Hello, Steel here, and welcome to the Space Pirates plot! I'm sorry if this is kind of short notice, but I wanted to get this finished before I went to bed so all the participants could post by the time I wake up.

I would like everyone who signed up for the plot here to post in the introduction thread in Star Command. The way it goes, since I didn't exactly explain it in the post, is that everyone was notified of their departure a day prior and had to meet Rocket Crockett at the Space Terminal (located in the Highways) in order to get to Star Command. You're free to embellish your posts as much as you want in relation to this experience, but just make sure to post once before I post as Nebula. Once you're split into teams, I'll devise a posting order for you to go by.

I'll be using this thread for any important notifications and updates regarding the plot, so make sure to check back often!

Act One: Space Bound for the Hunt

Okay, update! I have made three individual threads, dedicated to each team.

[Act Two] Team Alpha: Megamind, Samara, Flash Man, Bloodscream
[Act Two] Team Beta: Jana, MINERVA 4.0, Samus Aran, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch
[Act Two] Team Gamma: Garrus, Shepard, Red Spy, Rasa'Jeqkogomee

I will give you guys 1-2 weeks to post at your leisure. There is no specific posting order, and I will only post if and when your characters reach the bridge to talk with the Space Rangers. You are free not to talk with them, if that's IC for you.

The objective at this stage is that two weeks' training has passed, Nebula split everyone into three teams, with a Space Ranger team accompanying each, and each team is going to a particular spacecraft crash site. There is no telling what you'll find there, but when the time comes you'll be informed of what you're supposed to do.

Have fun, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask here!

I have posted in all three threads for you now. Finally, the exci8ting part has arrived: exploring the shipwrecks! Your objective? To find clues as to the pirates' motives, whereabouts, anything they might have left behind, or the kind of damage they inflicted that will determine their firepower. Pretty much anything that can prove useful against the pirates. The ships themselves used to be commercial vessels, where innocents were attacked, so the ships are fairly run down.

Everyone, please post ONCE A TURN. It doesn't matter what order you post in each time, as long as you do so only once and consecutively. And as of today, STRIKES will also be put into effect. Therefore, you have THREE DAYS TO POST. If you don't manage to post within three days from today, you will be SKIPPED and earn a STRIKE. After you earn three strikes (that's if you fail to post three times) you will be kicked out of the thread.

I never said death was a factor, and it won't be now. But you will be kicked out unless you have a valid reason you could not post and you warn us in advance of the fact.

Any questions or concerns can be posted in this thread. Thanks!

Deadline for this round of posting:
DECEMBER 22, 2011
12:00 PM GMT

Characters who will be skipped and get a strike if they do not post:
SAMUS ARAN

I was lenient this round. But the next round will enforce the three-day rule.

MINERVA 4.0 posted; removed from list. The following still applies.
