Because at the rate the OOC confuzzlement is going, it needs it.

Frankly, I'm just covering up to -that- point and not beyond, hence why I'm -trying- to cram Masha's arrival at the scene and Sophie's discovery of the body from the dropship between Hella (Bunny's HF char, but you don't know that. ) giving chase and Whisper trying to port away. I'm not sure what everyone else is doing about it, though, BUT!

Whether the corpse is getting ported away is entirely up to Brit and Brit alone, IMO, though I don't know if Korny's discussed this with him beforehand.

((Whisper grabbed a 'stray limb' before porting away))
I just don't get at which point Soaps body turned into a mess and a few arms. I realise he was going through something pretty dag-nasty, but I dont think we got to the explosion point, is all... 'Grabbing a stray limb' I would guess means 'whichever arm is nearest', although I guess I should wait for Korny to reply to that first.

/confused

ok to try to clear things up ..

1. yes i did speak to Big in PMs ..in fact he started it to stop Whisper having any chance of shooting Soapbox first ..

2. Whisper on the roof and by Soaps body is dressed as a Longbow ..he looks nothing like he did inside the Hall ..

3. the bit of the body he got was ruled by Big ..an arm .. the rest is still there ..

4. he used a personal teleport ..i made no mention of a mediport ..

5. the pace at which things happened was set by Big , Bunny and I followed .. Given the speed others moved and deployed inside the hall , that was packed full of people the pace was not that fast ...Soap and Bunny's Toon are only a few yards from the hall exit

i hope that clears up an confusion ..if not PM Big

Thanks for clearing that up. I've edited my post accordingly. Too bad, actually. I really enjoyed writing the satellite break-in. <_< Ah well. Standing by for answer.

Sorry I didn't get to post earlier but I had to dissapear to work.

Anyway the confusion over the mortal remains of Soap Box. It's true he isn't actually in a single piece, and no I didn't actually write he exploded. instead I wrote...

Quote:
and by the way his flesh started to bulge and redden it was obvious what was about to happen...
Basically he was hit by a concentrated microwave burst which cooked him from inside out. Think the movie Gremlins and what happens to the one shoved into the microwave oven. Anyway I figured people would of realised he exploded, my bad. Although Bunny and Rock Powerfist's follow on posts do actually support that notion. Stray limb is mentioned...

Quote:
grabbing a stray limb belonging to the fallen Humanity First speaker
Although I do remember a typo at one point ("stay limb" I think).

As for the microwave burst the airship sensors might of picked it up and been able to identify what it was. Also the corpse still has residual energy which can be used for readings. As for the point of origin a few people present would be able to figure out the original attack vector giving them a rough idea of where the assassin was.

Also im thinking there is still action to be had inside the hall. You know Chimera, a Shivan, mad scientist assistants toting guns that spew acid, apparently dead heroes etc.

Woot! My luck has turned, double 6's baby! In your face die-face 1 with your stinking shoe-hurl. LOL.

Assuming you mean Crash and Splitter, they're Stiletto, not Longsword. :P

Um, not to be a detail picker, but how did Julia escape the detention field?

Nope. Went for the wielder, not the weapon.

Well, since Tech's already acted on it, assume it was something like a panicked miss or something? I dunno. *headwall*

Sigh...aiight, don't worry about it. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and bow out here. I can't seem to make a meaningful contribution to the thread anyhow. Maybe I'm just the guy making it too many people. Y'know what they say about cooks an' all, heh. Good huntin'.

So Chimera's about half its health and the scientists seem to be withdrawing. What are the aparent and actual casualties? Brit got KO'd but appears to be uninjured, Vix (Julia?) shot Masha but she hasn't suffered any fatal wounds, are there any wounded or dead civilians or scientists? Is Soapbox the only casualty then? Just need to get some facts straight.

Aww, Dev its a minor misunderstanding, overlooked detail. There's been lots of that so far, don't feel neglected, stick around.

There should still be one or two more opportunities, to be of help, Devious. Masha's still got one more thing he could assist with.

Vix and Julia are separate chars. Julia shot Masha and Vix rushed to help Masha.

Well a part from those mentioned by Pious you got a lot of PPD trampled during the initial panic, by the same token a number of civilians would of received the same treatment. Also there is bound to be others suffering splash damage from the acid cannon Mechano's goons brought, as well as others with minor injuries due to flying debris. (Giant Killer did blast a wall to create another escape route).

Unfortunately Chimera never managed to get her hands on any Humanity First activists so no dismembered corpses in the hall.

Hmm next time...bring more firepower.

Didn't expect Chimera to be swamped from off the bat...now I know how ingame Archvillains feel.

It would have been unlikely that Chimera would have even made a dent with all those heroes there even with Giant Killers help. Expect 3 or 4...but it seemed like 10 or so heroes turned up.

Scientists aren't stupid...they can see the odds stacked against them so they're making their withdrawl with Chimera still in one piece.

Thanks for the encouragement, but this was just a small part of the problem. The main issue is that I just can't keep up with this posting pace. I write my character starting some interaction with a conflict, and by the time I'm able to make my next post, there are a bunch by two or so people describing how their characters already solved the issue while my character was sitting there dumbly like a piece of scenery and doing nothing useful.

I know that's not the intent of those people. They just wanna get on with the story. But it still makes me feel useless and unwanted. Every time I try and contribute something to the plot, someone else who can post faster than me grabs it up and leaves me sitting there without even bothering to talk to me. The best I can expect is a passing mention in which my character is regarded like he's completely inconsequential.

So yeah, that's the crux of it. This deal with misreading the detention field and then being unable to change it since the story's already moved on to a point where it's too late was just a result of my inability to keep up with the quick posting - and since I don't see myself having the time to post faster anywhere in the near future, I'd rather just stick to the slower-paced threads than keep getting frustrated by this one.
