Beamer: You find yourself in a waiting room at Fort Greenville, sitting on a cold, metal chair in front of one Staff Sergeant Kennith Akerman, who is filling out an electronic form with your name on the top. So far, he hasn't asked you any questions; hasn't even looked at you, in fact.
The frigid breeze coming from the air conditioner vent directly above you seems to be keeping the room at a temperature just above freezing. Your boxers are still the only apparel you have, and you're unclear on how, or even when, that duplicitous Captain Tanaka ended up with your blaster.
"Colonel Watson will be with you shortly," Akerman says as he finishes the form and launches a solitaire game called Klondike.

"Thank you Sergeant." Beamer respectfully says. As Akerman makes any moves in the game Beamer (roll for any of this Nate) corrects the wrong ones in hopes that he can help this man who is not going beyond his duties.

The first time you attempt to help Sergeant Akerman, he glares at you, and makes the "bad" move anyway. Before things can escalate, another Sergeant enters the room and bellows "Andrews, Jonathan. Follow me."
The burly marine leads you to a small room and has you sit in a metal chair in front of a desk. Then he backs off and stands in the corner. The marine snaps to attention when a withered old crone enters the room.
The woman couldn't possibly be taller than four feet, yet despite her age and stature, she manages to climb into the chair across the desk from you.
She spends a slow minute settling into her chair. Then she clears her throat and introduces herself, "My name is Marianne Watson, sonny. But you will address me as 'Colonel'. Is that clear? Good. Now, SPEAK!"

"SPEAKING COLONEL!" Jonathan stands at full attention. The Colonel reminds him of his drill sergeant, she was a small explosive too. The one who helped him decide to stick with the Navy, 'It's too bad more men with your drive don't join private. You are the kind of officer that scares the hell out of superiors and gets more done than all of them put together. If you quit now, they win.' The last words that Sgt. Youngkin ever said to him directly, rang through his head.
'Where in the freezing Hells is that hunter off to?' Andrew's thought. "CAPTAIN JONATHAN PATRIC ANDREWS, SKADI NAVY. AWAITING A FORMAL BRIEFING COLONEL, OR PERMISSION TO FIX THIS MESS CALLED EARTH!"

"Let's get down to brass tacs, Captain." She holds up a card:  "What do you see here? How does it make you feel?"

1. An egg beyond well done and ready to destroy your world with it's Satanic locust infestations... Just another day at work.
2. Colonel M. Hunny needing to be saved... again and Heroic.
3. Ellyna on any given monthly cycle... Laughable.
Beamer turns the card over.
*cut by Lironah*
"Is there anything else Colonel or can you simply understand that I am a fish out of water here without my mech. I was stranded on this God forsaken rock and some @$$wipe hunter brings his self righteous attitude down from only God knows where. Yeah I am pissed and about to blow like this blot. Now if we can get past the icy details of the d@mned background," He points to the picture, " allow me to fix your Hell Hole," He points to the smoke, "and quit thrusting *cut by Lironah* in my face-" He points out *cut by Lironah*, "-possibly I could give a d@mn about you planet long enough to find a solution." He sits back in his seat, "Or we can continue to beat your bush all day Ma'am in a quest for the glory of equality... but I am curious as to why you are showing me a *cut by Lironah*?"

(I should have known better than to show you an inkblot...Oh what the heck, you'll like this one.) Without saying a word, Colonel Watson sets the inkblot down and writes something in her notebook. Then she holds up another card.  "What about this one?" |

(Due to censoring, likely needed if the material before needed it, this post has been PMed to Galadare. Just know that Beamer seems very upset by the whole ordeal for this colonel to prove their own worth.)

(Beamer, I apologize for my delay in replying, but; if you already know that Lironah will censor your post, what makes you think I want to read it?
If I may, I would like to propose an idea so revolutionary, so radically outrageous, as to shake the Pillars of Heaven and redefine the very fabric of the Universe itself.
Prepare yourself, for this Idea is so bold and daring as to deserve the capital 'I'.
Are you ready? 'Cause here it is.
Get this...
Voluntary Self-Censoring
Imagine if you will, a world wherein no one need fear to read so-and-so's latest post. A world where mutually considerate behavior prevents certain lines from being crossed.
I appreciate your eagerness to roleplay your character. I happen to know that you are smart enough to play Beamer without being offensive.
Please do so.
Incidentally I have not read your PMed post, and I'm not going to either.)

(Oh yes my friend you will...
This was the message. I did censor myself. It was a PG rating. I am sorry that the censoring was not good enough, I do appologize. I guess that Beamer's attitude toward this situation is not what you need in this game.
I will pm you about this later if you pm myself first (I had thought all of this was very censored... especially my PM). I do appologize and everyone please remember, "Don't ask, just hit the D***ED smite button!" It really looks good.
I hope to make it out to the game this Saturday, I should have some extra time as life is slowly returning to normal and all the job offers thus far have been a day shift M-F position.
I am sorry that I DID offend any of you. I did try my best to keep this as a PG game. I do believe that I was told that was the basic rating I was to keep to, I will keep to a G rating from this point on.
Have fun guys.)
