Good luck and God Bless.

Give 'em hell.

Mr. President · February 22, 2003, 01:03

See you soon, Sprayber.

Kassiopeia · February 22, 2003, 08:31

Good luck. Come back in one piece.

Lonestar · February 22, 2003, 18:14

Good Luck Sprayber.

Remember to duck!

-Lonestar, who's going to the Persian Gulf "No later than" May 8th.

Frankychan, you may want to read the latest post, as it involves the GHE.

Frankychan · March 2, 2003, 19:57

Just read it and I like. Now I gotta get back on the ball in BAC.

Working on a post to deal with the Drone ship in Hive space and also going to have a coupla diplomatic posts coming up as well.

Glad to see that somebody got off their ass and wrote up a post, even if it wasn't me.

Get off your lazy non-USN asses and write, blast it!

Frankychan · March 9, 2003, 21:42

Spooky, my first post in a looong time.

I'm starting to get back into the flow. But most of my post will probably be slow for now until I get the momentum back. Good to see your still here Lonestar, I thought you were gonna get shipped out.

BTW, what's "non-USN"?

GeneralTacticus · March 9, 2003, 21:44

Non-United States Navy, I believe.

Frankychan · March 9, 2003, 21:56

Thanks.

And good to see ya, Gen. Tacticus

GeneralTacticus · March 9, 2003, 23:42

Okay, now I've done a post of my own to move the Cadre situation along a bit too.

Was. Turns out there wasn't enough money in the budget to get my ass flown out to the ship (I'm an E-3), so I'm killing time here in Pensacola.

All the money's going to blowing stuff up!

Frankychan · March 12, 2003, 00:17

that sucks.

Mr. President · March 12, 2003, 05:20

Don't forget the money that's going to be ~~wasted~~ invested in reconstruction.

Somehow, I won't be as lucky when they fly my E-5 ass out of Fort Sill OK.

All of our M-16's, M-203's, and our two M60's are packed in the armory truck and ready to go. Our gear is on pallets and all that awaits is for Saturday to roll around and for us to drive out to Fort Sill. We will spend a week or so there getting even more gear, shots, and maybe some more NBC training. Then we will board the commerical jet chartered for the 224th and we will be on our way to Kuwait or Turkey for our first of many homes.

with any luck, you'll get there just in time for "occupation duty".

Hey guys! Post another addition!

Mr. President · March 13, 2003, 22:02

I can't promise anything . . .

Especially since the computer I use for my actual stuff is dead.

Sprayber · March 13, 2003, 23:42

I just wanted to make my last post in a BAC thread. I know its just a story but it is a story that for a while carried me to another place when my real life seemed to be crumbling around me. Through the joy of meeting my fiance to the pain of watching her die, BAC was always a backdrop that I used to write away the turmoil. I understand that in the course of my absence some or all of you all may drift away because of the pressures of real life or a lack of progress in BAC. That's ok. Perhaps in time it will rise back to full strenght.

BAC was never my story. It is the story of Franky, Mr. President, Kass, Sovereign, General Tac, History Guy, Lonestar, Silence, Cybergod and yes even Mellian and Alynzia. All Smac addics with a fertile imagination and a talent for sharing those imaginations. I for on am glad that you all shared.

If I were Marcus Kessel, I would maintain my firm Spartan exterior and simply go away to do my duty. But I am Chris Sprayberry, so I'll allow myself a smile and a small sense of pride at our accomplishment. Keep on writing in some form or another so I'll have plent of Smac stories to catch up on when I get back.

Frankychan · March 14, 2003, 14:00

Man....

I'm sorry that you gotta go. But when duty calls, you just gotta pick your self up and do your duty. We'll miss ya Sprayber so take care of yourself and keep on truckin'.

Kick a**.

Silence · March 15, 2003, 22:52

Er hello again.
;;puffs of smoke as Silence once again reappears;;

You got it. But AC-Fiction won't be the same without you. Nonetheless, we'll be here when you get back.

Mr. President · March 16, 2003, 02:22

Where ya been, Silence?

Silence · March 16, 2003, 19:23

I been mostly at Spacebattles and the Frontier which has been sucking up most of my time.

I kept on delaying comeing back becuase of each new crisis that would occur, and it was when I came across a google search of somebody asking where I was (from this forum) I decided I should make a post here to proove that I am not dead.

Which in the meantime I figured out what I am going to due to the Believers now.

Mr. President · March 17, 2003, 03:57

Cool.

When you say "The Frontier" you mean this place, right? I was thinking of joining, but I worried I'd be totally lost. I hate to ask a dumb question, but what goes on over there?

Silence · March 17, 2003, 13:11

Yes that would be the place.

What goes on over there? Well instead of a game of BAC in a single thread, there would be an entire forum devoted to it where each of the nations would have a thread for a budget, news, and miltary.

Then a conflict or a story would have its own thread as well.

Currently the Frontier has an open make your own race type of a game of Ad Astra which I haphep to be a moderator of.

http://www.tb3.org.uk/phpBB2/groupcp.php?g=689

It also has a game set in the battletech universe, and several geo-politcal days from various times in history to one set in current affairs.

Lonestar · March 17, 2003, 20:22

Silence, you registered with Stardestroyer.net yet?

Silence · March 18, 2003, 10:53

No not really, there is a Cult of Weber missionary over there anyway from what I saw.

I may in the future though.

Lonestar · March 18, 2003, 15:43

Bah, I do not care much for Weber. Give me Harry Turtledove anyday!
