Why not? Noire is fun
The obvious one was going to be that Kiti was going to be sleeping with Tashe as a way of keeping tabs on her. She was going to wind up being Kintukin's agent, making sure Tashe didn't do anything that would cause problems for Usu.
Usu's interest in the drive wasn't going to be anything related to the Oster deal like it was believed, but was simply going to be a way of keeping footage of his son's proclivities (namely, really really masochistic sexual tendencies) under wraps so that he wouldn't lose prestige in the Senate.
Tashe's partner Sha was going to be the killer who had taken the disk, as he was a dirty cop. He was also going to try and kill Tashe and Tashe's favour for the Javieran was going to be to put Sha down. The Javieran didn't broke betrayal.
Those were the major ones.
Dormill and Stiura, Wellsia, and Almorea
Those would’ve been awesome. Hopefully there’ll be a taste for a new noire RP in the future to replace this.
I just think I didn't do a good job of directing the plot. The format is also really hard to maintain pace for: noir is a lot of talking, and conversations can be hard to RP.

The Thunderbolt missiles are Coalition of Six (C6) surface ship and submarine-launched anti-ship and coastal anti ship (AShM) and land attack cruise missiles (LACM) developed by the C6 nations (Covonant, 
Noronica, 
Keomora, 
Wellsia, 
Domanania, Verona Beach and 
Athara Magarat) primarily for themselves and their allies and associates in the Joint Expeditionary Force and the Cooperative Union. Some derived export versions have a second stage that performs a supersonic sprint in the terminal approach to the target, reducing the time that target's defense systems have to react.
Design
The missile is designed to share common parts between the surface and submarine-launched variants but each missile consists of different components, for example, the booster. The missile can be launched from a surface ship using a Vertical Launch System (VLS). It has a booster with thrust vectoring capability. The missile launched from a submarine torpedo tube has no need for such an addition but has a conventional booster instead. The air launched version is held in a container that is dropped and the missile launches, detaching from the container.
Thunderbolt land attack versions in use by C6 nations have various claimed maximum ranges; it is believed that the conventionally armed version has a range of 660 km (410 mi).
All domestic and export variants of the Thunderbolt fly at sub-sonic speeds while achieving supersonic speed as they near their target. They are also capable of performing very high angled defensive high speed maneuvers in contrast to the common linear flight path of other anti-ship cruise missiles.
Operational history
Variants
Domestic variants are basic versions of this missile family; these are the Thunderbolt-I and its sister variants. The export models are the Thunderbolt-V and its sister variants. There are two major launch platforms: the Thunderbolt-Launcher, designed for use from submarines, and the Thunderbolt-Shooter, designed for surface ships. These two launch platforms can be equipped with the following warhead and guidance combinations:
Domestic variants
The term 'domestic variant' in this case refers to those variants of the Thunderbolt missile family made solely for use by C6, JEF and CU nations only.
Thunderbolt-I is an inertial guidance land-attack variant deployed by the C6, JEF and CU nations only. It can be launched from both a surface ship or a submarine with a VLS launched system and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 8.9 m (29 ft) with a 200 kg (440 lb) warhead. Its range is 660 km (410 mi). It is a sea-skimmer with supersonic terminal speed and a flight altitude of 4.6 meters (15 ft) at its final stage; its speed is then Mach 2.9.
Thunderbolt-II is an anti-shipping variant deployed by the C6, JEF and CU nations only. It can be launched from both a surface ship or a submarine with a VLS launched system and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 8.2 m (27 ft) with a 200 kg (440 lb) warhead. Its range is 660 km (410 mi). It is a sea-skimmer with supersonic terminal speed and a flight altitude of 4.6 meters (15 ft) at its final stage; its speed is then Mach 2.9.
Thunderbolt-III is an anti-shipping variant deployed by the C6, JEF and CU nations only, can be launched from both a surface ship or a submarine with a VLS launched system and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 8.9 m (29 ft) with a 200 kg (440 lb) warhead. It is a sea-skimmer with a subsonic terminal speed of 0.8 mach. It is also allegedly capable of disabling or even sinking an aircraft carrier, with a range of 300 km (190 mi) at supersonic speed.
Export variants
The term 'export variant' in this case refers to those variants of the Thunderbolt missile family made for exporting to all other nations outside the C6, the JEF and the CU. But even C6, JEF and CU nations are known to use some of these export variants, in particular the Thunderbolt-VIII anti-submarine variant.
Thunderbolt-IV is an inertial guidance land attack export variant. It is launched from a surface ship with VLS launched system and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 8.9 m (29 ft) with a 450 kg (990 lb) warhead. Its subsonic terminal speed is 0.8 mach, with a range of 300 km (190 mi) at supersonic speed.
Thunderbolt-V is an inertial guidance land attack export variant. It is launched from a submarine with VLS missile and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 6.2 m (20 ft), with a 450 kg (990 lb) warhead. Its range is 300 km (190 mi). It has a subsonic terminal speed of 0.8 mach.
Thunderbolt-VI is an anti-shipping export variant. It is launched from a surface ship with a VLS launched system and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 8.9 m (29 ft) with a with a 200 kg (440 lb) warhead. Its range is 220 km. It is a sea-skimmer with supersonic terminal speed of 2.9 mach and a flight altitude of 15 feet (4.6 m) at its final stage.
Thunderbolt-VII is an anti-shipping export variant. It is launched from a submarine with a VLS launched system and a thrust vectoring booster. Its basic length is 8.2 m (27 ft) with a with a 200 kg (440 lb) warhead. Its range is 220 km. It is a sea-skimmer with supersonic terminal speed of 2.9 mach and a flight altitude of 15 feet (4.6 m) at its final stage.
Thunderbolt-VIII is anti-submarine variant which can be launched from both a surface ship or a submarine with a VLS launched system and a thrust booster. It consists of three stages, one booster with thrust vector nozzle, one solid booster with four grid fins, and one anti-submarine light torpedo. Its basic length is 8.9 m (29 ft) with a 76 kg (168 lb) warhead. The torpedo has a range of 50 km (31 mi) at supersonic speed of Mach 2. At 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) launch weight, lightest of all variants.

I made this for the C6 (and CU). Both organizations are kind of defunct now.
AM alone is not capable of making such missiles and with that treaty thing; even less so.
If Domanania or Noronica refuse, I guess anyone who wants this can now claim this dispatch as theirs.
I thought Holi was a day before...
But nevermind, Happy Holi!
Rather be best to use a tomahawk for that warhead to weight ratio
Anyone else hype for WoW Classic?
Not really. I liked the changes up until pandaria. Cataclysm was the best expansion
If it’s any consolation, I loved the posts in Rabbithole and was engrossed in the story. You are a fantastic story-teller, I think as Ostehaar was inactive for a bit and I had a host of problems including another RP, it lost traction. I’ll admit that I was a little stuck with how to proceed, but I would have been willing to keep it going to get an ending for it.
