I think I only mentioned to this to Stone but, about half a year ago, there was a short story contest between the university contests here. The word limit was low, so I reworked Konrad Ingmann's first post into a story set in a generic early 19thC European setting and entered it. I didn't attend the...

Leave it for 2-3 days. I won't post anymore unless noone does for more than 3 days. At this point Zarkov or Garrius should probably say something. Of course, Praetus is in serious need of saying something or at least reacting to the serious allegations implicating him (though he wasn't named), but L...

[ By this stage, Salt would be suffering one level of fatigue. Days of going without any longer than two hours sleep at a time will be taking their toll. This only translates into a -10 penalty to any tests you need to make, at this stage ] The dull humm of the ship's engines punctuate the awkward s...

I agree. And the hazmat suit has the added benefit of you avoiding being covered in scheisse . I'll look into funding this asap. It's been too long since there was porn which really dealt with the broader issues. And, yeah . . . back to the game. I am ready as ever. Not sure if I'll create a Soviet ...

I've no idea what you'd look like in a wig, but perhaps you could be a kind of allegorical representation of a cup. That might work. Some sort of art-porn commentary on empty vessels and all that.

Oh, she was talent scouting for the German remake: Zwei Mädchen, eine Schale.

Lore's without power because of the floods and won't be able to post for a while, so you may as well if you have something ready.

Menz draws breath through his nostrils, slowly. Narrow-eyed, and patient. 'Good. I don't like excuses. Explanations, however, are what we are after. Please, Seneschal, keep us informed of your investigations as much as discretion allows. 'This regrettable theft will delay the endeavour, which is a c...

Peraton glares at Andrea, before turning sharply to Salt and pointing to a chair. 'Be seated, Sub-lieutenant. You may attend to your duties once our honoured associates are done with their meeting'. Menz does not wait for Salt to decide on her course of action. 'Seneschal-Majoris,' he addresses Andr...

'SIT DOWN!' Salt is stopped abruptly. Turning to see from whom the outburst came, she sees that Captain Trulitch - whom she fought alongside with briefly in the cargo hold - stares at her with stern fury. 'Do you dare insult the Consortium by marching out of here without so much as a "by your ...

Voting is now closed. The top three voted entries were: 1st place: The Gunner-Boy, by Andrea 2nd place: Old Attilus, by Zarkov 3rd place: The Horlae, by Zarkov All three stories are now officially part of the ship's folk-lore. Perhaps some may hold some truth to them. Experience awards will be added...

60th Day Since Embarkation, Grand Dining Hall [ The Invictus rests in high orbit around the pock-marked wasteland of the Kellion mining colony. While the transports of the Deltael family have been unloading their cargoes, the ratings and enginseers have been busily making repairs to the ancient fri...

On reflection, I think Andrea's Dynastic story would be best in the regular archives. Considering the material that Zarkov has been posting there, I feel it's appropriate. So, if you want to repost that tale there that would be good.

[ So, without going back and reading all the old threads... and glancing at the Koronos Sector map, it looks like the Winterscale Realms is a region of space, with several inhabited worlds, close to Footfall. Is Prethian our final destination? If so, I was confused. I'd meant to be talking about wh...

[Re: the state of rations. Prethian is a minimum of three months journey away, but will more likely take four to five. One months rations can be stretched, but not that far]

Just so everybody knows - Garrius has been unable to post lately, so I've held back from moving things along. I will tomorrow night sometime, though. I will set up a meeting called by the Alid-Yuril, at which all PCs and major NPCs will be present. People can still post regarding their earlier encou...

"But, he done tole me to do what you say. So... you know... I figured I'd do that for a little while. Until he changes his mind, see." Peraton listens in cold silence. Quiet descends upon the control tower, except for the ministrations of the tech priest. Once Salt has finished, her super...

The Chapel "Can we make them understand what their neighbors and family died to create? Is it worth even trying? Or do we just bribe them with petty pleasures. They died so that we could earn some coin, which means that those who live might be able to eat better next year. Or so that perhaps w...

OOC--sorry i've been away so long..... I will embark upon a course to give the armsmen more than mere brawling skills should they end up hand-to-hand. Also, when I can, talk to Salt and her Darksiders, I see potential as a sort of SWAT team for them. [ The delay was fine - you only missed the battl...

Managed to make numerous updates to the NPC list. However, these updates were mostly rudimentary. When I can find more time I would like to reorganise the whole list and possibly add some more general crew details. I'd very much appreciate a short write-up (no more than a hundred words) on the Darks...
