So...Not Dead Yet. Not Dead Period.

So six months.

Doesn't seem that long and yet...yeah that number caught me off-guard. I've let this group and you, my friends, moulder with my absence. But life still lingers, and for that, I have a handful of you to thank for. It would have been easy for you, more than easy, to wander off and leave the shell of what was to where it lies.

But you didn't.

You let kept the life support on, and don't think I didn't notice some of you rolling the corpse around to make sure it didn't get sores. So now, through the power of necromancy, we see life breathed back into the body of the damned. ...Wait does that make Ingram a Litch now? Not sure if that's an improvement or not.

So pretty words aside, what does that mean in practical terms?

We have a plot suffering from story creep: what should have been a fun meeting with the Carcosians has turned into a mad dash run for the hills with the promise of the Concordance fleet heading our way. We're making plans to leave Carpathia and seek out a new world in Messier 4 to call home, a safe haven where we can secure our footing on a world of our choosing and not the Sjet Class nightmare desert planet we have here.

We have the plan to make fake station decoy, have the Portia nano tech turn Canopus station into a bastard starship, and the good old Reka nibbling at our heels. And just writing that has drawn breath from my creative lungs. Between 'heels. And' that little space lasted about 30-odd minutes.

So where do we go from here. Do we keep going with the plot we have, or do we skip to the next part of the story? I've heard pros and cons for both: a clean slate VS a loss of continuity. Well screw it, we're gonna keep the thread going and just roll it out. Expect posts to start flying soonest.

Your GM, and unworthy friend.

Andrew
