Re: Turn 1: Freezing Floors
As Morse drank less the cryosickness got better. As much as cryo was slowing down his aging, the missions were making up for the lost time. The trade off was leaving his body as a mess, and it was doing things to his mind that were going a bit beyond the normal wear and tear. Morse at home people we...

Re: Turn 20: Rewards
The return to Gateway was feeling more and more routine each time, and the general excitement of finally being so close to Earth was fading. Morse had been going out into the black and back for over a decade, much of it being spent in Cryo. People he knew were aging faster then he was, but his body ...

Re: Character skills
Absolutely agree with the majority on the cortex system, especially Taimdala's point of I would even pass up Firefly if we were using that system. (Some of us were on a Firefly Forum prior to playing here, so that says a lot for us.) I also agree with the roleplay side is my preferred element. I did...

Re: Turn 19: The Last Stand
Dmitri had been instrumental in the saving of Morse's life. Morse was well aware of that. The small creature had left him feeling closer to dying then being shot. The raw fear of what that thing could do to him left a carnal horror in him that he might be dealing with for a long time. The way it bur...

Re: Character skills
No argument with the PDF graveyard. I'm pretty sure I have 3 old sheets for the same character in there. Copying and pasting an image in a forum is easy enough, and would probably keep us better organized. For the skill system, I guess I don't know. Obviously we all use gun combat on a regular basis...

Re: Turn 18: Facehuggers
Someone was coming to help Morse, he was thankful for that. But the carnal nature of being attacked in the way he was left one in a sort of violent trance. All he could focus on one was the creature attempting to attach itself to him. It was far stronger then he had imagined they'd be. He'd only eve...

Re: Turn 18: Facehuggers
Being right on the goal line made the tension high. Very high. These were critical moments that any of the marines that had been in the unit for more then a few missions would know full well how dangerous they could be. People got sloppy, people got overly excited, people dropped their guard. There ...

Re: Turn 17: The Hangar
The hanger was so large that the idea of calling it secure would be a lie, and everyone knew it. It was the largest structure he'd ever seen floating in space that was actually intended to be manned. Of course everyone had seen massive haulers pulling containers of ore and food stuffs from Gateway.....

Re: Turn 16: Tight Spaces
Morse groaned along with everyone else when the elevator was stuck. This was what happened when you fought in space. Machinery broke, air gave out, gravity fluctuated, and people got sucked out into emptiness. Only a few of those things had happened so far, but of course there was always time for th...

Re: Turn 15: Lifepods
While not being in the best shape, they had certainly been in much worse. The imminent feeling of impending doom was starting to lighten up without the blaring of alarms and the civilians getting to lifeboats. That made things easier, as watching civilians die was not good for anyone, and that tende...

Re: Turn 14: Hull Breach Imminent
Morse sped forward in the direction of the fleeing marines and civilians. He did not have the best idea of where they were going, but anything was going to better then where they were coming from. He looked ahead to find Sam turned around and giving the situation of their withdrawal. She was plannin...

Re: Turn 14: Hull Breach Imminent
The grenades seemed to do the trick. Was firing active frag grenades within a space station, particularly one as high tech and sensitive as the one that they were on, a good idea? Perhaps not. But Morse had been in firefights in space before, and he knew that they could usually handle it. They were ...

Re: Turn 13: Something Wicked This Way Comes
The firefight was a bit more then they were able to handle. That was troublesome to Morse. While he was used to being somewhat outmatched by Xenomorphs of many varieties, he was not so accustomed to being pushed back by enemy forces that were humans anymore. And though his opinions had adjusted slig...

Re: Turn 12: One Last Push
"What the fuck!' Morse yelled as the shooting started again. Up until a few seconds prior he was under the impression that they had their area mostly secured. It seemed that was wrong. They were presently under siege, but they would not be able to tell how many of the enemy there were. Another prob...
