[LeaT]

Maybe he kind of liked 3 of them.

 

[Colonel_Liam]

Or I'm an idiot, and it's been a long time time. But mostly I'm an idiot.

 

[MsBloom]

Maybe he kind of liked 3 of them.

That is of course an option.

Or he could buy a football helmet, whatever's easiest.

 

[MsBloom]

There we have it. I hope we are ready.

Approximately how long after the meeting are the rules and roster sent to the members of the colony?

 

[LeaT]

I was thinking during, since it is electronic.

I didn't get much feedback so I assumed we wanted to continue moving the story, hopefully it is not premature. I don't see anything wrong with continuing earlier stories but with the drop off in posts I kind of assumed everyone was bored with that. I know some just got really busy so I'm open to postponing if we still want to tie up loose ends. Maybe with more people online today we can have some discussion.

I was thinking during, since it is electronic.

I meant after the first meeting where Dr Smith dropped the bomb of the necessity for such a drastic measure to ensure the long time survival of their colony. It was said at the end of that meeting that the adults were to be given time to think it through and talk to their kids and then there would be another meeting.

 

[LeaT]

Let's say a couple of days in game time?

 

[MsBloom]

Three days, four?

 

[LeaT]

That's fine.

Should I start using days and dates maybe?

 

[LeaT]

The Netflix series says it is 2046 which seems reasonablish, if we said they crashed on June 10th, first meeting the 17th, second meeting and rules/list introduced the 21st.

However, I get the impression most are looking to write scenes in this context more so than try to craft an overarching story of their whole experience. But I can't always read the group.

 

[MsBloom]

Should I start using days and dates maybe?

Good idea. And time of day as well when needing too be specific.

 

[LeaT]

I added a timeline to the top of this thread.

Timeline:
Resolute Launched: March 15, 2046
Resolute Destroyed: June 10, 2046
Surviving Colonists First Meeting: June 17, 2046
Breeding Program Started: June 21st 2046

We should be wrapping up preliminary talks and exams in the IC and Jupiter level (communal) threads over the next few days and getting caught up with the timeline. All are welcome to start or continue scenes from any time period in your 'cabins' clinics or what have you.

Any questions, let me know.

 

[MsBloom]

Sounds good.

Just one small thought.

Breeding Program Started: June 21st 2046

The way I interpret that is that the meeting at which the rules and roster was decided took place on June 20 2046 and that the breeding program officially started the day after.

 

[LeaT]

Fair enough, I tweaked the IC meeting to the 20th.

 

[MsBloom]

Great.

 

[small package]

A bit of me wants Allen to walk in on Kat & Faith just so Faith can tell him how sex they'll be having to tease her sister a bit more. Although I have no idea where that goes beyond that one gag, so maybe not a great idea.

 

[MsBloom]

Sometime a one-line gag can add a bit of flavour but it might put a strain on the sisterly relationship between Kat and Faith.

 

[small package]

I agree, just one of those random thoughts that fell into "It'd be funny but..."

 

[MsBloom]

I know. I have a lot of those myself, just ask Lea, she's seen a fair amount of them by now.

 

[LeaT]

I love the idea of you two redheads teaming up on some lucky bastard, but I don't know that you'll get any volunteers for such a dangerous mission.
