Do you mean with "us" Omar and Joani or the group as whole? Because right now I'm not sure how to do it. Sorry for the delay then, if everyone was waiting for me.

Andrew is at home passed out, until either A) somebody calls for him or B) we move forward as little.

He's off ship for the teeps since he's a liability there so I shouldn't be holding those folks up

I don't think Andrew needs to be off the ship for this one.

I had set the scene earlier and was just waiting for you guys to post that it was all a go. If you want I can go ahead and post the snatch itself.

I'm pretty sure that Courier was going to use the teleporter on them. From there we go to the interrogations. Since they will be dampened, I don't see why Omar and Joani couldn't be in on the questioning. In my experience, the more questions asked, the better off we all are.

In theory, the more questions asked, the more they will learn.

I think we should.

I still don't see Joani doing the snatch, i. e. planning it. She'll be there if needed what I'm assuming right now. She would be there at the interrogation to support Ulric but wouldn't neglect protecting the President.

is this ST comment that I am fine or table talk that I should have more confidence in my serum?

either way unless somebody wakes Andrew He'll miss at least some of it.

I think we're 6 to 12 hours past the point where Andrew fell asleep, and Steve would want everyone awake for this. If we make our move and the generators melt then it'd be bad if the guy in charge has to sleep for more hours.

Small RL-Update - I'm going to move to a new appartment on Sat. 17th. My online presence will be greatly reduced from today till then since I got several things to do in preparation for the move.

I try to be around at least once a day before I go to bed and keep myself updated. But posting will be scarce/just once per day probably. After the weekend I hope to resume my usual online presence on the boards. Thank you for your patience.

Courier that was the point of Andrew's last post, giving you the security override that would disconnect every region from its neighbors world wide. We might lose some of the system but the whole would be protected. However if the timing is to be that long Andrew will surely be functional, not on ship though, something doesn't feel right to me.

Problem is that we're going to jump a light year away right after we nab these guys. If there are problems, we won't see them until after the fact.

More reason for me to stay off ship, if some sort of shenanigans go down I'll be earthside to prevent it, deal with it, or initiate cleanup. Hopefully the former and not one of the latter.

One question,

Where are Joani, Omar, and the Prez going to be during this?

There is a high probability I'll be computer-less this weekend.

I figure Omar is going to be on Lorien for most of it. Periodically, he will find Steve and Amber to keep an eye on his favorite grandchildren. Just to make sure they are safe.

Heck of an intro Fiction SkyLion.

I gather all of us can respond?

Joani is going to be with the President unless needed somewhere else - even then she would try to remain as close as possible to the President. Or with other words - it would need someone to talk her into doing something else than watching the President...

Very nice post Cody. That will work very well to lead us on to our next chapter after the alien encounter and to wrap up this timeline.

Thanks all! Yeah it was about time. And everyone can join in (hence the invitation at the beginning).

I felt Cody needed a coming out party after 60 years.

Soooooo..... No one has anything to say in the meeting thread? I hope not!

I'm trying to deal with how well Ulric would take Cody's arrogant tone. It comes across as if he has made THE Decision and the rest of us must accept that.

Cody's tone is far from arrogant. In fact what he says sounds like the most reasonable thing you have ever heard. I havent said anything until now but I feel like people forget he has Mega Manip 5. I cant portray that on my own I need all of your help. Theoretically he should be able to sell ice cream to Eskimos...

PM to Cody.

Hey guys. Sorry for being out of touch lately, just a bunch of RL stuff that came all at once. I should be on a regular schedule after the next day or so and back to my normal posting level.

Willpower 10, Luck 5, Mega-Manip 2, and 70 or so years trying to set this up.

It'd be hard to convince Steve to leave before we have the cure.

Having said that, as an experiment, *IF* we're willing to go back in time and undo it, I think we could go public just to see what happens, i.e. just to create a temporal break.

Break Points:
Going public that we're time travelers.
Going public with Lorean is yet another.

@Steve - Your last post... it doesn't make sense unless you are on earth. Nothing of that conversation has been sent over the link - I at least mark that in red. Unless you have a way to eavesdrop on that conversation without the link I don't see how you could respond to that. Joani for sure wouldn't have said that infront of you or any of the others besides Ulric. Maybe you have to edit your post or delete it.

agreed I thought that was a conversation in person on earth only.

we have two conversations going on, one in fiction and one IC real time.

Omar Joani & Andrew are talking. I'd thought Andrew was examining the 2 knocked out guys as well. Those 2 are on the ship.

Re: Earthside
Nope as I said earlier in TT, Andrew will not be going near those Teeps until we are 100% that his drug will function while they are fully awake.

Re: Finding an Earth with a cure
I'm assuming that this will not be happening but it is an interesting question. Fox has told me that I will be the one to develop the cure though.

Then my bad. I edited it to be over the link... but if anyone wants I could just delete it.

Jesus Ive created a monster! The fic thread that is. If y'all can pause enough to let me catch my breath I can get a word in edgewise, but it wont be until later today. Sleepytime now.

He glows, for pete's sake

I though Steve was the glowstick?

Man I'm confused ... too many Aberrant games.

Steve has the power Biolum... which he's done very little with.

Omar glows and has feeding requirement: salt.

I might be forgetting on since FR:Salt is probably medium level.

feeding requirment can be low level, depends on the in game effects

True, but I still don't remember whether or not Omar has something else on top of it. He's either Taint 5 or Taint 6.

In either case he's definitely on the path of power and madness.

He's Taint 5.

I was bucking for Feeding Reqirement: Sand, but Fox decided that Salt would work better. Omar's feeding requirement will increase as his taint rises; either in the amount of salt needed, or the effects from being without it. IIRC, feeding Requirement starts as a low level aberration. Of course, at medium or higher levels, it could mean substances that are rarer or have consequences when consumming.

yup - although Andrew is also only taint 5 I have chosen to play his feeding requirment as a high level aberration, he literally cannot regain quantum without regular portions.
