Hi boys and girls. An Infectious Situation is an 'apply to play' thread. Before I outline the plot of the thread, I want to just say why I want to have it as an 'apply to play' thread. Simply: I want solid reasons for this to be occurring, and each character NEEDS a good reason to be here. Run of the mill mercenaries (unless you have an exceptional reason) will not suffice for this thread, as it simply makes no sense for them to be here. Ideally, this thread should have Sith, Imperials, Jedi, Alliance, Chiss, Mandalorians, or appropriate Independants.

Now, as a question of 'location'. The thread technically will take place on a planet called Plooma, which according to the map is deep behind Imperial territory. For the purposes of this RP, i would kindly as that everyone ignore this fact, and magically pretend it borders everyone's territory. >.> (Just go with it, guys).

To the point!

My new character, Lachlan Artagan is a Viral Biologist who has been caught in a cluster******* of a situation. Employed by the Imperium to research a cure for a particularly vicious disease nicknamed 'VIC', he and his team were a victim of unknown terrorist actions, resulting in a weaponised form of the virus being released in the lab, killing his co-workers.

The thread, which will be named An Infectious Situation, will start with Lachlan transmitting a wide-beam broadcast summing up the situation, and the Empire's "apparent betrayal", and his need for help within a certain timeframe before he gets blown sky-high. Hopefully, with the myriad of people who will declare their interest for this thread (please be interested...), there will be a race to get to him first, rescue him and 'sway' him to that particular faction's interests/goals. Whether it be forced labour, or assisted research for a cure, or whatever - thats for the RP to determine.

For everyone who is interested, please post a link to your character, and an outline of WHY your character would be interested in rescuing/capturing a Viral Biologist who is currently in a cluster****. Please note: There is OBVIOUS risk involved (not REAL risk) of your characters becoming infected by VIC - not to fear, no one will actually fall ill - so please be sure your character is either prepared to take the risk, or prepared to die if you're committed to this thread.

If you have any questions, queries, suggestions, or would like to express interest, please post in this thread.

Cheers,

- Cassa

I would love to participate. I love the sound of it and I love the ideas that could come from it.
However, I don't think that any of my characters are currently in a suitable situation. Considering that Holiday and my newest Jedi, Izime, are both just Initiates, and Vera hasn't, in all technicality, been accepting into the ranks of the Galactic Alliance, I don't know what the realism of them being sent on such a mission is like.

I could devise a logical reason for one of them to be there, but I'll leave it up to you. If you think they're too inexperienced, then by all means. If you think they're okay, and would like a specific one in general, just let me know. I can commit any of them.
If you don't have preferences but think they're clear to go, then I'll pick whichever one I can declare the most logical to go. I'm leaving this ball in your side of the court, Cassa. If you think they would be more of a hindrance than a help, I'll stay out of it and spectate.

I think if Vera gets the (Y) on Dilapidated or something from Aelianus (MtS), and you're accepted on the sign-up sheet, there's no reason to think she wouldn't be sent on such a mission.

Vera was accepted on the sign-up sheet, and since we know the outcome of Dilapidated, you can consider me in! c: I'm more than willing to commit Vera to An Infectious Situation.

This sounds really interesting. I think Eden would work quite well for the setting; a weaponised virus being the kind of thing that she would want to see gotten rid of, and a viral biologist the kind of person that would be very useful to have on side. There's a link to her profile in my sig. If you want a more thorough explanation, lemme know!

But yeah, sounds like somethingI'd like to beinvolved in!

Looks good, Kit.
Happy to 'ave both of you onboard for this one.

I think if we have maybe one more... or just stick with the 3 of us, this could be fun. :)

Any bad dudes wanna give it a crack?

I'm okay with just the three of us, but it wouldn't hurt to wait and see if anyone else was interested.

I don't know if any of my characters would fit this mission, but I do know that at least one of them needs to meet your character in the future. :P

Edit: actually I could see the Retrade sending Tsu to find this guy... Hmm.

If you want in, Tribunal, now is the time to make the call ;)

If you are, you've got the job.
Kit, Holiday and Tribunal.

Once Tribunal decides which way he wants to go about it - i'll get the thread up, and then its a free for all. :)

Check me in as Tsu Ordan. I won't be able to post for a few hours (currently at work) so it looks like you guys get a head start. ;P

Woohoo! I can't wait to get started with it. c: I'll post as often as I can before I have to leave, then I'll post again as soon as I get back online.

The great Drave would like to come to the rescue if there's still room.

Edit: Nevermind, it appears GA has this all over them. D:

What can I say? All my threads have gotten really unlucky, how certain people forget to post, and bail out before it begins.

But for reals here, I'm not sure how I can wedge any of my characters in at this point.

So is there a specific post order or do we all just kinda spit into the jar?

Just curious, cuz it looks like I may be the only one left online.

I see no problem with continuing. I can't speak for Holiday or Kit, however. Holiday, I would assume that she doesn't mind - Kit, I honestly don't know. Never done any RPs with Kit before.
