Error 404 posted:From reading your background, I got the feeling you pretty much were a doctor, a little rusty maybe after years in a lab, but perfectly capable. Yeah, that's pretty much it. As a side note, thanks to my merit I can perform most procedures capably without the proper tools.

 Raige Riguez Past: Born in Houston, Raige was a child of adverse circumstance. Born 7th out of 10 children, he was largely ignored by his parents, who were both too busy to look after him properly. A student of the failing public education system, his teachers also ignored him for the most part, and he then fell in with a famous Houston street gang, Los Zeta. The Zs helped him find his true passion, driving. From the first time he performed as a wheelman during a heist at the tender age of 13, he knew he wanted to drive for a living, and drive he did. Fast cars from a variety of jobs, most of which were illegal, landed him in front of a judge when he was 17. The judge gave him a choice, Military or Prison. Seeing how some of his Z buddies had not survived well in the new prisons installed in Texas, Riguez took the Military option, and was shipped to the Air Force. Present: "Captain Riguez, retired, formally of the 305th Space Transport Division, reporting as ordered sir." "Yes yes, welcome Riguez, you can stop saluting, this isn't the military anymore. This is DynCorp, and we've got a special job for you. We want you to take out the Mars Noden 2 on a run to point Beta in order to run some Bio Tests. You come very highly recommended from the Pentagon, and you have passed all of our checks with flying colors, will you take the job?" "Yes sir, I'm interested in getting started whenever you'll have me, sir" "Excellent, excellent, well, welcome aboard DynCorp Aeronautics, Captain, just sign here and we'll process your Employment and get you scheduled to move to Houston for takeoff in 30 days. I understand you have family in Houston? I expect its been a while since you've seen them, feel free to take a few weeks off before reporting in at Ellington." "Yes sir, I do, thank you sir, that would be great. Sir" Relationships "Mama" Riguez - A retired Schoolteacher at one of the 3rd Ward's worst elementary schools, "Mama" (Raige's mother) raised 10 children, and even got most of them to college on a shoestring budget. Now retired, she lives off of the accomplishments of her children, mostly of her eldest son and daughter, both of whom have risen far. Johnathan "Johnnio" Riguez - Raige's eldest brother, Johnnio was able to scrape by high enough grades to be accepted at the University of Texas in Austin under a Football Scholarship. He now owns and runs Riguez Hyundai, one of the largest and most successful car dealerships left in Houston. Louisa "Louey" Riguez-Cooperr Raige's eldest daughter, Louey was an accomplished pianist before she married Bradley Cooperr, who was, last Raige heard, running for mayor of Houston. Andymo "Mo A" Rivis An old gang leader of the Zetas, Mo was last out of prison, and trying to get the gang back together. Raige was able to avoid him before the flight left, but there are still some unresolved emails and phone calls from Mo waiting for Raige when he gets home. I think I got all the points spent, but I might be at 61 XP. I will look at the math again if I get in.

Final Decision tomorrow night approximately whenever I get to it. OP starts on the weekend. The Aberrant aka Hipster Occultist gets an automatic spot for finding the old game and encouraging me to run it again. Three spots remaining. Here is the old game for those curious.

I've been toying with the idea of a crop-duster turned astronaut thanks to a game show, "America's Next Top Pilot", but I didn't think I could make the story work in the long term. Maybe its worth another thought...

Impressions/Relationships with the team Dr. Marcus Kincaid 'Doc' and I have gotten to know each other well since the project started. I often join him on his nature hikes as a way to get outside and maintain fitness, it gives us the chance to debate, argue, and just talk. I've learned a lot about american 'culture' and folklore that I would never have guessed. Dr. Wren Meadows She is a brilliant scientist and doctor, but she often reminds me of my elder brothers, which makes getting to know her outside of work difficult and awkward. I get the feeling she's more ruthless than the front she puts up. Nicholas Copland Mr. Copland is very talented, but he and I do not often interact. Raige Riguez Raige is an excellent pilot, he's loud and brash, but seems like an ok guy. He's a good guy to grab a beer with.

True, but there's plenty of IC reason to try DC, and no doubt Mugrim's got tricks for if we stray too close to what the old game did. But hey, you're the pilot for a reason dude.

The source of everything is completely different from the original and as a result almost everything else will follow suit, though the tone will be very much the same. For those unfamiliar, the original was based on a very long series of nightmares, and the goal is to capture the tone again. You will have full sandbox to do whatever the hell you want. This is gonna be fun.

Oh yeah before I forget, here's the gear we have so far, I plan on adding mine to my first post/sheet in the game thread to keep track.

I could be wrong, but from what I can see On the Map Mugrim provided, this is the only way in or out of the little neighborhood we landed in (which I'm pretty sure I put in my last post) Am I mistaken? Can we drive over this thing? If so, is there some sort of skill check that needs to be made, or some sort of napalm we can use to cleanse ourselves after the fact? Oh, I'm out until Sunday night, if you need to make Raige do something, anyone of you please feel free to do so.

Yeah, as I understand our only options are: Drive out that one way, which could leave us open to being blindsided and attacked. Walk out through a patch of woods? But we would have to abandon the van, and who knows what else is in there? My vote is Drive out, but be ready for poo poo to go down.
