  1. Hey oldies!

    My interest in Paradise has gone up and down but totally, I've racked up 620 hours since December 2019. A friend introduced me to SS13 and we played on TG servers from time to time. Kinda lost contact with him but I still had an interest in the game and well, Paradise was the most popular server at the time.

    At first I just enjoyed the mechanics of the game and wanted to be an engineer. I loved the absolute chaos some rounds could give. But the reason why I still play is probably roleplay and gimmicks. The game is just such a niché and although there is a lot of room for improvement, it is a breath of fresh air playing this hellish table-top-like game with 80 space wackos.

    My first character was Theodor Dryfus, just a random cargo dude trying his best in this weirld world. I didn't put much effort at the character, I think he was a smuggler from Mars or something. Fast forward to 2020 and I created my most well known character Jim Tate. At first he was very unpolished. I was like, an old unhinged SolGov veteran seems fun I guess? But I kinda couldn't let go and gradually improved on him over the past two years to something I am fairly proud of. Some dislike my style of RP but heck, I've befriended many along the way and a few OOCly. I'm content.

    I've had many interesting rounds over the years, but here are some memorable ones. One round I converted the abandoned office and opened Jim's Gentleman and Lady shop, for all your classy needs. Everyone would get top-notch service, trying out the latest fashion in a dressing room and once an outfit is perfected, they would get a picture hanged up marking their status as a proper gentleman/lady. It actually got pretty cramped at one point with a queue of customers outside, and even the captain and his blueshields showed up before a meeting with the NT rep.

    Another round, me and a space bud had a great time at the mechanic's workshop until a blob took over the station. In panic we crash landed our space pod at an USSP station, forcing Jim to his bitter past once more. We had no weapons. Through the dizzying corridors we ran from the shooting soldiers and managed to barricade ourselves at the geneticist. We tried to contact NT but to no avail. It ended in tradegy since Jim's friend bleed out on the cold metal floor, somewhat resembling how he lost his best friend in the marine corps... It was quite, dramatic. And of course there are many other stories, but this is getting a bit long.

    It sure is a trip down the memory lane.

    JIM TATE, NSS CYBERIAD

    Biography:

    Jim Tate started off in humble beginnings, in the rural outskirts of Earth, Northern Ireland. His hometown wasn’t particularly fancy or anywhere near the cityscape, though Jim could not complain. His parents, two bright entrepreneurs, owned a modest company in the region supplying BioTech solutions. And for some time, Jim even had an accompanying grandfather whom he loved dearly. Life was well. 

     

    The grandfather, also from the entrepreneurial roots, was now retired, wasting his hours in his workshop. Jim was fond of that place. He could stare with ardent interest on his grandfather messing with machines and the sort. Eventually, Jim got the gist of the thing too. That childhood curiosity sparked an interest that would last a lifetime. 

     

    Years passed, life was not so exciting any longer, but instead became more and more routine. Jim could not tolerate living such a petty life. He started to gaze outwards. In this period of teenage rebelhood, Jim befriended an amazing friend, Eamon. They did everything together. They had the same ardent passions. The two could’ve fallen off a cliff to save the other. Jim considered him a brother.

     

    Once they reached adulthood, Jim and Eamon finally set foot in the real world. Although they were rurals, they were still in TSF lands. They both agreed it would be ideal to fulfil their military service early on, and thus get full citizenship before entering some form of workforce. However the plan changed when their jaws dropped from excitement. They drafted into the marine engineers - It was everything a bored, engineer wannabe rural could’ve ever hoped for. 

     

    So instead they stuck around with the TSF marines, climbing the ranks, performing ever more fierce missions. It reached a point of them being in the CX5-Battalion, one of the highly prestigious divisions.

    INTERVIEW - 05/04/2508

    Interviewer: NAOMI MEYER, NMS Legoslov Head of Personnel

    Interviewee: JIM TATE

     

    TRANSCRIPT - **SKIPPED TO 0:40**:

    I don’t think you understand the position your in, Mr. Tate. Your family business has been cut down after BioTech got attacked by Cybersun goons. You're trying to find work after what happened at Sasha. We know why you’re here… so for the record, what happened at USSP Sasha?
    You hear fingers drumming on the table and Tate exhaling

    You know… I thought I was really doin’ somethin’ adventurous. After years of service I just couldn’t see the entire picture I suppose. I’ve been bloody riskin’ my life on a daily basis… god. I had luck for a while until that day. We infiltrated the station’s shafts, making our way to the engine room. All went fine and dandy until deafenin’ sounds of grenades run through my ear and I… noticed Eamon unconscious, all red with blood. I just 'em... panicked! I tried to rescue him but, as you can see, it only ended with a prosthetic.

    You hear mechanical switches as Tate shows his Bishop Cybernetic arm

    Doesn’t SolGov offer cloning technology for downed personnel?

    So they said, but the arsewipes in white cloaks messed something up. DNA calculator or somethin’ sciency acted the maggot. They do those sorts of things all the time and.. now it’s broken?! I- Pardon, I just can’t believe it…

    It’s alright, Mr. Tate. We can offer a therapist if you so request. I think we’re done for today.

     

    Jim Tate has been loyal to Nanotrasen from the start and is grateful for the life change. It’s been years since his employment at NMS Legoslov and he is now transferred to NSS Cyberiad. Over the years he’s befriended many and has become quite a regular. He has made peace with his past but reportedly still carries a picture of his best friend.

    ADDENDUM: CHIEF ENGINEER NOTES

    If you ever see an old tea addict that calls you a youngster, even if you’re an adult, well, you now know who it is. Tate always lifts up the mood in our department. Heck, last week during an SM malfunction he screamed “Oho! What’s up with the mood youngsters, time for marshmallows!”... that nutcase sure can make any situation a bit more enjoyable.
     

    It’s heartbreaking his status in Nanotrasen is reduced to EMERITUS ENGINEER but happy times always have an end. If you’re lucky to meet with this old grandpa, be sure to ask for a tea party… always a blast.


    His last request was for me to ask command to remove MICHAEL BOVINE‘s security records, which are… twenty-three pages. And secondly to increase the budget on AUTUMN AGGLEY‘s library fund. Have a “Oho! Jolly time!”, my friend.

  3. I sometimes do meat/sushi bars and I need a grill if I do, atm I have to go to the kitchen or find one in maints. It seems oven circuits doesn't exist ( Trying to find em' ) or a construction guide. Maybe I am blind but if I am not please add a way to build ovens. Many thanks 😄
