Colonel Kane

No. I am still in Kansas, but living at my mom's, which seems to be near a black hole. I can do something online, but it usually takes forever to do anything. I am in the slow process of trying to get WiFi at her house and also work on the forum adventure.

I am not even going to try to catch up.. it has been too long. Long story short, I have had some major life changes since May. I now live near a communication black hole, so my connectivity is low at best. I am still not sure when I will be back, but I just wanted to say I hope everyone is doing as best as they can.

In short order Recruit Lopez is placed on the shuttle and Ruddick has the shuttle in the air, a few mintues later Ruddick lands the shuttle with guidence from Ibanez. On exiting the shuttle, Ibanez begins looking at the crates of supplies and with help from the rest of the crew, carrying them and getting them organized into a defensable ring using the shuttle and Scout ship as anchor points. Joe, Pita, and Wrench head over to the scout to try to find out what is wrong with it. Pita tries to start up the reactor, it takes a few minutes, due the reactor being shut off for so long, but it startes up just fine. She asks Joe to go to the cockpit and check things up there. Pita does find a few parts that have some wear and tear on the, but most have spares and the few others, that do not have spares, Pita can machine them quite easily. Recruit Jena Lopez wakes up in the middle if the preprations and Miranda does a quick check up on her and deems her fit for duty. Lopez helps out with the moving and organizing of the crates. There are two crates that Ibanez does not use, one is marked rations the other C4. [I figured I would use the C4 as I am unaware of the Traveller equvilant and also figure most every one knows what C4 is and would understand that better than if I tried to find C4s Traveller equivilant.]

well the third key just quit. back to 1 day off. I will try to keep this going as best I can.

Ok. New post is now up. The boss got the third key to agree to stay. However now her father has had a heart attack, so not sure where things are going. So we will still play things by ear.

Ibanez thinks for a few mintues, “Sorry boss. I kind of lost my head there a bit. You are right, we should take the shuttle over to the Scout ship and set up a permiter around them both. Let Joe, Pita and Wrench take a look at the scout and see if it can be salvaged. If it can not, at least there maybe some of the tech or some supplies that we could salvage. Once Recruit Lopez wakes up she can show us where their main base camp and the other camps are, even though she said those had been destroyed, there maybe salavagable supplies there as well. Surily the beast did not ruin everything. I suggest if we are going to do this, we get started right away. while two weeks can be a long time, I suspect it will go by pretty fast.”

Hello all... It has been a day. While I love the sun shining and need the vitamin D3, I do love 'gloomy' days. I love the sound of the rain. ...... it is 'misting' here and kind of gloomy, but not really so much..... Computers lags at just the right time to aggravate me, plus trying to print a 370 page document because I evidently love wasting paper. pauses and I have to run the printer checker, which 1st question always is "Is the Printer on?"..... I have turned it off once in the year or so I have had it. strangely enough it is the same question the wife asks me when she goes to print something..... it is just an aggravating day and I have to go to work later and deal with John Q Public and keep them happy...... sorry, like I said it has been an aggravating day and has put me in 'a mood' not foul, but not good either. I hope everyone else is having the best day they can and I hope it gets better.

OK, well I spoke too soon... Third key has decided to quit, so after next Friday I will be back down to one day off. We will just have to play it by ear and see how things develop.

*Sigh* Too good to last. the key holder that just was out due to medical leave has put her two week notice in. which means we will have to run with just three key holders again. meaning one day off for us. I can not blame her, but she says she might want to come back after a bit.... I doubt we will be able to hold her job open for very long... which will mean she will be moved down both in pay grade and in job title. I mean hells I would love to be 'just a cashier' again, but the pay cut would not be worth it. She and I talked and she says it just not work, but there are a lot of small things that factored into her putting it in. I just want her to make the best decision, she has quit before then came back and she was upset over the pay cut then as well.... Anyways, with the above situation, I have not worked on either of my PbP and have stopped work on my projects, there just seems to be no point in keeping it up. I will work on the PbPs, but World 23 is on hold indefinitely. Oh well such is life right? I hope everyone is having the best day they can and I hope it just gets better.

Hello all I hope you all are having the best day you can have and I hope it just gets better. It is not very cold here, phone says 36 degrees, so we will run with that. I have to go out and walk the fence line. the littlest dog can get out and I need to find out where. He mostly stays inside the fence, but with the way the city has been the last couple of months, I would not trust them to return a lose dog or even hold on to it without putting it down at my expense..... I AM just a bit on the bitter side towards the city. I understand their stance, but does not mean I have to like it or them. Anyways, on to another subject before I get myself worked back up in to a tizzy and want to level the town. I finished reading the Players Hand Book for Castle's and Crusades. It has given me the 'old school' feeling. ... I know I know, I am just rambling. it is not like I am going to get to play it... I am going to read the Castle Keepers Guide next. Then start looking at the Monster's and Treasures book. I also am going to start detailing the 'starting' city. I will have the characters start in a small town, but plan on moving them towards the city. I also have found a document in which someone has made up the races from the Eldar Scroll games into C&C. I like them enough I have been thinking about using them, but I am not sure. Anyways, Hope everyone has the best day they can.

Probably from a home that had to many animals. Code enforcement Officer city code is 4 dogs. We had 5, someone lodged a complaint against my female Bassett being too noisy, so had to get rid on my male Bassett. I am not bitter or anything.... I hope everyone is having the best day they can and I hope it gets better. I have changed my mind on my world 23, I am still going to do it, but I am going to use a few things that, I think will help me a bit. My 'starting' city is changing. I was going to use one I have 'made', but I need to redraw. I am instead going to use one that I have purchased in the past. I will be using the Castle's and Crusaders rule set, because it is closer to 1st edition, that I am use to. Anyways, I feel like I am repeating myself, so I hope you all have the best day you can have.

Moring All, I hope everyone is having the best day they can have and I hope it gets even better. There seems to be a hole in my coffee cup, either that or i am drinking the coffee fast.. surely not. I had to wrangle the dogs to take them to the vet for their rabies shot..... Adult Bassett was ready to go, She knows what the harness is for. The 5 month old Bassett, not so much, plus the Dachshund, who is mostly blind and deaf, was not sure what was going on, but papa was on the floor with all of them. Get them all there and back again. Everyone is doing great, it is nap time for them, plus it is too cold to stay outside for very long. I have had my two cups of coffee and an apple. Still working on my Castles and Crusades game. I may have to start one on Discord somewhere, but everyone wants to do it 'live' and prefer PbP. not many people seem to want to do that anymore. On one hand it makes me happy, but on the other, it makes me sad, because I am left out in the cold, so to speak. MEH, Anywho, best to let everyone get back to their day plus I need to read more and take more notes. Hope your day gets better.

Day 3..... I must be on something or something.... I hope every one is doing the best they can and not feel like a broken record..... I deleted my interest gauge for Castle's & Crusades. I know it has been only 3 days, but meh, I worked on my PF2 Beginner's Box PbP that I am doing on Discord. I really do like PF2, but there is just so much too it that I feel slightly overwhelmed. I am enjoying to Beginner's Box, maybe if I could get a in person group, I might be able to learn it better, but the odds of that are extremely low. Anyways, I hope everyone has a better day than it was before you read this post.

Is that the 'green' one I have been hearing about in all the Mordheim circles? anyways, wow, day two, look at me go. I hope everyone is doing the best they can be doing and it just gets better. Sitting here reading the C&C Players Handbook waiting on the laundry to finish washing and just thought I would check in.

I hope everyone is doing the best they can. I know things are difficult and they could be better and they could be worse. I stayed in bed till almost noon today. Just did not want to get out of bed. Just getting My Player's Handbook for Castles and Crusades finished printed out. Now to finish reading it then to print out the Castle Keepers Guide. I have already found something I want to change for my game. I want to change the Barbarian class to either Nomad or Tribesman class. A very minor change, but just something I think I would like to do. Well I hope your day gets better, even if it has been good already.
