Comrade Commander

Corporation: Octan Planet: F09 - Arium Minor Job: Science Research --------- Start Transmission #004 --------- There wasn't much time this week for research as the Corporate Office kept me busy elsewhere. None the less, I was able to make a quick scientific trip to the planet surface to try and determine the densitity of the planetary core in order to determine the feasibility of deep penetrating mines. Fortunatately the new Ground Penetrating Radar was already calibrated so it worked wonders! I look forward to studying the results back in my lab once I have a few moments to relax. --------- End Transmission #004 ---------

Darksten accepts the offered loot with a "thanks" and prepares to go to the Gusty Ridge

Darksten repeats

Darksten repeats hoping for a different result.

This camp tends to remind me of Star Wars. I like it because it is small but packs a lot of details, and mixes modern with rustic very well.

This is a very impressive drone base. I like the attention to details and the contrast between the manmade base and the natural terrain. Very well done

Darksten cracks a hint of smile from behind his notched bow when his party leader speaks her praise. He quickly shifts gaze to another enemy though, and engages one of the remaining Black Adders Darksten targets Black Adder B with the Composite Bow from the back

Seeing his adversary fall, Darksten slings his spider string bow and takes out his composite one before switching targets Darksten attacks black adder A from back with composite bow

Corporation: Octan Planet: I06 - Yetornius Job: Science Research --------- Start Transmission #003 --------- Eureka,my research has proven successful! Having finally been able to get out from under Dr. Long, I was able to secure my own research vessel, which I have christened the O.C.S. Sui Juris I used it to take me to the hellish planet of Yetornius to test a hypothesis which I derived from studying some of Octan's collected Awesomnium. You see, though Awesomnium is a precious metal typically found in the solid form, I theorized that like other metals found elsewhere, it could be transformed into another state using extreme heat. Once the engineers equipped my new ship with the necessary tools and instruments, I instructed my pilot to fly me close to the surface to get readings. While the reckless flight crew seems to have taken my instructions to mean endangering everyone on board, I none the less was able to get a great sample. After filtering the air particles, I discovered tiny drops of Awesomnium liquid which had evaporated into the thin atmosphere! While it is too meager of an amount to effectively harvest for sale, this new advancement in understanding of this metal will no doubt help shape the future of the galaxy. It is a great day for science! You will have to excuse the quality of the images, the local flares interfere with my transmissions... --------- End Transmission #003 --------- C&C Welcome!

Darksten follows the crowd to the marsh, and seeing the foes before him he immediately wishes he had known to change artifacts. But with the fight already started, he quickly grabs for his Spider String Bow hoping the darkness within it will bring down the undead... Darksten attacks Creeping Hand B from the Back with Spider String Bow

"Forgive me, but did I miss how we know that the monster is to the West?" Darksten asks innocently "If that is the case, then I guess we can progress to the ghastly marsh."

Darksten moves to attack Nutterfly C from back

In regards to the "memory implant" upgrade, when you learn your second job, can you get double credit for a MOC that shows both jobs being used? For example, if a pilot learns the explorer job as a second skill and builds a space ship to explore an asteroid belt, do they get 6 gold instead of the usual 3? Just a question for consideration, thanks!

Corporation: Octan Planet: G07 - Hennigan II Job: Science Research --------- Start Transmission #002 --------- Dr. Long thinks she is in charge of me, but she only has sceniority because she begged to join Octan before I was recruited... Once they see the work I am capable of doing, they will change their minds! Never the less, now that I have been moved to planet G07 I am finally able to get planet side. Though my research has been hampered by the limited tools in Octan's new Science Outpost, I have already directed teams to areas my sensors indicate have items of particular interest. Hopefully those trigger happy spec ops teams bring me back something alive so I can observe how the native fuana behave. --------- End Transmission #002 --------- OOC: I havepretty much resigned myself to not getting quality images. I will continue to try and improve but combinations of time/equipment limit my ability.

"What...no, I can look after myself thank you" The assassin replies after interpreting Kintober's attempt to help as an insult. He hated having people feeling like he needed help more than he hated loosing control of his items. Instead of dwelling on the offer, the assassin went back to watching his bomb sail further away from him

"Uhh..." Darksten fumbles as he tries to think of ways to maintain his loot horde. "ok..." Seeing no other option to take as many targets down, and not wanting to appear as a non-team player, Darksten unhooked a lightning bomb and hurls it from the back

Darksten notches another arrow and repeats, hoping his aim will improve

Darksten's eyes flutter around the colorful shooting gallery. "This could be fun" he thinks as he... ... notches his composite bow and aims it towards Splatterfly C from the back

Couldn't you use a Magic Compass paired with a telescope? The compass would point you the right direction, and you could in theory scan the horizon for the monsters as I assume you could see at least majority of the sectors (flat fields, riverbed, etc). Obviously the mountains would block view... Might require some QM moderation/tweaking, but that might be the best option IMO.

Darksten smiles politely as the dagger is passed his way. The assassin considered himself too refined to get close to his target, but rather than be rude he simply holstered the blade as a backup tool. He then stood ready to follow the team to the butterfly plains seeing as it was the direction his party seemed headed toward

Is there a chance we could separate the discussions on rules from the introduction thread? The intros and following hails are blurring the important rule discussions and making I harder to go back and reference what has changed. Just my two cents that I figured I would throw out there before we got too many pages...

"Woah" Darksten whispers when the mound of gold is presented to him "thanks!" "I'm willing to go where ever the party wants too, though I do tend to think it is better to clear out the easier groves first as we may not get a chance to come back..."

Seeing he was actually targeting a dead corpse, Darksten shifts targets again to Dire Wolf F from the back

Ooc: is there a reason I wasn't rolled for after the first round of that last grouping? Also, Dire Wolf D was KO'd by Skrall twice... Darksten shifts targets to Dire wolf E from the back
