Oh yeah, now I remember. Didn't some asshat try and channel a bit of Keith Moon and load that thing with a couple of tracer rounds without the band knowing it? As i recall the show was pretty spectacular for a split second. I think that was the same tour with that other band that was fond of re-purposed weapons....can't remember the name of them, I think they were the ones that were a failed pirate group...
I've also been tuned in to a bit of Capellan-style indie rock. It's pretty simplistic and grating but it's tons of fun as well.

And yes, the Lyrans doing things wrong... really do we expect anything else at this point? Luckily as I understand it the Magistry of Canopus has been trying their own version, but simpler. And their version is also reported to stimulate theta waves in human brains...you know the one connected to pleasure centers. Word is that it's a big hit in some of the bigger bordellos but so far hasn't reached mass airplay.

Well that's positive enough, but I know it can be harder than it seems sometimes. Was she adopted or a purebred?

Oh lovely, Pennsylvania is a quagmire of odd regulations. I've heard plenty of stories about the liquor store laws for one...

Mighty Islands?
Zenjiled/Morning Glory?

Combat Test Lances:
Lance 1 (Recon/Skirmish) Julius Warren (Strykla), Artemis Storm (Dominus), Walther Alschittle (Deutschland),
Lance 2 (Main Battle Line) Katherine Fuego (Junii), John Perry (Camicon), Septimus Wilmot (Islands), Francisca Ostermann (Glory)
Lance 3 (Support) James Callahan (Hardened Pyros), Alex Arcuno (Sciosia), Jasmine Mandela (Ularn)

Italic is the lance leader.

Lol how do we still have exactly one empty lance spot? I'll toss an NPC into Lance 3 and maybe Bear will fill a spot in Lance 1. These are not the final lances yet, they'll be broken up into mixed lances once the company is finalized; I'm messaging Islands and Glory as I type this to see if they are still on board and will let them know of the progress we made. If they don't join I'll make last second changes.

Also want to say: Thank you all for your patience, though it is moving slow it is one of the most fun RPs I've had here and honestly most successful one i have OP'd. I am struggling to get my home net back asap and I promise you guys that I once I do will be on the ball to keep it moving at a good clip and have plans for a long and exciting RP involving the Jihad. A special thanks to HP, Junii, and Strykla for being here from the beginning and never giving up.

James with Jaz as Lance Leader?

You want me to have her step on that car, don't you? :P

Hoping these aren't the finalized Lances, since I kinda want James to be with Artemus, Walther, and Kat.

Aw, you're gonna make the Ularny one cry. Go apologize, now.

Besides these are training lances. Put up with it for now, or surrender lance leadership :P

They aren't, since most of the 'mechs fall into the heavy category the final lances will be mixed (One support, one scout, one brawler, one other)

Its actually entirely possible that lances will be organized differently for each mission depending on the abilities of the 'mechs and pilots in relation to the needs of a mission.

So now that we have had our mandatory 300 and Boondock Saints references.

Time skip?

I vote YES so we have a time skip. The Cicada test has been completed, you all passed congratulations! Those who failed either the heat or Cicada test are told to pack their shit and go home while the rest of you all are given some leave to do whatever and told to report back at the briefing room where we originally met by 5:00 pm. That means HP can get a shower, Dom can get his helmet back, and everyone else can do whatever. Feel free to post what you did before going to the Conference room but also please notate that you do it during the free period of time you have.

Also anyone who wants to use a GSS 'mech during the test please say so there is a Trebuchet, a Whitworth, an Enforcer, and a Panther (standard configs all) available. Northern Dominus will be using a Uziel for the test and Ularn is using a Trebuchet.

Depends on what you call lowballed. Salary for an enlisted mechwarrior in GSS is 2400 a months plus private barracks quarters transportation food and mech repairs. And like any military unit promotions increase pay; you also get a 400 cbill bonus (week of pay as a probationary mechwarrior)
