Interceptor Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 I...doubt you'd be interested Charr. I'm just going to go out on a limb here. Not telling you your business or anything, but I doubt this is for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charr Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Go ahead. Spring it on me. Who knows, I might want to take a swing at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 Ahem...well this didn't go like I planned at all. OK, well here goes. I got the job recently in Chicago's rescue services. With Sakurako's invention of the Eufiber netting, and her help in that helicoptor rescue. They were pretty impressed and brought up something I hadn't expected. They're interested in forming a municipal defender team, and they expressed interest in me being a part of it.I said I'd think about it, the way they came off it sounded like they wanted me to make the team, being a Chicago native and all. That's not exactly my specialty though. So I wanted to look around on the Opnet, and send out a few feelers.That's why I kind of figured it really wouldn't be your thing.

Access Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well, I'm getting tired of this backwater ISP here. I'd be willing to relocate if you need yourself a teleporting/hacker/inventor type. Though, I'm not really sure how well my abilities would work in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Damn, I am a native of the Chicago area (as much as anywhere else). What to do, what to do?Interceptor, what would be the size, area, and scope of this Municipal Defender Team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 Bear in mind, nothing's set yet. They said they had initially approached Kikjak on leading an expansion team, but he refused due to contractual obligations. They were thinking of having a team that would be responsible for the greater Chicago area, as well as into Indiana, Wisconsin and Lake Michigan port authorities. Mainly those three states and their respective nearby population centers. Ideally based out of Chicago itself, and from there able to provide services to a decent sized area. From Chicago to Milwaukee to Gary, that's pretty decently sized, so the team wouldn't be used for traffic problems or cats stuck in trees .I don't have much to go on just yet, like I said, I'm mainly putting out feelers, and I wouldn't have the ability to approve or deny anyone. Heck, I might not get approved. However, if I could get a perspective line up, that might help get the ball rolling.Some of the perks mentioned:Decent SalaryMarketing and License controlR&D budgetLiving space provided by the cityHover Emergency vehicle access and licensingFull insuranceAdvanced Weaponry Training and LicensingAgain, nothing in stone of course. That's what I have so far. Let me know if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 So Jager? Bandwidth? Anyone else interested? I was hoping to hear from Dr. Preston as well, as he seems to have a lot of experience in Nova police actions.Anyone?...Charr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hell, you could have had me with the hover vehicles and the R&D budget. I just need my toys to keep me going, but I'll take the other stuff as well. I'm in if you need me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Rice Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I live right in Chicago, but I don't know if I'd be useful. I've been training with Utopia lately, but I'm still pretty new to all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 You know, I do have a way to get the HM-II to Lake Michagan. It'd be a long trip, but I feel it's worth the effort.I may not like the publicity, but the cause is at the very least honorible.At the very least worth me handling the paperwork for a Green Card.I've been meaning to return to Chicago anyways. There's alot to see and the last time I was there I didn't get the chance to see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I think this might be a new thing to several of us, but I better work on some of my skills a bit.

Sakurako Hino Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 What, you know about the project?I have the understanding, at least on my part, that by showing us for what we are, not what the baselines want us to be, that there would be more of an understanding of the Nova.The work I would be doing is, in some part, right.Forgive me for being cryptic, but I do not want to Jinx this. Interceptor sent the idea to me, and I'm definitely interested in his plan.Not to mention it's wide-open. I could leave at any time. Big bonus there.

Ashnod Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I am completely sincere.As for motivation, it is simple, my fine-feathered friend. Dr. Smith's dogged perseverence has given me new insight into my evil ways, and I figure that if I spend a few months around true heroes and doing heroic deeds, I shall likely return to the path of righteousness.

Ghostwriter Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I never figured you for having a sense of humour, Ashnod. But hey, if you're going to do this, good luck with it. Watch out for the novaphiles though. They annoyed the hell out of me when I was with T2M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Just going on record that I took Ashnod's desire to team up with Interceptor and Co. to be sincere from the get-go. If you look pass the thin surface distortions, her reasoning should be obvious.Now, as to the persuasive properties of the Good Doctor Troll ... mmmmm .... no.

Although that is only a small part of why I was interested.You see...There is always something that drives me to do good things. To help others, Nova or Human. I'm just the type of person to run into a burning building to save a baby.It's all that there is to it.And Ashnod, even after all the times we've butted heads, I look foreward to meeting you in person.

Ashnod Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I think this works as a new handle. After all, my old name had too much negative baggage. If I'm going to be a hero, I need to be more user-friendly.--Continuum Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronin Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I don't know what you expect Continuum Girl to find that Ashnod could not. However, Interceptor, the fact that you're advocating people whose philosophies diverge so greatly from yours and what this team is trying to do, by putting on costumes and adopting new names and letting people play superhero, it gives me an idea. If people like Ashnod and Jager can dress up and play superhero, maybe I can dress up and play supervillain. Maybe...maybe I could even get a whole supervillain team.
