I'll make a list and go bullet point by bullet point.
@Nantei
The comment about drilling an IPC open was done in heat of the moment as a half-empty threat because the honor of Smoke's friend been insulted by, what at the time seems as, an IPC twat. At first i thought your RP'd it icly about being clueless about concept of heat of the moment, but now i suspect you're just not very bright. Apologies.
I am trying to curb down and improve my usage of abbreviations, but it's a tedious process since i type them in automatically. Reflexes. Apologies.
Yes i did run because i suspected a mommy's IPC will pull rank and commit "do me a favor because of my mommy who bought me" and a smart cookie knows when to bail.
Overall I only did research levels in RP twice - once for newbie scientist, another one for the other incident. Rest of it I am doing as LOOC, otherwise I declare state of cargonia and sec can come suck our KAs which we will buy from resources sold. That was a sarcasm also.
Additional note - just because you personally treat aurora as space melodrama - doesn't mean everyone does. I treat it more like a spess adventure trip.
Or if you really wanna get petty - how about the time when a rugged corporate lady which had to climb a corporate pole just to get to HoP kept having tea parties in the holodeck for several shifts straight? That's much more unrealistic than an ex-recon being a hothead.
@SatinsPristOTD
Volkov and Fumus are buddy cop marine duo. If i could rp both at the same time - i would. But we're not allowed to multijoin. And no, it wasn't recon spec-ops.
Volkov was getting his masters degree back on venus, while working as game designer in venus aux stuffs (one of thousands of tiny venusian companies specializing in entertainment) when army call came so he decided to join Solarian troops.
Fumus on the other hand was mostly a miner and an engineer rookie on Mars, and ended up in a small engineering corps detachment assigned as engi-wing for recon wing Volkov was in. That's how these chaps ended up knowing each other.
In one of the failed forward deployments during tau ceti occupation Volkov lost majority of his comrades. Including two IPCs which stood at the front line and were torn apart by enemy fire still covering the squad. After that and helping small remainder of the deployment team escape he was awarded with analogue of Call Of Duty medal for helping to save remainder of the squad and honorably discharged, sent to psychological care due to received PTSD. While under treatment he semi-remotely finished doing masters degree and rest of the education nescessary to apply as general R&D scientist.
Fumus, due to Volkov's wing being destroyed returned with remainder of his engi-wing to sol in a bit. After awhile he joined with Hephaestus and then helped Volkov out by recommending him once he mostly completed psychological treatment. They both ended up working in Hephaestus and then got transferred, at different times to Aurora. (and if other Volkov which is RD willing to rp being Volkov's uncle - i'll alter story a bit to count him in)
They both are loyal to each other and have their backs. Along with some recon knowledge with them, which helped Volkov with a secure transmission of docs if you have to rp-whine that deeply.
@Brutishcrab51
Yeah, so I did. I didn't actually hear the armed gunner report because i was busy RPing in the lab and missed it. And Janitor virtually climbed through me lab window, scrubbed me floor, then ripped my Solarian flag from the wall and called me solarian cunt. That sent Ignus into relative rage which is understandable.
@Dark1Star
Yeah and then what happened? Captain ordered a ton of armor for expedition and suddenly Normandy was all like "okay fine build it to me". Volkov knows what the hell he's doing and cares about productivity. Normandy did not and it clearly states in character file about short temper if productivity is lacking.
@LordPwner
I was a vampire that round and was *THIS CLOSE* to moidering you in the shuttle.
@Karolis2011
Once again apologies, i freaked out there because that was my third Active round as a vamp ever (five in total up to that point but two i just didn't bother), and i just didn't knew how to approach such RP. Besides a mod yelled at me earlier with PM to actually start Tatoring.
@NewOriginalSchwann
R&D kinda asked for those previously. Besides i saw others dragging thermal drills to R&D as well when playing as Volkov. Yahir was asked to do so as well. So stop being so sensitive about knowledge blocking because you cannot handle some inter-rp which isn't harmful and produces the worthless-most research (seriously, phoron 7 - 9 is empty research tree piece - there is nothing innit)
Finally
Yeah and i literally saw a bluespace technician there in booth of shutter control of arrivals at odin. So i yelled at him when he kept screwing with odin shutters.
And to re-iterate - not every character at Aurora you meet will be your version of a "normal human being" aka - a sheep which has fear of superiors and consequences as their MO. People have such qualities as sacrifice, heroism and being a hothead too.
