Day6/7: Thurs-Fri Aug 22-23: Lighting League Elimination Matches (1/31-2/5)

The weather stays cloudy and breezy over the last two days, with hints of sunlight that slowly fade by the end of Friday, cloud cover thickening and again threatening rain.

SPECIAL RULES: This hybrid day covers two IC days (day 6 and day 7), but characters will recover edge between 6 and 7, and heal with each day transition.

Events:
Arena Matches: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=180

-- Day 7 will initially not be available until the first arena round ends, so characters should only post their D6 threads.

--- Gossip D6 ---

Nora: Hey... Yuri. I was thinking after the sale, maybe we could take a little time off? We're always working such long hours, we haven't taken a real break in weeks.
Yuri: You're right, I've really been asking too much of you. I'm sorry... listen, take the day off, I'll take care of the mech inspections today, you don't need to worry about it.
Nora: Well, I though you haven't taken much time off either, so you should definitely take a break...
Yuri: Don't worry about me, I can take care of things. I know you normally have to work too hard taking care of things, go enjoy your time off!
Nora: No, I really think you should also take some time off...
Yuri: I insist! Go on. Have some fun!
Nora: ... You Idiot!
Yuri: Wait, where are you going? What... what did I say?

Beggar: I'd avoid the Last chancerdome...
Beggar 2: What, Why? You trying to claim a spot, eh?
Beggar: No, I've just been seeing some strange characters hanging about. Dangerous looking types. I think things may get bad...

'Have you heard about that announcement being planned in Black Hills?'
"No... but I guess that might explain all that security, if some big event is in the works...'
'Yeah, though I wonder what it could be?'
'Either way, I'm just glad I can get back to my normal deliveries. I've had some weirdos following my route lately, and I just want things to go back to normal...'

--- Headlines D6 ---

After denying that they are doing arms deals with the Free Worlds League, the Draconis Combine has drawn condemnation from the Federated Commonwealth by announcing that they will be purchasing the lion's share of the new Oni model battlemechs from the periphery based 'Rime Industrial Concern' which has caused some controversy given its connection to the Winter's family of Lyran aristocracy. The family has denied all requests for comment. The Free Worlds League has applauded the purchase as a sensible move which improves the parity of international powers as a stepping stone toward peace.

Authorities in the Draconis Combine have denied reports of rebellious activities in the ranks of the DCMS, but unconfirmed reports state that some units have been moving without direction from high command, creating concern about where those units are headed, and what they are planning to do.

Players can make D7 threads.

Astech: Amali is really just incredible - the way she moves those toolkits on her own... I'm pretty sure I'd be crushed to death if I tried.
Astech 2: You would. I checked and they're over a hundred pounds each - we used to use a plate-mover to carry the boxes, at my last job.
Astech: What on earth did her parents feed her? It couldn't have been natural.
Astech 2: Shut up! Here she comes!

Kamaitachi: Did you see? Nora and Creed were talking, and now she's smiling. It's kind of a creepy smile too.
Grendel: ...
Kamaitachi: Creed looked like he was going to fall down after - wonder if they'll end up a thing, like Red and Blue.
Grendel: ...
Kamaitachi: Maybe that's the secret to running one of these joints, becoming a power couple...
Rusalka: Will you shut up!?

The Lightning League sees a number of greenhorns making the cut - it looks like the arena is seeing a real influx of quality pilots in this event. Is this a sign that Solaris should hold more open qualifiers, or is this an aberration? Opinions vary, hear more from our panel on page 3.

The sale of the oni model mechs won't be confirmed until after they leave Fedcom space, but it seems the plan to sell to the Combine is well established at this stage - prompting some calls for the machines to be impounded by Fedcom authorities before they leave Fedcom borders. So far, this is nothing but public outcry, but it may necessitate private shipping of the Oni machines.

The Fedcom embassies have stated there will be a public announcement on Sunday evening. They're tight-lipped on specifics for now, prompting numerous rumors about what could be planned.
