Befriending Sci-Fi is not a very hard thing to do. It's putting up with his obsession over electronics that makes people stay away from him. He has no sense of humor and would rather talk about the latest technology in integrated circuits and complex optics. However, when it comes to using his laser rifle, his teammates not only rely on him to hold his ground for the weapon to make its effect on the enemy, they trust him. His concentration is very intense that it must take an earthquake to knock him off his target.
History[]
Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:[]
Born in Geraldine, Montana, in 1966, Sci-Fi was fascinated by electronics and became involved in the Army's most advanced weapons once he enlisted, including laser rifles. He later returned to school to get his masters degree in electronic engineering. His senior thesis -- a sophisticated security system that incorporated the remote targeting sensor from a laser weapon -- was so impressive that it was adopted by NASA. Sci-Fi eventually joined the G.I. Joe team where he used the Army's latest laser rifle. Sci-Fi joined the team shortly after the new Pit III headquarters was established in Utah. He participated in several missions with the Joes, including a mission on board the Defiant space shuttle, before taking part in the Cobra Island civil war. He was one of the many Joes arrested after the war when Hawk and the team were wrongly accused of acting without authorization.
Sci-Fi continued on the team for years before joining the short-lived Star Brigade in a space mission with former members of the Oktober Guard. The team fought old Soviet worker drones on an asteroid to stop it from colliding with the Earth. Not long after, the Joe team was shut down. Sci-Fi then returned to school to obtain his doctorate and became a professor.
MUX History:[]
Spike and Sci-Fi
Sci-Fi rejoined G.I. Joe when they were reformed in 1997, accepting a promotion to Captain. In a chance encounter at a comic book store, Spike Witwicky encountered Seymour Fine (Sci-Fi). The two formed a fast friendship and now the Witwicky household considers Mr. Fine part of the family.
In the early 2000s, Sci-Fi pushed to have the Starfighter program re-started, perhaps with the assistance of Autobot technology. With the shutdown of the US Space Shuttle program in 2011, leaving only the Crusader in service, there has been a renewed push to restart the Starfighter program.
Over Kill and Sci-Fi later stole a Stellar Stiletto when Sci-Fi was captured by Cobra. To prevent Sci-Fi from being executed or further harmed, Over Kill had a BAT fly him into space and land it in Joe safe terroritory. Sci-Fi modified the stolen Stiletto into the first Starfighter flying prototype.
Another time Sci-Fi was injured and assumed KIA but OK patched up Sci-Fi while he was in Version 2 armor so he woke up thinking he was a Borg because he had sustained some head trauma. This Version 2.0, is what Sci-Fi later refers to as his 'Deathlok' armor as a result of the life support modifications. Stephen (Over Kill's human person at the time) had convinced Seymour that OK was Locotus and Seymour was Hue the Borg so they were not supposed to harm humans. Poor OK escorted SF to Spike's house and was like, "Shhh. I am not here. Do not call the police. Take care of our friend." and Spike was like, "Dammit, Seymour. Before you do this shit, at least let me have a cup of coffee so I can deal with this." Spike had a lot of explaining to do.
Sci-Fi has begun dating Wraith circa 2008. The couple is as awkward as the two of them both have interesting social cues and try to keep each other as grounded as possible. They may have had some miscommunications before about their intentions for each other but they currently happily engaged.
In 2021, Sci-Fi was sent with a team of Joes to Nebulos. In February 2022, Seymour became the acting director for R&D at the Pit.
In 2022, Sci-Fi returned to Earth, crashlanding the Starship Velociraptor there in the process.
In 2023, Duke sent Sci-Fi back to Nebulos, as head of the Joes' R&D team there, to work with the Nebulans.
SCI-FI Through Out The Years[]
Seymour Fine as a kid. He spent much of his childhood and teenage years competing in science fairs and different clubs at school. He did not social with others outside of these activities.
Seymour entered college and joined up with the military as well as G.I. Joe rather early. With his dedication to lasers, he has found himself fortunate as he has worked with NASA as well.
Sci-Fi has been active with the GI Joes for quite sometime. He has been in space and done several missions as well as training and activities .
Seymour Fine has been in space with for activities such as NASA missions, secret Star Brigade actions with GI Joe, as well as currently an endeavor on Nebulos.
OOC Notes[]
On the MUX, Sci-Fi has been promoted to Captain.

Oct 11 - WTF! Sci-Fi In Space[]
Video message with the GI Joe logo that spins into a ‘WTF!’ text logo.... It then slides into text: "We’ve got a chance to think about what the problems might be in outer space before we go there." - Charles Cockell
- The video image is of Seymour Fine; in his original neon green attire as he pats the camera; “Thanks for recording, Egon.” He looks a little confident. “Design ideas on our equipment to prevent HIVE interference has been implemented. I have added a manual switch to all fuel tanks, batteries, and such to prevent vehicles from being powered and controlled remotely. It’s a simple lever but it’s a failsafe for now. Should a vehicle or equipment go awry, we, in theory, should be able to easily disconnect it from the fuel or energy source.” He demonstrates the switch being used. “Without the energy being able to switch over into the vehicle, we should be able to use it as a ‘kill switch’ when the Sith hits the fan.” He smiles slightly. “Sorry, Nazgul, but you’re getting these bad jokes in case this is one of the last or best takes I have while up here.” He then smiles, “Speaking of bad ideas...” He pulls out a bag of salt and vinegar chips. “
- In regards to the Zombie Transformers and Nebulon technology, we need to attempt to produce ethanoic acid; which fortunately is just CH3COOH... Also known as vinegar. We can attempt to make this acid as a weapon to rust through the stronger parts of the HIVE to potentially weaken them. Vinegar corrodes metals causes rusts, right?” He shrugs a little, “I also have been looking at the spare cans of break cleaner I brought with me for vehicle maintenance. You know, with the right idea...” Sci-Fi looks around, “Good, Hawk’s not here to stop me.” Seymour grins as he pulls out what looks like a glass jar. He then puts in some metal shavings and steadies a laser on it. A few seconds later, there’s a small explosion and metal crate has some noticeable damage as Seymour quickly quills the flame. “See, with a steady focused laser beam and these metal shavings... and some little chemical capsules I whipped up...Well, the laser beam focused on the jar... When I aim a laser at a capsule, the carbon nanotubes absorb the light, heating up the liquid inside and causing it to expand until it explodes.” There’s a cut scene of Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad saying, “Yeah, Science!” There’s another pause from Seymour.
- “Mercury. I don’t mean the god of wealth either. We need to change our rations. We need more water, fiber, and to properly use chelators. Fortunately, we have some canned beans and legumes that are loaded with Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid. Hell, if I can make some distilled alcohol, we can help purge Mercury poisoning in no time. I also studied Steve Wilk’s laser equipment where he made an edible laser, gin, and tonic all at the same time.” He scratches his head, “I guess that’s all the geek out I have for today’s episode of ‘WTF! Sci-Fi in Space?’ And remember, that’s ‘Well, That’s Fine!”
- Credits roll; ‘Well, That’s Fine! Is produced, directed, written, and acted out by Seymour Fine. This week’s edition is dedicated to the Letter H: For Nazgul. Camera work was done by WTF!’s own drone... Spengler-Bot!’

Dec 03 - "What a Fine Mess!"[]
From: M.P. Officer Stever Carter
To: G.I. Personnel
Subject: Seymour Fine
This morning, on December 3, 2021, an alarm was triggered near one of the secure sections. Upon investigation, we found Seymour Fine, aka Sci-Fi, injured at the location. Our medics verified his identity and he is in critical care presently. He is expected to make a recovery. He has wounds from what looks like an electrical accident. He is claiming some memory loss and has suggested things that do not make sense. We are uncertain if he was quoting Harry Potter as well with the randomness of his thoughts.
He stated that he is the real Seymour Fine and that there is an imposter posing as him. Upon further review, we are concerned because as far as we knew, Sci-Fi was onboard to pilot part of the space exploration to rescue Poise.
Sci-Fi is complying with our procedures and agreed to be placed in one of our secure locations for recovery and further investigations. Bloodwork and everything check out from our database. I am confused on this one and I hope we can get answers soon. I hope that if we were breached that our space-bound crew is secure without any issues and are able to handle what issues this is suggesting are going to happen. We are keeping two guards on duty with him to make sure he does not escape or act irrationally.
This one is out of my paygrade. If someone can handle this one with a better idea on how we can have two Seymour Fines, that would be much appreciated.

Dec 19 - Captured Tech[]
From: Sci-Fi
To: Staff
Subject: Captured Tech
- After further investigations and the ability to manipulate the technology, I believe we should be able to advance our current tech that we have with this new hardware that we now have access to. I do have reservations but I believe that now that we have a stronger fortification and the access to Hi-Q's Facility, we should focus on potentially advancing our gear. I am uncertain on how Spike will appreciate this decision as he is very reluctant. Once Red Spot and the others are able to make their landing, I hope to be able to further adapt this technology onto the experimental ECHO tank project. I believe that we might be able to pilot our very own G.I. Joe ‘transformer.’ We made a great victory though we need to consider that our presence will continue to draw the eye of other unfriendlies while we are here.

To: Command
65DaysOfStatic
- I’ve been playing with the alien technology and seem to have made reasonable prototype armors and weapons that we can use to turn the tide in our favor. Additionally, I am suggesting, based on a conversation with Spike, that we can, perhaps, advance our resources by getting my Starfighter... ‘Starship Velociraptor’ into orbit. Spike volunteered that he has a communicator that once we get in orbit, he can send a message off to the Autobots. By having the Autobots meet us in orbit; they are not violating their neutrality in this scenario but they can carry a message to Earth that we need assistance or that we are still currently alive. I believe that this will make getting assets secured and prepped much easier than continuing the static we have back home.
Additionally, I am concerned about the level of oxygen and supplies we have with our troops in orbit. We can use a refresher and I believe that this might be the best time to strategize and prepare for our next level of this... occupation. Additionally, I would like some new resources so we can perhaps ‘Exo-Squad’ ourselves through this. I understand that we have to logically do all of this but I am growing concerned of not seeing Earth soon. I have a pressing issue that must be addressed as soon as possible. I know we all do.

@Gears: If the damaged Warp Gate just needs a power supply available, I volunteer the Star Fighter to be refitted with a faraday cage and a Tesla Coil. If I can use my Star Fighter to bring your current reworked Warp Gate up, let’s do that first. Otherwise, I’m ready for some explosions in the sky
@Hawk: When do you want us to plan on getting this done? If I am going to disable the main Star Fighter, I need to make sure that I am all prepped to use the one I was going to have Red Spot test out.

From: Sci-Fi
To: Joe Command
The Warp Gate that Gears has supplied us is in position. Once we can have figured out how to fix the issues on our end, we should have full communication thanks to Mailman. But getting this up did not go as smooth as Zarak’s forces and those space pirates are now giving us more trouble. Will debrief in person after hopefully landing. Waiting for the Star Fighter to be properly triaged before we determine how bad this went. Gears, tell me the Warp Gate is functioning soon after all this. Attempting reentry with some concerns.
Jan 15- Updates and Clarifications[]
TO: Joe-Space-Command, Earth-Command, Starbrigade
FROM: Seymour "Sci-Fi" Fine
SUBJECT: Hopes and Expetations
Formal report from for once because a lot has happened with recent events that I want to make sure that Earth is involved with.
Starfighters: Wraith has been doing an amazing job working with the Earth based R&D on using the scrapped Starfighters I had left for future upgrades. She has been most impressive with learning how to use the 'Jester' model I had hoped to one day train her with. While it is a training version, it is still combat ready and armed with a reasonable arsenal. It can't compete against the Velociraptor but it handles better than the Cobra Stiletto that it once had. Congratulations on your promotion, Major Heather O'Leary! I hope announcing that is Fine one day.
Red Spot and I are continuing our work with 'Starlight Brigade' which is the unofficial work I've been doing on Starfighters since pretty much my time has began. We are are loosely working auto Autobots and other parties to potentially upgrade and improve the technology. I will be more than willing to explain this if it needs to be questioned as we are not sanctioned. I took full responsibility for any negative concerns that need to be addressed. We are working with our Earth partners to make sure that their work with and use of the Starfighters can help assist with potential issues that may arise.
Hi-Q has given a lot of great materials and resources to help us further our progress. I have been working with him on getting materials and overseeing reparis and upgrades
ROBO-JOE, Spike, and Red Spot have been doing impressive work the repairs.
Gears and myself helped get the the replacement Warp Gate up and running. Though, I did get banged up by the Space Pirates in the process. Speaking of which, what should we do with their Captain we have in custody?
Timmy "Mailman" Stanley is the person to thank for our communications being finally at full capacity.
Ozone and Sgt. Sideswipe deserve all the credit for keeping us alive. I cannot thank them enough. We cannot thank them enough.
Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, and Jinx have been handling the security detail and assessing potential threats. So far, Zarak's forces have not been able to give us much grief thanks to their efforts.
Lastly, General Hawk is pre-occupied with the locals and rebels to make sure that when we leave, they can handle this without it being a blunder.
- Looking forward to catching up in person with all of you,
- -Captain Seymour "Sci-Fi" Fine

We're losing our communications again. It was working but it seems like we will need to add in a booster or something. Perhaps Zarak is on to us. I'm going to try to break through and orbit the planet to investigate. I am starting to gather concern for the Starfighter's fuel supply.
May the Force be with you,

Jan 21 - Starbrigade Going Underwater Idea[]
To: Joe Command
From: s.fine
Proposal: Submarine Aircraft Carrier. While the concept of a Helicarrier is tempting, I am looking for something that is not as impossible; I am looking into the idea of a submarine aircraft carrier such as an updated HMS M2 for the Starfighters and future versions. During World War I and World War II, they were designed and used to launch planes and attempted helicopters. Reviewing these plans, blueprints, specs, I am proposing to recreate one with an obviously updated system so the Starfighters can be launched from the ocean without giving specifics of our location.
This should help provide a cover on where and when we launch as Cobra is also in a new space race with us. Additionally, I would like to use a normal barge to help mask and restock this submarine. Think Mobro 4000 as a cover. Materials and resources can be shipped into the garbage barge and then transferred, discreetly, into the submarine. Additionally, these large barges can be used to help mask a facility where we are building new Starfighters.
With a mobile facility and launching pad, Cobra will not be sure of where we are. I can draw up better designs once home.
Jan 24 - Wreckage Systems[]
>*Audio Only*< "During an effort to overclock and overhaul the Velociraptor, I have managed to sustain severe damage in different areas. I used suppresssive fire on several targets that could try to object to our potential return to Earth. Velociraptor remains operational but integrity has been compromised. Will address primary objectives as priorities. Secondaries will be monitired and given concern as needed. Injuries on person are manageable."
Jan 27 - Warp Gate Status[]
>*Garbled Audio*< "Managed to patch in and get the override bypassed. It took a few hours and I am running low on fuel and oxygen. If I land on this side of the gate, I'm never getting this Starfighter off the ground again. If I go through and head to Earth, I may be able to repair and help slow the destruction. I've made sure Red Spot can replace my presence for the Nebulos effort. To be honest, I am not even sure if the 'Raptor will be able to hold together enough for re-entry but it's worth the shot. I've lived a life surrounded by heroes, none bigger than all of you... We sign up to lose each other, to get close to good people and have them taken away. "
Jan 28 - Medical Report[]
Medical Report: Seymour Fine arrived yesterday after crashing his spaceship on the landing pad. He claims it counted as a proper landing however that is debatable. He had sustained injuries from whatever happened on the otherside of the Warp Gate. Upon review, which he refused until the MPs forced him to have the exam, Sci-Fi will be able to return to duty within a few days and then he should be on light duty.* He has bruises, some fractures, two broken ribs, and low blood pressure. He also sustained a head injury. We suggested that he stay overnight in our care and for observation however it appears that our patients recently do not listen to that advice.
>*Clarification: No, light duty does not refer to laser work. Please refer to OSHA's EEOC, 1996 definition.<

Subject: Starfighters and Upgrades?
We're getting there with the technology to be able to do more than just fly out from our orbit and everything. I am thinking we need to redo the Starfighter and think of a newer version similar to the X-Wing from Star Wars. Something newer to be able to work in our atmosphere and outside of our atmosphere. Once things calm down, I would like to request to work on this.

Repair parts have been fabricated and systems should be running at full. Tomorrow, I plan on testing out some new personnel gear. Red Spot and I myself have secured a small, off-site location for some projects.

Feb 02 - Starfighter Data[]
TO: Joe Command
As you know, much of the Starfighter program has been my tinkering and unapproved research that's been kept offsite. I am requesting that Ozone shuttles to Nebulos to relieve Red Spot to help me secure and relocate the data. The current location of this material may be compromised. This should be resolved in a fast turn-around time. I can explain on need-to-know basis.

With one member out on sick leave and OZONE handling the Nebulos situation, RED SPOT will be assisting on our space station with repairs. I will be taking DAISY with me to finalize the security of the offsite projects and to handle the NASA situation. This should have a 72 hour resolve. We are again spread thin with now fighting a few different fronts. I am still hoping to get more details on what came through that Warp Gate. Additionally, we will need to potentially get SGT. SLAUGHTER to help with the Nebulos recruits that are now enhanced. Due to potential risks, I will be on radio silence but will update as needed.
Feb 03 - re: Laser Communications Systems[]
To: Joe Command
From: Sci-Fi
Subject: re: Laser Communications Systems
In regards to Laser Communications Systems. Communication systems almost always break down into two parts: a transmitter and receiver. Laser communication systems are no different: the laser is the transmitter and a photo-resistor is used for the receiver. So this project is actually two circuits. I will be keeping both circuits very basic for this project.
PLH3D-15W utilizes blue laser light, whose absorption rate is much higher for many materials than CO2 laser light. These will need to be modified and arranged into a composite circle to create a relay system. Germanium photoconductors are among the best far-infrared available, and are used for infrared astronomy and infrared spectroscopy. Will need to create a shielding apparatus. Ambient light falling on the photoresistor can cause immediate failure. Operational amplifiers, comparators, transistors, resistors, and capacitors.
The best conductor of electricity is pure silver, but to no surprise, it is not one of the most commonly used metals to conduct electricity. The wide use of pure silver has a couple of drawbacks. First, it tends to tarnish with usage, which causes issues related to skin effect, i.e., the unequal distribution of current that can occur across high-frequency currents. The second drawback is the most obvious, it is simply too expensive to run silver wire through a building and is far more expensive than aluminum or copper. Aluminum is yet another metal known for its high conductivity of electricity. Though by volume its conductivity is only 60% of copper, by weight, one pound of aluminum has the electrical current-carrying capacity of two pounds of copper.
The Morpheus computer processor will also be key. Developed by a team at the University of Michigan, this Morpheus is a CPU that ingeniously protects against hacking attempts by using encryption that changes every few milliseconds, which prevents intruders from getting a fix on how a system is set up. This makes cracking the encryption nearly impossible and is sure to drive hackers crazy.
Merlin is a family of rocket engines developed by SpaceX for use on its Falcon 1, Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles. Merlin engines use RP-1 and liquid oxygen as rocket propellants in a gas-generator power cycle. Housing apparatus should be made from titanium and aluminum-coated polyimide.
For power, nickel-cadmium as these batteries are charged by solar cells that convert the solar energy to electricity. But Ni-Cad batteries eventually wear out and are not rechargeable. These can be secured by EaglePicher.
Additionally, to secure these resources without Cobra becoming aware, I would run these through a shell company that we have not used in a while. Langly Vision is a cable company, in theory, based out of Nebraska and run by Richard Langly and Melvin Frohike. John Fitzgerald Byers is employed by the Federal Communications Commission as a public affairs officer.
Despite current events, I will be able to continue on this project.
Feb 07 - Re: Re: Cobra Attacks[]
One of my reports I was suggesting of rebuilding and redesigning the Mobro 4000. Red Spot and I are looking into re-configuring a freighter with that idea. It is somewhere around in the reports. I can reach out to some contacts on this idea.
Feb 07 - R&D Monthly Report & Updates[]
From: Sci-Fi, Head of PIT R&D
To: Joe Command, Joe Staff
NebTech issues: Red Spot and I are going to tag work on them. I have something on the bench as we speak that I am going to use for cracking the code on these issues. Red Spot is concerned about the risk factors. I will be monitoring them as well.
Starbrigade: We will be attempting to recreate the Starfighter from scratch for future attempts of space travel. I am looking into the idea of a jetfighter than can leave our atmosphere and go through the Warp Gates as well as handle space travel.
Pit Security: We're looking into better infrared, tracking satellites, and measures to prevent Cobra from penatrating through our defenses.
Data Security: Red Spot and Concealer are proposing using a method to leak fake data into the dark web that we can use to track who accesses it as well as give conflicting data to prevent Cobra from properly using the data against us further. I can see if I can get some help from outside sources on this. Such as Buster Witwicky. I am sure with our knowledge of the Witwicky family, he will be happy to comply.
Finally, thank you for the concerns and suggestions of time off. I am not going to need it as I have a plan on that is more important.

Baroness once again visits Spike and Megan, this time Sci-Fi is there too.
Feb 08 - Compromised[]
To: Joe Command
From: Sci-Fi
I had asked to meet with Spike Witwicky this morning to go over some recent life events. As you are probably familiar with the fact that Spike and I were friends. During this quick meeting, we were visited by Baroness who revealed that she was aware of certain events and based on the conversation and Spike's reaction... I can painfully say that it appears as if Baroness and Spike are, as the idiom would express, in bed with each other. Spike has accepted a sum of money from Baroness for his daughter's future and in turn, the Baroness is somehow to be active in Megan Witwicky's life. I do not think this was a per chance meeting with Baroness as she stated that she knew personal details of my life. Given that the Pit attack was just after Mr. Witwicky was returned to Earth, I am concerned that Spike has been compromised.
In a short matter of time, within literally under two hours, I arranged to meet Witwicky. Baroness arrives within moments. Baroness and Spike talk about a trust fund. Baroness reveals that she knows information that I keep very close to the wire that only Joes or Spike would know. I am asking for Mainframe or Hacker to review my personal cell, my laptop, and other devices as I am not sure if Spike had access to my technology while on Nebulos.
Again, I have no crucial evidence other than this potentially isolated incident. However, Spike did not deny Baroness' financial involvement with the Witwicky family. I know that I've always viewed Spike as a friend but I can see that he is compromised now. I am not too sure to what extent. Can we somehow review financial transactions from about seven years ago?
The blows seem to keep coming... and I'm ready, and I'm willing, and I'm prepared to fight.

These details are sensitive and I am being as vague as possible to prevent any of this detail from falling into hands that we wish them not to be in.
With recent events and a security risk, I am asking to have my current information and status classified and set to a Need-To-Know level. I know I am not supposed to be on active duty yet but this incident needs to be handled as swiftly and delicate as possible. This also is concurrence with the Witwicky predicament and wish to handle these two as separate as possible.
The timing is shitty and I truly hate it but I am capable of handling this. I am including Red Spot in on this as I can trust him to handle and report to me as well as to those who need to know. I can inform him as well once Hawk allows.
I hope this doesn't go south. If it does, I can still handle this.

Officially back on duty and first thing is first... Over Kill is my number one target.
With the Space Laser project, I will have Red Spot tackle that as I have finished the specs and hardware. If the story is true that Baroness is undercover with NASA, Red Spot should be able to handle it. As he never has been of profile and is almost remarkably forgettable, he should be undetectable.
Cloudburst, also prepare to deploy with Red Spot. Let's test out that fancy degree in Aerospace Engineering.
We'll get back to the robot destruction. That's what Act III is for.

The hunt for Over Kill has been incomplete so far. On Sunday night, while setting up a location in the event of being needed as either a last stand or hideout, he had a few BATs ambush me. He seems like he's calculating my next moves before I even can act on them. This encounter was rather brutal but I was able to make it the 87th Medical Group and I am stationing myself with the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. I do not feel eased, though. I am concerned that this is more or less a game to him at this point.
I had tested against his BATs with my normal hardware. It was ineffective. I am questioning if the upgraded weapons will even help against these BATs. I am uncertain if I can even get to damage Over Kill based on how he is using his BATs as pawns against me this time.
McGuire AFB has assured me that the 305th Aerospace Medical Squadron is prepared to help on standby for this mission.
Over Kill was not in New Jersey when I was out there. Instead, he had his BATs waiting in a trap. While this version is definitely childlike in manners, his tactics are very cutthroat. We might want to reconsider how we do this mission.
We are spread thin at the present. We have a unit on Nebulos. A unit hunting down Baroness and NASA. We also have security issues to handle as we are shuffling troops to different bases to prevent Cobra from pinging all of us at once. Perhaps we table this assignment and see if we can get the armored Greenshirts trained to be BAT Stompers?

Mar 01 - Over Kill Encounter[]
Audio only.
- "Last evening, I was near Broca Beach to set up for the upcoming raid of the area. In the process of the prep work, I... I... encountered Over Kill. He seems to be personally interested in tracking me lately and calculating my next move. While I appreciate the attention, I am concerned as I am not particularly someone to be of note. We had an exchange in which he eventually backed off. I am concerned that this new game of cat and mouse is more than I am prepared for at this time."

Hawk, I have kept an eye and helped Ghost with some repairs on her location. I know we gave Ghost asylum but it appears as if she had to flee due to being hunted.

As suggested a few times, I will be at Nebulos until further notice. I will be available by radio and email only at select times. I will be asking Red Spot to handle my affairs on Earth during my leave. I will be with my Starfighter and hopefully updating the schematics. Please reach out to Red Spot for any technical or R&D issues. He will be able to reach me via the commslink I have for important issues. Information overload is a symptom of our desire to not focus on what's important. It's a choice.

Highly recommend this and I encourage all of Star brigade and R&D to be involved. Spirit, I appreciate you doing this. When you have time, I would not mind being on your schedule as I have some incidents I need to work through.
Thank you all,

Leave of Absence
I will be taking some time off to deal with some recent events that I have not been able to attend to.
The Starfighter Project has been upgraded. ‘Phantom Racer’ and ‘Starbug’ are both fully operational with their upgrades. I have grounded them until I return for further developments. Phantom Racer should be able to outrun anything Cobra can fly in space while Starbug is capable of handling her own at a slower speed.
If you need to reach me, I will be checking in electronically.
Live long and prosper,
Seymour Fine
Apr 21 - Nebulos Arrival[]
>*High Command Only*< "The updated Star Fighter has managed to arrive safely to Nebulos. I will be studying research as we had mentioned and due to the nature of this mission, I will be harder to reach via radio communications. I will be doing monthly check-ins.
May 09 - Nebulos Update[]
From: Sci-Fi
To: Command, Staff
I am still working and studying the NebTech with Hi-Q. Due to the nature of these long-range communications, I will only be able to securely send some messages as we do not want the Hive, Decepticons, or Cobra to intercept.
May 20 - Neb Update[]
To: Command, R&D
From: Sci-Fi
I have returned for a brief and short revisit to Earth. The war there is still going strong, and we do need to consider how to properly end it to prevent another lost cause. I am restocking supplies and heading back there shortly.
On a side note, I keep thinking that perhaps we could try to see if our former pilot, Lori Henshaw, is still there. I understand that she does have concerns and might be a valuable asset and ally to our warfront up there. I am also suggesting that perhaps our alt-universe EDC recruits might be a better team to handle what is happening.
