Eclipse Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 One of the biggest things that have quieted down was the RP forum. That used to be the big one a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Devin Long Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Sorry I posted in the wrong spot before, i've been kind of "out of my head" for the past week! First of all im sorry for not being on, I lost my main connection, but that is easy to fix, I'll have it back up in the next week, or before, but the one thing I didn't expect what the anxiety part of the instance!! its my first day back to work today, and to tell you the truth, im scared shitless, I mean I actually only had like four hours of sleep and woak up very early, and I cant get my head out of the fact that a mother f****** stuck a f****** gun to my head. I cant get it out of my dreams or thought, all I can think about is the "what if" factor, what if I took that gun, I could of saved my manager from being beating up from him, but also, what if after my manager opened the safe, would he just shoot us there. I know it sounds kinda bad for a guy, but i've been crying my eyes out the last couple days, just knowing that I'm alive, im here, you know?! There is so much that I have wanted to do before, and i want to do it all at once now, just cause I have to go back today, and I am very scared, I don't know what will happen, I really don't want to die, and that point that happened to me made me realize that life is very f****** precious, dont take it for granted, because one day who knows, someone who wants something really bad might just be trigger happy. But like I said, I need one week, i'll get all my connections back up, and I'm ready for Mp...... and I have to get back on there, believe me, I'll be a lot better now, cause any f***** that f***** with me will die really quickly even if it means sacraficing myself to it, thats all thats in my mind now... and Thank you everyone for showing your dedication and not to sound gay but (love) to me!

Ben Zwycky Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 You're in my prayers, Devin, stay strong and we can arrange to meet up on TS if you need to vent or just mess around. I look forward to MP'ing with you at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruis.In Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 deven, someone once explained to me, that just as the physical body can be cut and healed. The mind works in the same way. Your mind or your pysche as someone put it has received a serious injury, and it is working to heal itself from the trauma, just as recovering from serious physical ailment is never easy, neither is this, it takes time, and you have to let it sort itself out, and be strong also and not let it consume you. Your dreams are a manifestation of your minds injury. I suggest to you that you get a note pad and write down all your thoughts when you feel this despair, it'll flow it'll come out and not be bottled up, just as you wrote in your message. I was undercover before one time and I fired one shot and killed a robber who attempted to rob me. Had I not been an undercover officer, I would have been just another robbery victim traumatized. You should also seek professional help. Believe me, all the crap and foolish talk surrounding pscyologists isn't true, all the crap talk you see about them on t.v. When you go to one you will see for yourself. Hope you feel better... try to be strong, even if you don't succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Schultz Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (A bass voiceover announces "This...is GNN". The "GNN Headline News" desk appears with an anchorman seated behind it.) Anchorman: Welcome back to "GNN Headline News", I'm Charles Walbert. We are now into the third day of what is being called one of the most mysterious disappearances in GALCOM history. By the evening of 7/25, there were no postings on the GALCOM HQ "3000AD UBB" message system. While comm lulls have occurred in the past, EarthCom engineers felt something wasn't right and left a message with HQ engineers to run diagnostics. In the meantime, they began their own remote diagnostic procedures. They started these at 2300 hours. By 2312 the remote diagnostics had determined that the "3000AD UBB" message system in HQ was functioning normally. They tried once again to contact HQ engineering, but again their calls went unanswered and were directed into the messaging service. At 2330 another routine inquiry to HQ engineering went unanswered. At that time EarthCom engineers discovered that not just HQ engineering, but all hailing attempts of GALCOM HQ were being ignored. Now suspecting a general comm system failure, they tried backup comms but these attempts also failed. At 2358 attempts to communicate with the various battlecruisers and other vessels docked at GALCOM HQ also met with failure. It was becoming clear that they were dealing with no ordinary system failure or unannounced maintenance work. At 0030 hours an engineering team with a Marine escort transported aboard GALCOM HQ to try to reestablish contact in person. And what they found was shocking! GALCOM HQ along with all vessels in port seemed to have been completely abandoned! We are now taking you live to GALCOM HQ where our field correspondent, Condoleezza Chung, has been covering this disappearance since last evening. (Cut to what looks like a cafeteria.) Condi Chung: Thank you, Charles. I'm standing in the main mess hall for the crew now and as you can see, everything looks like it was abandoned in haste. Meals and drinks are sitting cold and uneaten on their tables. The only people around in fact are a few engineers from Earth and Marines that came aboard to secure the station and search for the crew or possible intruders. Efforts to interview the senior Engineer, Dirk Martin, from EarthCom leading up the technical investigation proved fruitless. (Cue footage of an attempted interview.) Chung: Chief Engineer Martin! Have you found any logs or evidence in the station computer as to what may have happened? Chief Engineer Dirk Martin: My men are still examining the systems. When a report is ready we'll let you know. Chung: Do you know when we can expect that update? Martin: The report will be ready when it's ready and right now it ain't ready. Pvt. Rhode, would you please? ... Pvt. Rhode: I'm sorry but you'll have to move on. This area is closed. Move along! Chung (voiceover): Of course we're eagerly anticipating when that report is ready. I was however able catch up with the Marine's team leader, Sgt. Simmons., just before they were due to be relieved by another Marine search party. (Cue footage of the interview.) Sgt. Omar Simmons: Mmmmm.... donuts. Care for one? Chung: Thank you; I haven't eaten since I came aboard six hours ago, but... Simmons: Well, pull up a chair and dig in! My men and I have been searching this for the past twelve hours; we're actually due to stand down and be relieved in a few minutes. I'm sure they won't mind a little bit of female company. Chung: What I was about to say was that I'm working right now and can't join you. Simmons: Doh! Chung: If you have a moment, I'd like to ask how the search is going. Simmons: Wait a minute, are you live right now? Chung: Yes... Simmons: Woohoo! I'm on vid-comm! Chung: About the search... ? Simmons: Oh, that! Well, the good news of course is that we have encountered no hostiles or evidence of hostile activity in GALCOM HQ, so my men are starting to relax just a bit. We've also just begun searches of the docked vessels about a half hour ago. Chung: Any signs of the crew? Simmons: Not yet. We haven't given up hope yet; the search is still ongoing. The engineers are doing all they can to... (Cut back to GNN news desk.) Walbert: I'm sorry Condi, but we have some breaking news in this story. Just minutes ago, a Marine team searching one of the docked vessels encountered an officer asleep in the ship's rec facility. We take you now live to Jorge Lucius aboard the GCV Adm. Jay DiMasters. Jorge, we're fortunate to have you with us today. As our star war correspondent I would have thought you would be posted somewhere like Wraith station. (Cut to GCV Adm. Jay DiMasters transporter room.) Jorge Lucius: Well, normally I would be but I've been vacationing back home at my ranch. I was supposed to head out to the front but was told to cover this for the moment. Walbert (voice): I hope that doesn't mean the war has come home to Earth. Lucius: Fortunately there's no sign of that yet. Walbert (voice): That's good news. What can you tell us, Jorge? Lucius: I'm standing here in the transporter room with what appears to be the sole person left aboard GALCOM HQ or any of the docked vessels. EarthCom obviously wants to debrief him, but the Marine escort has graciously allowed me to speak with him while they finalize transport coordinates with the surface. Sir, could you state your name please for our viewers? Paul Resnig: Paul Resnig, Combat Officer of the Adm. Jay DiMasters. Lucius: Paul, we are so glad to find somebody on board. Tell me, did you know that you seem to be the only person left on GALCOM HQ? Resnig: Well, no, no I didn't. Things did seem to get quiet around here, though. Lucius: Do you know what happened to everyone? Resnig: No, I was asleep! Why do I always get blamed when everything goes wrong? It's bad enough that my commander does, and now the press?! I didn't have anything to do with this! Lucius: Uh, sir, I wasn't implying... Resnig: Look, all I'm saying is that I'm a highly trained professional: I'm a GALCOM officer! Just because I was the last person to use something, like the transporter, doesn't mean that I broke it! Lucius: Is the transporter broken? Unnamed Marine at the transporter controls: I'm sorry, sir, but we've just locked in the transport coordinates. You'll have to end your interview. Resnig: Well, yeah, it sure didn't beam my Marines on HQ back here, did it? Lucius: Wait a minute, sir, Resnig here says the transporter is broken! Should you be using it? Marine (controls): No Mr. Lucius, all parameters are in the green and good to go... Resnig: Yeah well make sure... Marine (controls): ... Please stand clear of the transport chamber. Prepare for transport! Resnig: ...because they were in the green too after I reprogrammed it to do distributed team retrieval. Unnamed Marine on the pad next to Resnig: Wait, you reprogrammed it? I thought only system engineers could do that! Resnig: Are you calling me stupid, Private? Are you saying I don't know how to operate a simple transporter?! Lucius: I have a bad feeling about this... Marine (controls): Engage transport! (Blank screen) (Cut back to GNN news desk.) Walbert: Jorge, are you there? Jorge? Hmm. We seem to be experiencing technical difficulties. Let's go back to Condi for now. Condi? Condi, back to you. Condi? Huh, how odd. Wait! This just in from our correspondent in EarthCom HQ, Resnig and his Marine escort failed to materialize in their transporter room just as contact with the EarthCom teams at GALCOM HQ was cut off. Unfortunately, we have to go to a commercial break now. We'll check in on EarthCom's progress in reestablishing contact with GALCOM HQ when we return. . . . Things sure have gotten slow around here... Drat it, had the wrong name from a prior draft of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
