One final chance: An FTL-RP

[elijahdb]

Does anyone know where kestralfan, Omega King and The Bear are? They consist of one Lanius and two Engies, so that's more than half of the robots on the ship (not counting Quintet).

Does anyone know where kestralfan, Omega King and The Bear are? They consist of one Lanius and two Engies, so that's more than half of the robots on the ship (not counting Quintet).

I'm guessing kestrelfan has just had a busy week, but I didn't even know the other two existed and I came ten pages ago so I honestly doubt they're coming back.

He started at the system. Taking out a wrench and working out some kinks to prepare the terminal for what he was about to code in.

"First of all, the rebel fleet is a sack of potatoes with lasers on them compared to the threat they were before, and..." he took a second to carefully interchange a wire. "with a few innovations, they added some minor chain-jumping. While it's only about two jumps or so, it's a lot less fuel-extensive than normal chain-jumping." After a bit more configuring, he stood up, plopped down in the seat, and started with his work.

Just to help me and others who are a little confused about who's in this RP, I'm making this list.
The names in blue are the ones who are most likely gone.

(Name) (Alien Species) (Forum Username) (Present/Gone)

Quintet, A.I. (dyno101). Present.

B21, Engi (The Bear). Gone, last post Sep. 13.
Gat, Engi (Omega King). Probably gone, last post Oct. 17.

Tabitha, Human/Machine (stylesrj). Present.
Cathos, Human (I_am_person). Present.

Arkangel, Lanius (Nomiddlename). Present.
Nazia, Lanius (I_am_person). Present.
Derk, Lanius (kestralfan). Unknown, last post Nov. 21.

Kr, Mantis (Chickengames). Present.
Targon, Mantis (elijahdb). Present.

I blurred out the part of my RP post talking to Derk, since he might be gone.

Targon, finishing his can of meat, walked over to the pilot room and saw the new guy, Cathos, fiddling with the controls. He was a little concerned, but remembered that Quintet would put a stop to any mutiny. He walked in and introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Targon." He looked at what the Human was doing. "What in the world-" He leaned in and peered with his one black eye at the configured wires. For once, the blue Mantis didn't even have an inkling as to what was going on.
He stared at the coding Cathos was inserting into the system. "What are you using? I don't recognize that type of coding.

"And is your Lanius easy to converse with?" Targon added. "I'm working on a project and I would like to copy some of her mainframe into my computer. My colleague and I are attempting to create Engi-Lanius hybrids, and we need more mainframes.

Tabitha watched the man get to work with reconfiguring the machinery. "This better not change the interface. I think I had the sensitivity of the controls calibrated just right."
She looked over to Targon "Why don't you two get acquainted while I go cook something up. The kitchen's restocked and I'm dying to try out some new spices."
As she reached the threshold of the door, she asked "Oh by the way, how do you want your space whale, Cathos? If you say extra-rare or something that only involves lightly searing the edges, I'm going to throw you out of the airlock!"

[I_am_person]

"Raw, thank you, if you know how to disinfect it; and this might be a little bit of a stretch but if you happen to be able to make sushi I'd appreciate it." Knowing very well that there was a risk of her just plopping a chunk of random space whale, bones and all, on his plate, he turned to Targon. For a second he was about to ask whether he had to get blue skin as well, but refrained and answered his questions.

"Makes sense that you haven't seen this code much. Assembly's pretty much only used by rebel hackers for its compatibility with other languages as well as its purely earthly origins. Which means, by the way, she" he gestured at Tabitha, "won't have to worry about me screwing up her stuff." He faced the terminal again and moved the screen over to a general display of his work.

"Right now I'm just working on making this ship able to chain-jump efficiently. I'm not as familiar with this code so maybe later if you could help me that'd be great. About Nazia..." he paused for a second, in thought.

"Well, first of all, she's not my lanius, per say. Since I don't think she's capable of being owned by anybody, but if whether she'd participate in your experiment is something I don't know. I doubt she'll say no, though."

I'm going to throw him out the airlock with Targon, Tabitha thought to herself as she went to the mess hall to prepare the meals. She checked one of the nearby draws for some chef-related clothing and put on a bright white apron that was only slightly stained and of course the standard toque.
While the steaks were cooking for everyone else, she began chopping up the space whale chunks and seaweed for the sushi, carefully arranging it in a very appetising fashion.
She then reached for the spice rack to look for the hottest, spiciest spice to ruin the sushi with...

"Hmm, yes, I'll have to get to kno- I mean learn the code later." Targon replied to Cathos. "See you at dinner." He left the room and poked his head into the kitchen. Something smelled good.

"Well, well, if it isn't Tabby the Chef! Do you mind not disinfecting my meat? I like it fresh from the kill. Thanks!" The blue Mantis ducked before Tabitha could throw anything at him and went to the door room to find Nazia. He found Kr there staring at something on the door controls.

"Hey, where's Nazia? And what are you staring at?" Targon walked over and saw the word etched onto the console. "Numbered? Did you write that on there?"

[Chickengames]

Kr responded to Targon, "I must have. I came in here to wait for the jump and feel asleep again. The doors must be hypnotizing or something. When I woke up this was etched here, and as far as I know, no one came in while I was asleep." He looked at it for a moment and said again, "It's my handwriting too. As for Nazia, I haven't seen her since she came on board." Kr traced the word with his claw before looking up again. "What do you need her for, anyway?"
