So, the call would have been made right soon after the message from Fielding was recieved, though transport would take a fortnight to collect the team. <strong>Assume you were chosen not only for talents but also you were the closest Wardens at hand at the time.</strong><br/><br/>This is not an uncommon occurance, the system is big and ships aren't too fast. A journey from Mars to Saturn can take about two months, for example. Earth to Uranus, over three months... when at their closest.<br/><br/>That it's taking this long isn't down to bureacratic incompetence and it's not the vibe I was going for... More the sense of dread that things <em>are</em> going as fast as possible and in the meantime, things are still hopelessly happening with hands tied. Isolation is a big part of what's happening. Your characters will know once dirtside and something bad happens, if they call backup, <em>they'll</em> be waiting a fortnight at least for people to show up...<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>It kind of has to be one or the other.  If they were the closest, then they weren't handpicked.  Also, if it takes two months to get to Mars from Saturn, where were our chars before they were summoned?  Apparently we all got there around the same time, which seemed intentional.<br/><br/>
