Ah, mystery solved.

When I posted that Kitty and Tom arrived, I put in the post they arrived at sundown but no worries. We can work it out with no trouble.

ZACK - I really dig your style of writing but without proper punctuation, I can't follow alon and much of what I need to know is lost to me. Can you PLEASE start using punctuation in your posts? Please? Pretty please? With sugar on top? It means so much to those of us trying to read what you've written and because you write such good posts, it would be much better for us to follow along witht he proper punctuation, sweetie. After all, your posts totally rock and to not be able to enjoy them properly takes away from the post as a whole.

P.S. - if you DON'T start using punctuation, I will be forced to SWAT you and I haven't had to do that very much after moving to the Bridge. So please...don't make me revert to my former ways of managing the site.

LOL!!

Yes... I too wouldn't mind a little punctuation. I have learned how to read Zack's posts, however, but it does take me a little longer to get through them. For the most part though, I have noticed that you have become clearer, Zack or maybe I just interpret better now... who knows?

ok dokey so more time is needed i was in a rush sometimes im sorry for that ill make a metal note to seriously get proper punctuation sorted and SWATTING scary stuff serious abuse and i think its just the interpreting getting better Tiph to be honest

LOL

You totally rock, Zack. Thanks a bunch for giving it a shot for us.

i hope thats better...not to sure to be honest my head was like being pounded in half if your having troubles i would be glad to start again once the headache goes away

It works.

Thanks

There just organized the forum a little bit. Now, ALTERED STATES is separated from Cataclysm.

Oooooo Sir Easy coming in with a mechnic can finally replace that old power drive in Rarmon lol hope this place gets a jump start due to this

Sounds interesting.

As soon as we get more info on the character, he'll be ready to go

Yes, a little bit more... also need to know specifically which story he is entering.

Hi ...

Thats what I was going to ASK, where do you need a mechanic? I was gearing toward the altered state story unless the other story is where you need a mechanic

I really want to build on this character, so let me know which direction..

Sir Easy

I would say that Altered States would fit your character. If you want to build him up as you go along, then that would be alright. Since he's from 'off planet' it might be easier to do that.

First things first though... this is an Earth based, Apocalyptic story and prior to the world's population nearly being wiped out and society attempting to rebuild itself I imagine that they had off-world colonies. Realistically there may have been Martian colonies and I am sure we can assume that the moons of Jupiter would most likely be the outer most fringe of Human settlements.

I hope this is the case of your character because I personally would find the introduction of 'human-like' alien race into the story a little far-fetched. It seems more likely though that he is from an Earth colony.

Since this is an Apocalyptic story, we have to keep with the theme, and so any off-world colonies would either be aware of what happened on Earth or still pondering why a century or so ago they lost communication. Thus these colonies, if they survived have been self sufficient for over a hundred years. In Miles' case, living on the most remote of these settlements he could very well be completely oblivious to what has happened on Earth depending on if he has had any communication with any other colonies.

As one of the main themes is 'survival', you may want to consider having Miles either crash land or journey back to Earth out of necessity. Also, I would imagine that most of the off-world colonies were either military installations or had a strong military presence for security purposes, so Miles may be or more appropriately was in the service.

These are just some ideas off the top of my head. Please feel free to make Miles out to be whatever you want, but just keep him in theme with the story. Thanks

HI Group

thanks for the tips...will keep it in the theme. I figured I might be able to use a remote military colony that escaped the apocalyptic event. They do have some old spacecrafts like Jupiter 5 longe range transport and (military background only) Civilians wrking for the this colony (prior servicewith a top secret clearance)

Any particular area any of you want me to focus on or meet someone?

Tip ..think maybe I could use some of the ideas I had for another scific lil while ago?

Easy
