"Ivan, no offense meant, but just what sort of humani are you?" Jimi asks, "I don't think I've ever seen a race like you and I know I've never heard of the Upape race. Do your people come from somewhere rimward of Terra? You say the Sollies consider you folks lower than their dogs, s...

"Been a pilot and explorer for so long, its all I know. Spacin is all I know. Bein on planets is the weird part for me..." "I see," Jiao says with a smile. She turns to Ivan. "Ivan?" "Thanks, Jiao. I'm Ivan Erwin. I'm a certified bridge officer, working on Free Tr...

OOC:
Hey everyone, sorry about the delay posting. Been fighting off a case of the yuks. Mild fever, no energy, tough concentrating, that kinda thing I'm still in the game.
See replies below.

Saul- It may be best to wait a while and see if they release the townsfolk from the high school. That we can watch their movements. We can look for a weak spot in their security. Je looks up the tree at Yo. You able to stay for while Yo? Yeah, I'm good Saul. We're gonna need somebody on our six for...

About 1 mile outside of the town of Milner, Idaho; 12:15 PM, Tuesday, 16 June, 1987 The band of freedom fighters drove a bit closer to the town of Milner and then pulled thier pickups off road and into some heavily wooded cover and Yo shimied up a tree with a pair of binoculars to check things out....

Just wanted to throw a few things out there to everybody… Ottarus: I have no problem with Yo having a pair of binoculars, I'll add this to his character post Everybody: My vision of Milner isn't what it actually looks like….basically, it's a small, square-shaped town of maybe half a dozen blocks….....

Saul- 3 of us should take a overwatch position for a while. See if there is any enemy movement in town. Billy, myself and another. Yo nods his agreement. Sounds good. I'll take a turn at OP. I think that an Asian stranger walking into to town might be a little conspicuous anyway. We got any binocs ...

Ramona looks at the ships profile and then at Jiao, "Sister, that ain't no warship and pretending it is is an amazing way to get dead fast." "That is a get in, get the job done and get the hell out before someone figures out a way to take advantage of the situation." I agree. Tu...

Max, did we happen to pick up any grenades from the Sovs? That's something we're gonna want to get and hoard. It isn't like we'll be getting air drops any time soon.

Ivan laughs at the banter at the table in way that would make an Aslan's dewclaws come out... Yeah, this crew will do. Gospa Stotts, I like how you think. The armament package will do just fine, thank you. As to crewing the ship, I'm a qualfied bridge officer, Helm and Navigation. I've got some tech...

[Check my post in the OOC] Milner is just off I-84 on the Snake River almost exactly equidistant between Boise and Pocatello. Idaho has three major population clusters... To the North in the panhandle is Coer d'Alene [koor duh-layn], which is just over the state line from Spokane WA. About 100 miles...

Adv. 2, Your Own Private Idaho Got a question as we approach the town of Milner, ID. I am about to show my age terribly, but... Do any of us have CB radios in our trucks? They were a huge thing in the 70's and early 80's, to the point of even having Top 40 singles on the radio... CBs had their own ...

Ramona raises an eyebrow, "What's your latest intell on Lanixhon? Last time I was there it was an unmitigated shit hole populated by lunatics with guns and homeless people driven from their homes by a war they didn't want." "The up-port is a ring shaped razor blade nightmare of debri...

Ivan looks around the table as everyone starts brainstorming before they've signed on for anything... A sigh... Okay from the discussion on the table right now, it looks like we're all getting into what you're referring to as 'Level 2 disclosures' here. The whole burn-before-reading, we'll-kill-you-...

Piling the dead Commie's crap on the ground, Yo let's Jenny look at his shoulder. These guys don't look anything like organized collaborators, and besides, it isn't as if he can tend the back of his shoulder himself. If these guys wanted to waste him, it was 4-1 anyway. Saul, Jenny, Raffy, and Billy...

PRESENT: Jimi, Ramona, Jiao, Ivan, Aadam. A few minutes later, after you've introduced yourselves, the door opens, and four people come in. Jimi recognises the two women, Go-Go and Gospa Zhukova, the lawyer. The two males are a middle aged man in upper middleclass business attire and a middleaged m...

Saul- Takes a quick look around to see if sees any more movement. I think we got them all. But we better move in case they have friends around. Scavenge what can from the bodies and lets leave. He turns to man they just saved. I am Saul These are my friends. He continues to introduce the group. Do ...

As you sit and finish your zapana, your phones chime with the arrival of a text message. When you open it, it reads "Meeting today 1345 at office 47 Gorky. Please attend. Ask for Gospodin Hardlin." "Hm," Jiao picks up her comm and taps in a text response: *I will be there.* She ...

Billy Barstowe With the three Russian soldiers down, Billy will stand up and wave to the stranger. Hello down there! Are you okay? If the Reds were trying to kill you, I think we have a lot in common! Looking around to make sure there are no other Soviet troops on the way, he will start making his ...
