Video: Forward dates to July 30

[dino_zarf]

Well, it's official. "Someday" and "An emergency" are here. We need the zippy little battle craft and we need them now. This is basically all hands on deck for anyone I've flight trained.

[With one notable exception]

And if I haven't flight trained you, these still need a crew to work the weapons, so keep listening.

We have two kinds of shuttle. Harpy have some missile capabilities but are mostly for getting up close and personal with everyone who now wants to kill us. Need at least three people to keep them working. Wyvern are for sneaking around and dropping a nasty surprise from a distance. We need at least four people working those.

So speak up if you want on crew. And if I've flight trained you but you aren't sure about actually being the main pilot on one of these, tell me now. We could still use people working the guns who can step in if anything happens.

Gavvers, Newtie, I have a different job for you two.


((OOC: I've created a Google Doc for keeping track of who's flying with who. Let me know if you want me to just arbitrarily stick your character in any crew that needs them))

[Wash, you will be killed if either Gavroche or Tritonelle are injured. Eponine has killed a man before, and she will do it again.]

I can pilot one of the Wyvern crafts, no problem. Anyone with experience or a knack for quick learning wanna help run the thing can meet with me at the shuttle bay.

[voice]

[dino_zarf]

Hopefully we can suss out a couple crews for these.

[birdarang]

I can pilot anything you need me to. Need something done in specific?

voice

[dino_zarf]

You prefer stealth or meeting them up close?

[thecag]

When and where? If the job of getting in and out is trickier, send me that way.

[dino_zarf]

Got a preference between close range and stealth?

hello
I'm not here to offer my services as a pilot or gunner although I have had a little flight/space training since coming here
but I would like to speak to you all the same

[dino_zarf]

What do you need?

[letsjustgogo]

Sign me up for up close and personal, boss.

[Why yes, Gogo does sound excited.]

[dino_zarf]

Darting around in a Harpy it is.

My earlier offer stands.

This is an emergency. This means everyone.

[mikangirl]

[Nami's just been watching the posts go back and forth on this thing without saying much at all; she's too new for most of this stuff. Just soaking it all in.

But hey, this is a request she can answer directly.]

I'll help out. Wherever you need me.

[She's a very quick study, but even so she's only been learning how to fly for what, six weeks? So manning a gun is probably better.]

[dino_zarf]

Good. Do you feel comfortable flying? Because if you don't, we've got a powerful need for crews.

[ Blake hasn't really be all that vocal since the jump, and in fact has missed more than his fair share of days down in the shuttle bay, but all hands on deck means all hands on deck. ]

Count me in for whatever you need, boss.

At this point pilot and gunner are both pretty direly needed.

[kutte]

You think you got enough people?

private.

[dino_zarf]

We could use more people to work the weapons.

voice.

[altercate]

I can't pilot. But I can work the guns.

voice.

[dino_zarf]

Right now we need that just as much as pilots. Fancy flying is all well and good but we need the weapons to actually push them back.

Voice.

[theroadwarrior]

I'll be in a shuttle. I've been around the shuttle bay enough to work the weaponry.

Voice.

[dino_zarf]

Good. Right now we're a bit short on people to do that.

[private - voice]

[ryuuzaki]

I'll have to bow out. I'd be able to fly people out of here under less hairy circumstances, but I don't have the experience or ability to take a small craft into combat.

However, we'll be at the helm in Communications for as long as we can manage it, and to my knowledge, Bail Organa is interested in putting his own combat flight experience to use. He'll be there soon.

[private - voice]

[dino_zarf]

Anyone I can get working guns is a welcome.

You hold down the fort where you are. I'm going to have the kids tracking shuttle positions.

[ """Jack""" has only been volunteering about a jump cycle and half, but he's a quick learner. Also not big on public comms use, apparently. ]

I can pilot or man the guns, wherever you need an extra body.

[dino_zarf]

At this point, we probably need gunners the most. A couple of the most experienced pilots are still short on crews.

[He recognizes the man, and he knows he has flight training. But they're tight on crew.]
