Official rules are up and ready to be looked over. As I said, they are on the thread with the alien bios. Let me know if I missed anything. In the meantime, I have to admit I'm a bit winded. I might be out for a few hours, maybe check the thread after a shower and before bed. Gotta save my energy for all the posts tomorrow.

Of course, your hard work is always appreciated, Commander Zombie.

Alright, I have read the rules and I believe that everything is in line, I shall give everyone a teaser of Atka Ipiktok's information in week -1, aka the week before the invasion and her recruitment. (The recruitment part still needs work, but that's fine, as we do have a week to do all of this.)

Preview Fragments:

Jacobs sat by her as the helicopter doors closed and it returned to the air. “Thinking about that again, huh?”

Atka sighed. “Sometimes, I think you scare us David. You’re able to read our thoughts too easily, I don’t suppose you’ve got mind powers huh?”

“If I did I wouldn’t have to open my mouth to communicate with you, now would I? Jacobs replied with a relaxed smile, but then got serious. “Look, what happened wasn’t your fault…”

...

Ipiktok returned a chuckle. “No, I think I’m losing my touch, honestly, just an old man.” He looked at the whale carving peeking out of Atka’s pocket. “Glad to see you still carve with ivory, it means a lot to see our traditions echoed despite you moving to larger horizons.”

...

As Melissa begin to catch Atka up, she closed her eyes, listening but also feeling at peace, calm after the reassurance from Jacobs and the talk with her father, as well as being in her home city and off duty for the time being.

...

…” The aliens made strange noises in their native language, and opened fire, plasma screaming from their pistols and burning through the chests of the soldiers before the broadcaster cut off the footage.

...

Atka shut off the TV, no longer caring what was being said. “We have to do something about this…but what in the world could we possibly do… anirnialuk sapummivaa nunasiuriijaqtuq…”

...

A stern, older voice spoke to her. (Think Jon Bailey, the Council Spokesperson, though this isn’t necessarily him.) “Miss Ipiktok, we have a…proposition for you. Have you seen the news recently?”

“If you’re referring to the aliens, I have…”

...

Will that be all?” Atka asked.

“Mhmm, we have your information on file so we’ll update you once everything is in order. Welcome to XCOM, Miss Ipiktok.”

I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous :p

Haven't RPed since Season 3, might be a bit rusty, but I think I know you guys well enough that you'll overlook a few mistakes here and there. :)

There nothing to be nervous about Frost, I mean hell, most of us been working with each other since season 2. So I'm sure any mistakes that will possibly be made won't be that much of a problem.;)

Question that'll probably get answered when I get back from school, but I'll ask now anyway. (School blocks "games" websites so I can't check during passing period)
---Are we going to be sharing a room or bunking with someone? (And If so how many people?)

You'll all have shared rooms of four to six people. Whether you bunk with eachother or a bunch of nameless NPCs is your choice.

Man it's going to be interesting, to see who scarlet pairs with .And if she pairs with an actual person, I wish that person good luck.

It's very good, but I am a bit skeptical about how it was presented, aka being post-base raid. I'm not too worried about learning more about Lusset, as I know we'll get numerous posts in the actual RP.
I like it it gives a chance to show the story of the events that lead up to that point and time while still showing the character

Alright everyone, sorry about the stupid way I ended up posting my pieces. It's a long story. At any rate, the last one is finished, so if you only checked them once or twice, I've been filling them in little by little as the day has gone on, and they're complete, so please check them again to make sure you saw the whole thing. In the meantime, I'll start reading everyone else's posts.

I've read over the posts, granted a bit quickly since I have a beat of a heat headache from waiting to be picked up for a bit too long, but I got the general idea. (That damn scientists experimenting on 15-year-olds...why...)
