It's a ship. Much better than the death trap you just left. It's clean and everything is in place. The engineering section is cleaner than the mess area of most ships you have served on since you left the Solomani Confederation Marines. A couple of those as well...

No fleet in orbit around this world, so rooms are plentiful and discounts are available. You end up with a large room with very large variable gravity bed and bathroom like you haven't seen since you were body guarding pop stars. Water and sonic showers with variable output heads and a soaking tub that would be cozy for a half dozen. > Keep track of where we're going, and who may be in the area.

Here he goes and leaves the hatch to his quarters open just so she can overhear what is being said. Since she is monitoring his conditions under command (for medical baseline of course), she saunters over to listen in.

I find it extremely normal for captains to call meetings. It gives them something to do. Of course I might not be normal and therefore what I find normal would actually be abnormal.

From what I have read in each of our files. The Doctor, myself. And Mr. Luchenko, are the only Solomani on this ship.

Since it was you that seemed to have first brought this down upon us, would you mind telling us anything you might know about why they might be after Solomani spies. So conveniently upon our arrival? it seems to me that we were a pretty normal bunch till I started asking questions about you. Maybe we should discuss your previous activities over a game of golf... You do play golf don't you? Of course you do. All good Solomani play golf... Isn't that right Doctor?' While I am talking I will do the following. Hand Montez the piece of paper with the contact info I have for Theo written on it. No name of course. Just an ID number. Go over to the bridge hatch... Close the hatch... Take out my big black marker pen. (Just for you Red. LOL) Draw a horizontal line across the top of the hatch about a quarter of the way down. Draw a vertical line down from the horizontal line. Roughly dividing the hatch into equal halves. Above the left side of the divide write 'US'. Write 'THEM' on the other side. Put Montez and Kriger's names on the left side. Underneath that write. 'Send Message for Request for assistance''. Write Boris, Kat and my name underneath that. Below our names write 'Decoys' Write Kriger's name again. Below his name write. 'find patron and advise' On the right side of the divide write down the Lieutenant's name. Draw a couple of lines and to the right of them write down 'Pilots' below that write. 'How Many of Them?' Then write 'How Many Others on Port against us?' Draw a arrows from Montez and Kriger's names to this last two questions. Last on the left side Write Gwerf's and Spruance's names.

The doctor and I can go take care of the first two issues," he points to the contact of 'Theo' and discovering their opposition. "Kriger can double up on this with me," he holds up the contact information. "And take care of these," he points to contact patron and discovering the opposition. "He can follow the doctor and I by about ten minutes and then about 15 minutes later you and Boris can take care of our the last bit," he points to retrieving Gwerf and the Rat He looks at Kat, "What do you say Doctor?

She would have made cap turn around but he can override it anyway being captain. She usually changes it often so it won't be much of a problem anyway. "Ok boys, welcome to my abode. Have a seat and I'll get the stuff." Kat bends over and wiggles into the closet a bit and drags out a locker. Losing her balance a bit, she stumbles and sits down rather heavily at the Captains feet. She rubs her rump a bit and grimaces. "Well THAT's not what I had in mind. Oh well, now that I'm down here, might as well get the rest of it." She turns over on her stomach and wiggles under the bed, soon re-emerging with another container which she had labeled "Steiner". Kat stood up and lifted the container off the bed box. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out a key and unlocked the closet box. Taking a big breath, she opens the box and stands back so the guys can look at it also.

What you find: Rucksack(Backpack) Duffle Bag Flack Vest Goggles LI/IR Leather Gloves Respirator Advanced Combat Rifle Bowie Knife Assault Vest Respirator Coveralls several sets of clothing The ACR is unloaded and no magazines or ammunition for it are with the other gear. There is another rifle, still in the shipping case. The one Kriger bought for Steiner on your last stop. 7.7mm caseless Hunting Rifle with a detachable 15 round magazine. Very sturdy with a hard irradiated plastic stock and fore grip that looks like a light wood grain. Optical scope and an adjustable ballistic nylon sling. You note that there is no electronics to be found and the coloring of the rifle and sling would blend well with a night, wooded or desert background. Two spare magazines and 100 rounds. What is obviously missing is what Steiner had on his person when he left the ship. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lensmen eat Jedi for breakfast http://www.urbin.net/T20PBEM/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From t20gm at urbin.net Mon Jan 7 21:11:16 2008 From: t20gm at urbin.net (T20GM) Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:11:16 -0500 Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 11:xx Ridge Downport Shipboard In-Reply-To: <4782B273.7060400@robmiracle.com> References: <162689.26948.qm@web60422.mail.yahoo.com> <4782B273.7060400@robmiracle.com> Message-ID: <4782F7E4.3010505@urbin.net> Rob Miracle wrote: > Kriger will call up Sir Jace's Percomm (most likely interrupting > something he shouldn't).

There isn't much that I want left so shall we say I'll donate it to the ship? I'll take some of his clothes for ritual burning and spacing later, although the one sweatshirt IS comfy.

What kind of > decoy? A gal needs to dress appropriately you know." Look at the Doctor. "Nothing either complicated or extravagant Doctor. The powers that be are going to be looking for us. So we are going to be reasonably easy to find. We'll put on a bit of a show of sorts. You know going to a couple of the shadier places on port. Just to give them reason to concentrate on us. This will give our Vargr a chance to pick up on anyone following us. This will also give them the opportunity to go off on their own for at least a short time to see what they can find out. Of course this whole thing could be just one big red herring. So I figure one big red herring deserves another." "As far as attire is concerned. You'll probably be a little disappointed... We're dressing down. So as to more easily blend in with the locals. Jump suits or something similar. Working shoes and assorted gear and weapons. I don't expect to get into a fight.

The hinges and latch look to be same material and are bonded to the box in a matter that says this can be a working box 500 years from now. At appears to be just a box. It just emits a feeling of boxness to you. Taking it apart would be easy with a laser cutter.

That's easy for HIM to say that." Kat shut up once she realized she was talking to herself and started to rummage through her stuff. Black form fitting jeans, black running shoes, one of Karl's least offensive t-shirts, and his burgendy sweatshirt completed her outfit. The sweatshirt kept sliding off one shoulder but she decided it looked cute enough on her that way to leave it. She adjusted the sweatshirt to cover the personal medkit she wore (on the non slipping side) and looked at the gun still on the bed. She had taken it out wondering if she should carry it or rely on the guys. Checking her watch, she quickly put in a call to Mitch as she slips a few cred sticks in her bra and pocket. After he answers, she politely ask: "Captain, do I need my gun for this decoy thing? I'm not sure it will fit well with my outfit." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

She is sure that he's read her file that showed she knows how to use a firearm but wasn't the best with it. Kat was totally convinced though that the guys would be more than adequate. She secured her gun on her hip and pulled the sweatshirt over it. Kat made up a portable first aid kit, keeping in mind that bullet holes might be in the making and/or knife wounds, and put it in an over the shoulder bag. There was enough room in there for her percom and an exta ammo clip so she added those also. A quick braiding of her hair and some lip gloss, she looked at herself in the mirror. Feeling totally frumpy with a gun on, she secured her quarters and medbay and went to meet up with Mitch. Upon finding the guys, she does a quick turn asking... "Well?

Most of the port buildings, including this one, are underwater. The port is located on a sea mountain top that comes very close to the surface. This is a large open atrium like area inside one of those submerged structures. One wall is actually clear and shows a bit of the bright sunlight filtering down through the water. So, the setup of the IN offices is the latter. The door to the place is across the atrium, but you have now way of telling how extensive it actually is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lensmen eat Jedi for breakfast http://www.urbin.net/T20PBEM/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From rob at robmiracle.com Wed Jan 9 20:40:31 2008 From: rob at robmiracle.com (Rob Miracle) Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 22:40:31 -0500 Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 11:xx Ridge Downport Shipboard In-Reply-To: <47836C58.7000302@urbin.net> References: <162689.26948.qm@web60422.mail.yahoo.com> <4782B273.7060400@robmiracle.com> <4782F7E4.3010505@urbin.net> <47830277.4010308@robmiracle.com> <47836C58.7000302@urbin.net> Message-ID: <478593AF.1020905@robmiracle.com> T20GM wrote: >> Perfect, he didn't turn it off.

Start the conversation out talking about moving some of our speculative cargo, perhaps the porn videos. Lead the conversation talking smack about my cocky XO who thinks he's the hotest pilot in the sector though he's good, I bet there are pilots here who could fly circles around him. Ideally that will get them talking about hot pilots and see if he can tie them to Lt. Kerenikh. Hopefully I can get names and a count of pilots under his leadership and perhaps what kind of hardware they fly. I'll work a couple of different dock hands if necessary (and if I can find leads on moving some of this cargo . . .) Next head into the starport, and visit a dive that pilots and INS personell would likely hangout at and see whats going on there, buy a few rounds for key subjects who might have some loose lips. If I get real lucky I might from some Chief Petty Officer who would give this old sailor a tour of the local station and visually inspect the equipment. Then we will see how sucessful I am and move on from there. -- Rob Miracle rob at robmiracle.com http://www.robmiracle.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Look over my little subterfuge crew and assure myself that we're ready. I have fewer doubts about Boris. He looks capable enough. Kat will have to be watched at east to begin with to make sure she doesn't get into any more trouble than we might normally expect. To myself I'm thinking that I'm not really expecting to much trouble. but out of the way bars and clubs can get a little quirky. I've been in enough of them over the years. We'll see how well it all comes back. "Okay then... Let the game begin." Lead the way out of the hatch. I'm guessing the Vargr have already gone. Now we just have to locate Spruance and Dr. Gwerf.

He has done the bodyguard/security thing before so he sarts with that. He has a side arm and his cutlass as well as some varied tools but nothing that looks like it might slow him down. He might be wearing soft body armor too.

He'll order a fruit drink and grab some meat jerky if they have any. Yummy meat jerky. It's obviously vat grown, but for that not bad. Good seasoning. The fruit drink is tangy and tastes very fresh. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Mmmmm.. tangy fruit juice. Definitely a vargr taste treat. Make a note of the brand to buy some before departing. +++++++++++++++++++++++ > How is the office set up? Does the IN have a whole office building or > is it a smaller set up in a larger building. Most of the port buildings, including this one, are underwater. The port is located on a sea mountain top that comes very close to the surface. This is a large open atrium like area inside one of those submerged structures. One wall is actually clear and shows a bit of the bright sunlight filtering down through the water. So, the setup of the IN offices is the latter. The door to the place is across the atrium, but you have now way of telling how extensive it actually is. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Does the INI office have a sign over it or is it a blank door?

She isn't a spacer by trade, but she has spend the last few years travelling on small space craft. She mentally notes that it's just after noon local time, and the ship opened its airlock at 0945 local time, and the former IN members had to go to the IN offices before Gwerf and the Rat could do anything. Dr. Cross can't think of a single port she has been in that would have started a major refit, such as a ship's life support system, in under two hours.

"I'm not sure about how IN does thing captain, but I really don't think Rat is intentionally messing up your schedule. If there is one thing I've noticed about him is that he is soooo into the ship that it's not funny. Actually he is being pretty brave going OFF the ship in the first place. It is totally out of his "safe" environment". Going into a bookstore probably was one of the better things for him. It is something that would have grounded him. Knowing him, he probably is looking for the latest manuals or stuff for engineering. Those engines purr almost as good as I do. Didn't they have to go to the IN offices before he and Gwerfie could do anything? I mean this IS a major refit job right? We haven't been in port that long for them to REALLY have started." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Look at Kat directly. The fire in my eyes dimming as I listen to what she is saying. Give the doctor a hand signal indicating to hold that thought while I finish with Gwerf. Finish my conversation with Gwerf before I answer the doctor. Then... Calmly... "Yes Doctor. Things do work somewhat differently in the IN than they do in civilian life. Maybe I am expecting to much. But Spruance still should have notified me of any delays. He's been in the navy. He should know this. Or at least according to his record he's been in the navy. How someone like him managed to stay in the navy as long as he did is somewhat beyond me. He seems particularly insubordinate. Something that no military in the universe tolerates for very long. And I don't care if he has the Midas touch when it comes to the ship. If he isn't following instructions. He's endangering all of us. As far as being in a 'safe' environment. Well that's something he will have to deal with. When we leave here to go off on Jace's adventure, all of us are going. No one is being left behind for the local port commander to pick up and mess with while the rest of us are gone. Intentional or not Doctor. He is endangering us all. That is completely unacceptable. If I have to set one of the Vargr to nursemaid Spruance I will. But they wont like it one bit. And frankly. I have better things for them to do rather than baby sitting an insubordinate engineer." Look over at Boris a moment. thinking to myself that perhaps the doctor has been hanging around these inferiors far to long. Look back at the doctor.

Oh it has a sign. Very noticeable. Plus recruiting posters for the Imperial Navy and Marines. You have notice those, and recruiting posters for the Imperial Army, through out the station. It's like there is a war on on something. The screen your menu was displayed on is now showing advertisements for current holovids playing on the station.

It is the responsibility of the commanding officer to assure the safety of his crew. They work together as a team. When one of them stops following instructions the entire machine breaks down rather quickly. That is one of the reasons that ship commanders may appear to be so harsh on their crew. We require them to follow instructions or orders to the best of their ability. If I have to guess at how one of my crew is going to handle themselves in a situation then they are useless to not only me, but to the rest of their shipmates as well. We have to be able to count on each other. Otherwise it's a recipe for disaster." -- Captain Alexander "Mad Dog" Mitchell Kat, immensely pleased that she'll get to see the file, smiles at Mitch.

Booth. If the the only other patrons of the bar are the two large men, there should be plenty of booths available. Pick one that is either near a back exit, if there is one, and also affords at least one if not all of us to watch the front entrance and as much of the rest of the room as possible. Don't pay the two large gentlemen anything more than a passing glance. Give the bartender a nod as we pass the bar. Offer a seat to the Doctor on the inside if possible. Indicate to Boris I would like him to sit next to the doctor. I will sit opposite them. This way Boris and I can at least watch each other's sixes.

No back exit from what you can tell. There is a door behind the bar, and thus not meant for customer access. You find an empty booth near the entrance with nobody in either of the adjoining booths. You can see the entrance and the part of the bar with the door from there. It does not provide a view of both of the bar patrons and the bartender has moved to the end of the bar that is beyond your site. > Don't pay the two large gentlemen anything more than a passing > glance.

The table display shows a menu of both food and drink. The Confed Whiskey list is good, but the prices are very expensive. The cheapest is Cr75 a shot.

Oh it has a sign. Very noticeable. Plus recruiting posters for the Imperial Navy and Marines. You have notice those, and recruiting posters for the Imperial Army, through out the station. It's like there is a war on on something. The screen your menu was displayed on is now showing advertisements for current holovids playing on the station. "Against the Barbarian Hordes of Terra" looks flashy. It promises lots of action. The courageous IN Captain Enri Iikheneniik hunts down that vile and cowardly Solomani Pirate Dirk Arnaud. -- Hmmmm.. not terribly into the Solomani vs Imperium thing but certainly into the brave pirate pillaging the stuffy Vilani. Think back to puppyhood and the stirring stories of how the Vargr corsairs singlehandedly overthrew the decadent Vilani Imperium...

Well, except for the rich chestnut colored hair that is where one would expect it on a human female. "Follow me please." She leads you to a small conference room.

Ya, I'm being a pest about this, but I often carry a cane and I know what a pain it can be to comfortably store a meter long, inflexible object without wacking the other people sitting at the booth/table.

That seating arrangement would be a bit too crowded, especially with two large men, and one carrying a meter long pig sticker to boot. The seating arrangement is as described, Mad Dog on one side, with Boris and Dr. Cross on the other. Dr. Cross is on the inside of the table. She notes the casual manner in which Boris removes his cutlass sheath and places between the two of you without wacking anyone with it. Your guess is that he has a lot of practice. He wears and carries as casually as other men wear pants.

Take exactly Cr576 from Boris. Storm up to an empty place at the bar. When the bartender comes to where I am...Throw the credits at him. And in a commanding tone. "I want that previous tab cleared before you start over charging me for something else in this dive. And I want a real human server. Not these tin cans you call servers.

The only other really interesting thing you find is that Surit has another cousin who would be really interested in your barrels. Wood being at a premium on this planet and all that. Seems he makes a "whiskey" based on a maize based seaweed hybrid. Aging it in actual wood barrels would turn it into a viable exotic suitable for export and thus higher prices. Of course, that is what the bastard traders who cheat him on the price do once they get it off world. Before you leave, you have a meeting set up for 2030 tonight at tavern run by one of Surit's uncles. > Kriger! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lensmen eat Jedi for breakfast http://www.urbin.net/T20PBEM/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From t20gm at urbin.net Thu Jan 17 06:15:22 2008 From: t20gm at urbin.net (T20GM) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:15:22 -0500 Subject: [Pulp] SPAM:: Re: 061-1000 12:40 Ridge Downport - Lone Star Bar & Grill In-Reply-To: <30B26C72-0067-46F6-8BC0-BDC733ADD67E@travellercentral.com> References: <380-22008131662936423@mindspring.com> <478DF78C.7000405@urbin.net> <7FF3E948-9DE9-4D2E-99B2-3C785DCD9613@travellercentral.com> <5727e2910801160648k29e9e44ciae5fe7d0303f9687@mail.gmail.com> <30B26C72-0067-46F6-8BC0-BDC733ADD67E@travellercentral.com> Message-ID: <478F54EA.2070306@urbin.net> Captain Mitchell wrote: [snip] >> The table goes blank.

He gets to move a couple of the cargos. That means he needs to keep his eyes out for a new load. Since he seems to have run out of information options at this bar, he will move on to try and find a pub with IN staff or find where the navel ships would moor and see if I can hang out there for a bit. On the way, call Sir Jace and Ms. A again (OOC this should be around 30-45 minutes after the last call I guess). Presuming the communications of this era are a bit more advanced, that 21st century earth, there should be an alert/pager function that would trigger a different sound/alert to go off. So after calling again and leaving a message, call back a second time in "Page" mode. Kriger doesn't want to disappoint the Captain on the other hand, this doesn't seem to as immediate a threat so Kriger is not going to escalate this to a 911 level yet. If he doesn't hear back in another 30 then escalate. -- -- Rob Miracle rob at robmiracle.com http://www.robmiracle.com From helvorn at yahoo.com Thu Jan 17 20:46:50 2008 From: helvorn at yahoo.com (Matt Ashley) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:46:50 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 12:30 Ridge Downport - Montez & Gwe Message-ID: <217900.88263.qm@web60419.mail.yahoo.com> "Dunno...

Unfortunately very few web clients (gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc.) play well. And Outlook is a real mess. Lets say I post the text in a new message: How Now Brown Cow Cow Now How Brown Rob -- My Signature Block You reply to it, the message should look like: Rob Miracle wrote: > How Now Brown Cow > Cow Now How Brown > > Rob >-- >My Signature Block You are to remove the signature block, its -- pre line and my name above the sig block since I'm no attributed at the top. and your reply goes below the >'ed lines. With your reply, the message should look like Rob Miracle wrote: > How Now Brown Cow > Cow Now How Brown I don't like Cows, I prefer Horses Matt -- Your signature block. Then when I or the next person replies, you end up with: Matt Ashley wrote: > Rob Miracle wrote: >> How Now Brown Cow >> Cown Now How Brown > > I don't like Cows, I prefer Horses > > Matt >--ope >Your signature block. Now at this point before I reply, I need to kill your bottom name and signature block and depending on context, remove my original message as we have already read it. So the resulting message to be sent would then end up: Matt Ashley wrote: > > I don't like Cows, I prefer Horses Horses are cool too. The GM -- The GM's Sig block This system keeps the amount of quoted material down, we already have read it. Now if you need to keep parts of two or three poster's message for context purpose, thats okay. You maintain multiple levels with additional >'s. This is the long standing Usenet/Mailing list replying standard. I wish today's web mail clients worked correctly. Even dedicated mailers like Thunderbird and Eudora now use pipes (|) instead of greater than signs in their graphical displays, though the clear text uses the >'s. Hope this helps.

You are met by the door by two SPA Security types in riot gear (up armored Combat Environment Suits). The one in front has a gauss carbine. It looks like the same model the Imperial Marines use.The other SPA Security Guard has a SNUB SMG. They look, well, anonymously threating behind their black helmet face shields. Their body language speaks volumes to Mad Dog. These guys are not small star port wannabees playing with milspec equipment. They block your way out as they come through the door. They are followed by a young woman with the rich, dark complexion and dark hair common through the Imperium. She is also carrying a gauss carbine and her flack jacket has an Imperial Ministry of Justice emblem on it. She looks at your group, "Boris Luchenko. I have an Imperial Warrant for your arrest. It is strongly suggested that you cooperate." -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lensmen eat Jedi for breakfast http://www.urbin.net/T20PBEM/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From t20gm at urbin.net Sun Jan 20 22:08:16 2008 From: t20gm at urbin.net (T20GM) Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:08:16 -0500 Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 12:55 Ridge Downport - Lone Star Bar & Grill - The Solomani Gang In-Reply-To: <380-22008112145659843@mindspring.com> References: <380-22008112145659843@mindspring.com> Message-ID: <479428C0.4000000@urbin.net> subadai at mindspring.com wrote: > Boris, not entirely sure what game the Captain is playing or what the > Doctor was doing just keeps quiet and leaves with them.

Unfortunately very few web clients (gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc.) play well. And Outlook is a real mess. Lets say I post the text in a new message: How Now Brown Cow Cow Now How Brown Rob -- My Signature Block You reply to it, the message should look like: Rob Miracle wrote: > How Now Brown Cow > Cow Now How Brown > > Rob >-- >My Signature Block You are to remove the signature block, its -- pre line and my name above the sig block since I'm no attributed at the top. and your reply goes below the >'ed lines. With your reply, the message should look like Rob Miracle wrote: > How Now Brown Cow > Cow Now How Brown I don't like Cows, I prefer Horses Matt -- Your signature block. Then when I or the next person replies, you end up with: Matt Ashley wrote: > Rob Miracle wrote: >> How Now Brown Cow >> Cown Now How Brown > > I don't like Cows, I prefer Horses > > Matt >--ope >Your signature block. Now at this point before I reply, I need to kill your bottom name and signature block and depending on context, remove my original message as we have already read it. So the resulting message to be sent would then end up: Matt Ashley wrote: > > I don't like Cows, I prefer Horses Horses are cool too. The GM -- The GM's Sig block This system keeps the amount of quoted material down, we already have read it. Now if you need to keep parts of two or three poster's message for context purpose, thats okay. You maintain multiple levels with additional >'s. This is the long standing Usenet/Mailing list replying standard. I wish today's web mail clients worked correctly. Even dedicated mailers like Thunderbird and Eudora now use pipes (|) instead of greater than signs in their graphical displays, though the clear text uses the >'s. ++++++ That helps, thanks.

Are they blocking all three of us from leaving. or just Boris? "Excuse me... May I ask what the charges are against Mr. Luchenko? And may I please view the arrest warrant? And who, may I ask brought the charges against Mr. Luchenko?" Mostly I want to see if this is a local warrant or an actual Imperial warrant. As in the type of warrant signed by the emperor himself and states something to the effect of 'What has been done, has been done by the bearer of this warrant in the name of the emperor' kind of imperial warrant. I also want to try and find out if the lieutenant had anything to do with getting Boris arrested.

I will not interfere. I will however be watching closely to make sure there is no impropriety on the part of the arresting official or her subordinates. Once they have Boris secured, I will look at the arresting official again with an expression of... WELL?? One I usually reserve for crew that are not quite up to speed on something. I still want my questions answered before they haul him off. And I have one or two more before they depart as well. Because they still haven't told Boris exactly why he's being arrested. -- Captain Alexander "Mad Dog" Mitchell From t20gm at urbin.net Tue Jan 22 21:37:23 2008 From: t20gm at urbin.net (T20GM) Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:37:23 -0500 Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 12:55 Ridge Downport - Lone Star Bar & Grill -The Solomani Gang In-Reply-To: References: <380-22008122251750628@mindspring.com> <4796BC79.7020701@urbin.net> Message-ID: <4796C483.3030504@urbin.net> Captain Mitchell wrote: [snip] > I will not interfere. > I will however be watching closely to make sure there is no > impropriety on the part of the arresting official or her subordinates. By the book. Well, it could be the book. You really haven't had much experience with the Imperial Ministry of Justice. You've seen IN & IM security units before and these people certainly had that shipshape and squared away look about them. Competent and professional. > Once they have Boris secured, I will look at the arresting official > again with an expression of... WELL?? > One I usually reserve for crew that are not quite up to speed on > something. "Nobody leaves until we collect your statements." is what the pretty lady says. Ya, pretty, but in a hard and dangerous way. She appears to have other concerns than the harsh looks of patrons in a space port tavern. She follows Boris and the SPA guard out, and a human male that looks in his early to mid twenties comes in. He looks like what a Confed crime drama would get if they asked for a young leading man type from Central Casting. White even teeth set in a ruggedly handsome face. The skin tone could be natural or the result of tropical suns turning that shade of bronze. His hair is a few shades darker and just long enough to show a hint of natural curl. He is also wearing a flack jacket with the IMoJ logo. The assault shotgun is hanging from its tactical harness and doesn't impede his entrance. "My apologies for any inconvenience. I'm Imperial Deputy Marshall Caliban. I'll be collecting statements from each of you in turn. After I have your statement, you are free to leave, but do not leave the Port without contacting the SPA security office and obtaining clearance." With a flashing smile, he steps over to the only occupied booth, where the lights are on in a nice and friendly matter and begins to speak in low tones with the the human male and Aslan female who were sitting there. The door is still blocked by a SPA Security Guard. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lensmen eat Jedi for breakfast http://www.urbin.net/T20PBEM/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From subadai at mindspring.com Tue Jan 22 22:01:32 2008 From: subadai at mindspring.com (subadai at mindspring.com) Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2008 21:01:32 -0800 Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 12:55 Ridge Downport - Lone Star Bar & Grill-The Solomani Gang Message-ID: <380-2200813235132216@mindspring.com> > > With neither haste nor exagerated slowness Boris does exactly as instructed > > One of the SPA guards slings his carbine, and instructs Boris to slowly > raise his hands above his head and lace his fingers together, palms up. > Once Boris does so, he will carefully approach and give a quick pat down. > "He's armored." > He then instructors Boris to lower his left hand behind him. > Y'all know the drill.

It's a bit cramped for you. On the plus side, a grav field in your tiny compartment holds you nice and snuggly. You are zipped quickly through the complex to the SPA Security offices.

He has no special attachment to "things" like that though so there is a variety of makers from different systems. Among his gear may even be a locally purchased item ( and therefore reciept for it ). Much of the gear back at the ship is old and Confed in origin although not military. An astute person could follow his journies by his gear. Not beinig an actual spy means he has had no reason to hide where he has been. He has no journal or diary though.

Some additional GM Note: Boris mustered out in 992. The war started in 900. The Sollies made advances early in the war. You probably started out in systems held by the Confed, but the Imperial advance left you on the other side of the front. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lensmen eat Jedi for breakfast http://www.urbin.net/T20PBEM/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From mcrobertson at cix.compulink.co.uk Fri Jan 25 02:11:00 2008 From: mcrobertson at cix.compulink.co.uk (Megan Robertson) Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:11 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Pulp] 061-1000 12:30 Ridge Downport - The Rat Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <4798F2D1.6010304 at urbin.net> > "The logs show you shaved a few days off the jump from Mixem system > to the Hakalau system.
