OOC [OOC] Goban Discussion

[Wes]

The Goban is the 5th Odori medium freighter assigned to the Third Expedtionary Fleet, which recently received a fleet of 10 Odoris as part of its restructuring to Type 29 Fleet guidelines. Commanded by veteran logistics officer Ozaki Kyosuke, its first mission involves the delivery of a handwritten message to NovaCorp Shipyards out near Kohana. The mission is an odd one, as the message is sealed within a Zesuaium box and comes with two Custodian guards. The other cargo is general foodstuffs to a small outpost in the northern area of the system. The mission reeks of something very wrong, but orders are orders.

PRESENTATION OF THE GOBAN PLOTSHIP

A Odori-class Medium Freighter built by Ketsurui Fleet Yards in YE 29
Part of the 3rd Expeditionary Fleet, 1st Logistical Group.

The Goban is a utility plotship dashing back and forth across the galaxy; JP (chat RP) are about non-existent right now due to the GM working evenings, so SPs (board RP) are on the rest of the time.

Any player new to the Goban would do well to pay special attention to the Military Code of the Star Army of Yamatai, though the commander does not always follow it to the letter. Also please review the Interacting with MEGAMI OoC note in the Sakura-class gunship description so you can be a little more autonomous about using the ship's computer.

YSS Goban Group (Required for all players in the Goban plot)

The Goban's Motto</center>

<a name="History"></a>HISTORY

The Goban, as its name suggests, is the fifth ship in the Third Expeditionary Fleet's new logistics group. The Goban also has the honor of being the fifth Odori-class ever constructed.

Its first assignment involved delivering a message (in the form of a Custodian android) to NovaCorp's main facility in the Kohana Cloud. Of course, the mission didn't go quite as planned -- after being blasted around by a Bellystabber II, the ship pulled out the W and staggered to the cloud.

The mission went further down hill when they made a rather odd discovery -- the message they'd been told to deliver was more or less an assassination order for two NH-X Nekos, which must've been hiding in the NovaCorp base. They found them, eventually. Sort of. The male one, who'd been masquerading as a NC employee stole the commander's identity and ... well ... stole the Goban.

NEVER FEAR! After stealing a shuttle and making it back to Yamatai, Shimada-Chusa took pity on them and issued a new ship, an old, formerly private Ketsueki, the Adauchi. In their new vessel, the crew dashed off to get their real ship back ...

<a name="Quarters"></a>Crew Quarters Assignments

Commander's Suite:

Found around the middle of Deck 2, the Odori standard crew quarters are bigger and slightly less spartan than those on the Sakura-class gunship, but still do not provide much in the way of creature comforts. At six-by-six meters, they resemble college dorm rooms without desks (these fold out from the back wall to run parallel to the beds). There are 11 rooms; five on each side of a hallway near back of the ship. The commander's is seven-by-seven meters and located at the end of the hallway.

Twin-size beds fold down parallel from the side walls, with the left-side bed normally folded up (the commander's still has two fold out beds, but one is a double-size, and it has a cushy chair for the desk). The linens are made of a refined hemp; spares are kept the small closets next to the door of each room. To make up for the lack of flash, the linens have each ship's symbol and name in Japanese stitched in red into the blood-red comforters. The fabric used for the symbols is silk. Also to save on space, toilets and sinks fold out of the wall just beyond the foot of the bed, with bunched silk curtains placed in the ceiling around it. The curtains drop down when the sink and toilet are in use.

Shamelessly ported from Fred's YSS Sakura book. Brilliant work as always, Fred.

Thought it would be a good idea to start this thread.

Anyway, I think I'm fairly open for the next week, except I will be gone for the entirety of tomarrow(Sunday).

 

[Doshii Jun]

Oh shit. I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks dude.

 

[raz]

For future reference: I work from 3:30-9:30 PM Pacific Time every Saturday. Every other day of the week should be good for me, unless I get called to fill in for someone.

 

[Doshii Jun]

S'cool. Let's get our schedules down now, so we can work out a JP schedule. Raz has his in; Ameko and Scribbles, you're up.

 

[KayamaAmeko]

For the next 10 days, I am free 24/7 and I don't mind games running til 12-2am if necessary, since I'm the one in EST.
If any engagments pop up, I'll give y'all a heads-up.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Scribbles! You up for JP tonight aaaaaaat ... 17:30 PST?

 

[KayamaAmeko]

I think he said in his OP that he'll be gone all day today :<

 

[Doshii Jun]

True. But ya never know.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Raz, Ameko -- JP at 8 p.m. PST?

 

[raz]

That's fine with me. I should be able to accept the invite if it happens.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Yo, Ameko -- don't worry about getting on again; we will reconvene tomorrow and finish up your part before going on to Saiga. We'll be meeting at 21:00 PST this time.

So everyone knows, SP will be available for the week starting Tuesday. We'll be leaving it on an appropriate note.

Scribbles, you're free to SP before that time, if you can. If not, and you can make the JP Monday, just lemme know.

 

[Karma Mechanic]

I'm up for today should there be a JP.

In terms of schedule, I'm free until the 26th. On the 27th I return to university. After the 27th I'm unsure of when my availible times are going to be.

HEY GOBAN-CHANS!

Our next JP will be 18:00 Pacific Daylight Time on FRIDAY (17:00 PST for those not on any Daylight Saving time).

Mitch, you're an Aussie, right? Just want to make sure; it'd be 11:00 the next day for you at that time, I think. Does that work, or is there another time we can schedule it?
