Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[Goblin Baily: DILF]

That doesn't really prove anything because:
1) They are the same rank
2) MC is not under her command (unlike Annie)
3) depending on the orders they had, MC could actually be superior officer while on the station (she's superior while on board Vanguad)

Basically, I'm not sure Chris have any authority to do anything to MC other than report him to their superiors... which she can't even do at the moment due to communications being down (that's if she's willing to do that since it would also create a problem for Annie).

I believe she can use article 40 to lock the MC in the brig

Article 40 of the UCMJ:
"The military judge or a court-martial without a military judge may, for reasonable cause, grant a continuance to any party for such time, and as often, as may appear to be just. "

Do I have the wrong edition on my table?

One other thing that's been buggering me - who's senior?

...sometimes dyslexia can be funny.

Technically Chris is higher as it's a "flight" operation. However we don't know what the orders allow MC to do

Then she might be 'Mission Commander' for the duration of the flight but on station, Seniority is what counts when both parties involved are of the same rank (and no other orders exist). So we would need to know who was promoted first (simply put) to determine who's in charge.

Yeah, but MC is "ground" officer and they are on ground now...

Chris is in charge of the transport. MC is in charge of the ground mission with the flight crew likely ordered to support him until the mission is concluded. I may be wrong though, we'll see in Chapter Three for certain.

They are not in the US military. They are in a space Navy, and based on UK military tradition (as Notty is from that side of the pond.) Whether their articles are based on any existing articles... I can't find the equivalent of the UCMJ for the UK online (I searched a little, but can't be arsed to search deeper).

RE: who's senior - Chris is senior when they're in transit - it's her ship. The MC is senior on the ground, as it's his mission. In fact, he is (for the duration of his mission) in charge of the entire research station (thus, the authority to shut it down completely.)

 

[jdoch]

There is just no way to know. Depends entirely on the orders which we have not seen yet. Could be that she is the mission commander and he is the mission specialist. That would mean she is in charge. But could also be that it's his mission and the flight crew have been ordered to support the mission (in essence: To be the Taxi), which would put him in Charge.

Also: The Mission often overrides seniority. Sometimes even an NCO can be in charge of Officers, if that's what the mission requires. That is often the case during Training. For example the USNavy SEAL NCOs conducting Basic Underwater Demolition and Seal Training are in charge of Officers undergoing the course despite being technically outranked. (They are of course still relatively polite)

RE: who's senior - Chris is senior when they're in transit - it's her ship.

By that logic the President should give the Nuclear Briefcase to the Pilot everytime he boards Airforce One. Also, just because someone is the Pilot doesn't mean it's his ship.

Not quite. That's like the MC being required to give his spanner to Chris.

A passenger should never authority over the flight crew regardless of his rank.

Also, just because someone is the Pilot doesn't mean it's his ship.

It's her ship for this mission. We don't know the standard crew roster of the Vanguard, so there may be someone of higher rank assigned as the commanding officer, but in this instance it is her ship.

Any news about the date release ?

No news yet.

Battlestar Galactica vibe.

I'll wait for a couple more chapters to come out but looks interesting.

 

[freedom.call]

Got round to playing chapter 2. Still loving the story and feel of the game.

Still no sex for 'my guy', at the end I got 'You didn't' on all but one. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Hi @Nottravis!

I'm currently halfway chapter 1, and so far, enjoying the story a lot!! I can see the attention that went into it. I have two very minor nitpicks, that I'm only sharing because you seem to go for a very realistic setting.

If anyone here knows Notty IRL - could you check in with her? Getting a little worried for her.

Her Patreon says she will run quiet until release.

Couple more weeks of Notty-less life, I suppose?

If it's intentional, it is a very bad decision. Communication is everything in this business. I hope she'll come back, with or without next chapter, before the end of the month.

It does seem like a bad decision, especially coming from someone as chatty as she was. The gap is just so much more jarring.

That being said, I hope nothing bad happened to her IRL, as I do miss her wiggling eyebrows.

For now, let's just follow the Count of Monte Cristo's last words: "Wait and hope"

I saw the Patreon post when she made it - 18 days ago on April 1. I have two daughters - when one contacts me more than once every couple months I worry, and when the other doesn't contact me for more than a week I worry. I don't doubt they can take care of themselves, it's just a change in their communication pattern that worries me. Which is why I'm worried about Notty now.

It's not rational, and having only her online comms via Patreon and here to go by, not overly indicative of her true, IRL communication style. Still, I worry.

Sorry, Notty, for cyber-parenting.
