Nope, it was to Garrius. From Andrea. I can resend, if you want. I should still have a copy.

Hello, all. First up I want to apologise for my unexplained absence. It wasn't Thailand. Goatkiller is wrong, Cambodia is the place to be for that kind of holiday. Thailand costs too much in bribe money. Gary Glitter would agree.

But, I haven't been away. An ex visited me for a week and I had mountains of work to get through. The week after, I still had mountains of work to get done, and I was suffering from a severe lack of sleep brought on by over-work.

Nonetheless, I am now ready to get back into updates. I will start these sometime from now to the next 48 hours.

Dorian, if you want to do your own thing on the Invictus, that's cool. Alternatively, we could have you easily join Zarkov's expedition to the planet if you like. Neither adventure should take very long. Just let me know what you'd like.

Joining Zarkov could be fun.

Montresor · Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 8:16 am Post subject:

In that case, just let me know who Zarkov leaves in command of the Bridge. The two senior bridge officers who haven't gone on a mission are Mordia and Vehle.

neither are really ideal if I'm honest

Montresor · Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 9:12 pm Post subject:

Indeed. Alas, they are the only senior bridge staff left on the ship. Appointing someone below them would break protocol. On the other hand, you could leave someone outside of the chain of command in charge, such as Detronimus, Julient, or Du Preste, but they are all unused to that kind of authority.

Bring them with you too, then appoint someone lower down the ladder (who is, nonetheless the highest ranking person left). Kind of leaves a power vacuum, maybe giving an incentive for low-ranking berks to consider mutiny... but it doesn't break protocol.

Ha. I'm always hypothetical in these discussions.

Oh.

I was hoping Garrius wouldn't listen. Then Andrea would be in charge. (Hah... good luck trying to convince the military types of THAT.)

Garrius Amphael · Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 1:56 am Post subject:

Ok cool

If Zarkov stone can confirm whether or not Zarkov has informed Garrius of Mordia then we will go from there. If Garrius does not know about it, then he will appoint Mordia. Otherwise I am unsure. He may even stay aboard the vessel, seeing as it is the greatest priority and makes sense that he would.

If I find out by tonight I will try knock up a post. If not I will put some much needed time into VoB instead.

Montresor · Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 2:17 am Post subject:

No problem. I'll wait until tomorrow before updating anything. The extra time could do me good anyway.

Note from Zarkov to Garrius: 'Mordia is a clusterfuck'

Given the circumstances I think it would be most believable if Garrius stayed with the vessel. It is the priority after all, and Garrius could feel a pang of guilt for not being aboard her during the space battle as well.

Either way, I think he would want to remain with the vessel, leaving the scavening to the executive officers.

Anybody home?

For many days. Have you checked the latest updates?

/facepalm.

I checked the latest (singular) entry. Well... I saw that Salt had posted. I just assumed we were waiting on you. Clearly, that was not one of my better days, assumption-wise.

I'll go do my part, now.

I'm so absent minded. I thought I had replied after Salt, so I was surprised to see her 'new' reply. It took a moment to realise that I had not replied! I will do so tomorrow.
