Bomb Discovered at Spaceport
Police were called to the North Pole Spaceport today following the discovery of a bomb. Early speculation that this was Ordnance left over from the Battle of Sparks has been denied by informed sources and those sources are describing this as a targeted attack on the Queen of the Belt. This ship had recently been the centre of attention of the Starflight Inc enquiry and police are now trying to confirm that these incidents are linked.

My thoughts are we are literally still at this point in the timeline and 'breaking news' doesn't give us any opportunity to quell the news or put another angle on it or even cover it up.

Who are the 'informed sources'? Surely not one of the crew and I would have hoped local police and demolitions experts don't instantly blab to the press before any investigation is launched.

I have been in buildings targeted by bombs an a number of occasions, and on at least one, the police hadn't even arrived when the announcement of a roads and rail closure due to the bomb was on the news! Too many people are involved for it to be any type of secret. Air Traffic, Road Traffic, Discoverer, Discoverer's assistant, are all aware. A news photographer friend once remarked that they got calls to some stuff and had to prompt the people ringing them to report an incident to the police. They'd ring the news service first!

From the point the police were involved, you aren't going to get near the device (more than their jobs worth - and anyway, their team is in Vacuum and yours is inside). You might be able to wangle sight of the reports later somehow (Advocate, Admin, Streetwise, Diplomacy, Carouse, Persuade...pick a strategy...but that will take time).

Apologies for the version above that didn't work!
n.b. I haven't drawn all the intel links that Noor has about the Starflight Inc entity.
n.b. Black edges show deceased persons. Red edges show those of Noor's contacts that might be playing both sides. (I can guarantee that not all are)

One error found: Ngora has 1 share, not 2.

After the enquiry to join by Keven, I haven't heard a peep - so I'm assuming that keven will not now be joining.

His schedule is really variable, but he does post in his games.

My computer has finally died beyond repair, after limping on for nearly a year.

I’ll post using the fiddly little ‘phone, which isn’t ideal, until I can afford a new machine.

Note on Maggie:

She will return to the ship in several hours, with her personal gear in tow. Pop her back in at an appropriate point.

I take terse replies as circumstances rather than a character trait!

Arnwulf
...Perhaps we could go ask him some polite questions?" by which he means go and kidnap him and bring him aboard the ship for questioning before we turn him over to authorities

Could this be why the Marines suited so much more than the police?

[Bluetongue]

I posted this

As an aside. I note Reven has posted lots of sleepy, yawn in his posts. Is this because his character is tired after late nights and work or because we note he may be ill? Lack of oxygen in his blood for example making him tired? Just wanted to ask so we don't miss a character in pbp who in face to face relations would obviously be visibly sick.

and just want to check Reven is okay not ill.

[BackworldTraveller]

He's just a bit...out of it. and tired. He always was a bit weird - Just ask Assana what she thinks!

[BackworldTraveller]

OK - Wednesday is now definitely done!!!

Noor and Tbbs are at least in the same 24 hour period as the rest of you!

[Stirling]

You have locked posting in the Tibbs follows up forum. Where should I post?

[BackworldTraveller]

Sorry - Thought you'd retired for the night...Unlocked.

I'm hoping to get a less disparate storyline tomorrow, but that may be just pie-in-the sky!

Plans for tomorrow???

• Welding the crack in the hull (Hopefully trivial unless someone falls off)
• Indrani's got a choice of cargos waiting that can be shifted under the 28-day papers
• There a pair (ish) of lasers in bits that Arnwulf would like to find a manual/parts for
• Nalani's got a dirt-side task to undertake
• Anything arising from the Queen's computer or Nalani's overnight stay at the Hotel
• Anything arising from Tibbs overnight stay at the Hotel (or his earlier (alleged) kidnapping and assault with actual bodily harm)
• Anything arising from Assana's luxury living
• Whatever Noor and Anne cook up
• The Police Visit to the ship
• Anyone want to add anything????

Ensure that, aside from the hull crack, we have everything we need to fly.

Half the fun is forcing the players to take off with only half what they need isn't it!

or am I doing this wrong?

Oh, no, that's one of the few joys the GM has. Far be it from us to take that from you..

 (or his earlier (alleged) kidnapping and assault with actual bodily harm)

I must say as an ooc reader to the action it was rather entertainingly written.

As I said you get to keep or lose a pinkie if I don't get the right answer ... "
