To all  I suggest that Blades be the only one that places a Time Stamp on their post. Reason  keeps the story line time consistent and flowing. Follow my lead [rp] 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport S.S Vulture Gallion muttered to himself as he and York gathered those that were able to move on their own to the aft part of deck two. He had answered Blades inquiries honestly for the most part. Only evading what Caine may or may not already know. Murphy was not the only one that could cloud reality with the harshness of ambiguity. ...do I get paid on the onset, or after completion of the mission?... The later of Caines questions  that he had purposely not answered  continued its incessant query over and over again. Not my problem...Savage can deal with that matter, he thought as he and York reached the Infirmary. Slowly the walking wounded were moving to the gathering place designated by Blades. Blooming lunatic that Blades ... and they think I be crazed. Now where did Rattler go off to? Give me a hand with this lad York, Gallion said as he neared the gurney where Caine lay. Come on Mr. Caine, Gallion said to the groggy merc. Be glad that ye doesnt have ye peashooter with ye on this bucket Mr. Caine, he said as they assisted the groggy merc to his feet and moved out of the infirmary to the aft section of deck two. This crate will not last much longer, Gallion continued, which seemed to answer the question on Caines face. The trio continued their journey meandering through the wreckage in the passageways, occasionally stepping over body parts that were not policed up after the furious battle. Besides, Gallion said as they neared one of the few operational turbo lifts, your peashooter is not as far away as ye may fear. Gallion saw a faint spark in Caines eyes light up. Time to quench that puppy Just a tad bit inaccessible fer the moment. The spark in Caines eyes dwindled some and a sadistic grin appeared on Gallions mug. He-he-he, not to worry lad, the turbo lift doors opened and the trio entered. ...do I get paid on the onset, or after completion of the mission?... To answer ye second query ... remember  not all that is Gold is a glitter, not all those who wonder are lost. The former Corsair said as the turbo lift doors closed. If looks could kill, who would be left standing? Caine? Gallion? or Gallions mother hen? 19th May, 3008 GCV Graf Spee Torn between two lovers. What was Rico to do? He had one set of orders with two conflicting dilemmas. 1. Maintain contact with the transport ship the departs Pixan without being detecting 2. Assist this transport when required; with drawl; resume procedure one. What was not covered in his orders was what to do with the UCV Leo. The Spee could very well destroy or disable the Nightstar class carrier with a few well-placed CTAS shots. But this was not Ricos or the Graf Spees modis operandi. His quarry, the Vulture was underway, yet he was still with the Leo. Totally ruining his day and plans. Rico thought about it enough. Time to take a chance and tempt the fates. Open a channel with the Leo, he said, voice only. Channel open sir! Leo, this is the Graf Spee, Rico began, we seem to be after the same objective. One that I cannot allow you to attain Rico paused, more to collect his thoughts and formulate a plan than for dramatics, ...for the moment this is. There for I have proposal for your consideration. One that I feel will be mutually beneficial to us both. Rico outlined his plan. A simple one in reality but the way Murphy was working this past 24 hours, it was one that could easily be laid to waste in a nano-second. Under Ricos plan the Leo would maintain at least 250k km distance from their quarry. Which is on the fringe of both the Leos and their quarrys sensor range. If the Leo agreed, then the Graf Spee would release the Leo from its current predicament  the Nightstar class carrier would no longer be a target of the Graf Spee. You have three minutes to decide Leo, Rico said at the end of his proposal, choose wisely, Graf Spee out! What Rico did not say was the most important decision he's had to make to this date. For if the Leo failed to agree to his proposal then he would be forced to disable or destroy the vessel. If they did agree then he and the Graf Spee would cloak and continue with their mission  shadow the Vulture. The tick-tock of the chronograph became louder in Ricos mind as each one succeeded its predecessor. Rico could feel the palms of his hands begin to clam as the tension within him slowly grew with each successive tick-tock... ...tick-tock... ...tick-tock... ...tick-tock... ...tick-tock... [/rp] Missed your two question post Caine sorry This is the only way I could think of to get both ships out of hot water yet still remain in the story Murphy is a nasty companion and one should never leave things to either him or chance TTFN [This message has been edited by Gallion (edited 04-07-2001).]

Ship to Ship boarding was canned when the SC stopped the BC:TE (?) dev process before BCM went beta last year. Do a forum search and you will find his post stating such. What you see in the bcmver file is what you get. There are several WIP yet to be implemented. As with all software devs these days, when gold day draw nearer - some things get dropped. Only time will tell what makes it in the final bcm gold copy and what gets dropped. I'll take a stable and relatively bug free product over a feature laden buggy product any day.

Warning and pay attention folks [rp] 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport S.S. Vulture Command Deck This is another fine mess youÔÇÖve gotten yeself into Gallion. What will you do for the encore? The bridge and engineering were a mess on the good space ship Vulture. All of the Gammulan intruders were dead as was most of the Merc contingent; most of these that remained alive were relegated to within the confines of the VultureÔÇÖs MedBay. A merc vessel offered aid and spare parts ÔÇô at inflated prices ÔÇô for reasons unknown to Gallion. Rattler was handling the negotiations with the merc not to far from him on the bridge. The haggling was heated at times and was not going well for Rattler; at least that is what Gallion thought. This is getting us nowhere fast, Gallion thought as he motioned to Reynolds and York to come to him. When they were within earshot of him, Gallion quickly outlined his plan. YorkÔÇÖs grin said it all where as ReynoldsÔÇÖ look of doubt and distrust said more. ÔÇ£work with me on this Reynolds,ÔÇØ Gallion said to the doubting Reynolds, ÔÇ£my lot is the same as yours, we have to get control of the situation before it blows up in our face. Murphy has a way of doing this ÔÇô in case ye has not recognized this fact yet.ÔÇØ Reynolds listened to GallionÔÇÖs explanation and looked at York, who nodded his head in agreement at Reynolds. Reynolds thought about it a moment longer before replying, ÔÇ£Aye, Sir, ÔÇØ and carrying out his portion of GallionÔÇÖs orders; round up able bodies and secure to the ship. The merc noticed this and looked towards Gallion, York and the departing Reynolds with mild concern before resuming negotiations with Rattler. Gallion and York moved towards the haggling duo as they haggled over the price of a deflector array ÔÇô the mercs current asling price for the DA was at 800k Galcreds, down from 850k. As Rattler paused to consider this price, Gallion chimed in, ÔÇ£I can settle this affair very quickly.ÔÇØ York moved his BMP-9 towards the merc and quickly released the safety, which made a very load and audible click. ÔÇØMr. ... Caine was it not?ÔÇØ Gallion said to the merc and continued without waiting for a response, "we seem to be at an impasse. To wit: you have the supply we have the demand. Excellent income potential for ye and yours. However, we do not have the luxury for the traditional approach so we will do this my way. You will be compensated your purchase price plus ten ÔÇô no make it twenty-five percent ÔÇô for each item that we purchase from you. Hopefully you have a decent ledger system available for if you cannot backup your purchase price, the base market price will be used. In the case of the deflector array currently under going negotiations, we will pay 450k plus 25% if you cannot provide proof of your purchase price.ÔÇØ ...for once I wish I could see those eyes, Gallion thought as he took a quick looked at Rattler before resuming his Corsair style negotiation tactics with the merc, ...I hate mercs, ÔÇ£You will also be compensated reasonable labor rates while your other personnel are assisting this vessel and crew through our current crisis. Which brings up another sticking point that I am sure that you will not voluntarily agree to. You, the four SE, two medics, and the CMO are now part of this ship and its crew. Consider yourselves Shanghaied and Welcome to Our Nightmare!ÔÇØ Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Rattle twitch, just a tad, damn, again I'd like to see his bloomin' eyes, and York lowered the muzzle his BMP-9 assault rifle, just a tad bit more towards the merc, ÔÇ£Any Questions?ÔÇØ 19th May, 3008 GCV Graf Spee ÔÇ£Range to target,ÔÇØ Rico asked. ÔÇ£15km and closingÔÇØ ÔÇ£Boarding parties ready and standing by at the transporter,ÔÇØ Resprick reported. ÔÇ£Communications Link established, cloaking field integrity 100%,ÔÇØ came the other reports. ÔÇ£UCV Leo,ÔÇØ Rico began speaking to the current target of the GCV Graf Spee, ÔÇ£lower you shields and prepare to be boarded. Resistance is futile, [pun intended] you have 15 seconds to comply.ÔÇØ Rico terminated the communications link transmission and waited for the target's reply. With any luck, things would not get violent. ÔÇ£Boarding Teams aware of the ROE Resprick?ÔÇØ Rico asked of his combat officer. ÔÇ£Aye! Sir!ÔÇØ Resprick replied, ÔÇ£fully aware of the ROE sir!ÔÇØ ÔÇ£Good,ÔÇØ Rico replied. ÔÇ£Missiles Locked and ready,ÔÇØ tactical reported, ÔÇ£target designated FATAL for eight Vagrants with remaining twelve in the queue.ÔÇØ Now we wait, thought Rico from his command chair perch on the Graf Spee, ten seconds to go... ...nine... ...eight... [/rp] Caine ÔÇô failure to comply will result in UCV Leo DeD Process. Resistance will be bloody. The choice is yours Choose wisely Any questions can be answered by Blades.
