Unless someone has a parting shot for Beale, we'll be dropping out of initiative for the moment. It's difficult to run an encounter where the primary combatants are an NPC and a ghosted PC. It appears that doghead may be away for a while longer, so let's move on.
We were discussing possible ties for Melara. Lot or ByteRynn: any room in your respective backgrounds for an acquaintanceship with a pilot of ill repute?
Also, FYI: some of the real-life factors which have been slowing me down recently have dropped away, so I'm planning to try and pick up the pace a bit now. I trust that no one will mind.
