This RP is gonna wrap up real soon, I don't think we're in any need of new characters. Not that I'm not open to new ideas, they just probably won't be used.
@Exodus, I'm gonna take a short hiatus from this GMing stuff because damn it drains my energy. I have no idea how AJ or Furaotic or HS or any of those big name GMs keep it up for so long. After that? I'll probably write up something new for the TSS universe. I was cooking something up surrounding an artificial planet, fringe science, isolation, solar flares, police corruption, megacorporations, the dangers of sentient AI, cool spaceships, and even crazier laser guns. Fun for the whole family.
@Drop ship situation: The only person capable of flying that ship off the planet is the AI, and it has explicit instructions to have the VIP on board, and doing so is top priority. It's not leaving until the VIP's on board, dead, or the ship explodes.
