Just a quick note before I pop off to bed and let people ponder on the info (yep, I know it's not much, though the Sherriff will have more, a lot of the questions you all happened to ask are designated to him to answer or help you with... Others, well you need to do the digging once there for the answers. ^^<br/><br/>So, the team was put together in a fortnight, as I assume some of you may have come from the inner asteroid belt or the inner planets aside from Mars and it takes a fortnight to get from one inner planet to another. 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. Assume you were chosen not only for talents but also you were the closest Wardens at hand at the time.<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/><br/>Sweet dreams... ;)
