Think Tank V (I Think)
Hey, guys. For those of us working on Earthbound, I would like to hear your thoughts on me taking up the leadership position. If any of you would like to take over instead, I will willingly step down, but seeing that no one has stepped up yet (or, at the very least, I have not been tagged (or Prose's tag feature did not work) in a post from someone else who is wanting to take over the position), I will also gladly fill in the shoes left behind by our friends Danceinsilence and GLD. I will miss both of them dearly, as I am certain you guys will as well.
This is just an offer, and I do not think it is fair that I step up and take over without the consent of everyone else in the project. If you think someone is more capable, or if you would like to take over yourself, please say so. If you think it best, we can also put it to a vote, though I won't take it that far if it is just me and one other... I don't have a need for this position, LOL.
I will now leave behind what GLD included in her last Think Tank (the character outlines), and I will include the upcoming chapters and their due dates, as well as the completed chapters with their links.
The rest--whether everyone is okay with this change of command--can be discussed in the comments here. I am looking forward to keeping the project going with you guys, and I cannot wait to see how the story ends.

We will have to have someone take over GLD'S chapters, though I will see if she would like to write any of them. Maybe we can get one more chapter...
If any of you are unable to continue with the project or need to be moved around in the writing schedule, please let me know.
(Direct excerpt from GLD's Think Tank) As a reminder of who our characters are (taken from the prologue):
"Dale Caruthers is the onboard mechanic and all around Mr. Fix-it, inside or outside the ship. Strapping man, nearing forty, played college football at Ohio State as a tackle and still in good enough shape that he could knock you down in a heartbeat and never break a sweat."
"Jules Verone, a mild person with a penchant for archeology. Short, a bit on the heavy side, but rarely speaks unless spoken to, or has an interesting find."
"Brad Marconi, navigator and this is his eighth trip into space but the first, like Clint and the others, to have gone as far as they have. As Brad put it, “Virgin territory.” This is also Brad’s last sojourn as he plans to retire from NASA when he returns home. That is, if there still is a NASA."
"Margo Jessup. Teacher, archeologist, recorder. Divorced, late thirties, and at one time for a few years a professional wrestler if you can believe that one since she’s barely 5’4” and a hundred twenty on a rainy day. Jet black hair and deep set eyes though give her the appearance she could put you down easy enough—man or woman."
