I'm probably going to drop out. Just too many interruptions for me to stay focused. I'd have to read the whole thread, just to figure out what we're doing. Thanks for the opportunity, and good luck moving forward.

I'm running fumes and losing interest
Awareness
Lincoln will stay and scout the area out, while the others are gathered and rendezvoused... Just the general area, watching the coming and going and activity for anything suspicious, or to check if the site is being watched. He'll also try to determine if they are being watched of followed.
Lincoln simply shrugs... "Sure thing. I'll be glad to scout the area out in advance".
"Sounds good. I'll bring back Ice Cream". Lincoln flashes his "teenage girl heart melting smile", and departs with the others.
Hi DM... It's been two weeks since you've posted. Is this game still on? If not please let us know.
"Stick around and you'll get a chance to find out. It's a delicious frozen treat invented by humans".
Lincoln opens the door between the two rooms, and invites the others into the "paid for" room. "Well I gotta a promise to keep. You guys keep an eye on the kid, while I go scout out some ice cream. Strawberry good for everybody"?
Lincoln looks at the child, a look of puzzlement on his face, as if he didn't expect the child to ask such an adult question. "Your father is dea... definitely on our list for finding... In fact he's very high, quite possibly at the top of our list for finding... and... Would you like some Ice cream?".
"Let me see if my friends are over here, and then we'll send someone for Ice Cream... What kind do you like"?
Lincoln will rent a suite... if possible adjoining the other and keep the girl safe there... after all he has a reputation to uphold, and somebody might need to post bail.
"All of you have your own particular odor if you ask me. Does anyone know anything about this place? I believe we find an affordable, but discrete hostel, get a couple of rooms, and wait to hear back from the girl's mother. The police will probably only complicate things, and somehow we'll end up in jail". We need to check on procuring passage to Port Royal, and determine how we're going to pay for it... hopefully the girls mother wants her back bad enough to help out. We should probably keep a close watch out as well, and try to be stealthy as we don't know if the man we thwarted worked alone or not, and it's obvious that this is a pretty important thing to someone".
"Well this seems important. I think we should keep the girl safe somewhere, until we can contact her mother. We need more information in order to make a decision".
Lincoln also knows better but decides that seeing the body found in the restrooms might be interesting, and heads that way... after over-tipping the bartender. Never hurts to make a friend in a new place.
Lincoln slowly eases away from the group, and tries to find somewhere nearby to "keep an eye" on the situation... preferably somewhere that serves alcohol.
Lincoln gives his most charming smile and speaks to the young girl. "So your mother just dropped you off here to find your father? Where is she now, and why didn't she stay with you until your father had you safe and sound"?
"Oh Dear! I hope this situation doesn't turn unpleasant. I believe we can sort this all out, with a simple identification check. If everything matches up we'll be good to go. If not... well then we might have a problem".
Lincoln emerges from the shuttle fashionably late and sees the people he has met either abducting, or helping a little girl, and decides to get involved. After getting the scoop... "Ah! I see little girl. Why were you and he here, and where and when did you last see him? Never fear for is here to save the day".
Lincoln takes an extra 20 minutes after arrival to make sure every hair is in place, and that his outfit is without a wrinkle. Never know who you'll run into, and those tabloids are ruthless with any fashion faux-pas. He then emerges into the Lighthouse pausing at the ramp a bit and looking both ways his ever bright smile gleaming, as he takes measure of the place... and if anyone recognizes him.
Perked and flawed
I'll try my best to have time to look at the book for options for this tonight. I'm heading to PR on a business trip Monday, so if I don't get it done tonight... I'll just go with Lincoln as is.
I think what I mostly need now is starting equipment, but that depends on the campaign framework.
I think we should re-assess if this game is a go or not. The posting has dried up to a trickle, and in my experience that's the first sign of impending doom.
Lincoln listens nonchalantly to the exchange. Normally all this tech-rubbish bored him to tears. He could push buttons, and open menu's, but if it required anything beyond usage... well... that was for others to explore. He does liven up a bit at the captain proclaiming that the drinks were on him. "Well tally-ho then. Let's get this show on the road".
"Well I've been known as a fantastic shot, but am certainly willing to share the limelight with others". Lincoln takes up position in the middle of the group, his eyes peeled for danger. Notice
But finds a reflective surface, and can't seem to take his eyes off the dashing figure staring back at him.
"Be there in a Jiffy". Lincoln quickly goes to his room, picks up one of his trademark top hats, and rushes to join the others.
I'll update this evening (US Eastern time). I'm travelling with a supervisor this week, so posting might be spotty. Please feel free to BOT my character if necessary to move the plot along.
Are we still rolling with this game???
Lincoln decides that he needs to take out the remaining Longbow, and tries to focus his Heavy laser turret thorough the carnage of the battle. Shooting
But finds the smoke and explosions keep him from drawing an effective bead on his opponents.
Seeing that positioning the ship might be more critical than trying to shoot things at the moment, Lincoln jacks in, and turns to Rio. "Lot's of things going on there Cap. Let me see if I can help you smooth things out a bit". Piloting
As Lincoln's hands reach for the controls, he realizes that he better not touch anything.
Lincoln decides to switch back to the more fun heavy lasers when he sees the heavy cannons weren't as effective. Targeting the less damaged Longbow. "Whoopy Ki yi ay". Shooting Total of 14 to hit
Damage
Let me switch over to the Auto-Cannons and see if I can create a little confusion. They are already on the ground, so not as much fun. Lincoln will shoot one autocannon shot at each of three targets in range. Shooting #1 Miss
Shooting #2 Hit
Shooting #3 Total of 11, Hit with raise
Shooting
Damage Total damage of 53!
"Sure... why not... it shall only add to my legend
"Now you're talking. Extra share if I take the shields down first try"? shooting
Since he was assigned no role for the upcoming battle, Lincoln settles into the co-pilots chair, and jacks in. "Let me know where you need backup". he quips with a smile and a wink.
Lincoln is busy in the ship hold, sketching and measuring the compartment, figuring out ways to perhaps add hidden compartments, and storage area's when he gets the hailing. Oh well then... another time. He then hustles to the bridge to hear the others conferring. "I guess we should share our logs. We should really look into either buying or developing another less... revealing set of logs for situations like this. I'll add it to my list. "We weren't going to be able to do this on our own anyway, so we might as well tie ourselves to the big dogs. Maybe we're small enough, that we can sneak in and steal a prime apple or two, before the buffet begins. Let's play along for now".
Why don't we go ahead and start. Maybe if we have a late entrant or two, we can work them into the plot.
Icarus, Phoenix, Shadowbane, Eclipse...
bot dotted
No Problem. Thanks, and looking forward to this. I'll provide some more input as the relaxing weekend begins.
Dotting. Lincoln likes to be referred to as a privateer :-). My character has to date not stayed in any one place for too long. He's either got bored and moved on, or had to leave under dire circumstances. He feels he's finally found a home with this motley crew. Never boring, and at least it's some familiar faces to run away with. DM: Any chance you could go ahead and start the game thread. If I post a dot there it shows up on my campaigns page, and I don't have to go looking for it in the recruiting thread to see if there are any updates.
Lincoln Kennedy reporting for duty...I know...I know... you're already glad I'm finally here. |
