To be fair, I also glossed over the fact that the marine in question was standing around going 'Duuuuuuuh' 'cause Nathan had just blasted him with a psy attack. When Prius went head to head with a fully cognizant CSM, he got reduced to one quarter of a commissar.

Gork and Mork! Great names! Wish I'd thought of them myself.

I was actually about to go with Bill and Ted, believe it or not.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-16 07:53pm

You're hopeless. Worse with names than me. That's sad.

And I see that somebody has recently read Hard Contact.

That I am, and that I have.

Actually, his full designation is Niner-Seven-Niner.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-16 08:00pm

Yup, and I've got to run to town for a bit, then I'll get back and commence to game.

Are you sure you want to name characters after foul Xenos deities? Gork and Mork are names of the two Ork gods. People might wonder at their reliability.

*snickers*

Not what I was thinking, not at all, no sir.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2004-12-16 10:06pm

Aha, but I've thought up a reason. These dudes actual names are WraaaaArGh and RaaaaRgHh, but they were nicknamed Gork and Mork by a group of Orks because they laid a near-divine smackdown on them. The names stuck.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-16 10:19pm

Now I'm glad I didn't suggest Bog and Snog...

(That's probably the names of their mates.)

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:23am

Nice wrap-up for Hethor's story.

I'm a little logjammed on mine... it got sidetracked mentally from what I had originally envisioned, and I'm still composing my way around it.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:27am

If you need to change something, the edit button is your friend.

Hethor will still show up in Memoria, he just won't be the star. Poor Anjun Chou is next.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:30am

Cool.

Nah, it's not editing so much as I was originally envisioning a more straightforward scenario when my subconscious started screaming "This needs a twist! This needs a twist!"

To which my conscious mind replied "Okay, what do you suggest?"

To which my subconscious said "My work here is done. By the way, you really shouldn't abuse your conscience so."

To which my conscious mind said "That reminds me, have you see that feeble little prick today? It's time for his daily beating."

After which my subconscious sighed and signed off.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:33am

I should clarify. The edit button is your friend if you need to change something early on to be compatible with your plot twist.

I like your mutiny/possession/mind control thing.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:35am

I may have to hold off until later before I continue it. Usually I do my best plot work as I'm trying to get to sleep.

So what's on the agenda for tonight? I'm figuring Typh will eventually show up to continue the conversation with Prius, and basically we have time to do some downtime scenes with the entourages and so on.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:37am

Don't have any particular agenda, although it might be fun to pick on Pcm's xenos.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:39am

Works for me. Bastard has it coming for picking on my sophistry over in OSF.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:41am

I noticed. And for the record, I agree that Jason Bourne would kick Jack Bower's ass. I mean, what chance does he have against a guy who can take out Clive Owen?

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:46am

And John McClane would pwn them both, though Bourne would of course kick the ever living crap out of him.

Back a few years ago some friends of mine were doing vs. scenarios, and we indentified four invincible characters... McClane was one, and Michael Garibaldi was another. I can't remember the other two, and I can't even remember the rationale for Garibaldi's invincibility, unfortunately.

Though I do know his scenario was Garibaldi vs. Tyr Anasazi, with Tyr going on the dodge in that classic 'Survival comes first' Nietzchean routine, and Garibaldi manages to track him down...

Because he's Michael Freaking Garibaldi.

Maybe it's just his resemblance to Bruce Willis, I dunno.

Anyway, let the evil commence. We could also have some downtime encounters with the trader crew. I'll ask NL when he gets here in the morning what the status of tech sales with the local mechanicus is...

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:50am

Garibaldi loses the fight, but he comes through with revenge at the end. Unfortunately for him, Tyr from Season 1 & 2 is smart enough to make sure he is dead.

God damn did Andromeda commit the most brutal kind of Hari Kari by gutting its writting staff.

I'll see if I can whip something up.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2004-12-17 12:53am

Yes yes, I conceed that Jack Bauer would be pwned by other super-secret agents.

Eh... Are you sure that 'picking on' 7 foot tall masses of muscle is the best idea?

Especially when one of them's toting an authentic Space Marine-sized bolter with grenade launcher attachment?

And the other has a Power Hammer?

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:54am

Could be as simple as a bar scene, or a meeting in one of the chapels... whatever floats your boat.

Tyr and Romy were the only characters that showed any sort of growth or depth in the series. I had such hopes, but I gave up about three episodes into season three.

Even the multitudinous charms of Lexa Doig couldn't keep me interested, unfortunately.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:56am

Lexa is smoking hot.

Michael Shanks is one lucky dude.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:56am

We're not picking on them, per se. We're just going to introduce them to Xerxes the Chaotic Judge.

I'm sure they'll end up being the best of friends.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-17 12:58am

My darling Lexa is not involved, most especially not with anybody named Michael Shanks, or as the various pictures in this scrapbook dub him, Dead Man Walking.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-17 12:59am

Got something. One for each of my friends who's names beginning with P. I'll be writting for the next couple of minutes.
