Hey Guys...<br/><br/>As anyone who's ever been a GM knows there are going to be NPC's that have some level of control over the game or the players actions who essentially are ways for the GM to pass information or guide the story without directly interjecting information to the players.  Most of the time these "blanks" are simply that.  They serve no purpose other than to be an information conduit and sometimes a convenient scapegoat when things get fucked up.  Cut Wargtass some slack and leave the whole Perkins thing alone.<br/><br/>Warg, as a balance to Perkins, I would see about finding a way to get Walt more involved in the day to day with the mechwarriors.  Coming from a background that understands a military command structure, seeing the commander interacting with the folks day to day and actually being a part of each mission will allow us to feel better about the leadership and will give you a chance to focus some of the character development on Walt and pull our attention from Perkins.  Maybe with a new doc on board we can find a quicker recovery for his neurological issues.<br/><br/>
