A JvS Horror Story Idea

As Xeonon hinted at, the Imperial Remnant's RPers are discussing whether the Empire would send agents on this wild goose chase

Corraich: As long as you can form or hook up with a team to go, I'd be more than happy to have you aboard mate. Your willingness to play along and roll with the scenario's ultimate themes is incredibly appreciated.



Gabe: Well, it's not really a "wild goose chase". As stipulated in the explanation, there are navigable paths out to The Station, which many groups are now in possession of the Star Charts that lead out to it. There is an end to the route, and it is an entirely new route through space; That alone may be considered worthy of exploration and discovery. The Station, at the end of the route though, is still unconfirmed, yes.

When I said "wild goose chase" I was referring to the IC response of Imperial High Command, who have little faith in the ravings and stories of the peasants. Much like the fabled Katana fleet, there will be skepticism which would explain why the Imperial Remnant only sent a single cruiser or frigate and NPCs rather than a fleet

Even a Cruiser or Frigate I would not recommend for this: that's dedicating hundreds of men. I have a preference to very small groups and light freighters: something fast moving meant to just get there, confirm the story, and get back ASAP. Committing any sort of major military hardware to a rumor, in my opinion, would be a little excessive, neh?

My mistake in terminology... the ambiguous term "cruiser" can be used to describe a multitude of ships and I was thinking more along the size lines of a Naboo Cruiser than a Bothan Assault Cruiser

I would be absolutely delighted to throw in a current NPC or to conjure one up for this sole expedition.

I, as someone with only so much creativity, hate creating a spontaneous NPC for an RP like this. This would be the kind of RP in which I'd have to know everything about my character; strengths, weaknesses, ambitions, fears, etc. And I simply cannot throw together an NPC in which I've no personal investment before the RP and expect myself to pull this off. Serious kudos to those who can. That was why I asked about whether or not this would be a Closed or Open RP.

I would gladly toss Inferno into an RP like this with full intent on allowing him to die somewhere along the way - what's a good horror story without the deaths of a few characters, am I right? But if that means he's dead permanently then I may shy away from that idea considerably. Like I said, however, I'd really hate to be the I-don't-want-my-character-to-die kind of player.

That being said, I think I have another PC that I could put in on this, one that I've been developing on the side for a while, and haven't used in RP. Don't see myself getting him into the Universe otherwise in the near future, so I might as well contribute him to this RP, and whatever happens, happens.

Well if there are any Sithy sorts out there who might be interested in having a +1 to their party, let me know.

I really hope this gets off the ground, even if I am not apart. It will make good reading.

I would totally devote my crew to this but we are rather spread out at the moment.

Gabe: Okay buddy, thanks for clearing that up for me. Sounds good.



Adelle: Absolutely delighted to have you aboard, as always.



Inferno: You CAN toss Inferno in, that'd be no problem: there will be plenty of mental scarring and the like as well as physical harm. There's a certain aspect of horror that comes from watching someone go mad that can just about rival seeing someone die. If you're willing to roll with this, then so am I: I'll work with you gladly to conjure something up.



Corraich: Get those people to sign up! lol, spread the word. And thank you for the encouragement.



Ade: Sorry you're tied up, mate, I'd love to have you and some of the other Drakyon members aboard, but I understand constraints as much as anyone.

I'm throwing myself into this. My character has a definite weakness because he has Scopophobia. So I can only image the things he will experience in this station. I' m joining an ME3 type group right now, If you can contact the Mysterious man, I'm sure our group would be willing for this.

Scopophobia? Isn't that the fear of meddling kids and a great dane?

It's a fear of running out of bacon. As a Canadian, greatest nightmare.

good news, canadian bacon is just ham.

I believe.

Okay then I am in as Inferno.

I need to find a group to toss myself into though.

I am in, as discussed in the Chat.

i am in, as per discussion in chat.

the NPC i will be lending is named: Prard'aw'naurelius (rank: Major. Armour: [Armour AI: Murphy]).

not sure what really makes him tick, he is a model military Chiss, so i guess that would perhaps present problems when dealing with members of other species, since he would be less likely to listen to their advice since he would view them as lower class beings.

perhaps someone could hire him as a sort of heavy guard for one of the groups...

I've read the plot over several times and contemplated how I would like to get my Organization involved. My initial thought was to make this something for the members of the Perses Project to get involved with, however I think I will settle forhaveing one of my STARS teams get involved since you requested a 4 character limit for the teams.

I definitely want a part of this. I can submit a NPC I haven't used for a while. Derek Chilton is his name. I'll have to think of a more thorough backstory seeing as he didn't make it very far into my plans
