Hm...<br/><br/>Okay, on the assumption that we'll wind up getting cash--or at least requipstion opertunites-in the game, I'll swtich out Carerful Shot for Tech Specialt, and take back Careful Shot at level 8.<br/><br/>As for starting, I have two thouhts.<br/><br/>One is that we start with our first meeting, spend a few posts each on it, then fast forewards to something attention grabbing.<br/><br/>The other is that we start ith a bang--"The pirates hve breched deck three!"--and flash back as we go to how we met.  AKA, llet's write both scenes you descibe simulatniously.
