And it's all up. Hope you enjoy my little twist.

I absolutely loved your scene George and I'm glad you didn't cut it down.

James is a fascinating character and I really enjoyed working with the dream. I tried to make it seem muted and create a scene depicting his coldness and calculations.

He wanted more power and was driven to get the big time weaponry, I think their was a definite reason for that, not just the "just in case" reason he supplied on the surface.

He was serious and he meant business. It's not everyday one gets to look in a mirror like that, and whatever James saw, it led him straight to some serious action.

More to mention later, but I've got some work to do.

Nicely done you two. I thought that was exciting to read.  And George decided to off his own character.  RIP James.  

But actually that was kind of smart on George's part because he knew he would get another chance at life.  He gets to reincarnate - the last one to get to do that.  So send me your new character George.

One other thing though, I always thought EMPs did electronic damage but not structural damage.

Dreamscale is up next and I'm sure he's already fretting about how he's going to use his kill.

I just woke up so I might not be all that coherent, so after my mind wakes up more I'll update the tracksheet.

A pure EMP blast only affects electronics, but there are pulse weapons at least rumored to be in development (and one rumored used in Iraq to devastating effect, but little stock can be put in that, to be honest, except to reference it to make up a future weapon in a story like this) that have the effect that James stated. Basically the way it works is that the pulse is so concentrated that it can physically impact its target causing a rather significant explosion, but as opposed to a bullet or bomb, it's a pulse.

And yeah, I'd been thinking about my next character. I knew. I've got something clever cooking.

haha! I had also thought about killing my own character at least once when the game started. But you beat me to it. Bummer.

It was a nice litle scene (well, more like the largest one in the entire game.LOL). But could please, PLEASE confirm to me who James wanted to kill? I have my suspicions but I'm itching to know. x0

It can't be Shiva. Shiva is an "it", not a "she". But then you did refer to it as an "it" so I'm confused.

And I don't think the snakes would've been that hard to outrun, not hard enough to warrant a character sacrifice anyway :/

Good job regardless.

Different characters' viewpoints on the same thing. Michael, in my opinion anyway, considers Shiva a female where Leona is more uncertain and only calls Shiva it. But yes, James was taking actions against Shiva "just in case."

Regular snakes would be easy to outrun, but these aren't regular snakes. These critters are manufactured and can do whatever their master says. If that means move at an unnatural speed, then so be it. And James would have been able to outrun them if he had not injured himself trying to slow them down.

Turns out they probably don't even exist.

Tracksheet is updated and two new characters have been added.

That's an interesting take especially on my character. But I guess the passage of time will explain that. Interesting in deed. I wonder where we will meet up with the other characters. Only time will tell.

Are there any character backgrounds for the 2 new characters?  I don't see them anywhere.

I'm doing my best to get my post completed today.  I've been sick since Thursday, so it's been rough going.  I will deliver though, so stay tuned...

There are character backgrounds for the two new characters but I won't post them until the turn where the characters are going to be introduced.

Sounds like it's been a tough turn for you Jeff, cheers for sticking with it and I hope you feel better soon.

Jeff,

I'm starting to get what you've got. I think the flu's been going around like wildfire.

Take your time. Don't rush it if you're sick.

I'm making chicken soup.

Hopefully someone can make you some and give you lots of pampering.

Michael,

I love the interesting work you're doing with the characters on the tracksheet. AND...

I love your avatar!!!!

Sandra

Sorry everyone, but I'm going to be a number of hours late.  I feel like shit, but I'm half way done.  Early tomorrow.  Sorry.

No worries Jeff, thanks for letting us know. Just as a note, I start a new job tomorrow so I have no idea if I'll have access to the internet much less the ability to visit Simply Scripts.  So I won't be able to update the tracksheet when Jeff goes and I probably won't even be able to update this thread.  I'll take care of it when I'm home which may be a bit on the late-ish side.

Good luck with tomorrow Michael.
