Well, shoot, looks like the PR stuff is not suitable for Warrant Officers...Hm, what does an Exchange Officer do anyway ? (41-30) Is that just a catchall for all foreign military guys temporarily staying with the Marines, or does he manage such exchanges ?

The plotline will move this afternoon. I had a long freaking meeting this morning and I'm working on a wicked hacking cough.

(clears phlegm-filled throat)

Which reminds me...I needs to go to the local farmacia para compra las drogas narcoticas.

I can already taste the NyQuil.

Alrighty...what's everyone doing now that they're settled in?

Camping in my room as long as possible, only go out in the evening to what constitutes entertainment around here (if applicable). I've got a lot of stuff to go over that I haven't caught up with yet (re the vacation and what happened in the meantime, cause a good Power Brokerage agent should know what's going on), and I'm not going to increase the likelihood of making the Marines suspicious by going over every last detail of my cover story with them.

Since Artis is camping out in the Hummer, anyone who wants to go elsewhere (so far I have Kyun heading for the officer's club) will have to find alternative means of getting there.

Jess: Making the bad thoughts go away
Artis: Snoozing in the Hummer
Kyun: Going to eat/drink at the officers club
Brian: ?
Ayumi: ?

My apologies for not keeping up with things. Yesterday I had what could be described as the "worst-case scenario" dentist-style. To quote Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket.

"My life is a world of shit."

I'm going to try and keep up the pace, just bear with me.

Time to go investigate whatever is washing up.

Would Jess like to go somewhere or do something?

You don't have to, I just didn't want anyone to get bored waiting for something to happen.

I think she's blissfully wandering through the base right now, humming along to the music, but taking note of the location.

Any other questions or comments about the dead Navy SEAL?

"I guess seals ARE an endangered species, after all."

Kyun wants to see/hear/read the CSI people's report, especially if they can give an estimate on how long he's been in the water. Perhaps the two bodies were dumped deliberatly as a sign/warning.

Yeah...

I really don't know what else to do besides stand watch. Even as a player, I'm at a loss for situation-appropriate banter.

If you would like to do anything before meeting Jack at the airport, speak now.

Dumb question, but do we get these in addition to or instead of what we requisitioned ?

Gatac

That's what you get to choose from. I'll hopefully have BP values posted this evening.

As Kyun is on the 'pacifist' end of the scale as far as the team is concerned, how limited is access to gadgets and non-weapon equipment?

Oh, and what threat rating is this?

It's threat Rating Red, but I'll have to do all the BP/GP allocation stuff tonight...hopefully.

There will be a limited amount of gadgets available for this mission. Give me an idea of what you need and I'll just tell you can have it.

mostly combat gadgets. garotte watch, dummy wire thing, yadda yadda yadda.

Hey, when do I come in?

Well, it's 9:30pm and I just got back from dinner. Did I mention I still have to pack for my trip to Boston?

It looks like things are going on hiatus until I get back on Sunday.

Rest assured, Dieter will have thought of many ways to risk your life and limbs by then.

Buh-bye for now.
