OOC Thread Episode IV: A New Hope

[Dufflepud]

(OOC: Excelent job, Serren (and whoever else helped write this, if anyone)! That was a fantastic introduction!)

[serenissima]

New mission, new thread.

[Jakob]

The old OOC thread should be moved to the archive not the dumpster.

[Killer Frog]

And so it begins, where do us split-chins and bird-brains do our idle chitters?

[abroad]

Wait till your fate is decided.

[hollowsaber]

That sounds evil... I like it. XD

[abroad]

Unfortunately, its true, I don't really wan't to go briefing the Covenant players until the polls are closed.

[Jakob]

The decision seems to be made unless seven voters magically appear who all have the same view.

[tellos]

Seems option 2 is the most likely.

[abroad]

Only five votes would be required for the vote to carry on option three, in 24 hours the result will be clear.

[serenissima]

Just making sure everyone has a chance to vote. I'm not ending it prematurely.

[Oresus]

The introduction was well worth the wait, Seren. I'm in awe at the sheer length of thh thing - it's a beast!

Great overture, by the way. I'm listening to it for the third time while I write this.

[tellos]

So the war begins a new. Ships fly out and troops get set, this is gonna hurt. But it'll be fun.

[nex]

I need a ship to assign my pelican crew too. The squadron it was attached to seems to be a little MIA (Maxi, Inhert).

I'd also like some suggestion as to where to throw my ONI guy in.

[tellos]

They can join my Frigate if ya like?

[hollowsaber]

Erm, a Frigate has a Hangar Bay?

[tellos]

Nex, you need to assign your Pelican crews to one of the two marine companies.

[abroad]

Sorry, should have made some things clear, the Marine companies will not be aboard the Illustrious. Lusty is a Fighter Carrier with no Pelicans aboard. The ODST company IS however on the Illustrious...

The Army are on the unnamed Army Transport Ship.

I need to get in contact with Seren to confirm where we're putting all you guys in terms of ships for now avoid mentioning which ship your are.

[tellos]

Oh sorry My mariens had a home ship which is involved a destroyer figured thats where they would go. i can go edit my post.

[hollowsaber]

Erm... So where do we say we are? I put Orion on the Illustrious because I have no idea where he should really be...

[serenissima]

Guys, guys...

I just have to point out that the small number of Marines on the Illustrious are there - as pointed out even in the old ship list, as well as its profile - solely to protect the ship against boarding. It doesn't carry any vehicles or other facilities for use in planetary assault, as it isn't designed for it.

For the purposes of solving this unexpected problem, as of now, both Marine player-character companies are now embarked aboard the landing ship Remember Guadalcanal, from which you will soon be disgorging yourselves into a battle (with all of your vehicles and things, of course).

I wouldn't be so quick to say that I'm MIA. Let's get the Pelican squadron up and running.

If you want Crash can come with my SOG team, though I don't know how they fit into the organization.

As for the SOG how should I go about having them properly assigned?

[nex]

INHERT!

*Running Bear Hug Tackles Him*

Crash is ONI and is given Freeroam. Dunno if SOG have that. And it's good to have Super Six back.

[abroad]

I need to re-read Crahes background, but I imagine that wherever he was, he'll be transferring to the UNSCS Coyote, same as SOG-A

[abroad]

Just to clarify, for those of you who are humans:

Both 1st and 2nd Marine Companies are aboard the UNSC Landing Craft Remember Guadalcanal

The 73rd ODST is aboard the UNSCS Illustrious and prepping for drop operations.

All Special Forces Units and ONI Field Agents, you are in the process of transferring aboard the Umbra-class Prowler UNSCS Coyote - all Spartan Gold Team members, you are already aboard.

[Bippwatt]

Awesome Intro and amazing overture. Of course, I didn't see it until AFTER my first post, so I couldn't have that one as part of my post writing Soundtrack! Fool that I am!

Great work, Seren, Abroad and the rest of the team! Any ol' time you guys happen to be in the Arizona valley, I'll buy you guys a pint or two! Well. I'll pay for it. Someone else will have to get it! *mumbles something about "Stupid alcohol laws"*

Anyway! I am looking forward to many awesome RP events!

Hail, Mission 3! Be Welcome and Be True!

[hollowsaber]

Erm.. Bipp... If your two snipers are Marines, they are on the UNSCS Remember Guadalcanal

[tellos]

Wait but he already was on my ship before where are the orders for what battaltions go where?

Edit: nm see sreens post. Ok Remember Guadalcanal it is.
