And the way Bran's doing this now is adequate?

Yes. It'll be hard to RP that real time. The gunners need to look for your posts. Best way to handle it is for them to see your posts and then post their actions without either side worrying about a IC conversation containing lots of dialog between. You also have some ground forces (Thriller Group) protecting some guns. You can give them a heads-up if enemy are approaching. It's a busy position to man as a player. You got it covered if you stay focused on it.

Well there's literally nothing else for me to do, so I'll at least do this to the best of my abilities.

I'm asssuming there'll be a reward for the defenders after it's all over . . . Or that at least Bran will be thanked for doing something.

Bran, mind you that the ships have not pulled into a practical range to shoot at - they're just passing the moon.

That she did. *nods*

Anyway... except for Swith (she's stuck at the rear, in a sense) my characters don't have much to do. I'm guessing the guns and Thriller will get their asses handed to them first, and then they'll move on to you and me.

FYI as a bit of a warning, you guys ever played the Force Unleashed or the old 2003 Clone Wars cartoon show where force sensitives kick ass DBZ style? Yeah, Nox is on that scale.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

You guys have communication between. We won't be able to RP every part of dialog out. We can fudge that some because of the scale of the battle.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

Oh for the love of god . . . Just don't, Dani said that anyone looking to the sky could see them, so I assumed that Bran could point a laser at them for the cannons. Don't ruin the only thing I'm doing for this.

People who missed this...................
Equipment Breakdown:

COMMS
Each unit carries a portable communication device based on Nifid and Chaos tech. It doesn't utilize radio waves so comm lines can't be cut between HQ and the field. You also don't need to have line-of-sight or repeaters to use them. They consist of an earbud and a collar. The collar picks up your vocalizations and transmits even if you have to whisper.

HQ COMMS
The security system is invasive in the city. Prim has access to multiple triangles of light. These show him anything he needs in order to direct troops.

WEAPONS
You can use your own nation's weapons or you can ask for ammunition from Chaos.

ARMOR
Some units have treated armor (GT and Swith's units). Prevents Drone corruption.

Don't bother trying to steal any loaned equipment to advance your nation. Nobody knows how the "machines" are fed and they'll wither and die after a while. Ceril hasn't been able to figure it out.

I was talking about the data. the Ion cannon is basically aimed through a computer, and it needs the target to aim. and just shooting randomly is likely too miss...

Bran, I was calmly answering your question. I don't know why you always assume I'm out to get you. I thought we went over this? Every time this turns into a fight because you get waaaay too defensive. Please, calm the fuck down and stop assuming I'm out to get you. It's annoying as hell.

The only thing you're at fault for is assuming I'm angry at you. I wasn't. Please, for the love of god, stop acting like I'm attacking you.

I'm just annoyed that I've basically got the "We didn't have anything for you, so you get this" job and there's no-one to interact with like everyone else gets to. I'll be sitting on the roof all night and have nothing to do.

At least you've got someone to interact with, I've got no-one because apparently my characters are put somewhere and then forgotten about until it's all over.

Well, if you still have people in Chaos, you could interact with Aleki.. Then again, I have Lucius roaming around the city. Possibly he would be stopping by. Hate to ask but where are your characters? (I've been busy so I haven't had time to read much IC).
