That's actually probably the way to do it. Just might be the big enough shock to his system to get him to revaluate his desperate need to follow orders.

Don't forget your flesh cape! You left it in the arms of the Neti! You've got Martaine to terrify!

Niiiiiiiiice! Maybe we could skin a bantha and drape the whole dang AT-ST!! Background story that might come up around a campfire scene, if they live that long: Just a brief on Gunner Natu Taug and Driver Tean Jarvins- I'm making them brothers, and fresh out of the acadamy, but with different last names because they come from a planet with a matriarchal society where when they marry the men take the women's last name. (they married young). they are otherwise average, competent, troopers. Commander Wagner Martaine is middle aged, well educated and pompous but a wuss/dandy and never accumulated much combat experience while running an SD's motor pool. Like the guy that runs a supply closet at work: Maintenance, supplies, logistics, keeping things clean, those are his forte. He jumped at the opportunity to take the Scout Walker (SW-14) after a deserter b/c Pzob was seen as a backwater where nothing happens so no one objected to him going out himself despite his lack of combat sorties in an AT-ST- that's why he has had trouble with the PA comm, and shit aiming with a blaster. Or at least that's what they told me when I bought them drinks at the cantina last night... :) (Twist!)
Martaine is semi prejudice against droids b/c of the assassin droid that made an attempt on Emperor Nic's life. As members of the First Order they are not acquainted with the NOE's background, structure or lore. Their respect for Tyna comes from her status as special forces agent, her rank (lieutenant), her level of attainment despite being a teenager, and the fact that just about everything Tyna works on is classified. Think how army grunts get boners when they meet a green beret or a navy seal in a bar. (And not to minimize, they give every American a boner. Special forces are the secret ingredient in Viagra).
Feel free to draw on this if you NPC them.
Thanks for the heads up on the posts!

Will do.
I was thinking about having them come to a rest stop next. That way the group can all be properly introduced and Starkiller can share more of what he knows about the next area.

Aw, you big softy. Yeah, feel the same way. It's nice to write with someone willing to bounce around ideas and really focus on writing some neat shit. This is my favorite storyline at the moment.

I love our story line so far. I spent most of this morning re-reading it. There are a couple things I'd change about my posts, including having Tyna realize that they were making camp in a crater, and have her suit's geiger counter go off from the radiation. I the fact that we both are excited... is a good sign of things to come. Like I said, I have to try hard hold back and be subtle, and go for the slow build towards things. Like Tyna finally accepting being a saint. and her back pain. So excited for her back pain. Speaking of awesome story lines, what happened with Wart on Contruum? I shat a brick when Draggy killed lil'kaan. Are you going to continue that story?
Also, If you had a moment, I was wondering if you could read the temple posts I created for Bacca. I feel like havok is straining things with bacca, but not too far? Does it seem plausible? Does it seem true enough to Bacca's character, in your opinion? Would you have any feedback on those posts?

I think you captured his stubborn unwillingness to accept defeat fairly well. Even if it is over something small like a wager, the Lord of War is gunna be the Lord of War.
I felt a little bad killing Lil'Kaan but it seemed a good time to illustrate that even though Draggy has shown some fondness for his frolicking little fornication buddies, they are all still expendable if he wants or needs something badly enough. I also wanted to insinuate that if it had been Wart who went with Dragus instead of Lil'Kaan, perhaps he would have done the same to her.
Honestly Drags gets wrapped up in a lot of cartoon silliness that every now and then I have to get him to do something really detestable like that to reinforce that he's an irredeemable evil snake.
Hopefully I get a chance to finish. Nartaga got a new job that he had to do some extensive training for and his hours changed, so I'm not sure when he'll be back. He gave Xeonon and I permission to move his characters around and we worked something out where Draggy and Zed were gunna confront each other, but then Xeo went awol as well, so I just gotta wait.
I know Xeo expressed that he was having some writers block, so maybe that's why. It's also the summer so I hope he's at least enjoying the weather, if not these damn wasps. I'm kinda paranoid about reminding people about a stalled storyline, because I find when people are struggling to write something and get that extra pressure, it makes it even harder. Usually I don't say anything and just try to be patient, keeping my fingers crossed for a post.

Thank you for the feedback!
Yes. killing Lil'kaan had that effect. Well done!
I totally get it. My job ended and I've been out of work for the past two weeks, which is why I have been able to write so much. Once I get another job, I'll probably be back to posting once a week or every other week. So I am trying to crank some stuff out before that point. Yeah. Writer's block its a B. That's a good way to approach it. I always appreciated your patience.
Sometimes I get writer's block when it feels like I don't understand my character well enough to continue. And when the post is something that is character defining, or a major moment, its paralyzing because the indecision is real. That's the worst. Ian, and the Gamorrean posts, and Spook getting hit, and Ives and the escape pod were all things I did to walk away from thinking about Tyna- they weren't supposed to be as impactful, they were there to allow me to continue telling the story without writing from Tyna's or Eli's point of view because I didn't know what Tyna or Eli or Havok would do next. Ian was just supposed to be the one that got eaten by the terentatek and fulfilling Tyna's vision about seeing someone getting eaten by the Terentatek. It was going to be a valuable lesson as a seer that having a vision is one thing, but having the correct interpretation of the vision is a whole 'nother ball game.

You can probably guess who the footprints belong to given the previous characters to walk through the area, lol.

Question, would Tyna get any force reading from the medallion? Like it was forged by force sensitive techniques or people, or anything like that?
Hmmmm. I am guessing a troop of traveling clowns with a wagon, pulled by a small velociraptor? XD
Also appearance wise, I've been sort of picturing Starkiller as looking like a silver ultrasmurf from warhammer with spikes and chains, but with russel crowe's helmet from the gladiator and the robot's head from terminator. Is that right? wrong?
Tyna's base outfit is basically what Iden Versio wears in Battlefront 2, except a black recon helmet.

Naw, just a hunk of electrum. Ulric used his lightsaber to weld an electrum medal of rank on Starkiller's chassis when he got promoted from Major to Commodore, so that's what was going through my head when I came up with the medallion. But I mean if you want to attribute something extra to it, by all means. I just never really thought about it, lol. Well he's a Sith Elite Warbot this time around so he pretty much fits the standard wookieepedia image for that. The main difference is I wanted to keep his face looking like the terminator since he's always pretty much looked like that, so I gave him the faceplate that slides up and down. I added the extra spikes and chains to make him a bit more brutal looking, and the cape of human flesh because...well that's just how I do things.

Thanks for the Image! The one on wookiepedia isn't very inspiring!
edit: I remember what I was going to say: Sir Starkiller was what Tyna felt like saying, its not a suggestion or command to change the name.

Yeah, I got that. He was just mulling it over, seeing if it sounded right. The fact that he is still Commodore Starkiller at this point is a bit of a running gag because a lot of people just assume that's his name. I wouldn't want to change it up at this point. I'd only accept the promotion to Admiral Starkiller and only if Seleevan Kar got promoted from Admiral to whatevers next. Grand Admiral? That feels like a step down from Vor God. Either way, SKs naval career was directly connected to Seleevan's.

Good. Sel? That crazy gargoyle! Honestly he should've just named himself Navarch. He was always big on bringing Greek names and stuff anyway, with the Peloponnesus and his Vor hoplites.

Eww, gross. Tyna's a mutant, lol. Making me curious what the heck is growing out of Tyna's back. No hints though, I'll be happy for the surprise.
Tried to add a bit of humour there with the NPCS.
Um, that'll be it from me I think until Monday. I usually don't work my Sundays, but I finally have a partner on my line so I'll probably make an exception this weekend for his sake so he's not working alone.
