I decided to just have you horribly maimed.

[Nexaduro]

I guess you're right. You couldn't have paused just me...

[archimage_a]

Indeed, since then you would have faced a Gavrill...and neither you, nor Jean, were Russian. :eek:

[Seraphi]

Nex, I called dibs on Obsidian first, but again, low priority.

 

And please, I implore you, do not declare my designs wasteful. I am simply trying to improve efficiency aboard this vessel.

 

Ps. Theros, it isn't a peg leg. More of a raptor leg, except made of metal. Talons and all. It's pretty much superior to a regular leg in every way.

[The_Mather1]

Ross, I got the suit up at a stable 11 sec/100 meter by using tank threads under the feet. That means it'll probably be aproaching acceptable stats soon. If I can just increase stabillity and mobillity then insert a sort of user controlled block to keep it from jumping off a planet (though that'll probably be usefull, imagine jumping from planet to planet).

Screw Russians, I have a suit that doesn't know how to run.

The last two months have seen radical change on Earth, and not all of it was predicted.

 

December 2090:

Russia and the United States of California brokered an alliance, giving the USC eventual control of both American Continents in exchange for assisting the Russians with the then unusable American Defence Net.

The USC agreed with only two conditions:

First was that Russia would need to crush the 'New Republic' formed around the Great Lakes, a throw back to Canadianism.

Second was that Russia would break off ties with Argentina and drive them back beyond the Panamal Canel.

 

Will the ink was still wet Russia moved in and crushed the New Republic and broke off relations with Argentina, though did not yet declare war.

 

Argentina took the hint though, withdrawing troops from Africa to reinforce their North America holdings.

 

Chinese Africa, desperate for land and resources, foresaw this and rushed into a desperate alliance with the Terran Federation and Australia to take Argentine Africa.

While Australia said no, the Terran Federation said yes, but meant no, driving forces into Chinese Africa, decimating their leadership, taking control, expecting some kind of payout from Argentina for this great service...none was forthcoming.

 

With thousands dead and nothing to show for it but desert and desert beyond that, France declared independence, followed by Spain and New Bulgaria.

 

Will France and Spain were internal, New Bulgaria was funded, almost entirely, by Russia.

 

Almost immediately Russia recognised the new states, sending troops into New Bulgaria and aid packages(American Aid Packages) into France and Spain.

 

The Terran Federation, battered from constant warring and this blasted independence movement could do nothing...Neither Britain nor Australia was willing to enrage the Russian Bear to defend the defunct power.

 

In Turkey the communists came to power, the election a formality since Russian agents walk the streets, a knife winning any political debate. With their victory they chose to join Russia...formalising what had become life.

 

France announced the Christmas of Freedom, with the leader Pierre Chamberlain, holding in his hand a piece of paper, stating that Russia will never invade France.

 

January 2091:

 

The Terran Federation collapses. Russia and France meet to discuss the division of the Terran Federation.

Both France and Russia want to establish a number of new, sovereign states, governed by the people who actually live there, not a centralised power. From this, West and East Germany reform, along with Italy and Island.

 

Island comprises Britain, but Russia assures Britain that this will only occur after Britain has left.

 

West Germany is largely Norwegian territory, which Norway refuses to give up, thus France and Russia declare war on Norway, liberating West Germany.

 

Russia, aided by America and Europe, now declare war on South America, Britain and the Australian Commonwealth; launching surprise attacks in Scotland, Japan and Cuba.

 

Britain, in the throes of evacuation, mounts virtually no resistance, falling within a week. Japan, likewise in the throes of settlement can do nothing but accept Russian Dominion.

 

In Space the British and Russian fleets clash, the British having weight of numbers, while the Russians have easy targets in the transport ships. While Britain still burns, millions are killed as Russian ships kamikaze into the transport craft, turning America's vast, though heavily diminished, industrial powerhouse to spacecraft production.

 

In America, Russians and Californians work together to slay the Argentinian beast, combining the high tech with swarm tactics. The Argentinians are constantly on the retreat as underground defence networks come online behind their lines, massacring their forces.

 

In Oceania the Russians suffer their only real reverses, with Commonwealth forces taking the tip of India and the Island Fortress that is Sri Lanka, as well as advancing through Indochina. The only reward for the Russians to show is Taiwan.

 

Africa, too, sees the Russians and Commonwealth clash. The Commonwealth liberates South Africa, while Russia pours through North and Central like a hot knife through butter, finally joining the battle just north of the present lines of battle in the West, and just south of them in the East, where Madagascar provided a key staging area.

Internally Russia has passed breaking point, with China, India and Terran Federation areas involved in bitter resistance fighting. Russia has reordered its Government to compensate, but the simple truth is that while the Commonwealth provides a viable alternative to Russian rule, the resistance will only grow.

I suggest that we take advantage of this, Unity crewmembers, and liberate [chosen country here]!

 

Anyways, Archi, for my puzzles... Bubby came out of the cellar and saw the outside world, and the ID is partly cloudy.

The Russian scum must burn for this! Attacking evacuees? Disgraceful!
