Some of you may notice a change to the post editor at the bottom of the screen. I've added a plugin that allows for markdown in posts. It's awesome and you should totally use it, because it'll make your mobile posting way easier.

I've got my shuttle, a brand spanking new, top-of-the-line, ITC SSV-06, at the ready just outside. That pretty little thing came from my signing bonus to my TXR commission. Most people buy houses, and the like — me, I crave freedom. It was worth eve…
I give Xuan access to our working folder on the ship server, and loop in the rest of the crew. "Change of plans, folks — we're trying something a little different..."
I pause a moment, embarrassed that I hadn't thought to look for a ransom. "I suppose that's possible, yes — I'll have the crew look into it. We found their location, and I've had a force disposition done by the Duchess' people. Frankly, I'd like to …
I clear my throat when I hear Xuan's voice — as comfortable as we've apparently become, I always feel unprepared when I need to start responding.
"My apologies for the interruption, your highness," I answer with as much dignity as I can muster, "th…
It's been a long time since I've sat down and ground through a bunch of data manually like that... I was pleasantly surprised to see my code hadn't rotted across the many system upgrades from my old scout ship to the brand-spanking-new Thousand Bles…
Damn it... I need to think. This is a lot of information to keep straight. I tap Tejas on the shoulder, "Do you have a free terminal? I'd like to remote into my system on the ship and run some analysis of the raw data — I've got some astrometric alg…
I smile back, caught up in her enthusiasm, "drinks can be arranged after the tour." Part of me is curious to check out her profile. See who this woman is... Finding Robynne and Terci takes priority though — every second I waste will make it harder t…
Wow. I... Uh... Hmm. I suppose I do sort of look like xir — if not for the beard. "There's no shame in that. Trashy melodramas are pretty much the only entertainment signal that makes it into the outer reaches — settlers love it, for some reason. I …
I take a moment to regain composure, and process what needs to be done before Shika interjects to lighten the mood. I smirk, and nod — "me too." I sit back up, and return to the moment when she starts asking about Robynne and Terci. I have to proces…
I smile at the thought of Soyinka breaking character for me — and try not to soften my voice, for fear of our medic friend starting up a rumor mill. "Of course, Duchess — and thank you again. I'll be in touch as soon as possible."
OOC: That's what I thought. I'm good with that!
I try not to pay any mind to Shika for the moment, instead giving my full attention to the call. "Thank you, Duchess — I'm in your debt. A proper questioning of the assailant I captured, and an analy…
My knees bounce wildly with nervous energy, and disappointment spreads across my face when Shika fills me in. I bow my head graciously, and hold up a finger when the Duchess' call goes through. I'll admit I'm quite surprised that she took it on the …
Well shit... I should have known better than to run off and play hero. At least I caught the guy — if the police have him then we can subject him to questioning. "Let's do that. Terci was attacked by a man in the park, and may be in critical conditi…
That's troubling... Given the day we're having, I'm afraid going to the Trauma response will only put more distance between us — but since I'm already on the ground, and I really don't know where they were headed, that does seem like the best option…
At first, Terci's discarded bag only registers as unusual — but Robynne's comm being off the network sends a chill down my spine. I jog over to the bag, grab it, and double check Robynne's send code on my comm — just in the odd event Mr. Bézier deci…
I gave them the full rundown as I understand it... That I was discussing plans with Robynne and Terci when this gentleman tagged Terci with some kind of toxin, and fled the scene — I pursued, I caught him, he attacked me, I knocked him out, and here…
I breathe a sigh of relief, the rush of adrenaline burning away, as our assailant falls limp. The cool breeze sends a chill down my spine, and I look around at the crowd formed. "Much appreciated, Mr. Bézier — well done."
I stand up, and prepare t…
This place is messed up. I'm already backing away out of reflex when I hear this Cize dude coming, and Isis telling me to go away — but his words send a chill down my spine, freezing my feet to the floor. I turn to face him, nervous as all heck... "…
Giving someone root access to my comm gives me pause... It's one of those things everyone cautions you against when you buy your first comm. I suppose if I get wiped in the process, TXR will have a record of this conversation and fire his ass...
Ya…
I struggle to keep the would-be assassin pinned, and talk at the same time. "Sorry to bother you off hours, Mr. Bézier, but I've got someone here who's decided to try and take Miss Voxalter's life. He's got Void Waster tech that can do personality d…
I wish Mr. Bezier was here... I'm sure he'd have some highly technical proxy solution up his sleeve that would put an end to this here and now. I wish I knew how quickly security could get here, so I could gamble with it... But right now I just have…
