After the Battle: What's Next?

[Hook]

After the Power Station Battle, we would like to do a time-skip through both sides building their bases. We don't think a blow-by-blow roleplay of the construction is going to be all that interesting to the majority of our players. ;-)

However, we do think it would be enjoyable to run interlude scenes that take place during the construction. In this post, we would like people to speak up about any interlude scenes they would like to do.

Some scenes that I would like to do:
- Check in on Shrapnel
- Hook and Needlenose bouncing off each other over design and construction
- A small pod-shaped alien probe gets destroyed and dismantled
- This can be combined with the Needlenose scene, but I'd like to see Hook and the Decepticon engineer-types designing the base
- Astronomy! We must figure out the placement of this planet in the solar system. For reasons. >_>
- Hook, or someone else technically-inclined, needs to find and identify a certain piece of technology in the mining town.
- Hairsplitter needs to pester Hook.

Going character to character:

Long Haul:
* At least one scene with Long Haul, Perceptor, and Wedge trying to figure out base designs and such.
* Long Haul needs to listen to what happened at Crystal City from Omega's perspective. Luna, if you like, we can put this off-scene.
* Maybe another radio chat between 'Haul and Hook.
* Anyone who wants to confront Long Haul over his supposed Decepticoness is free to.

Kup:
* A training scene! Swerve, I want you in on this, particularly! If ever a turbo-revvin' young punk needed straightening, it's you.
* A scene where the more or less leaders work out some sort of IC standard procedure and set of ground rules for this place might be interesting. At this point, I think the options for this scene would be Emirate Xaaron, Kup, Nightbeat, Perceptor, and Jazz
* Story time! Several options for this. Arcee's got a lot of catching up to do. And the others can just listen to Kup tell stories 'cos Kup likes to tell stories.

Fleetwind:
* A game of storm tag! Or just some storm flying. A chance encounter with the 'Bot flies could be interesting, too. It need not necessarily even devolve into combat, depending on how those involved handle it.

Needlenose:
* I'm cool with the scene with Hook.
* A day at the beach! One of me Nebulans needs to catch some rays.
* Speaking of Nebulans, Needlenose and Spinister can see about a hunting trip to find a regular source of suitable foodstuffs for them. And maybe kill them a wild animal.

[Cannonball]

Hardwire trying to get the Autobot frequency!

[Fleetwind]

Ah, yeah. Synapse? You need to tell folks what else you learned about the solar system while orbiting the planet.

Hardwire needs to have a few "sneaking away to make reports" scenes so that Nightbeat can start being suspicious of him.

[Nimbus Tsura]

* Do a painting or two.
* Running into some storm tag flying Decepticons could be fun.
* Catech up with Jazz and/or Bumblebee.

[Fleetwind]

OH!

Over-energizing scene!

Both factions!

Not necessarily at the same time and place or anything. I mean independant of each other.

Straighten me out? Hah. The old guy's welcome to try.


At some point, it'd be interesting to see Swerve's mechanical abilities brought up. Doesn't necessarily have to be during base building, though; it might actually be funnier to wait a longer while before he gets outed. If only for the impact of "Since when does he do more than mouth off and get into fights?"

Either way.

[Synapse]

Heh, going over construction ideas sounds like fun ^^ Wedge can also attempt to explain RiD space-bridges to the bots if that ever comes up.

Ah yes, explaining space exploration. *makes note*

[Long Haul]

Swerve, didn't you mention to Arcee, Synapse, and Wedge so far that you knew a bit about repairing?

I'd look to them to blab on you.

[Dead End]

* Actually make the acquaintance of all these Decepticons that crawled out of the woodwork
* Get homesick and lonely, angst, and go into a depressive funk.
* Figure out who his 'team' is, besides Hook and Starfighter.
* Help with repairs a bit.

[Hook]

Extra thing:
- Hook wants to repair Sky-Byte

[Sky-byte]

Sky-byte would:

Sky-byte wants to run away from Hook.
Figure out what makes these Decepticons tick.
Stockpile his resources somewhere...
Find a large body of water
Kick Starscream, but that doesn't seem to be a viable option ^^

[Starscream]

Starscream wants to do leader-y things. Possibly he's going to recall at some point that people like to usurp the leader and is going to keep an optic on those who might conspire against him. Other than that, and have a hand in the design of the base, not too much.

Bumblebee is probably going to be spending a bit of time in solitude. Perhaps he might do some scouting work, and he could run into a bad guy. Other than that, eh, I'm not fussed.

Oh, sure, I've mentioned it. Didn't do a whole smegging lot but stick my hands under Arcee's hood and I don't think the kids even acknowledged what I said to them.

Now quiet, you're messing up my image!

[Long Haul]

Ah, I appear to have missed something.

We need to figure out why Needlenose can't transform, and fix it (thus returning him to a lower power level).
