I have to apologize for the length of my posts yesterday and in advance for today.

Please afford me a bit of patience as I’m trying to tie up loose ends (I believe were strangling the Yydryl’s story to death) as soon as possible.

We’ve got an opportunity here to clean things up and I’m using it and any suggestions would be really appreciated.

If it would be easier on the readers I’ll break up the posts?

Please let me know if you think this would be helpful.

Thank you!

Your post lengths are fine to me. The max post length is only 10,000 characters there anyhow, and I don't see that it would be a problem.

I don't think it's a problem. I like the longer posts.

Marshmallows huh?

Thanks guys...

And yeah, marshmallows.

I've been OD'ing on them since I got about 4lbs of them in a gift box from the States.

4lbs is a LOT of marshmallows too, lol.

hehe. No i am not.

Hey guys, I'm about to be out of the loop for about 4 days.

Neno, you've got the conn.

Take us out of Earth's orbit after we're full-up on survivors and salvaged equipment.

Good luck....

Copy that, cap. Last I heard, Badger was full into salvaging stuff, and Slayer was on the program. We must be topped off with survivirs, since salvage ops have already started. Slayer's got some repairing to do with those spare parts, before an out of system jump, but it might be prudent to limp over to mMars to check on damages there, and away from the destruction levels on Earth. I presume there is a human presence on Mars at this point.

Hmmm... I dunno, would there be a colony on Mars? With wormholes making travel very easy, would it be economically viable to maintain? Maybe at some point in history, humanity terraformed Mars and now it's as livable as Earth?

That would be kinda cool.

By the way Neno, I've got that former NI agent Thanatos/Sorokov coming onboard, should I write in a security escort or no? Not sure what you would do in a situation like this so I won't put the words in your mouth.

Silo! Excellent post!

Quite the take-charge sort of lady you've become! Embrace your inner commodore! Run with it!

"Chumley, if he tries to escape, eat him!"

Neno could use a few guards aboard Penelope with the single-mindedness and dedication of Chumley. I might have the helm lay in a course for the recruiting stations at Rigel!

Careful of the cocoons, and don't you dare disappear on us too!

Luder, please leave us your address so if you don’t return to the Opera we can hunt you down and, well, I dunno what but we’ll hunt you down!

Naw, but come back, ‘ya hear!

Best to you while you’re gone...

LOL

Naw, I've no aspirations for doing anything requiring dedication, self sacrifice or riding at the front of the foray and the back of the line until all my men are safe behind castle walls...

Nope, not me.

Just a glorified wash woman here...

Just a reminder please. I still need input as far as the bridge layout goes and number of stations. Here are the links to the various concepts.

1) Circular bridge Layout (standard number of stations)

2) Circular Bridge layout with two additional stations.

3) Oblong bridge layout (standard configuration.

4) Oblong bridge layout with additional stations.

Personally I like the oblong designs better. If nothing else, it'll make construction of the bridge design much easier.

Let me know please.

Hi Hi

My vote goes for the circular but that's just me...

If that's what everyone decides on can you stick in a couple more view screens? (I made the mistake of describing the bridge as having screens that wrap 180 degrees - but I can edit it out if others don't like the idea of course)...

Oh wait a sec! What about the whales?

I though they were able to access the bridge (from another post) - like one side of their tank was in the wall of the bridge?

???

What I can do a 180 degree view screen all right. The sections showing the main view screen are pretty much there to only show the location and not the size. I also planned on there being individual view screens at each of the station. The oblong one gives the best wall space for addition of the whale tank. That can easily be done. Just let me know left or right. From the view point of the captain that is. And well, there is one other reason for my prefering the oblong design. The circular one is .... well.... how shall I say this.... too Star Trekish?

ok, just boil it down for me.

The Yydryl is being invaded again from what i understand. How many? and how are they entering? Humans I presume? And roughly how are they armed?

Are these NI Jerks?

I think we need is a rough plot synopsis here for people like myself who are just now getting involved to get up to speed. Could someone oblige please/

It is up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. I know I need an editor...

However this is a reflection of a true life experience so...

Circular, and it helps with Silos um section as well. Silo I was against your taking over the bridge at first but you have wonn me over 1,000 %

It is awesome! Now deson, add Silos area into the middle and we will be in perfect sync!

I plan to end up in earth on Atlantis (Dark Atlantis) deep within the ocean, and when CM loads the whales onto the planet they will have been launched into the time just before Dark Lord conquers Atlantis. They hide and will assist me in hiding too, but not before I see what he is up to and what Dark Atlantis is all about.

Is that acceptable?
