Characters: .... the list is 30 people long! Do I really have to post them? If you have seen Action Man, you know who are in this, minus the new people...

he he, after talking to you guys I've now gotten into major fangirl mode and drawn lots of pics. And now I'm all hyper (thanks a lot) :P

... don't make me squee...

I'll show you after I find a place to scan it? I'm not THAT good at drawing, lol. Though I'm always wondering if I get the hair length right ^_^ And I can’t draw people with strange hair styles *coughcoughtempestcough* Also it's in anime/manga style so they don't look the same as in the cartoon (well, they do but at the same time don't.. if that makes any sense)

*is now really hyper about the next part* Though it kinda made me laugh when I got the image of Alex attacking people without meaning to.

Alex: *attacks fan* Sorry! I’m so sorry!

Fan: *decides Alex is crazy and runs away*

It also made me wonder where Winifred was hiding all the time. It's not as though she has a lot of money (if any at all) and her pet kinda doesn't fit in. *laughs* Maybe someone gave her some money to stay out of sight with?

Kerro may not be able to tell secrets, but I can because I am the sim GM muahaha!!! (rubs hands together evilly)

First, I should explain why The Rteurn was taken down in the first place. The sim only had two people, myself and Nerys. Unfortunately I was moving all over the country and that kind of put a hold on the episodes we had in progress. Once I settled down it was Nerys' time to move, and we have had very rare contact with one another since then. Now Kerro has stepped in to take over Nerys' characters, and as such some of them have changed a little. Namely, Winifred. I won't say exactly how she change dbut I will say this: she is no longer ashamed of using her telepathy, and relies on it in everyday situations to get what she needs to survive away from the watchful eyes of X. She also doesn't call Tempest 'Templeton' anymore, which is good because he was going to shock her the moment she said it. He hates that name. XD

Ah, and the cast list! Let's see here...

Alex Mann, Tempest Storm, Grinder Sinclair, Rikki Syngh-Baines, Fidget Wilson, Vinnie and Alex's Bug and Asazi

Anna Syngh-Baines, Naomi and Dexter Storm, Brandon Caine (KIA atm)

Marian (off the ship since Brandon died), Everyone else's parents I forgot the names to, Nick Masters, and Nick Masters' Camera Bitches

Dr. X (all hail the Evil!), Dr. April Ryans, Gangrene (yes, he is coming back), Dimitri Istanvov, Alastair, and Dr. Nathaniel Keel (a new character)

Director Claire, Dr. Vandenburg, Agent Ruckins, Agent Smith (long story on this guy, but he won't die! argh!)

Of course, don't forget all of the recurring crossover guys like Paul and JC! I only listed 27 or so here, but the list goes on and on. Also, we have some nifty crossovers planned, including one with Half-Life (before Black Mesa blew up) and a sequel crossover to the very much ill-fated "Guns and Roses".

*bows to the GM*

LOL, I always wondered why Tempest never got mad at her, then I went though all the sims and noticed that when she calls him by his real name, Winifred is A) not near striking distance b) about to cry to blow a fuse or C) Tempest is not awake. :P Though I was kinda suprised she never used it to annoy him (when they where fighting that is)

Poor Guns and Roses, I don't think it ever got up, did it? And that one sim got crashed (the one where Brandon died) ^^

*stakes out the new sims now* mwahahahahahahaha!!!! Sorry, to much suger in my blood right now ^^

I think Winifred, for the most part, had too much respect for Tempest to use the name to piss him off. Yea he hated it and still does, but she was pretty good about knocking it off once he told her to. I think the only person who can get away with calling him anything other than 'Tempest' is Asazi, and she has her little nicknames for him (baby boy, little one, etc.). Those are just as embarrassing, lol. But you are right about Winifred never being close enough for him to retaliate! XD

"Guns and Roses" was turning out wonderful, but every time we started getting into the meat of the episode, Apoc would have a heart attack and crash. The logs were seldom recoverable so we started it again, and the same thing happened! If you want, I can post the jist of what happened so you will know what took place in that little chapter of Action Man: The Return. The sequel, which has no name as of yet, will have a third player by the name of Nova who will play five of the six crossover characters.

Things were calming down on the ship after months of dealing with the Council and InterCEPT nonstop. Tempest had become reclusive on the bridge, playing with improving the ship's systems, and trying to recreate the vortexes he had seen before. He knew the ship was capable of making one, just not determining where or when it went. Alex showed up on the bridge and distracted Tempest, allowing the vortex to become too strong and it grabbed hold of the ship. Chaos ensued... one of the turbines was knocked offline and massive amounts of damage was being reported from everywhere in the ship as it tumbled through space and time. As before, everyone blacked out.

Alex came to first, quickly waking Tempest and going on a manhunt around the ship to find the rest of Team Xtreme. No one was hurt except Fidget, who had a nasty bump to the head. Miraculously, most of the ship's damage had been undone during its trip through the vortex's wormhole. The turbine was still offline and some minor systems needed to be repaired, but Tempest figured out he could have Antioch flying in a matter of days. That is when he discovered the ship was nose-down in a massive sand dune, nearly buried halfway into the ground. The antigravity generators were offline, and the entire underside of the ship was in desperate need of repair before the bio-organic skin died off. If that happened, Antioch would never fly again.

Alex and Asazi decided to check out a few sensor blips that could be towns once everyone decided they must be on an alien world. They set out towards a little trading post, unaware someone was already watching them. A nasty bounty hunteress named Jane and her crew had spied the ship as it crashed. They knew such lost technology would be worth a fortune, and set out to capture it. They thought Alex was the one in charge, and followed him to town. There, through a very odd yet funny scene, Asazi met with Vash who was being cornered by bounty hunters and mercenaries. She helped, he said thanks, and they parted ways. A few minutes later Alex was the one in trouble, being threatened by Jane and her cronies to get in the truck or die. Vash returned the favor and saved them, warned them against the dangers of walking around without protection, and Alex and Asazi left to return to the ship.

Vash knew there was something odd about these people, walking out into the desert with no supplies or transportation, so he followed them to one of the stealth helicopters. He tried to sneak a ride on the belly, but Asazi found him and she told him to get in. Being the moron he is, Vash climbed inside and the three returned to the ship.

Jane attacked several time sover the next few days, but bullets and small rockets couldn't do much against the ship's armored hull. Tempest became pissed that someone was mercilessly beating on the ship, and once systems were back online he made it rise from the sand like a goliath. Antioch was still badly damaged but she could fly, and soared over the bounty huntress and her gang, leaving them pale and speechless. Tempest felt victorious, and ros ehigh into the atmosphere to escape the unbearable heat near the ground.

That is when the troublesome reactor turbine acted up again, in full-blown overload. Unable to shut it down from the bridge, Tempest ran down to engineering to try a manual override. When that didn't work either, he shouted for all hands to abandon ship. The reactor was going to blow, casting hundreds of tons of nuclear material into the air. The planet would be thrust into a nuclear winter, scoured of all life.

Vash refused to let this happen, and so dove *into* the reactor core. The mixing energies started another vortex that sucked in the ship, and once again everyone blacked out.

Tempest was the first to wake this time, and found not only did the overload stop but they were home! Several months had passed but they were back on Earth, hovering in the air above the Pacific. X had seen their return using long range scanners, and was interested in this new energy signature they carried... it was Vash's. He was intent on getting his hands on whatever this thing was, and harnessing its powers for his own purposes. Without giving them much chance, Archon swooped in and started pounding Antioch's already beaten hull. Tempest formed a storm that raged wildly, with winds in excess of 300 mph, lightning and hail. X didn't seem concerned... he enjoyed it, and created a storm to counter Tempest's. It was a fantastic battle of the forces of nature! The skies were black and clouds boiled, surrounding both ships in a blanket that sensors could not penetrate.

That is when X decided to use his big guns. Archon has six particle beam cannons mounted to the upper bow, and they emerged from panels in the hull as they started to glow. The storm Tempest had created was now feeding the weapons of destruction with its own energy, and the sky rapidly cleared to show what wa shappening. For once, Tempest did nothing but stare. he knew X was working on something like this, but he didn't think the project was completed... or that he would make six of them! he simply looked to Alex and told him they were screwed.

That is when the sky started changing colors, to a deep red. X watched as Antioch formed its own particle beam cannon, but this one was not mechanical. It was Vash and the Angel Arm, and it was powering up for a shot at Archon. Tempest completely spazzed, trying to get Vash to chill and get off the damn roof before he created a disaster. X would not back down and neither would the outlaw, and they headed right for a showdown of power.

X was about to fire when the cannons' energy levels started dropping. he traced the malfunction and saw that Vash was absorbing the power for his own use, and it finally dawned on X what kind of weapon this was. One that could output the strength of all six of his guns, and possibly more, and for once he felt as if he would die for making such a mistake. Tempest was unsuccessful in getting Vash to back down, and a fantastic beam of pure energy leaped from Antioch's armor-plated roof. The beam was precise, however, and aimed well. Archon's left wing and navigation sail were sliced from the ship and fell to the ocean below. The ship listed to one side before other systems took over, and she turned tail and limped away at high speed. X had seen the raw power of this weapon, and wanted it as his own. He vowed to get his hand son it someday, and when that day happened all of humanity would bow at his feet, yada yada. Serious monologing here.

A few days passed and Vash regained his strength. By then Tempest, and ironically Rikki, had found a way to create a vortex that would send the outlaw home... if a few days or years early or late. Vash accepted that and took the chance, leaping into the vortex once it finished forming. Tempest took the data on how to create one of the things and destroyed it, keeping the only surviving data in his mind.

Meanwhile, deep below the ocean's surface nearly two thousand miles away, Archon sat as trilobugs repaired the damage and formed new parts. X looke dover the sensor data from the fight, and planned changes to his own cannons to improve them. he also set sensors to alert him the moment that particular energy signature showed up again.

That is the jist of it. Kerro, I know this is also the first time you know what happened. There was also some funny stuff, like Asazi and Vash marvelling over one another's donut recipes. Lot of character building stuff and lots of comedy. No promises, but if I ever find the log pieces I'll post them. Also, whereas "Guns and Roses" had only Vash with the corssover, the cast for the sequel will be larger in that Knives, Wolfwood, Milly and Meryl will be included.

Guns and Roses was shot down way too many times, but I think the sequel will go off without a hitch. Unless, whatever cursed the original comes back. I'ma.... gonna bless the computer with holy water. Ya.

Well, I SHOULD have some of my art scanned this week, but my bud's doing it so I don't really know. I think I might have one or two of AM:TR pics (though I don't know if they're really that great) But you sounded intrested in them?

Please tell me if this isn't what she looks like, I'm trying to get the whole things right but I'm not sure if she looks right. Thanks ^_^

Of course... some people *cough cough* could start the website again :P

Akili-chan, I would love it if you could pretty please with peas on top send me the episodes, since my database isn't complete. An idea I have been playing with is to create a forum for TR on gaia.com and sim from there, since everyone can post whenever they are online and not worry about the constraints of IRC.

Next, whenever you deside to start again, you're gonna have to let me know so I can fangirl my butt over and drool (or something) with joy. Maybe I'll even make a few fanarts, find a place to scan them, and show them to you. (even though my art really sucks) And other fangirl stuff (heck, amybe even a fanfic... of AM:TR... sorry, I'm in hyper fan mode right now)

*gets on hands and knees and begs to be allowed into the guild*

I only have a couple.. Lets see... I have the Edios Arc, Relics, the one in which the Denton brothers first show up (sorry, i forgot the name), Eye of the Storm, Blood Relations, and the one after Brandon died...

Could you send Mirror Mirror to me? *puppy eyes* I really miss that one ^^; Though I wouldn't say no to having more of them on my hard drive....

Oh! And I did some somewhat good fanart, as soon as I find a scaner it'll be put up. Or maybe I'll just use my grandparent's digital camera.. anyways, it should be up this month or something (in case anyone cares, lol)

I'm, once again, not alowed to give details, but there are two new characters making an apperance, and They should be a lot of fun.

Great, you just made my day with that bit of news ^^;

I sort of started an AM:TR story.. and wished to know if it would be fine to show to some of my friends who want to see what I've written? I don't want to step on anyone's toes, so I figure it's better for me to ask. ^_^

I think I’m going to be writing it for a year now though, it’s somehow spawned into three stories instead of just one. >.<
