blackpoint - the au community

Starfleet is under zombie attack. I repeat, Starfleet is under zombie attack. We've managed to barricade them from getting inside the buildings, but the numbers outside are growing to horde level.

We could use some help, superhero types.

:):):):):):)

I have a spaceship. Or, at least I will in about six to eight weeks once tests are complete.

[OOC: Post about 30 minutes before midnight. The vas Normandy-Shepards had a party! Everybody is invited!]

Dance party!

Shepard, I want to get new art for our house. Tasteful nudes. I think they'd be good blown up (haha get it?) and mounted (haha see) in the hallway. WHat do you think?


I'm also debating another tattoo. A beautiful butterfly emerging from a banshee's open mouth, with the banshee standing on a dinosaur carrying a shotgun??

Stuck in a squishy human body and dumped on a pre-space travel Earth. This wasn't how I planned on spending my vacation. But I guess I can't complain about the stupidity of five fingers when you're taking such good care of someone I thought I'd lost for good.



I can still complain about everything being archaic and slow, though, right? Good.

[OOC: EverybodyLives!AU Garrus!]

NOBODY MOVE, I MANAGED A SELF-SUSTAINING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN AN ENGINE DRIVE POWERED BY MATTER AND ANTIMATTER AND IT HASN'T EXPLODED yet


I'd still kill for some eezo but alkjsfallgjaljw warp drive step one. I NEED BIGGER COILS WHERE'S TESLA??

I overcompensated the amount of alcohol I need to get drunk in this body and now I have regrets. :(

So I've been keeping it quiet, but I started working on building up a proper Starfleet, as apparently that's what I did in some of the alternate Blackpoints. The investors were impressed by the Jaeger and the funding's finally coming through. It took nearly a year, but I'm finally able to buy the building I need for this.


Now who wants to celebrate?

I never thought I'd have to create bio-amps for my own children so they don't accidentally destroy the house when they hit puberty. A three year old's temper tantrums are nothing to shake your head at, so I'm dreading teenage years.

I could use a medical doctor's help? Nurse? Someone really skilled in brains and neurological functions? We still have a few years before Karin's brain is going to be advanced enough to handle an implant, but I'm already getting worried about it.

And maybe someone with superpowers of lulling a toddler to sleep.

friends

easy meat

I still have no idea what to do with my hair or what the point of 10 fingers is, but at least I can walk without falling over. Now.

Ummm

Hello, humans? I'm Tali'Zorah nar Rayya and your technology is WAY worse than I was led to believe.

Mass Effect people - your stance on me fanboying over your new video game?

If I say hoverbike, you say.....?

I need a job. :(

And clothes. :(

Somebody put me in a plane before I go stir-crazy. Pilot/Avenger-for-hire.

TEXTS TO SHEPARD:

» Happy Birthday. :)
» I know I already told you that. But your gift came a little early and I got a delivery notice while I was out.
» Go check the front porch.

[OOC: In a tall box is a fully functioning N7 suit replica.]

Portals? Not as surprising as one would expect. Recognized by the left arm? Also not as surprising as I'd like it to be. But being told "great. another one" when I give my name and then the same response when I say I'm Captain America...

Seriously, people. What's with the collection going on here?






And can I have my guns back?

Wanted: Part-time nanny in NYC.

Must be able to handle a one year old that has the potential to levitate everything in the room when he throws a temper tantrum.

So, to make up for my utter uselessness yesterday, I did some research! As usual, most of it is probably totally irrelevant (but super badass), but I know Drunk Kira mentioned some soul/firefly stuff to Scott the other night, so I thought I’d follow up.

Basically, I looked for fireflies in various legends and mythologies to see if anything stuck out as useful. Here’s what I found! ( cut for length, not filtered )

Who: Tali'Zorah vas Normandy & Commander Shepard
When: Sunday, January, 19th 2014
Where: The beach
What: Family reunion/slash Shepard meets his son for the first time.
Rating: PG and fluffy with a side of minor angst.

( It occurred to him that they probably made quite the picture, out there on the beach, and David chortling laughter for no apparent reason only added to it. )

Snow in New York? I think we'll stay in Hawaii a few more days.

Hi! So, starting over. Fun. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Tali'Zorah vas Normandy - technically it's Tali'Shepard. but my husband normally goes by Shepard, so we negotiated. But everyone just calls me Tali! Anyway, I'm a Quarian. I was born a Quarian, that is, another race in this big open galaxy. We're part of a Migrant Fleet in the distant future. This isn't so strange for me because made human by the portal in 2012. But technically 12 years ago for me because

um. Portal magic.

The point of this rambling was that I'm an engineer, and back home (the other community) I owned a robotics business. I'm going to have to start over here, and I've already made some contacts for business partners and contracts, funding. I started it on my own but with already having a plan and possible funding, I'm going to need at least two employees to start. If anyone has engineering, robotics or electronic experience and is looking for a job in New York City, please contact me! It pays well. And you get my company! :)

The only catch is that we might be working out of a guest bedroom for a few weeks until I can set up a warehouse. I promise my kids don't bite. Much.

OH! If you're a hero/vigilante that needs tech, the sooner you pester me, the better!
