just to not get too complicated i was thinking they attached something to the console that was software based, locking him out. long story short he is going for a ride, they'll have to pick him up afterwards. But he would tell you to help serenity anyway. he'd be more concerned about river and simon and he'd tell you they were in danger. but if you guys maybe time jumped after cav put in the call it would all fall into place i think. whatcha think?
by the time cobblestone road hit atmo, you'd be getting his distress call and he could give you the coordinates for serenity

I'm guessing we're having him out of the way to be picked up later because he doesn't have a player? Since it's Alliance software, Wendy would know how to override it and either shut it down or change the coordinates. No idea if the Hands of Blue were sending him somewhere specific to collect him later or just straight into a hillside. Maybe it's something she can do straight from her vidscreen thingee. Just hack into the software? Wendy and Cav can go straight to helping the rest of the Serenity crew.

hmmm all of the above? lol yeah kinda cause he didn't have a player but more just to make him a nuisance for the rest of the crew. the blue man group wanted him to be some place far away so they'd have to spend the time going to get their pilot before thinking of any kind of pursuit once they had made their getaway with river. so to them wash is more useful alive and well removed. they aren't sending him into a mountainside hehe
but if you want to override the console remotely i wouldn't argue :-) its up to you. does everything else seem okay time wise though? just so we can say we got it all figured out :-)

I think so! We'll just have to wait until Cav's on again to get confirmation. Until then, I'm holding off on a Wendy reply.

Cav gets to play cavalry. Works for me. It would finish paying back what he owes the crew for helping out when his engine blew. Yes, I'm running with the premise that they know him well enough not to shoot him. lol

There's always a way to get everybody in on the plotses! Let me read over his bio again. It's been forever!
Do you have some ideas? Is he in any certain place currently? I can't remember if you've ever even posted for him.

Okay, read it over. I remember that he was a gambler so it would have been perfect for him to somehow connect with Wendy at Gambler's Run. She and Cav are en route to New Melbourne now though to find Serenity. They're gonna help them with the Hands of Blue and eventually there's going to be something with Niska. Anybody have ideas? Cav and Wendy are already gone from Gambler's Run so unless he stowed away onboard Cobblestone, he'll not have connected with Cav and Wendy at that point so if he wants to be involved with what's going on, he's gotta be on New Melbourne. So then we need to figure out why he ends up getting involved. Is he already acquainted with one of the characters? Does he take odd jobs? From his profile, it looks like gambling is his livelihood. Did he perhaps get on the bad side of Niska and when we get to that point, he's released by the group? Of course, that would suck. We know Niska doesn't mess around. Ideas, everyone? Let's start tossing some around.

Yes he is a Gambler because of the ease in which he can make money to live off with it. He is also a ex alliance and ex operative basically being a gun for them and thats what he got sick off. Didnt like the blood on his hands so he left/

Stowing away is possible but unlikely, since he'd need to jack the door code and he didn't have a lot of time. He'd also need to do a little fast talking to avoid being spaced.
Is there a possibility that somebody booted him out an airlock? We could pull a Hitchhiker's Guide and pick him up just before his air runs out.
Or he could be on New Melbourne and have some critical piece of info that somebody needs.

Cav, saw your mention of Serenity answering Cav's wave. Didn't we all say that they end up not answering, seeing as how Serenity is ahead and Cav and Wendy are playing catch-up? I think we said that they were distracted with the whole Early thing, getting to the meet-up with Monty, etc.

i just looked back at my initial post after cav walked in and I did have them fire a shot. I wrote that at like 2am and didn't do a good job. that was not meant to be the firefight starting up again. it was just supposed to be a shot to keep his head down. i deleted that part of my post feel free to back off on the fighting to finish any dialogue. the hands of blue would be interested to know what cav is all about before killing everyone in the room. the sonic device could be their next move if it comes to that CavanaughStorytellerHollywood Heidi

I replied to the PM between the four of us involved in the scene. I think I may have been envisioning the scene wrong. But as far as Wendy, she and the Serenity crew are kinda back-logging what's going on while Cav is talking so I think we'll need a few back-and-forth before we catch up to Cav. We can probably weave in some of Cav's lines that they're hearing to imply where in the timeline they are up until Cav demands seeing ID from either party. I believe Zoe is going to be replying to Wendy's first question.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jun 10, 2014 19:19:09 GMT -8
Probably no need for him to stall anymore! The rest of us stashed behind the crates need to catch up to where Cav is and hopefully when we catch up to where he is, it'll be time for Wendy and/or some of the others to face the HoB alongside Cav.
Waiting for the Zoe post. Amelia/Kevin, maybe we can work Cav's dialogue into our posts as what their overhearing while we post what's been going on behind the Cav/HoB scenes.

Cavanaugh I think you maybe based your post off the last post of page 1? There are three or four posts on page 2 of the Cargo Bay. The last HoB was knocked out.

Cav brought up something I didn't think about... is there crew aboard the HoB's ship? Based off the pics Kevin found, it looks small enough to be manned by two people. I could totally be wrong though because I really have no ship-smarts.
I always assumed the two traveled alone without crew or back-up. They seem to give off this God-complex vibe.
Also, does the ship Kevin posted look like it's possibly a shuttle off a larger ship that's in orbit or do you think it can travel planet to planet? Trying to figure if the Big Damn Heroes need to worry about crew aboard the ship with a missile trained on them or a bigger Alliance ship in orbit.
I think it's time again to rewatch the entire series (gee darn) because I'm a bit fuzzy on the HoB details.

I'm 95% sure they travel alone but our Firefly Encyclopedia can probably answer us for sure . At any rate, from a gaming standpoint I think we've had enough action for now!

There weren't a whole lot of details about them in the series. Most canon information comes from the comic...

They aren't alliance themselves so I think it's a safe bet that there is no parent ship. At this point from what I've seen, those two men got the job because they are truly sadistic and willing to do anything to finish their missions. And they are confident in their equipment. So not to tip off the characters or anything but Wendy would know to take extra care with their prisoner since he would have means to free himself.

Hey guys! Would someone of you so nice to sum up the important happenings on the firefly rpg? As it's already marathon weekend plus there are a lot of threads in here, I don't have the time to read all of them. In addition, do I have something to know about Jayne and River as for posts from former people?

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Oct 18, 2014 0:02:20 GMT -8
I don't think there's anything much that we've done with Jayne or River. Since we haven't really had players for the (at least not for long and not for a long time)we've been using them sparingly. Currently, River and Simon are hiding on the ship. The ship is docked on New Melbourne and the crew, along with the help of Cavanaugh and Wendy, just defeated the two Hands of Blue that had gotten on board while the crew was off ship. Simon and River remained on board and hid when they realized there were intruders. Since one was killed and the other knocked out, Simon and River can make an appearance if you'd like but not sure if they still want to remain unseen since they still have that one Hands of Blue guy on board. Up to you! I'd suggest reading the few last posts in the Cargo Bay. Mal had given Jayne the order to take care of the remaining HoB, but I'm not 100% sure if that means to tie him up, lock him up, or to kill him dead and dump him. I'm sure he means to keep the guy locked up. Wendy definitely wants to question him and I'm sure Mal and the crew may want to do the same. Mal, Zoe, Kaylee, Wendy, and Cav all headed to the HoB's ship to try and deactivate the missile aimed at Serenity the HoB activated. Inara and Kaylee are kind of out of it. While they were in a shop in the marketplace, they were attacked. Inara was injected with a sedative and carried off and Kaylee was knocked out. Monty happened down the alleyway where the baddie had Inara over his shoulder and took care of the baddie. He got Inara and Kaylee back to the ship where they were ambushed by the HoB. Omg you guys, I think we forgot in our last few Cargo Bay posts that Monty was on board! So Kaylee, despite being loopy from a minor concussion, is with the group at the HoB ship trying to help. Inara has just started to stir. Mal asked Book to take her to her shuttle and keep her safe. I can't remember where Wash is. Help me out on that one, guys. Did we say that he stayed on board and the HoB knocked him out? I don't remember him being in the Cargo Bay? So the reason Wendy is there is because she's looking for Simon. She's like River but has learned how to handle their gifts. Problem is, she's dependent on meds created by Blue Sun and the HoB guys after a botched last procedure. You can read more about that in Wendy's profile. She's always wanted out of their control but if she wants the meds, she has to keep working for them. Things went badly when she bumped into someone from her past and it forced her to go on the run. She's running out of meds and has been trying to track down Simon. She thinks he's her last hope. Since he's a brilliant doctor and has been studying what they did to his sister, maybe he can fix what they did wrong with her or he can figure how to reproduce the meds she needs. Cav is there because Wendy called in a favor. He helped her to track down Serenity and he and the crew know each other from a past job. That kind of flowed over from a previous Firefly RPG and I don't think we set an exact story for the details of the job for this current RPG. Too much happened in the old RPG to try and summarize it here and since there's only two of us here from the old RPG, it wouldn't be fair of us to ask everyone else to check out those thousands of posts. Plus this RPG is taking place between the show and movie whereas the previous one took place after the movie. I think that's all for now. Everyone, please feel free to jump in with more details. It's late and it's been a crazy work week so my brain is shutting down.

Oh dear, thanks so much for the detailed summary!! That helped me a lot! I already read over the original character's bios to find out who they are and how they are connected to the crew, so I read about Wendy's problem. Oh, and you play into my hands with that Jayne scene for me to start. Taking care of the remaining HoB... well, actually sounds like wide scope for Jayne... Ok, so Jayne would return to the Serenity for that, right? And who else is on board the ship for now? Simon and River are, and Kaylee and Inara too, or did I get that wrong? And Wash? Laying at the ground somewhere?
