Hey browncoats, so where do we want to go next with our crew? I was thinking we can use the upcoming computer scene to drive the action forward but what are they going to dig up in there. Thoughts? :-) maybe something about the academy itself? Hollywood Heidi DarkSideCookie Kristi Lynne Lady Lee-o

Not sure about all that but if Mal and the crew end up in a scrape- Madison and Sally would be happy to help. Medieval Kevin

Good question! Well, I made it sound like the tablet had a well of info, so could be on the academy, some stuff on the Alliance. We can say that it's really vast and that there's so much to weed through, that way we can continue to "stumble across" whatever info we think can be useful in pushing the plot forward. So that being said, what information would be useful right now? Well, that depends on where we want to go next. Wendy does need more of an immediate help but it's not necessary for them to have to work around my character. Niska can always be a looming threat that we can come face to face with at any time so we can, if you guys want to, have a need to go and steal equipment or supplies from some Alliance base or have to sneak Wendy in like in the ep Ariel. We could try to work Madison and her crew in to help with that. In that case, might be easier if someone from within Firefly has worked with Madison and crew before. I could have Wendy be the connection. I was thinking that eventually, after Wendy doesn't need Simon's help anymore, maybe she could join Madison's crew so that we have more players there. Firefly is already almost fully loaded. Or if you guys would rather skip some side thing with Wendy and stick with Niska stuff, I'm totally fine also having it so that Simon figures the way to cure Wendy without having to draw it out with sneaking and stealing and the like. I'm perfectly fine with what the majority would like to do!

Whatever we decide, I think it's probably a good time right now to do a time jump to next morning. It'll give us a refresh/reset as I feel like we've gotten a little in a slump right now. Wendy needs rest anyway, so I don't think they'd fully jump in and start spending hours pouring over all that data. Perhaps just say that they'd successfully unlocked it the night before and if you guys want, could even say that Simon and maybe another character did dive in a little.
What do you guys think? Jump to next morning? If so, should we say that they have a destination in mind or just that they're putting distance between themselves and Niska until they figure where they need to head?

Well, I did mention to Kevin a while ago that Sally is from Shadow. I don't know if he remembers, so they would remember each other from that but probably haven't seen each other since the war started. I wouldn't object for Wendy to be the connection or perhaps Kaylee since Sally and Madison run a parts store.
Wendy is very welcome aboard Shadowheart and I'm sure that Jester won't mind another lady around him.
EDIT
A Time jump is fine with me, but Jester and I need to make at least a few more posts to end off the convo at the parts shop. Once he feels better <3

That's right! Well, either way works. Wendy's really been space trotting due to her assignments so she's met lots of people, worked with lots of people, etc. If she's the connection, then Mal and Sally would have something that might bond them or make it easier to decide to trust each other. If Mal and Sally are the connection, that works, too!
What we'd need to figure is why someone aboard Serenity, be it Wendy or Mal or Kaylee, would call upon Sally or Madison and her crew? Some kind of connection that's important, either a favor owed or Madison, Sally, or Jeb have a special skill or connection to get them into a place or get them something they need.

As I mentioned in the cbox or group FB chat, we don't have to time jump Madison and crew same time as Serenity crew. They're so far apart and their stories are so separate right now, so we can keep playing them separately until they actually make a connection.

I'd be all for a time jump aboard serenity. My vote would be for mal being the connection only because he always had someone in his back pocket for random hijinks on the show. As far as why, well that's the question. But sleep is important and then Wendy's health would be a priority since there is no plan in place to deal with niska yet. I think that fight is going to be reactionary until Wendy's on the mend. Who knows, maybe river and her could figure something stuff out that might put them a step ahead for once lol

Could there possibly be another training/research facility out there? Maybe the Alliance figured the existing one was compromised with River's escape and decided to set up shop somewhere else, somewhere further away from the core planets.

Firstly, I'm going to go ahead and do a time jump to next day for all the Serenity ship location threads. Any preference on time of day? Maybe noonish so we can have them well rested and already into going over the data on the tablet. A possible meal break looming ahead to have any needed plot move along? I'm totally fine with Mal being the connection to Mads and crew! Will his connection be to Madison from some working together in the past or to Sally from back in his Shadow days? That's totally up to you guys! And lastly, Niska is totally something we can deal with more majorly at another time. He's that arch nemesis that's always looming and showing up here and there. No rush to the big showdown! I like Kristi's idea of another training/research facility. I'm sure they probably have several all over the verse. One further from core planets is a great idea. Might not have the resources and security the others do. Much easier to crime them. So I only have one question left. Are you ready to be bad guys?

Time jump for Serenity crew all done! I'm now going to go through the Whose Turn and remove all Serenity crew related requests.

Okay, I thought of something as I was driving home tonight. Maybe info on the tablet can lead them to a doctor that was working on Wendy? One who soured on the procedures and "retired" (maybe voluntarily, maybe not) to a remote post?

Post by Medieval Kevin on Dec 16, 2017 18:22:08 GMT -8
I love that idea! a person will be much easier to get to than into an installation, but maybe we can combine the ideas. Maybe its from him that they learn of another facility they can get into and find what they need to help wendy once and for all? could be the security on said facility is its secrecy instead of lots of armed guards? of which they can have a few of course. something for jayne to do lmao

I also really love that idea! Totally a faster way to take care of a very time sensitive problem and gets so much potential time waste of research out of the way!
The retired doc could have the knowledge but not the resources so that could bring in the need for heist, which could tie in Madison and her crew? Remote sounds good. Low security, mostly storage facility, so that it's doable for a small crew or two.

I'm down for that too! Also something to do for Jayne is good XD I sometimes feel that he is a little useless lmao.

I wanted to do a Wendy post but need to know who all would be there going over the contents of the tablet. Was thinking of posting it in the Infirmary and Common Area.
Definitely Wendy and Simon as they'd all discussed the day before but since it's almost mid-day, has anyone else joined?
Where is everyone starting off after this time jump? I just did an Inara post and have her in her shuttle, noting she's been there all day accept for a very early morning quick trip to get breakfast and tea.

I don't think mal would be there for the cracking. He would be interested and all but since its just a datapad and would contain documents he would kind of be expecting the cliff notes during the debriefing when they were done.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Dec 17, 2017 22:00:57 GMT -8
Okay, good. I'm thinking there's a chance Jayne might be there since the Cap initially had asked him to work on the tablet. So... that means Mal's available to, I don't know, maybe go by Inara's shuttle?

Jayne can be there to go on Wendy's nerves lmao River could either be there too with Simon or wandering around somewhere else

I was talking with Jester, I had an idea for our crew while we wait for Shadowheart and Serenity to meet up later.
Sally gets into trouble often, joining bar fights after one too many drinks- mostly over Alliance sympathizers. I was thinking, during one of these fights Sally's leg gets wounded. For those who don't know- Sally has a bad leg, an old injury from the war. Right now she is arguing with Madison and Jeb about getting it looked at, as it's been giving her trouble again. Anyways, the new wound on top of the old wound will be nothing serious, until the wound starts getting infected. They won't know about it until Sally gets sick and Madison and Jeb make the call get her legs properly taken care of.

Yup, I left Inara open to interaction with anyone. River can also wander into the bridge or wherever! It’s up to you!

Regarding the River/Simon/Inara scene, I feel like we might be at a good breaking point for an exit or for someone to interrupt. If you guys want to keep carrying on a convo, that's perfectly fine, too! I'll have Inara put on some tea in that case but I think I'll wait for Simon to have a turn. Let me know what you guys think!

I'd be totally fine for doing a breaking point at that scene! Had nothing special in mind anyway.

Post by Kristi Lynne on Feb 11, 2018 0:47:14 GMT -8
That's fine with me, too. Simon really didn't have anything else important to say, so we can mosey along elsewhere.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Feb 11, 2018 10:48:59 GMT -8
Personally, I think the Captain should interrupt! Inara was distracted by River's sudden barging in so she didn't cover her comm which is on and obviously she was looking through her contacts to see if there's a way she could help, an idea that Mal had shot down. Malnara arguments are so fun!

Hey guys!
I feel somehow bad about bringing that up, but I'm thinking about dropping out of the Firefly RPG, actually for already a while.
That's because of several reasons. With my choice of characters there it might be fun at times, but I feel like I've no real purpose in the plot. I even had some problems writing my last posts in this because of that I think. Also, with upcoming new RPG titles, I really feel like I've to sort out a little and came to the realization that this is the one I started to feel less motivated for recently.
I feel really sorry for upsetting you guys with this decision and hope to not be the reason for a deactivation of this title. I would feel really bad in that case.
