The Last Outpost

Task Force Sierra is under siege!

The Romulan First Legion, under the command of Walter Pierce (AKA, The Inquisitor) is currently just toying with the small coalition fleet.

The Romulan's superior numbers are proving to be a nightmare for  Task Force Sierra too, as one Romulan ship withdraws, two more come in, fresh and ready to engage. The crews are tired, ships are worn, and they're just praying for the end...

Oh no, so much damage :(

Let's consider for a second how outnumbered we are.

I estimate the First Legion possesses a fleet size of probably around 100 ships.

We are (or were) 17. 10 to 1 - they're toying with us :P

Now, I don't think the full unit is together - but, with even 30 some - we're likely doomed :P (And honestly, I mentioned with every one, 2 more are ready to take it's place - so I suppose we may be outnumbered 3 to 1...)

Anyway - yes. most of you know, people are gonna die, ships are gonna go boom, and tbh - this could be the end for all of us :) - but let's make it one to remember!

I'm a very good driver and pilot thank you very much :P

so klaw are you saying just take one of our ships and ram into one of the enemy ships

I'm saying this: We have a weapon at our disposal, that we don't know we have (Think back to recent events - could be this week, could be weeks ago).

This weapon, while it may not give us total control of the situation, it could give us some leverage...

additionally. Let us not forget the events of Nimbus III... though, let's hope that I don't have to do that roll yet, as it'll make things harder down the road...

also also - Maybe - but only if Stringtheorist flies it...:P

but I am the one who flies the nova though, and yeah we picked up some allies from nimbus III

Well how lucky that I will be there! Dibs on the helm!

Updated:

Working on logistics for this episode this week.

Tanglepaw, would you mind looking above - I have you down for an and/or dual character - want to know your thoughts on that, and if you're up for it :) (Wanna give your characters as much screen time as I can :) )

Ramsey, Still have you set as unconfirmed, you were checking Scheduling

Scott - need to double check, but I think this week you're also out, on LoA


The rest of us: This story is a direct continuation of last week - We're right in the fray that almost immediately ensued when last week ended. I imagine we've been in combat for the last 3 or 4 hours now, we're tired, hungry, and frankly - maybe to some degree praying for death.

I'm going to pick characters at random - and some physical scarring may make themselves known in this tale. As you can see - every ship is taking damage, we're vastly outnumbered - and in short.... I imagine that from here, till the end of the Season, we're going to be in a sort of "Year of hell" (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Year_of_Hell_(episode)) type phase. Nobody is gonna be 'pretty boy' clean shaven or what have ya. Times are hard.

So yes There is also a chance that this week's episode will be split a bit - between Nova, and the Romulan Hunter ship, under the command of Walter Pierce. (Working on logistics for that - and a map too - so be on the lookout).

Anyway. Think that's all I have right now, hope to see you all this week :) It's going to continue along the path Daedalus has been on for a while - we're coming to a MASSIVE reveal, and a huge turning point in these next 3 episodes - so stay with us :) (Or come check us out - The story is complex, but easy enough to dive into from any point - and I'm always open for questions :D ).

This is tomorrow! :)

It's NOT done, but it'll work well enough to provide a nice backdrop for a small part of this week, and a bit more of next.

Also Also - https://last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,9188.0.html

I had some special roles here - if you folks who were there would like to reprise (If you weren't feel free to swap to a generic Alien (not Romulan). I'll help further explain the Romulan Hunters this week, and we'll experience a bit more of their life next week :)

This episode is going to be huge, and I know we can handle it :). Let's have fun!

Confirming here as well, I will be there. I have spoken to Klaw and I am making sure to miss nothing.

I think ill drop in tonight aswell  ;)
