ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

As Jaakko passes him, Markus decides that now would be a good time to actually introduce himself.
"Hello, sir. Markus Hermann, Scorch, at your service-"
Then he notices the dogs.
"...holy stuff."

Skeleton Man ended its original run in 4915. This is actual footage of Skeleton Man Reimagined, canceled before airing.

The tape snags on Gus's ring finger. He looks down and unravels it, re-wrapping the finger and the rest of the hand. He flexes it several times, testing the tightness of the tape.

"Well, good, kid. Stay sharp out there."

 He starts to walk away but pauses, turning back to half face Aero for a moment.

"Don't mind the rest of the squad right now. We've had a...," he trails off and starts over. "Well, some of us are still coping. They'll come around."

Gus turns back and heads off. He changes course from the heavy bags when he notices Jaakko and another transfer.

In a hangar at some corner of the base where the Tigersharks and old Mirages are stored as spare parts, Lt. Colonel Kibble is working on a barely functional F-20 in her free time. The nose cannon has been removed and placed somewhere in storage since nobody is using the plane. The hangar itself is cleaner than when it was before Bell started working on the jet, but there are still issues like the doors deciding to open wide if not closed correctly or the artificial lighting occasionally flickering during the night.

Bell removes a panel from an F-20's wing in order to access some wiring part of the flight control system, making sure everything is hooked up correctly by referencing manual for the plane. After she's done, Bell goes to sit on a folding chair she set up outside the hangar.


Ellie watches some recent gun camera footage on the television in the rec room.

[Swat 3]

Aero raises his eyebrows. "Er, alright."

[NoZoner]

On his way to the mess hall, Lorens happens to walk by the rec room doorway. Catching sight of people and dogs mid-stride, he pauses and takes a better look. Those shoulder patches!

"Hey! You guys are with the 514th, right?," Lorens says as he walks inside.

[Gojira]

Markus seems vaguely surprised by the newcomer.
"Oh- uh, yeah."
I barely even know anyone here, can I even say I'm part of Mjolnir?

[CypherX]

"That's us," says Gus. He looks the new visitor up and down. A Mercanan no doubt. Jaakko's monstrous pets seemed to eye him agreeably.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"You've greeted me before, and I know your name, Lieutenant," Jaakko replies to Lichtoscorch.

He turns to the new pilot.

"Yes, we are," he replies.

Jalko parks himself right in between all of the pilots while Talko investigates Markus' flight suit.

[Gojira]

"You've greeted me before, and I know your name, Lieutenant," Jaakko replies to Lichtoscorch.

huh, didnt think i did
also lol lichtoscorch
Markus looks away, clearly embarrassed.
"...oh. uh. Sorry."
He then directs his attention to Talko, letting him sniff his hand.
How did he get dogs on base, much less Deltan maned wolves?
"Well now... what's your name?" He asks no one in particular, embarrassment and nervousness both readable on his face.

[NoZoner]

"Ah, sorry. I'm Lieutenant Lorens Zaman, call sign 'Snowman.' I'm a transferee from the 658th Combat Wing. Looks like we'll be working together from now on," Lorens says with a smile tugging at his lips.

[CypherX]

y-you too


"Gustav Thomsen, Tempest in the air. Call me Gus."

He extends his hand towards Lorens.

Today, xk and i set out to see just how the planes in abs fiesta stack up to each other with regards to scale, this is the tentative result. changes to plane sizes are probably on the way. thoughts? opinions?

(of note is that the talon is way bigger than we thought it was at first, and the shikra and razorback are quite smaller)

[Gojira]

"Markus Hermann, Scorch in the air." I extend my hand to the slightly newer guy.

[NoZoner]

Lorens holds out his hand, but stops halfway and retracts it. He takes a moment to wipe both hands with a fresh hand towel procured from his back pocket before shaking both Markus' and Gus' hands. "It's a pleasure meeting you."

This is pretty legit.

... actually while changes are incoming, could i bother you with some special requests? :o

• Change A-10C trait "Clumsy" to "Slowpoke (Automatically fail all offensive and defensive chase EV rolls)"
• Introduce Tier 1 Su-25T with "Clumsy" trait for NAUC, faster but smaller with less ordnance capacity
• Introduce Tier 3 Harrier GR.9 for the Imperium
• Lorens gets A-10C mastery +2
