Heresy!!!

It should be noted that the possible existence of the C'tan Void Dragon on Mars is a closely guarded secret, and it is likely no-one on the ship would be aware of it. The link between the Machine-God and the xenos-deity is patchy.

I have added an NPC index, in which I will add the NPCs who receive enough mention to warrant it. Use this for some basic information on the people you encounter. I'm not posting stats, as it's not necessary for you to know those.

How's that for blowing the GM's story... we can nuke it before the main guy even shows up. :)
Back in college, I once so utterly out-clevered the GM (playing Vampire:the Masquerade), that on our second game session, fifteen minutes in, she simply ended the campaign as my plotting had completely tanked her story line and took out (either caused death of or completely subverted) several major NPCs.

:D One of my more shining moments.

That's hilarious.

Who would design an entire campaign that hinged on someone/something so strongly that it could be rendered useless in a session? The art of the GM is improvisation :)

Yeah, really. If you're going to have a single 'big bad' in the game, don't actually reveal her for several sessions. Just drop hints.

Much more fun that way, too.

I haven't been able to update the game for a couple of days because I'm getting some serious work done on the thesis before the week ends. I will update tomorrow night, no matter what (and in VoB).

In order to speed things along, could anyone who nees to please post by then. I may have to just jump things to the RT meeting everyone, though I would prefer you guys to handle that.

Nice. I've been holding off posting because Andrea would be doing nothing at all, except standing there smiling while you finish walking.

No problem really. We're only waiting on Dorian, and then I can get things moving along. I won't be able to post until tomorrow night myself. No pressure.

I didn't see anything in particular about this posted so far, but... is there a conference room somewhere on this ship? One appointed for VIPs and senior crew?

The bridge would be fine. If not, the senior staff's dining hall, the librarium, or the captain's quarters would all suffice. The dining hall probably makes the most sense, as there are enough seats for everyone.

Yeah, she's in formal attaire now, so I figured a more formal avatar would be good.

I'm just not finding that much out there with cyber eyes / ears on it, though. It's almost enough to inspire me to go dink with photoshop. But not quite.
