“Like many families that have power.” Isolde shakes her head. “So much for the out in the middle of nowhere.”
“We all come from the same home world you know. Just some have moved further into the burbs.” Audra shrugs
“Well, all I can offer is look over all the paperwork and see who have to most to gain. “ Looking at both of them. “I have no one that I would want to call husband. Hay I’m not even looking.”
“The fun of family and friends.”
“The one thing your crew will need to take care when they look around. They will stick out as they are not local and will be watched.” Ana offers. “We watch all that come to the island.”
Isolde nodded. "I'll make sure they get the message."
"Isolde," Audra spoke up, "why are we sending a crew to her family's island? I mean, I know I wasn't told of the extent of the problem here, but this seems a bit much just to find out who Ana's dad wants her to marry."
Isolde shook her head. "Sorry, I seem to have said too much. You weren't told everything because the Colonel was worried you could be caught, interrogated and made to talk."
Audra shrugged, apparently accepting it, but internally, she was disappointed her uncle didn't trust her. Turning back to Ana, she asked. "By the way, Ana. If this problem of yours was so bad, why didn't you go to the Governor for help? Why only talk to Uncle Euron?"

« Last post by Firesprocket on 19 April 2024, 21:53:54 »My super picks without at a whole lot of commentary (Hellbie beat me to it).
Vegas vs Dallas: It's that time of the year again where the warden looks the other direction and all the refugees from Robidas island run free down the strip and maybe something comes of it. I don't honestly know if Logan Thompson can carry this team in the post season. I say that because I don't think Adian Hill is healthy. Pound a healthy Vegas team can go toe to toe with Dallas. I just don't think they are going to be healthy. Dallas in 6
Colorado vs. Winnipeg: The defensive bulwark vs the offensive juggernaut. I'm going to make the mistake, yet again, of picking the Jets. I just don't think the goal tending in Colorado is good enough this year to carry them out of the first round. Winnipeg in 7
Nashville vs Vancouver: There is nothing scary about Nashville on paper, but they won 47 games. That's pretty good and better than a couple of those divisional 3 seeds. They have vets with a ring out there and enough grit that I don't think they are going to easily beaten. 'Nucks in 6
Los Angeles vs Edmonton: I'm not predisposed to Edmonton just walking over the Kings. That's probably what will happen, but both teams were really, really good and also really, really awful at stretches too (both firing their HC's). The Kings have an offense that is less potent but deeper. Connor Mcjesus and Leo are probably going to be over 9000 for this round so it will be the Oilers in 7.
Tampa Bay vs Florida: Tampa Bay has been really solid in the second half, but Florida has been consistant nearly all season. Tampa has all the rings, but I think Florida is sure thing unless injuries hit them hard. Florida in 6
Toronto vs Bruins: I'm not sure how many good things I can say about Toronto. Goaltending has been an issue for several years and they have yet to address it. Sure they have an excellent offense, but that hasn't gotten them anywhere. Nylander might not be playing in game 1. Bruins, while they have been slumping recently, have Patrick Maroon. As we all know that's Toronto's kryptonite. Bruins in 5
Washington vs NY Rangers: Charlie 'Halak' Lindgren stands tall over the Blueshirts with the broken stick of his brother Ryan Lindgren like he was Dikembe Mutombo. I'll leave the rest of the series up to your imagination Rangers in 5
NY Islanders vs Carolina: I have no idea what the hell is going to happen. I'm just going to assume the Hurricanes might have bought enough duct tape and bubble wrap this year to keep their goalies safe and healthy (haha) Hurricanes in 5
My first to final round prognostication is a Florida vs Dallas final.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: If you could get pre-painted BattleTech figures, would you?
« Last post by Gladius-XC on 19 April 2024, 21:53:36 »I’m pretty “meh” about the whole thing. I doubt that I will ever get all my minis painted, so I’ll just use the pre-painted minis as they are. I don’t care about using mis-matched paint schemes in my games, so that’s not a big deal for me.
I feel like colored plastics are a waste of time though. As soon as you slap primer on the mini, it doesn’t really matter what color the plastic was.

Jump Jet attacks, rolling and crouching while Lasing and firing deadly Missile barrages. All since 3025! (Of course, it's 1986!)
