OOC:

Hey Pines here the voice behind CORSAIR and Arvantiel.

So we've blown up massively since the early days of the RP scene here and we have so many new blogs, which I am beyond happy to see.

I'd like to leave a gentle reminder though, this is a hobby. This is for all of us to write and have a good time all while engaging with a universe that is a grand ol time.

I have noticed a trend of some bad faith arguments, and hostility. Some folks won't know every ounce of lore, as well as not every character will know lore cause they come from different walks of life.

I will not name names, this is not a callout this a reminder that this is a community built on shared experience and enjoyment a game. People will mess up and people will make mistakes, and that's alright. We learn, we grow and, we teach. Not with force but gentle hands.

I will leave us with a paragraph from the introduction to the core rulebook.

So how did Lancer go last night?

lets show with a mix of home grown and borrowed memes

• Our party Fed pilots a Manticore, but in the least manticore way possible.

• Vermin in the Sherman rolled 4 20's in almost a row.

• Our poor sniper in his poor deaths head lost so much structure

• And I threw rocks, only D/D'd one thing and it had zero structure and was vaporized

And we still have like two more fights to go, lancer combat feels so damn long

Edit: just noticed a spelling error in my meme, time to do a flip off a bridge... or just fix it later

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the comms issue I was having. I can't say I was expecting an NHP to be hiding in the systems. I'll be honest, I don't know much about NHP's or how they work. Anyone you recommend I ask?

Over and out, QUICKFIX

{OOC} Hello! I hope you are doing well and I apologize if this is the wrong place to send this kind of message, but I had a bit of a question? I’ve loved watching you and all the other Lancer blogs develop such a fun and unique space and in all honesty I’ve grown quite envious, so…I was thinking about attempting to join this space myself! Despite that, I have no idea where to start. Would it be ok to ask for a couple pointers and maybe a shove in the right direction? Thank you!

Hope to chat more soon,

-P.XV

(OOC: WELCOME! More voices is always appropriated in this weird community of ours so I'll happily give you some pointers!

My main advice is find something that ties your character to lancer. Who are they are they a pilot? A mechanic? Some pencil pusher? A Mercenary?

What factions in lancer do they enjoy? Which ones do they dislike? Which ones do they work with? (Having a character working for say IPS-N in some ways but hates IPS-N is a fun idea)

If they're a pilot what do they pilot?

Other pointers are just starting reblogging shite from other people, throw your hat in the ring in big ol conversations

The identity of your character might take a bit to form fully but that's pretty normal

Dming people in the community about plotlines is a pretty common occurrence once you're starting to really get into it

What quirks does your character have? Do they not believe HORUS exists? Are they obsessed with how the heads of mechs look?

And don't be scared of having a character with similarities

We had a wave of freelance pilots and DoJ pilots

We've got our wave of flashclones

Just make sure they're something unique

Have fun and Till Legends Bleed P.XV!

When you accidentally take out THE boss in one turn...

People say the Tempest Charge Blade is mid, I kinda have to beg to differ

We troll the DM a little...

Edit: Okay I realized context might be important here.

Player 1 hit's Yennval, and does a fair bit of damage

I jump in using Xiaoli’s Ingenuity forcing her to take 2 damage losing a structure and becoming stunned, I then attack with the tempest charge blade dealing 15 damage and creating a size 1 cover, I burn one of my last uses of Xiaoli’s Ingenuity to damage the cover destroying it dealing 1d6 damage to Yennval forcing a second structure save she rolled poorly and exploded

Edit 2: this was also not a first turn kill, we were in like round 6 of the fight I had been cutting power to the ship and smashing minions up till this point

Hey @msmc-796-official it's the old Trunk security joke that got passed around between pilots. Damn been too long!

what them hands do

+ What the fuck did you just fucking say to me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class at the IPS-Northstar Corporate Campus, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on undisclosed pirate vessels, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in mech-to-mech warfare and I'm the top melee striker in the entire IPS-N armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will structure you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Cradle, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Omninet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Outer Rim and your proxy is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, NHP. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your subaltern. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my pilot gear. Not only am I extensively trained in close quarters combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Interplanetary Postal Service and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the long rim, you little shit. If only you could have known what RA-forsaken retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your synthetic tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Welcome to the Omninet!

Hi to Leila, Euler, Adela and, Diogenes!

I hope you feel at home here and remain in comfort....

//INITIATING SIGNAL //SetRecip.Public //AUDIO BEGINS

Wait, so how do I know when it's on? The red light? Ooooooh, right! Thanks Euler.

Ok! Hello Omninet! I'm Leila Marris-Orion, an NHP researcher with Union Science. I'm currently taking an indefinite leave of absence out to the Dawnline Shore, hoping to learn more about my family history.

I'm joined by my close friends and research buddies, Adela, Euler, and Dio. I'll let them introduce themselves.

Welcome. I am called Euler. I am an [ATHENA]-class NHP, licensed from Smith-Shimano Corpro for use by Miss. Leila Marris-Orion. I have greatly enjoyed my working relationship with Miss. Marris-Orion, and I anticipate further intellectual stimulation from her current foray into historical records. Adela, if you would proceed?

Oh, me? Yes! Yes, alright, my turn! So, hi, I'm Adela. I was the first project that Leila worked on, which I believe makes me... an [ENLIGHTENMENT]-class, no? Leila is a wonderful friend and I'm just so happy that we're getting to travel out and see the galaxy together! I know we're all going to become great friends, so please don't hesitate to reach out and say hi! Ok, umm, I guess it's Dio's turn now? Dio, please be nice...

Hello, hello, hello! I am Diogenes, but you can all call me Dio. I'm a [SISYPHUS]-class NHP, don't worry about it. I work with these other brilliant minds, and I promise that you can trust absolutely any and all links and files I will be sending you the moment our dear Head Researcher is gracious enough to give me unsupervised access to this omninet connection. Swear on my heart, which as an NHP I definitely have!

Absolutely not. Anyway, let's see... Oh, I'm licensed for several SSC mechanized chassis, specifically the Swallowtail and the Deathshead, but I can't actually use them at the moment. Something wrong with the licensing code? Whenever I try to print anything it just makes a- Bone Gecko! We are not calling it a 'Bone Gecko'! But yes, it spits out what looks like an eyeless, skinless lizard. It's honestly pretty unnerving, so if anyone knows about like, printer coding and such... help?

How do I turn it off? Is it this sw- //AUDIO ENDS

[corsair-news-alliance]

I'll see what I can do.... I'll try and get you a temporary fix until I can buy the Requiem before she's just scrapped.... DoJ/HR still picking through her and ripping out her guns..

You'll be safe. I promise. I promise.

Till Legends Bleed.

GREETINGS. UNDERSTOOD. THIS PILOTS ACTIONS ARE A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD. HAVE YOUR CONTACTS LOOK THEM OVER BEFORE COMING TO A DECISION. SIGNED - [MAG-MELL]

Hey do you guys accept Horus pilots trying to dodge Union?

//Windvale\\

We do, although we generally do not hear these pleas on this frequency. I recommend you reach out to the cells we're in contact with, it'll probably land you somewhere better than Sanjak.

In reference to your addendum, Angel:

As far as I'm aware SSC possesses numerous clone-related facilities that, despite what the corporation would prefer, have to abide to a certain level of Union scrutiny. Even the laboratory in which I was held, with it being akin to some labyrinth for drugged rats, was graced by the visit of a legal inspector every now and then. I have heard that recently, Union has made efforts to "put pressure upon greyspace clone matters". In essence, aiming to find clones held in barely-legal situations and assigning them an DoJ/HR representative to help them navigate their circumstances. I understand this is probably the case with Alphabet Soup, although their background differs.

As much as this all reads like a PR move to me, in view of the meager number of clones actually chosen for the program, this is one of the reasons you've probably seen a number of us pop up here on the Omninet recently. Part of this "reintegration" aims to establish their online presence and socialize them. Although they physically have to remain withing corporate jurisdiction, offering them new perspectives through social media is a small step towards personal freedom, in their words.

Again, I was not personally integrated to this program, so I might lack knowledge on the subject, but it is my understanding of things.

//HELLO OMNINET//

My DoJ/HR case worker insists that I need to find a hobby to occupy my time now, so they have set up an omninet account for me. I don’t see the point but maybe this will get them off my back about changing my name.

My name is Z-341-A. I am called Z or Alphabet Soup now. I am a specialized clone created in conjunction with a classified project during what is now called Union’s Second Committee. I currently pilot a GMS Chomolungma frame modified with experimental, proprietary SSC technology.

About eight months ago, Union Thirdcomm representatives uncovered the moon which housed Seccom’s experimental cloning facility as well as thirty one living clones in cryosleep. Union has begun efforts to integrate the clones into the society of various core worlds. So, here I am.

I have little to say beyond this brief profile. My case worker believes that I will find friends or camaraderie in some capacity on here, so feel free to prove them correct. Contrary to popular belief, I do not bite.
