Was this when she was a *budding chemist*? while she was trying to do a come back tour?

No, no *budding chemist*...she was full-blown 'Breaking Bad".

And she's still not doing time in prison?, how'd she swing that deal?

She owns all the Zentraedi lawyers.

Lest I forget....
The Gargoyle suffers another catastrophic setback on their attempts to return home when they get sideswiped into a black hole by a Ford Tesla...

Heard on the Tesla's stereo as it continued on.

BTW: The Roadster is made by Tesla, not Ford.

Sorry to hear that. Enjoy the music.

What? 'Freefalling?' Sometimes the feeling's as being lost as the Gargoyle, in a void just as fathomless....
Maybe it's my imagination, playing tricks on me, but sometimes, like a 2088er, I can't shake that feeling of looking over my shoulder wondering when the other boot's going to drop.

At that moment the Gatlantis armada shows up to try and capture the Gargoyle.

Proving that no matter how big an empire you possess, your intelligence service can still wind up staffed by imbeciles.

"...who is this man and what is he doing on my bridge?"
"Captain, he claims to be an agent of HG and he's here to oversee the sunsetting of our operations."
"...we're going home?!"
"No sir, he's mentioned scrapping us in place and liquidating the whole mission. He's evaluating the value of selling off the ship as recyclable metal."
"SCRAPPING the Gargoyle?!"
"Yessir. He also wants to know of any of us have any valuables, including gold fillings-"
"END OUR MISSION?!"
"I know, sir, given that we're more likely to scrap ourselves-"
"Nobody sells the Gargoyle out from under us! NOBODY!"
"Sir, he does have proof of holding the license to-"
"Is he proof against breathing vacuum?!"
"Ah-"
"Everybody strap in! Except -YOU-! YOU GET OFF MY SHIP!!!"
#EMERGENCY! BRIDGE DECOMPRESSION ALERT! EMERGENCY!#
<<<WHUUMPFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssss>>>

Centuries later, a ship comes across the drifting hulk of the Gargoyle, full of flash frozen corpses.

EShemarrian: "Geez! it'll be a challenge even for us, to salvage anything from this!"

Nah, Gargoyle's crew is USED to decompression.
After the unsecured lawyersdetritus gets sucked out, the crew closes the airlocks and repressurizes.
Then they wait awhile for the blindness and deafness from burst blood vessels, ignore the black eyes and 'vac-rash' everybody's sporting, and go back to work.

Captain Ham: *Just you wait Tommy, just you wait you mother F***ing jerk ass!, no one and I mean NO ONE scraps my ship! *

So Gargoyle's going to become a relativistic missile?
Yeah, sounds about right.

Meanwhile, I'm building Beige Squadron and Grey Company from the bare minimum of unpainted Robotech RPG Tactics miniatures.
They're unpainted, they're undistinguished, they're bare minimum talented, they all have forgettable names, and that's their strength!
They got overlooked for the Gargoyle mission and Khyron's legions respectively because they're just that forgettable!

Really, I have been thinking of getting some RT minis but I'm not sure if I can afford them or not and I was hoping that there would be some Southern Cross and Robotech Masters minis as well as Nex Gen minis

Also what's Tommy's last name?

Sadly, I didn't wait until the liquidation, so I paid full price for most of mine.
Also sadly, no second or third generation minis(hell, there weren't even that many 1st gen minis...they were still working through the Macross models and setting new ones as Kickstarter goal prizes, like the MAC).

I doubt HG will let Ninja Division continue with the line.

Well the word is that some one in Beige Squad has a relative in the Gargoyle's crew who sent world that Tommy's days were numbered and not to be on the same continent when the hit went down.

Unfortunately, science has recently proven that Lawyers are related to xenomorphs ... vacuum might not be enough.

Or dump the xeno-lawyers on some unsuspecting world just for the s****s and giggles.

Yeah, the Gargoyle makes LOTS of friends that way.
The United Federation of Planets would haul them up on violations of the Prime Directive for the lawyer-dumpings alone.

That, and the load of Tribbles they dumped on Qo'noS.

The Federation, those bunch of candy asses?, heh The Gargoyle's crew could argue that xeno-lawyer dumping is apart of their *culture* and they do it as apart of their *religion* to give the blessings of their gods on the world they dump the lawyers on.

Those weren't tribbles, they were Hyperkittens.

The Gargoyle touches down in the capital...

Kirk: "Look at those appreciating crowds..."

Tessa: "I think that's a mob, actually."

Welshie: (As the airlock crumples) "Well, who'd of thought the bat'leth was an MDC weapon!"

Never a good sign when the tarmac crew begin stoning the shuttlecraft.....or piling lumber and accelerants around it.

Talk about a *rough* and *hot* LZ

By the time they're leaving, ALL the LZs are hot...

SRoss wrote:By the time they're leaving, ALL the LZs are hot...

Good point but you have to wonder who made the LZs *hot* LZs, either the crew of the Gargoyle due to their *stellar* mataince of the ship's reactor core or the planet's natives to burn away all traces of the ship and it's crew.

Why not both? Stuffing the engine nozzles full of thermite can''t be too healthy for reactor shielding.

I can sort of understand that, hope things get better for you.

"You know, Fooker, you didn't have to blow the explosive bolts on your cockpit and do a helmetless airlock dive. One, HAL DID open the hangar doors for you, and Two, you had your helmet with you."
"It's not about logic, it's about manliness! Ain't no way I'm going to be out-balled by some NASA wimp!"
"Whatever....keep it up and you'll be dead again."

(my older brother feels that Bowman's emergency entry into the Discovery has to count as 'one of the balliest moments in sci-fi cinema'....something that a lot of he-men would feel challenged by.)

Arnie100 wrote:Chief Toombs: "HAH! Not my fault this time!"

Fooker didn't bother to check if the airlock he was going to freewalk was occupied first or not.
And Toombs forgot to post 'occupied' signs on the OUTSIDE of the airlock, as well as inadvertently disabled the pressure lockout safeties*.


*Though later investigation would show the airlock monitor records would show signs of tampering, making it unclear if it was Toombs or somebody else who had bypassed the safety protocols...about the only person NOT suspected was HAL, and that was because it was cut off from connection to any ship's life support systems by the judicious placement of several 5 ft thick non-conductive concrete blocks across certain fiber optic and wiring junctures.
So the real responsibility for Toombs' spacing would go unanswered...no that anybody particularly -cared-).
