Starting...today?? Well, OK. I sorta had the idea that we Morganites come in first with the skirmish with InEn guys that really starts up the hatred for InEn and Morgan. What do you think, Kassiopeia?

Otherwise nice, but it's school tomorrow, and I need to be there in 7.25 hrs. I thought of kinda sleeping before that, you know? I cannot post in 13 hrs (And won't probably have a post ready until in some fifteen hrs. Luckily the school lasts for five hours).

*curses time zones*
[RANT]*curses for another time, this time the school hours that start ridiculously early - I mean, would it not be too hard to just start at 10:00 and end at 16:00 - 17:00? Please! 8:00 to 15:00 is a killer! And the irony is, I probably won't learn anything I already would not know tomorrow!)*[/RANT]

You can do your first post, maybe a deep space supply convoy being attacked by the other party. You can attack, or have a Morganite convoy destroyed, your choice.

plus links to your guys pages, with permission

Just make sure the URL is correct, and everything's fine. Oh, and I would not mind having a link to yours either.

The site you found is an outstanding site Don't worry about the timezones. Just post when you can. I'm up all hours and usualy I am on here if im not at work or with my girlfriend or out with friends.

These are cool ships. To bad that they just don't look Spartan Looks like a PK or Terran ship.

[[LordLMP]]

I think he means the terran% of people following the new religion. Cause I know the Spartans are not going to even know about this. Until they have more contact.

I rather simply call it an Dogma then a religion..........and rather not see the religion some hypocrital fanatic one....but more like a spiritual belief.


Mars people and people of many may believe in same kind og Dogma, but varies place to place... and also would vary in different culture. The Belters and Venus people would the oddballs in sol, dogma wise.

The Scions, would have their own form of Dogma.

Among the Chironians.... each faction as their own form of Dogmas. Like the morganites belief in capitalims and material gains. gaians dogma is more mysterious and spiritual with an belief on environtmentalism and so on......... Spartans too have their own Dogma of strict militaristic dsicipline, their Spartan Warrior Code and etc...

Whatever people decide to call it is fine with me.

[History Guy]

Well, Sprayber, whenever you are ready, it's fine with me (Just not too late). It's 6:30 here in Illinois. I just wrote up a short post for the entrance of Morganites into Beyond AC, it describes the fight between the InEn ship and the Morganite ship that starts the war between the two companies. I make it appear as if both sides will lose, and that no-one knows who fired the first shot.

[History Guy]

Actually, come to think of it, speaking of religions (dogmas, as Lord MP calls them), I think there is evidence that CEO Morgan is Muslim. If you watch the dossier photos, there's a picture of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. I suppose he's either Muslim or he's making some Holy Land journey (Christian or Jewish), but I think it probably means he's Muslim (not that it matters at all).

beginning of BAC...

I'm not sure what the beginnning will look like and how to introduce the Hive perspective. If it starts with the Morgan/InEn engagement, I might suggest we are watching. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Sprayber or Alynzia, I'm thinking of posting after one of you. Since both Spartans and Gaians have had the most contact with the Hive, I think it would be fitting to post next to you. If you two have a better idea or any questions, please pm me. Thanx!

[History Guy]

Franky, I don't think I'll start BAC, but my entrance into it will be through the fight between the Morganites and InEn. For one thing, the guy writing InEn shan't be able to write anything for 15 hrs., and the whole affair is supposed to be kept a secret for a bit. To tell you the truth, unless the thread is started in a short time I don't know if I shall post tonight or not, I'm off to bed in about 2 hrs.

[Sprayber]

Sorry guys. I had a bit of a problem with some personel stuff and got delayed. You can start your posts anyway you want to. Start with some event in your faction. Start it with a lazy afternoon day somewhere. It doesn't have to be dramatic or anything, just somthing to start building from. Start with describing a routine day as your leader or start by a general overview of your faction. We don't have to post in any order either. It's no problem if Kass cant post for a while becuase we all can post as much or as little as we can. Remember this isn't strictly a reponse type story. You can explore as much as your faction as you want to in depth. Happy writing


edit: But if you do post something involving another faction, please let them have time to respond. If it is just passing a spartan freighter in space somewhere, then its no big deal, but if you fire on that freighter, then give me some kind of time to say what the crew did and if any emergencey calls had been sent. Or what the response by the spartan central command will be.

[History Guy]

OK, well open the thread.

After the fighting scene, and the scene in which Morgan learns of it, I intend to have a scene of a normal Morgan colony on a normal day.

[History Guy]

There we go. How was that?

[Sprayber]

Great first post History Guy. You captured Morgan very well. Hope everyone liked my openning statements. I think History guys post started us out good.

Additional Hive facts

I forgot to mention some things...

Hive cities are no longer "cyclindrical" in design. Hive cities are like regular cities except that they have a central courtyard (sometimes spanning hundreds of yards/meters across).

The administration offices are usually near the surface.

Catwalks connect the sides of these "cavern-cities" on all levels throughout each city. The only characteristic that is prevalent in all Hive cities is the central shaft light. Light from the outside pours in from the same surface 'window', the rest of the lighting is artificial.

Going off on a tangent: What do the Bree look like? Can someone describe what they look like to me?

Hey HistoryGuy,
Good job! I like the detail and the "sneak attack" to introduce the hostility between InEn and Morgan Interstellar.
