Activity = good.  I haven't caught up on the latest two posts yet, including yours, DR, but I'm glad to see y'all getting stuff up!  If you're dissatisfied with the quality, post again!    I promise, once you get into a rhythm, it gets easier, and the quality can't help but go up too, no matter where you're starting from: practice makes perfect!

I'm about to DR. I was actually waiting for you to post so I didn't double post.

It warms the liver - seeing so many people promise to post and move things along and toward some hopefully awesome ending.

I'm almost considering buying y'all a drink... using Echelon's paychecks of course Wouldn't want people thinking I'm going soft after all

It's a commonly known fact that Deep is the richest man in the Empire.

He has enough money to transplant himself into a whole other body if need be.

I don't think liver is an issue.

Hardly... You buy one good medical droid to do the transplants and then you just go ahead and procure viable livers. You didn't actually think I'd pay for them all, did you? So long as no one links this to the long list of pilots dying in supposed training exercises... well it's all rather cheap actually.

Now if I were to pay a little extra and switch bodies entirely... I'd go for a Zeltron. You know, two livers better than one and all the goodness associated with that statement...

Pfft, what you should truly be afraid of is the realization that you've only just scratched the surface. Just imagine (and it's unlikely even so you'll come too close) what further horrors lie underneath...

/me coughs and randomly points at the army of ships, droids, tanks, walkers and large predators patiently waiting for something to happen

Anyone ever consider just what exactly it is that all those are actually guarding? Just something to think about...

Does anyone ever?

Also, gundarks? It's quite possible I collected a few of those as well, but if so they were likely a minority when compared to the acklays - much creepier pets in my opinion. Still, they do apparently listen to Mr. Fluffness - the friendly, homicidal Rancor that's usually found picking his fangs with the bones of newly devoured victims... rather adorable when you get used to the sight.

Also, thank ye for the booze...

/me carefully stores it with the other thousands upon thousands of gallons of it

I'm pleased to announce that the NHC has formally enacted Ryn's idea for an ongoing CD thread.  StOrMz asked me to whip something up, which you can check out here: Heart of the Fleet.  As always, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Last login, June 8th? so you were saying? Since I'm likely dead anyways, just wanted to say (now that I’ve given Mr. SC ample time to reply) All I was referring to was the fact that we barely got a "hello" from the fellow. I guess that could have been to make this more realistically like the military, but now Scral's in charge and frack knows how that's going to turn out.

I am just thankful for the sweet caress of death, enjoy the rest of the story.

Sorry about that, Ryn. I'm in a rural area and something happened with the internet provider. They've had a backlog of people to get to in fixing it and we just now got set back up. Believe me, I'd much rather have been here and active.

In other news...wow! This topic just about exploded. Great to see so much activity! I'm gonna get caught up and try to get a post written tonight if possible, but it might be tomorrow if the parents kick me off the PC for the night.

Fresh meat for the grinder... or as they say in the SFC, "new booze providers for the cheap bastard" To welcome Jaz to the squadron I'll be throwing a party - you're all invited to participate, but only if you bring booze along. Oh, and if you choose not to participate... well better not go into details so as not to scare off the new recruit

In regards to the roster changes - those do not occur ICly in the current Navy story so don't bother running around and editing all your previous posts... you know, just in case you were having such thoughts

Cresh 2 FTW!!! Darn, and I just my ID line fixed. Great timing Trick.

Well, I'll be at the party! Deep already knows (or maybe he was too inebriated to remember) that I have nearly unlimited stock of Blue stuff, and a lot of more alcoholic Red stuff, so dig in!

Welcome to the fleet, Jaz. Rest assured, every bottle of the Blue Stuff you see comes directly from my personal brewery, located in my quarters aboard the Halcyon Warrior. Don't worry- I'm the Captain, so there's plenty of room. I don't sleep in the vat or anything. That's definitely not why it's blue.

*says with a somewhat dramatic voice in awe*  I have so much to learn...

I taught you better than this Eli... There's simply no "I" in team, just as there is none in the Rancor's name either. Now you can either bribe me with enough booze to forget about it... or you try explaining to Mr. Fluffness how in the huge blasted galaxy you could've possibly gotten his adorable name wrong.
