July 1, 2012: Construction of the International Space Station is completed. Call goes out for employees of all nationalities to man the station: astronauts, physicists, chemists, doctors, etc.
July 30, 2012: After undergoing a series of intensive physical and mental tests, you are hired as an astronaut for the International Space Station.
August 2, 2012: Artemis 16, the manned flight to Mars, is successfully launched from the I.S.S. On September 7, 2014, astronauts Joseph Arlington(of the United States of America) and Jian Guo Li(of the Peoples' Republic of China) become the first human beings to set foot on Mars. August 21, 2012: The I.S.S. launches a series of satellites and robots destined for Venus. These objects all reach the planet successfully, and unprecedented amounts of information are gathered about the second planet in the solar system.
September 19, 2014: Dr. Dietrich Beckenbauer, Sc.D., acting director of the I.S.S., announces the intention to launch another, highly ambitious project. The I.S.S. intends to put human boots on the planet Venus by the year 2019 at the latest. This project is dubbed Dionysus.
January 11, 2015: You are selected by the I.S.S. as one of the astronauts to be sent to Venus. You begin extensive training for this mission.
April 16, 2018: Five astronauts that were selected for the Venus mission are sent into space on Dionysus 4.
April 30, 2018: Dionysus 4 sustains serious damage to its fuel tanks and is ordered to return to the I.S.S. immediately. The mission is aborted.
May 7, 2018: Dionysus 4 is unable to reach the I.S.S. as it is captured by the gravitational pull of a large nearby meteoroid and driven far off course. By the time it recovers from the meteoroid, it has lost its bearings.
May 21, 2018: Dionysus 4 has lost the last vestiges of its fuel by this point. Communications from the shuttle and her crew have all ceased, and the crew is given up for dead. In the public uproar following the incident, Dr. Daniel Lancaster, the longtime head of engineering sciences at the I.S.S., is forced to resign.
May 29, 2018: Dionysus 4, which has been drifting in space for the last week, is caught in the gravitational pull of an invisible black hole. It crosses the horizon line. The shuttle and her crew are nearly crushed before, by some chance miracle, it is ejected into space when the massive gravity of the black hole suddenly shifts.
June 8, 2018: The Dionysus 4 and her crew are caught once again in the gravitational pull of an alien planet, and bail out into seperate escape pods before crashlanding on the surface. ____________________ -----Registration-----

Actually, the way he said it was more like "But if I sense danger, I'm outta there." with a little sprinkle of "I told you so.", in which case.
I... eliminate the source? Before doing so, I try to make sure how many I am to shoot down.
It's going very nice, so far. It's just that it feels it's gotten a lot slower for me, at this time. It's, like, I've spent as much time doing things related to the alleged battle as I've spent before that, if not more.
2. I think you're doing rather well with the RPG. We're still in the early stages, so I think it should be picking up speed soon. I'm not complaining; I'm just saying that it's going at a nice, slow pace.

[Gah. This is not my strong point!]
I toss a stone to the Grazz's left, hoping to distract it just long enough to run toward it's right side and eventually it's back. I try to search for any weak spot to attack...

'Well, it'll have to do. I mean, you could just carry everything for us.'
The group laughs, but you can't tell if they're serious.
'It would appear you've arrived at a good time. We're split 50-50 about what we should hunt. We' He gestures towards a few others, 'Want to go hunt the Grazz. They're a bit bigger and more dangerous, but we'd only have to kill one. Those cowards over there' He point at the others, 'Want to go after smaller, safer prey. Deerie, to be exact.'

Ringo's brow furrows.
'Thats odd. We should go back. They could be swinging around to our flanks, and that would be nasty.'

You pick up a rock, and throw it to your left, before dashing right. The Grazz gets distracted, and you manage to get around to its back side. Its not very protected back here.
You also notice that the Grazz, is a 'Mr. Grazz'. __________ I apologize about the tardiness of my posting. I had a few things come up, and was too stressed out yesterday to do this. I could have, but then I would have killed you all off to make me feel better.

[Oh great, well his gender takes on thing off my list of fears.]
I'm probably going to die, but I grab the sharpest rock (of a decent size) that I can find and run a stab the Grazz's back. When it swings around I dodge and roll backwards.
[So, once I die, am I done with the game? That will stink...]

Once you die, you can never come back. When you're out of the blue, and into the black.
You pick up a decent sized rock, and attempt to stab it into the Grazz's back. You fail miserably, trip, and face plant the Grazz's manliness. (Gross!) Its in such an exposed and vunerable position...
The Grazz notices you again, and turns around, and roars into your face.
If that isn't obvious enough, then I don't know what else to do. -_-" __________ Leader Name: Tegael Leader Age: 21 Gender: Male Description: Slightly tall, of average build, short brown hair, blue eyes.

[I guess I now understand why. I was refusing to attack its most vulnerable area, because it was also the most disturbing...]
I try to throw another rock which will distract the Grazz so I can roll to the side, get under it and attack it's--you know--with the conveniently sharp rocks and sticks I find.
