[OW/X - Tau]: Operation Fireknife (OOC & Discussion)

[Mazer Rackham]

Tro has been down this road before....

[Trokair]

It is a labyrinth whose thread was cut and I lost the torch somewhere.

[Mazer Rackham]

I'll hang fire a couple of days to allow other posters to catch up/weigh in, then I'll move us all on.

[Machine God]

I'll add another post, I don't want to double post. My head canon for Tony Keys is a cross between Hudson from Aliens and the reporter from Predator 2.

[Mazer Rackham]

No worries on the need to feel like you need to post mate - looks like we might be a bit slow burn, which is fine :)

 

Ah yes, I think your character will be very interesting!

[Dosjetka]

A great read so far; looking forward to reading the upcoming updates. :tu:

[Mazer Rackham]

Appreciated Dos :)

 

I've moved things along a bit by editing my last post.

[Trokair]

What angle of approch did the dropship take?

 

Just wondering, if the line/angle of decent was such that Monat could have dropped early and starting securing the area/scouted ahead. It be a very (stealth) battle suit thing to do?

[Mazer Rackham]

The dropship flight would have been a standard, rapid approach to the landing site, which is the only one with a bit of bedrock close enough to the crash.

 

If you want to dive out early, not a problem, just write your narrative and I'll backfill.

 

It will be a hazardous drop though, since you know, sand and turbulence...

[Trokair]

If it is a fairly straight drop downwards as opposed to a sweeping in then I don’t think it will matter much. Will think about it and see what I can narratively forge.

[Mazer Rackham]

I've updated my recent post with some numbers for you Tro.

 

@ Beren, I do believe you are suspicious.  I assure you, in the name of the Tau'Va, it's all fine...

 

@ MG, oh you just had to didn't you!  Nicely done.

So whats the plan everybody, walk there ourself and have a look, send the drones, unleash Isengard the kroot?

 

 

Monat is in favour of getting to the distress signal asap and havign a look, with all due cautian of course.

@MR - I don't know what you mean   

 

@Beren - So you shoot the lizards with poisoned arrows and then you eat them?

[Mazer Rackham]

Tro, I'll update my last post with some options for Monat, since she's Junior Birdman-ning she will have a decent view.

 

And done.

@MR - I don't know what you meanB) ;) :yes: :whistling:

 

@Beren - So you shoot the lizards with poisoned arrows and then you eat them?

Given that the Kroot eat most things they kill, I'd imagine they o ly use toxins which they can tolerate.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, that would be my understanding as well.  Who doesn't like their 'desert chicken' spicy? ;)

[Trokair]

 

Monat:

 

Your quick eyes and powerful sensors pick up the following:

• To the north in the mountains, a flash of sunlight on steel, or maybe glass
• To the west, in the swirling mist and sand, 12 Tor'Kan from your landing spot, is a small, walled town
• To the east, there seems to be an animal herd wandering the desert in column.  Flags and silks announce it some kind of nomadic tribe.  They are several Decs from intercepting any kind of tracking expedition heading into the mountains.

 

 

So some people to the right, lots of people behind walls on the left and maybe some people ahead of us, charming.

[Mazer Rackham]

Wouldn't be an adventure without charming company now would it...?

[Trokair]

I know several players haven’t posted in a while and real life can keep people busy, so apologies if I am pushing this forward a little too much with Monats progression, I can edit to slow her down if needed. I just feel we might be stalling out a little over what I assume is a simple opening chapter to get the story momentum going.

[Mazer Rackham]

No that's fine.  I intended to push things onward, but I'm quite busy professionally and personally, so my eye has slipped off the ball a bit for which I apologise.

 

I'll update again shortly and move us all on, the others can catch up to the regular posters.

@Trokair - Maybe if the Scout in her fancy stealth-suit going off all 'Go-Go Gadget Jet Pack' actually reported back a bit, it would be nice.

 

OOC we know what you have found out. But IC we haven't heard from you apart your last squawk. 

[Trokair]

Will coble something together MG    Monat is a gal of few words, she's not telling me much either.

 

Edit: and done, not a indebth report by any recokning, but its all I could get out of her.

No worries, life happens.
