First Job(s?)

[Captain Malcolm Reynolds]

Ok about Serenity & Steamhardt's first jobs!

I'm assuming Fox(when she's made) will be providing the job/s. Question is do we want it together or have Fox give them each different jobs? And what will said job/s be? A heist of some kind I'm guessing but what would it be? All ideas are welcome. Passengers stay behind unless otherwise needed-like Owen-and probably wouldn't know too much about what's going on. Unless someone gets shot and they see the commotion.

Honestly I volunteer my Owen to get shot!

We'd also have to figure out everybody's parts in things. River is still good at reading so maybe she'd have a part? Also after this/these job/s, Haven will officially be part of the Steamhardt crew. Maybe if we get more new members they can join the ships there in some sense. That can all be hashed out as well.

So discuss my lovelies!

[river]

River is all up for a part in anything, she enjoys the job even if she doesn't do much haha except read people lol

[Dave Cassidy]

Simon will just patch up anyone (Owen ) who gets shot, and Dave isn't too fussed

[Arabella Hart]

lol I guess I need Azza's opinion on the job/s going to be given? I was thinking maybe everyone robs a client that my soon-to-be finished Sophia is serving & she turns a blind eye? Eventually she'll end up on a ship but I think a third one once these two are filled....I already have two characters on each

A heist sounds best. In terms of setting, it's easy, quick and fun. In terms of roleplay it gives more chance for banter. Fox will be finished in a day or two maximum, so we can have a funky little thread between her and the "pack leaders": badger style, whilst the others are off in the marketplace or what not. Maybe the job is the same place but two different things, so they're both being hired as they can work together without ripped each other off.

Say, one is getting the loot, whilst the other is making a distraction. Or one crew worries about getting the goods whilst the others are the "guns" of the job.

As for the other ship, I call baggsie on RPing a purple belly "floating city" xD

[Toni Star]

If there's any rogue people or characters that love their money may I also throw in for a future idea that there's a reward out for Toni's return home and such.

[Haven Tam]

well that could work out really well Azza. be funny to see John & Mal argue out who's gonna do what XD I think once threadage on Serenity gets going more, we can start thread on Persephone. debating on just ending the ones on whatever planet to help things along. hopefully Joe will at least post in the Serenity thread where Haven says she's laeving

& I'm sending a pm to you Bubbles

[fox]

Here's an idea for what I was thinking would be a grand first job.
Obviously these details would all be discused in character by Fox with the others, so consider this all OOC information.

Employer: Fox
Location: Persephone
Reward: 5000 platinum (2000 credits)
Pay: 1000 platinum now, 4000 on delivery.
Target: Alliance Shipment
Job Risk: Medium - Approx 20 Alliance Feds stationed at outpost.
Long Term Risk: Medium - Feds will launch a full investigation.

A remote Alliance outpost is about to have a shipment delivered to be held for the night until an Alliance ship comes to recieve it. Fox wants that shipment. The crew will not know until they inspect the cargo: just how dangerous the job actually is; the cargo in question will be Alliance Weapons.

The details are up to both Captains, but Fox will advise that one crew locates and loads the cargo into one truck, whilst the other crew provides protection. Then once loaded, the truck will head toward the Rendezvous point whilst the other crew steal whatever kind of vehicles they can get their hands on to provide security escort on the way. Enroute the Alliance may try to stop the convoy.

Once the convoy reaches the entrance to the Valley that leads to the rendevous point, a few of Fox's men will cause a rockslide with explosives to halt the Alliance Pursuit. At the Rendezvous point will be Fox and minions to collect the weapons and pay, as well as both ships.

It is recommended that as much of both ship's crew help with the initial raid, whils the others at the ship are on standby, just incase. Any other characters, can slot in if they wish. For example, Sophia could perhaps be servicing the outpost commander just before the raid?

[Haven Tam]

ok i still like Azza's above plan. Jude's going to meet with everyone, we'll say Fox is at a different meeting or something, but will state it's her doing the hiring. we can start this soonish. hoping we get a new captain for the Steamhardt soon; or someone to step in until Azza knows if he is coming back or not.

[Haven Tam]

I'm looking to start this around the 13th or 20th. ideas?

[Sebastian Gates]

Hi! So yeah, I stepped in as the captain of Steamhardt, but I see now that I've kind of changed things up. I wanted to make Bastian a noob in the art of being Captain of ship, delusional into thinking that he can run a clean ship and survive on honest work alone. This could be his first heist since getting his crew together, and he wouldn't be all that thrilled about it. He knows the ends and outs well enough, having spent his whole life being a thief. He'd rather be the shooter than the snatcher, though. He'd like to keep his hands as clean as possible. I was hoping maybe that Steamhardt could be the yin to the Serenity yang, so to speak. xD But I'm game for starting up whenever.

Btw, if Azza returns then I wouldn't mind making my own ship, if that's okay with the admin. I don't want to be stepping on any previously established toes by snatching up the captain's gig. I applied knowing full and well that I might not be able to keep the position, so please don't be the slight bit stressed or torn if ya need to ask me to step aside. ^^ I am prepared! Lol.

[Haven Tam]

that's fine. i don't think many people care very much if the captain's plot shifts & how the steamhardt came about shifts as well. i'd like to figure out at least haven getting on the ship. i'm assuming because dave is a friend of malcolm that's why it happened.

& if azza returns then we shall see how things go :] right now i wouldn't worry too much!

[Haven Tam]

ok so was thinking that the captains & first mates are the ones who grab the cargo while everyone else work as the gun hands. there will be two separate threads for that. there will probably be some firefighting in one & maybe someone tries to stop the group surrounding the guns. so confrontation there. anyone who doesn't mind their character being injured will be listed below. just post who you want injured & how severely. they'd mostly be minor grazes or hits from fist fights but maybe one got actually shot in the arm or something. that's when they look at the cargo. other then that I don't have much for ideas

team one(grabs goods)
Sebastian
Dave
Malcolm

team two(guards)
Owen
Emilie
Jayne
Simon
Zoe

injured
Sebastian-shot
Malcolm-bullet graze
owen-superficial knife wound

[Sebastian Gates]

I volunteer Bastian to get shot in the arm or leg. He would be all like "Just keep going!" and tough it out until the end. I figure it would be a chance to earn some respect from Mal? Other than that, sounds like a plan to me.

[Haven Tam]

ohhh that could definitely work. then Haven could fix him & really show her skills. she may even yell at her dad she doesn't need help XD
