Hey, guys. Just dropping in to let you know that I'm going to Scotland for a week starting tomorrow so I've put up a hiatus until then.

In regards to the clone plot, I dunno if I'll have any interent connection where we're going but if we do, I'lll find a way of telling you guys and we'll continue. If I don't respond to a thread or post in a day or so then assume I have no way of getting on the net and skip Hana's turn. I'm sure we can brain out later what he did.

All the best, see you in a week.

Subthreads Open So Far:

ALL (more will be added)

Please note: Barring the Medical Database theft one where the players have been talked to, several people have said to skip their turns. (Nanoha and Hana). As this is fighty stuff, you are to vaguely assume their character is fighting besides yours. That's really the only way turns can be skipped. Players who are hiatusing, please just jump in where you can. We'll try to keep the threads going as long as we can.

For this part, instructions for each subthread and posting orders are listed. Please respect the posting order and if your character wouldn't say anything during your turn, contact the next player to tell them to skip you, or comment with a sort of placeholder of the character doing some vague action. If someone lags for too long and we can't get a hold of them to tag, the plot-runners will grant permission to skip. Try for a post or two a day if you can.

For those of you with thread-tracking capability, I'd highly recommend tracking your relevant subthreads.

Feel free to ask any and all questions here or by AIM. Remember, the HMD is more for problems and "I'm not having fun" kinda stuff. General questions are best asked here in the ooc comments accompanying each part or by AIM or email.

Please keep in mind that many choices the plot-runners are making are dictated by the size of the plot and the sheer numbers involved. We apologize for this in advance, but you were warned that size might be an issue with the plot. It's too big a group for everyone to have that special part moving things along.

Also, for those concerned about not having time between the plot and Lirath, we are to have two weeks from the plot ending to Lirath. The mods have agreed to push back Lirath to give us some downtime.


ALSO A HANDY PLOT TIMELINE:

Here's a general timeline of events, so everyone knows how things went down.

- Main crew got dropped off at Galilee. Backup people stayed on the Quarter, in orbit around the planet OR we can say it was just a transport to keep an eye on the crew. They're boosting the signals so they can still communicate.

- Rest of Ship goes to Tapestry planet. Time dilation there means all events there take less than a day on Galilee, but longer for the crew on the Tapestry mission.

- Backup released from the Quarter down to planet to wait in hotel.

- Trans9 started to come back. Kon's comm post went up, with the signal boosted by the Quarter, which had been left behind and everyone got to freak, but the ship was still far off.

- Trans9 has now reached Galilee and had podpop, but comms are blocked, leading to Allenby's rescue attempt.

In the department of 'thinking of fun things to do between cloneplot and Lirath', some friends and I have resurrected an idea that's been bouncing around the meatship for at least a year, maybe a year and a half. That idea is a fun little activity called Space Prom, which is...an all-ages prom. In space. More specifically, in the Sensoriums. Exactly what it says on the tin.

We'll have a parade with floats, costumes in any style, a prom royal court, performances...whatever you want, and feel free to suggest more! It's just a way to blow off steam and have a party with everyone.

In this post, I'll need to figure out several things:
-The date, so as not to conflict with other celebratory plans for the same time period
-The theme. Starfire is leaning toward a 'friendship YAY' type of theme with happiness and gifts and flowers
-Who else is on the prom planning committee
-Royal Court nominations and voting (likely handled over trans_channel in separate IC posts---I want to keep it a surprise :D)
-Chaperone volunteers
-Mini-activities you'd like to do, like a food fight or party crashing
-Any suggestions y'all have for a grand old time!

Thanks!
-Zoki
