Title: OOC: Harrington/Solis Story Arc Ideas and Notes
These are previous messages for a planned arc:
I like this! Renato is not a strong man type, so he would likely have muscle or threat of muscle backing him or on call with a case. Perhaps Yari can dig into Renato's past a bit to make sure he is a good guy? They can meet without properly talking at the festival, but start playing cat and mouse, knowing they are onto each other. That would be a fun way to go about it but not actually meeting until later. Renato runs a Refugee Center with deep connections to Brown Sector and beyond, Yari swoops through to save the day Renato suspects who he is etc... these two could go places.
As a lark, the Exo-Comps would be computer specialists for missions.
Austen
Hummmmm, perhaps at one point Renato gets too close to something that some bad guys are doing and they get ready to assault him or kill him and Yari comes in, in his black garb and cleans up the bad guys. It doesn't have to be the first thing, it can be later, after Renato hears rumors about a black guardian or something.
Sorry, answered the last part in the previous PM.
Joe would like to play the Tech Guy. Perhaps the little machines can create some cool gear for Yari even though Yari can get most things from the black market. Yari is good for the most part but has some bad in him since he is willing to dispense justice on his own. He does believe in law and order, but both of those things have failed down in the Brown Sector so he takes things in his own hands. He's a protector and defender of the helpless.

Oh, yay! Include Eberstark in the authors then, Austen. That will be good.
I like the idea of Harrington being the smuggler, and his ship being fixed by his cargo. =)
I'm all for going back that far.
Susan
The little machines certainly deserve to have their history, makes things more interesting. I was thinking about a way for Renato to meet Yari without him knowing about the vigilante stuff. Perhaps Renato will indulge in the Gratitude Festival and he can run into Yari that way. If you decide that you want Renato to partake in the festival we can add him to the JP that we have on the Festival.

Hey all,
I added Joseph into the conversation as well here, I have the previous messages here to loop you in. Hi!

I've got a backstory brewing for them, summary: They were abandoned after a mining accident. Sneak onto a pilots ship who comes to survey the scene, and they go from there. They are ultimately used by a smuggler of ill repute to no good end, and shut down in protest of being used. He sells them as junk but pulls a memory chip out since one of them has a huge memory storage capacity and highlevel Qunatum data protection. The post timeline is in progress from that point. So they are bought or traded from the guy, Jaren Psykgraf in the other post to Harrington.

So whats next for the Quad of Exo-Comps? How are they getting to SB109 and what will motivate them to leave Harrington's ship?
(M) Those are good questions. They would be traveling in Harrington's ship and I was thinking that maybe those little guys would actually repair some systems that were getting ready to malfunction or already have.
(S) I really like the idea of them maybe feeling an obligation and going through the ship to fix little things they find - or improve - speed up, etc.
(M) Maybe the ship gets attacked and somehow the shields or weapons systems are modified so the ship defends itself against the odds. Maybe there is a dangerous overload or some type of power cascade that will cause the ship to explode and it gets fix unexpectedly as the crew is abandoning ship....
(S) I'm ready for something that isn't death defying. LOL I'm a little stressed with all the things my characters have been through lately.
(M)Tons of ways to go during the ride to SB109. Jason is a good and honest man just trying to make a buck mainly transporting goods and sells items on the side. He won't mistreat them and might even take good care of them if he thinks that they are intelligent, sentient, or had anything to do with the strange repairs. He and the XO had already planned to clean them up and soak them in a nice warm oil bath. So what happens to them can be undetermined. Perhaps they save the life of Jason or the XO when the bad guys come looking for them, who knows with all the possibilities.
(S) Why don't we start them back to base, clean them up, see about finding another core, and have them work on the ship - their personalities can come out more and their relationships. Somewhere along there, if something else comes up, that's okay, too. That will take one post, I'm sure! Then we can have some mayhem somewhere on the base/docking port, whatever. I'm kind of fond of them, and it might be that they stay with Harrington and Mia, at least part time, until something better comes along. let's see how that works out.
(A) That works well enough sure! They've had some other adventures before getting to Jaren, but now since they are with Jason maybe they can be stolen or left behind or something. We can just play with the story as it develops, let it go where it goes. Random repairs in response to kindness sounds like a good start that makes sense. The missing Quantum core is a plot point, Peggy will work fine without it, but wants it back for sure. When Jaren comes looking for it on SB109, Peggy gets it back. Mirau could repair the access hatch he mangled and restore peggy's smooth lines, as well as put a new memory unit on it or cover the power leads at least analogous to first aid. I can start one up.

(Susan) I woke up this morning with an idea in my head for Zombie and Riko McCord. Is any of Zombie's noise decipherable as a word here and there by a human with a translator?
