Hey everyone. Decided to stop by to see how you all were doing. Haven't had much time to mess around on the computer but maybe i can find myself back into things here.
I had a great time at my summer job and am having a lot of trouble adjusting to "real" life. I am now a full time college student at a school I can't stand. I work full time in a job I can't stand even more. My family is nuts and damn does love suck or what?
Anyway I'll try to stop by as often as I can and try to get back into the swing of things. How everyone else holding up?

Hey Strife. I'm glad you had a good summer, but I'm sorry that life is rough for you right now. Is there anything I can do for you -- like put together a summary of what has been going in IC over the past few months?
I've noticed that everyone (myself included) on this forum seems to have issues with dealing with the opposite sex. xD You are not alone Strife.

Summaries are made by thread clusters and go back to mid-May. I have made the attempt to write these in as chronological an order as possible. Other members are welcome to make corrections or additions.
One Rainy Night -- Will and Taita write letters and send gifts back and forth while he is temporarily stationed on the Voyager and she works as head staffer in the Base Camp mess hall.
A Lakeside Dinner
The Unified Triumvirate -- The three governments -- GRA, SA, and the Altradeuin Empire -- agree to temporarily unite into a triumvirate government in the interest of collective survival of the human race.
A Sad, Mad, and Dangerous State of Affairs -- Will returns planet-side and has lunch with Taita at the main mess hall of Base Camp. They talk. Richard Hanson puts in an appearance and makes threats. Will asks Taita if she wants to take a picnic up to Trepian Lake sometime and Taita accepts.
Reassignment -- Commodore Caravan temporarily attaches Blue and Gray Eagle Squadrons (and by correlation, Will) to the Altradeuin military.
Republic Alpha --
Depth Run
Kumali Has'tik, 3rd Descent -- Gray Eagle Squadron and Altradeuin Storm Trooper Unit 3 carry out a joint mission, the destruction of a military base camp on the another planet.
RSS Voyager
Dial Command
Scout Mission
Olympia
The Truth of a Dream -- The day that Will and Taita had planned to take a picnic on Trepian Lake, Taita informs Will that they cannot see each other anymore but offers no explanation. Will, devastated, wanders up to the lake alone and spends the night in the woods.
Exploring the Dark
Mathoni's tent
Skipping Rocks -- This thread is set after The Truth of a Dream. Will is skipping rocks on the lake and moping. He meets Jerome Griffin and they talk.
Mediation This thread is set after Skipping Rocks. Will meets Jiro, and when Jiro learns of Will's problems, he devises a dramatic scheme to try to fix them. Will manages to dissuade him however.
Forbie's Tent
Back for Meds and Repairs -- Drake finds Indy, a survivor of the shuttle crash, lost near the Ruins. He brings her back to Base Camp and helps her search for her family. The memorial wall's records indicate that her family is confirmed alive but she herself is missing and presumed dead. However, central administration records list Indiana's family as missing as well.
Waferien Space, 8th Proclamation -- This thread is a conversation between two Wafrien beings during the war with the Enforcers.
Spacial Assault
Incoming
No Rest for the Weary -- Theo Kodiak and Kirna Torrenson have a chance meeting and discussion.
The Cost of Battle -- Elenath recovers from injuries sustained in battle. Her loyal Striker team keeps vigil at her bedside and her love, John Tahu, visits her at well. Theo Kodiak is her attending physician.
The Dark Star
A Twisted Sense of a Respect
A Walk to Remember
Striker's Tent
Confrontation
Confrontation, Act II -- Theo Kodiak reprimands Entarmor for his actions in Confrontation. He threatens that heads will roll, Entarmor's among them, if he ever hears of Entarmor involved in such an incident again.
Repair Shop
Intervention
Stand in the Rain -- Will and Taita are reunited. The truth comes out as to why Taita broke off all contact without explanation: Their old nemesis, Richard Hanson, has threatened to kill Will if Taita does not end their relationship.
This summary is currently a work in progress.

Crazy! Keep it up, sorry haven't been online lately, two jobs and just spending every waking moment doing so is kinda shredding me away, though I am back and more devoted.
The Keeper Files (Still In Progress) are being typed up, which includes weapons, armour, military stats, ships, intelligence, Agriculture, Industrial, and so on. I'm at 28 pages and still not done. Wooh!

I, as one of the more junior members, would very much appreciate a highly detailed history section on those Keeper Files, Drew. I can't wait to read the finished work.
I know how you guys feel. I too am busy... I'll try to finish the summary sometime this week, although I may not get to it until the weekend.

Hmm, so Strife's surfaced too... yeah, time is always against us.
I have enough trouble with one job... admitedly, it involves hotels - which are one great big suck-hole of time to their staff.
But that's a neat little summary... as for Drew's history, I also wish to see what he ends up recording (especially RE: Coronis and the Galactic Corps)

Hey all, I know I haven't logged in in weeks and I'm sure that everything has slowed down with all of us sounding so busy. I've been keeping really busy with work. I'm on the lighting crew for the Christmas concert with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and the lighting designer is going crazy. Its going to be a huge light show as well, we're putting in hundreds of extra lights and hanging and focussing all those lights in the world's largest theater can take a lot of time, especially since we're a little short handed, so I've been authorized unlimited overtime, and I've been taking some advantage of it, makes me pretty tired, but the paychecks sure are nice :-) Also been doing a lot of social things, hanging out with friends, going on dates, going to dances and such. Nothing like finding a new bunch of girls who like you to get over a broken heart in a hurry :-) And just for you Drew, the weekend before Halloween I went to several Halloween parties and dances and decided to be fearless, ended up with a lot of new female phone numbers ;-)

The funny thing is Matt, that I went through my phone book recently and wanted to call you to check in with how everything is going.
I'm proud you are getting out there and being fearless. You are a great guy and if a girl can't see that, she isn't worth your time.
Keeper Files are moving along whenever I can. So far here is what I got...
Military Read Out for Alltradeuin Empire Complete Military Read Out for Galactic Republic In Progress Military Read Out for Socialist Alliance In Progress Universal Tragedies In Progress Galactic History In Progress (I have 3 years to pour over before the Reaver Incident, haha) Neutral Worlds including Atlantis II Treaties Completed
Don't know what else we will need, so suggestions please of what you want me to put into this book. For people who want copies, I have no problem in printing out books, call it the "Keeper Omnibus" and ship it out to whoever would want it. Would actually be fun. Now if ONLY my CGI guy would pull through with those ship designs and I could put in pictures and other wicked stuff and make it ridiculously official. Money would be needed....

Good to know you're alive and well Keeper. I was beginning to wonder where our admin had disappeared off to. Dittos on "getting out and being fearless."
I can help with writing the post-Reaver history, if you want Drew.
And I do want a copy, but I prefer not to hand out contact information over the Internet -- privacy reasons, you understand. But if you could send me the file... I know some good file transfer services that my dad uses to send drawings and specifications (he's an electrical engineer) to people via the internet.
By the way, I'm alive too. xD

I have no problems in just sending the data over the internet.
Anyone knows any good CGI people who will do pictures for fun, send em over to me! My guy is being a total douche bag. Haha

Thanks Drew. I appreciate it very much! I regret to say that I don't know any CGI specialists though. I do, however, have one contact that might. I shall check with him on Monday if I can.
I think I'm going to scuttle off and calculate some molarities now.
Oh, and has anyone noticed that some stores are playing Christmas music now? -shudders- That means December is approaching. And December means mid-terms. And mid-terms mean death. x.x
EDIT: I imagine Taita, Helen, and Strife are (or will be) in the same position as I am?

Sort of, but not quite. I am in a system where I have classes for 4 weeks, and then 2 exams, then 4 weeks class, then 2 exams etc etc. This makes that I have an exam this Tuesday and Friday, of which the one for Friday is kind of huge -- they love what my psychology teacher calls the "Bible", an insanely large book with 900 pages in a3 paper format with font size 0 or something close to it. I am supposed to know half of this book by heart on Friday -- mind you, just reading one chapter of this book takes about 2 - 2,5 hours. I have to learn 9 chapters. You do the math.
After this week I'll have 4 weeks of class again, and then my final exam will be the 21st of December.
......
I can't wait for Christmas holidays. XD
