Fyi: Type 3 AI's have full human rights in the Terran Confederation--if they reject something, you can't force it on them. There are self-defense laws in the Terran Confederation too, so if you tried to forcibly link up to Kephart, he's well within his rights to blow you away.

Well, seeing as how Kephart is a fully fledged member of the INEF, Prosper cannot refuse him, except in the case when his orders counter something a superior officer has said. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of not having free will, is that you can't mind rape another AI without being told to do so...Fyi: Type 3 AI's have full human rights in the Terran Confederation--if they reject something, you can't force it on them.

You fucking like whore.
It's okay to do short posts! Proper pacing sometimes calls for nothing more than a single paragraph. Length is no indicator of quality: I'd rather read one paragraph describing opening fire than a half a dozen gratuitously foisted and hamfisted paragraphs describing ludicrously over-complicated actions depicting the same end result. So long as the intention is clear, it's a good post.

Did someone say Prosper? ;P

Wait, does Prosper have an angle on the enemies in the main street from the East facing window, or would he have to move to see them?
He has an angle from his position.

Alright. This post should be rather short as all I can reasonably have him do is take a shot and then relocate, but I'll make it as damn good as possible! XD
Yo, ladies and gents, I'm noticing some people haven't posted yet and we're about to hit the weekend--when I'm going to post. This is just a reminder to post folks!

Same here. Going to work work on a post as soon as I find myself some coffee
Look below action log for additional notes--your name may be pinged there, as well as in the action log!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
North Bellsford, Super-Centre: Currently in a high-tension area, engaged.
North Bellsford, Zinc Road: Holding position.
East Bellsford, Red Line: In the midst of attempting to restart the subway system.
East Bellsford, Convoy #4: Fell behind and is attempting to reach Red Line.
Additional NPC information here. Don't be afraid to ask more info on them.
Tip: This right here is an indicator from me to you if your character failed a courage check. It usually takes more than one failure before your character will panic, but keep an eye out for these key terms. I'm not hijacking your characters when I do this, I'm letting you know when they failed a stat check.
Next GM IC Post will go up Sunday 27th.
@Azathoth You can describe your character going all the way down on the rappel and reaching the marble steps at the bottom in a single post. Normally I'd have described your general hopping on the rappel line and going all the way down, but instead I'm leaving that to you to give you more to do. Just letting you and everyone else know so that nobody thinks your character was left behind and Morgan went down alone, that way, y'all can keep going down in pairs of two.
@ChromeHound has failed to post this round. If he fails to post for one more round, he'll be removed from the RP.
@Silverdawn has failed to post this round and last round. He has thus been removed from the RP.
@Aleksandar has failed to post this round. Yo yo, Dr Gaius, you around?
If there are any questions, as always, just ask.
Just a list of acronyms and the like. Will be updated as more appear.
Universal Terms
NAT: No Action Taken this round. For the round that a new player is introduced, this is normal. Failing to act in the story repeatedly will get you warned and eventually removed from the RP. I don't like being that guy though, so please don't force me to do so.
Pinned: Character is pinned. They generally will have to struggle free, or else be knocked out or killed by the target pinning them. Strength is the prevailing trait here, though agility can play a factor.
NPC Terms
Independent: NPC is acting of their own accord.
Under Orders: NPC is doing what a player has told them to do, overriding what they would normally do. (If confronted with multiple orders, they'll generally execute the ones that make the most sense to them at the time, unless they value loyalty over common sense.)
Leader: NPC is the leader of a larger group. (Ex: Militia Sergeant.)
P-NPC: Party NPC. These characters generally have no overriding reason to leave you and will stay with you. Other NPC's may come and go, but these guys are here to stay with you.
Elite: NPC is highly trained and will present a very sincere threat to the group. NPC has flat bonuses against death checks and will instead ordinarily take injuries. Be very wary engaging one unless you have a good defensive position or you can ambush it. Will ordinarily apply only to enemies.
Boss: NPC is absurdly powerful in some way. Only engage if you have no other choice, and expect to see PC's die trying to kill it. Retreat should be your normal strategy against these characters, as they generally won't pursue and will instead send their underlings after you.
