Ok - updated and PMs to - Lily, Nosferatu, Courier, Fox and The Fool.

I'm not feeling so well right now and check back tomorrow with you all.

Hope you like it.

sorry I've been AWOL folks, works been ... works has been extremely crappy.

Anyways I PMed Joani and I'll wait to hear back from her before I post.

I can understand the whole work thing. Between work and personal life, getting to the computer has been difficult. Heck, even at work its difficult to get some rest.

Well work has been worse of late due to these factors:

- I'm on vacation next week, so obviously this one needs to be rough.
- The FDA is visiting and that's just so damn fun
- I had an error threaten to void two straight days of work yesterday though that had turned out to be much less worse than I had thought.

My personal life has been quiet, otherwise I'd probably be in a padded room at the moment!

I should be fine moving forward though. At least until next week, my ability to get online during vacation will be spotty.

Where do you want to drop, Callum?

umm ... wherever the most dots are?

Since I can't see the map I can't really tell you where I want to go execpt to say that I want to compare the frequency of Newton's appearances to locations, if one stands out as being visited more I'd like to go there. Barring that I will simply visit the most recently reported location.

ok - that'll be the Northern Sea. Void would drop you into the ocean...

Well either there's an island there or a ship of some sort, I can look through the warp and be certain either way before committing

I could have Gray grow wings and fly you around if you liked.

ok - gotta wait for Void then. The marks on the map are about 200 miles away from the Denmark Shore. There are no known Islands there and sat-pictures show just water. Let me know what you do and how and I wrap it up for you.

May be a good idea if there is neither island nor boat to have somebody dive under the sea and determine if there isn't something below the water.

Edit: Callum has decent Athletics skill he could do some scuba recon

Not to seem excessively "me-me-me," but Bodymorph: Liquid and Shapeshift and Adaptation make Gray Goo really good at underwater activities.

that works, Callum will hit the next viable target then, it seems a good idea to start getting some recon in is all.

You can go both to the same spot or pick different locations. But I'd still like to wait for Void and The_Fool before I move forward.

Nosferatu is going to scout the Blackburn, and try to see if there are any leads to where Caroline is located. (I am assuming that Newton is following her)

ok - I'll wait for early tomorrow my time - I assume Nos will checkout the Blackburn and the rest of the team heads toward Denmark/Northern Sea?

Hmm, guess I should have read this before posting. Looks like I might have to do some editing.

So we can get a boat and I could warp into the area of the ocean that we need.

Nos will only check out the Blackburn if he can be immediately warped to to the North Sea/Denmark should Newton be there. If not, he will travel with the rest of the team to the last known location.

@Nos - you can be transported back immediately - I'll try to update both parts today.

Well, Gray doesn't need a boat. If anyone else is checking the ocean location, they might.

I'd like to see if I can find the crashed airplane as well...under the sea! Under the sea!

Question for the ST: Does the ability to transform into Water include the ability to breath water?

@Courier - I've always handled it that way. I do believe it says so in the rules, but don't ask me for the page. For this game - you won't drown under water if transformed into water - same as you won't burn if you transform into fire.

The description for Bodymorph: Liquid states something about being able to breathe, I think. It also doubles your movement rate under or through water, if I remember right.

Adaptation would also mitigate, of course.

Sean has Adaptability and will go underwater.

So do I...and so will I.

Unless Sean objects.

Hmm... Just the generic water form, in water, works pretty well. (Page 185; basic package is 2x running speed, flexibility, ability to breath and function under water) Don't ask me why that didn't occur to me earlier... I feel kind of silly but this hasn't come up before.

Well, then, Cherub would be great in water.

Transformed he'd be...
Density Decrease, Some flavor of Invis or Catfooted usable only in water (water is hard to see in water), Armor I guess since water is tough, and nothing other than the basic package comes to mind.

My general impression was that Sean took the boat and such.

The thread moved on before I could say anything but I figure we would already know or have some way to detect the airplanes black box...?

Sean is heading into the water. He has adaptability and invisibility. He can't move as fast as you water types, but he doesn't need to breath and he might be useful if you need to rip a plane apart.

He doesn't need a boat.

I was about to post but a friend needs an emergency ride to an appointment
I'll be back on later.

Read your latest Callum. That was funny! But OOCly The Fool can't breathe underwater withour the rebreather tech installed in his suit.

Well I doubt he would know that you had that

I certainly didn't

I will update the Northern Sea Scene later - I got early shift tomorrow and will post from work. That'll be around midnight your time.

I'm going to wait for Callum - if by the end of my day he didn't post I'll update the divers.

He updated!

Incidentally I love pecan pie...

I do hope you are all enjoying the Fool now that we've moved past the controversy. It's fun to write more theatrically for a change.

And if you want a successful mission I strongly suggest that you not share that information with the rest of us, or at least, not in those words.

Are you addressing me or Nos? :p

Calling all divers - are you following Jack or try to escape?
