Stuff's afoot on OtherSpace

We've run into a bit of a lull during the past few weeks on OtherSpace (jointhesaga.com 1790), but I think that's about to change.

1) Okaskatitch, the B'hiri ambassador, has arrived on Comorro Station and, after talking to several refugees, has come up with an idea to use the Harrower to travel back to normalspace to prevent the course of events that leads to the Kretonians invading the Orion Arm.

2) The crew of the Zero Gravitas went on a salvage mission to Rigor Strand. In the process, they pissed off the Medlidikke (bloodthirsty Hekayti pirates) and came away with a shadowy hitchhiker. From the pirate side of things, this incident sparked the creation of Vard Bokren, a cruel and ruthless leader of the Medlidikke who I'm hoping will become the new OtherSpace's answer to villains like Colin Neidermeyer and Majordomo Grim. (If you've ever watched Farscape, I'm looking to bring a Scorpius-like vibe to Vard.)

3) I'm trying - and I've encouraged other staffers - to schedule specific times on the +calendar when we'll have our characters on the grid and available for RP.
