Go ahead and post, I'm waiting for the story to open up a bit before I post again (either opened up a bit by you or another poster).
As for the Orz, I'm intending to leave them out of direct control. Manipulate them how you see fit in your posts, as long as you don't just write something like "they go home and eat some pie". They're there to be an antagonist to whomever and just keep things interesting. Same with the humans, basicly. I just had to get them into the sector. Feel free to do with them as you choose as long as, again, nothing too drastic happens.
I don't intend to fully control a second race (or even a second captain) in this thread. It might happen if the story warrants, but I'm not counting on that. Hell, I didn't even plan to bring in the Orz, but couldn't justify a single Androsynth Guardian taking out six alien ships (in other words I wrote myself into a corner and just found a fun way out). I figured that the Humans, being naturally nosey, would follow -- with their *older brothers* the Arilou popping in now and then.
