I'm not too sure what to do about drop-outs.<br/><br/>Like I said, I was going to move all the unused and/or dropped characters into the NPC thread. But if anyone would like to grab one of them, especially people with only one character right now, let me know.<br/><br/>The problem is that we actually filled the shuttle compliment with player characters, then closed recruitment and someone posted that the next shuttle wouldn't arrive until the following day.<br/><br/>At the time that seemed sensible, but in hindsight it would have been better to bring  the second shuttle down almost immediately, loaded with NPCs.<br/><br/>Because every person on the base at present has a name and a face. There are no unknown people...<br/><br/>So... we have three options:<br/><br/>1) We put all the unused characters into Habitat block 2 and have it blow up or something... I don't like the idea of this because it would make the mission an instant failure.<br/><br/>2) I take over the unused characters and NPC them.<br/><br/>3) We pretend they never were. This is the more usual approach, however it leaves some rather annoying loose ends.<br/><br/>As for the scene in the psychologists office, I suggest that Dasha and Prince continue it, god-modding Zillah's character as necessary, until Z feels like posting again.<br/><br/>She will be back. I know this!<br/><br/>
