So for those of you who bother reading profile posts, you know likely what the subject of this message of is. If not, go look. This was not a false alarm. This was a thing I was serious about. I was given advice by one of my closest friends that if I don't like doing something, I shouldn't do it. I am going to take his advice. I don't like boredom and I don't like losing friends, so I'm not. I am going to keep being a writer and see how far it takes me. If it truly is my time to drop this hobby, I am sure I will find out soon. For those of you I hurt, I am not saying I am sorry. Because saying sorry solves nothing. So for the past hour I wrote another apology to show my dedication. Most of you should know what this is. Say hello to nostalgia, because I rewrote Desmond's -1 week post we all did back in SoD to show how far I've come. Unfortunately, I am in a car on my way home from a rather bad vacation, so this is the best quality you can get while I am on mobile data.

Since the base defense got delayed I've been working on a solo mission I intended to do prior to the BD, but didn't have the time for before. It concerns how we acquired the insulation suits to operate in subzero temperatures.

The prologue is done, and I will try to finish today or tomorrow.

Gotcha.

Intro focusing on Yakone that leads into a solo mission I worked on today. Enjoy, it gives you a perspective into the consequences of Yak's recent actions (recent in the story at least) and how those events have affected her mental state. You also get to see my revised mission briefing, which is much, MUCH simpler and shorter so I don't procrastinate writing the overviews anymore.

That part with Yakone and Atka was so intense. It was deserved, but I can't help empathize. I've been on the receiving end of lectures like that.

Mission had a good blend of action and lightheadedness. Good why to prepare for the fight for everyone's lives in the base defense.

I saw that Dark, I saw that red vs blue reference in the mission.
Much of that mission unintentionally felt like a reference.
I was listening to Terrify! when Andrews got merced by Stacie. Firebrand and Forty-Seven Niner feel similar, and the moment between her and Niphua was like an inversion of Delta and 479. A cut piece of dialogue between Stacie and Merlux had the latter a "Shinso" for not understanding his reasoning, and when asked what the hell that meant be replied "just something I picked up on the net".

Post that as soon as you get a chance, either the morning/evening you see this (provided my prereq post has gone up) or the day after.
VERY WELL. In that case, expect a non-mission post in about an hour and a half, followed by a mission at some point after. I request that you all enjoy, but I can't force you to do anything.
