Long story short... James opened the alien-tech equivalent of a "bag of holding" and got burried in books

LOL would be fun to RP! Honestly though that whole overly excited nosebleed thing is one of the dumbest anime tropes IMO. I always roll my eyes when I see it.

The censorship is a result of their surrender terms at the end of WWII (yes we actually imposed censorship requirements on Japan as part of our demands) and they've yet to get them completely cleared off the books.

Well aware of that

Before you can report to Lazlo, James, aren't we going to have to pull you out of the sea of d20s?
Yes, indeed you will, and hopefully quickly!Lost Seraph wrote:"James Cormac analyzed one of the artifacts that had been puzzling everyone; an opal coloured metal ovoid nearly two feet long with a sapphire like gem at the top.

LOL, not worried about that, I'm sure DhAkael will do something like keep James researching the Morphii stuff so he's busy and out of the way lol. So if things get nasty he'll be ok.

DhAkael wrote:The long Road or “Getting to know you better.”
A short meeting took place after the funeral ceremony. Rika decided on splitting the group between the two ships: Fionna, Shalyndra, Deiter & Leena would take the Sleipnir back to Terra via the dimensional gate located at Aiedo space-port on Motavia; while Rika and the rest would travel to Phaseworld under conventional FTL in Fenris-Darkstar after dropping off the smaller craft. This seemed to sit well with all concerned and after a quick power-up cycle, engaged the very last magi-tech gift given to Phoenix Alpha by Thomas Carmichael; the Trans-dimensional Teleport Grid. In an eternal moment, Fenris-Darkstar translated from the Necrosis Sector several mega-parsecs upwards to the Algol system Space-Station Zelan (one of 3 locations the Fenris was ‘keyed’ to). Quick farewells were exchanged between the two crews as Sleipnir decoupled from the larger pocket-carrier’s underside and sped away to Motavia. Rika didn’t stand on ceremony and had Fenris-Darkstar make course for Phaseworld at best speed and course.
Over the next 24 days the remainder of Team Alpha got to know each other better and exchanged much in the way of personal history and experiences with the newer members. Rika and Tao-Shi Moon discussed the existence of multiple versions of ‘Space war 1 / the Robotech Wars’ and the mash-up colony of UN-Spacey REF city Landing in Vancouver. James (when he could break away from studying the Morphii archives) and Markus talked about the separation of fact from myth about the true N.E.M.A. and time just after the cataclysm. As for Jack & Johannes, both spent time in the Fenris’ gymnasium sparring while Felix pined for Leena and butterflies and fearing robots (not exactly in that order).
At one point the routine was interrupted as Uno-Rez introduced herself to everyone; James Cormac was gob-smacked when he saw the blue-haired “woman” in person (only having heard her voice broadcast from the bridge) and was told that THIS was Rika’s “daughter”. Asking Markus about the captivating and enigmatic female and how Rika could have an adult child… Mr. Falkon just smiled and sipped at his coffee and replied mysteriously;
“She came with Rika.”
Eventually the Fenris-Darkstar entered into Phasewoorld space (and almost had an “Incident” as they exited FTL close to a Phase-gate), and docked with one of the myriad of transfer space-stations. James had finished compiling the inventory of items recovered and approximate value, with Rika vetoing the sale of ANY of the functional Morphii’n devices (the broken / smaller civilian artifacts could be safely sold off to scholars & collectors). When asked where on the trans-dimensional hub they could find a reliable broker, the NuMan captain winced but suggested someone named “Squiddy”; a non-human (her words; “He’s… a Monro-Tet) buyer & seller of ANYTHING rare & unique. The catch was, he would only do preliminary meeting using a proxy and meeting with said proxy had to be in a very public place with lots of security. The easiest place to find one of Squiddy’s proxies?

Jay05 wrote:The only thing I'm curious about is why Rika would send us to do business with a Monro. If memory serves, aren't they by and large loyal subjects to the Kreegor empire. Doesn't the Algolian government have treaties with the Consortium? Wouldn't doing business with an obvious criminal probably loyal to an hostile government countermand PF's duties? Or are we more autonomous than that?

I own the book I've read their write-up numerous times, I didn't imply he was evil. I implied he is likely aligned with the TGE,(per the write-up who's world IIRC is firmly enenched in the TGE) Phoenix Force's home govt has a standing political alliance with the CCW (correct me if I'm wrong DhAkael) which would make the whole thing politically sticky even if the Monroe in question isn't evil. Which was my point. But yes I knew ahead of time that not all Monroe are evil.Lost Seraph wrote:It's Phase World, Jay. Not all Monro are evil.
