« on: August 27, 2006, 09:41 PM »Combat Chuck - Thanks for checking it out, don't worry about sounding like a broken record, I could read posts like yours all day.
I was actually going to take the capes off the Senate Guards and use them that way, but once I got my hands on a DS Gunner, it was a no-brainer. They couldn't have been more perfect.
CloneCommander Thanks for the great comments. As far as the heads go, I put the VOTC Han and Luke heads back on the figures they belong on, and I put the other DS gunner heads back on the Gunner figures for now.
I may display a Gunner with the Dozier head though.
Interesting story about the dios, I'm glad you mentioned them. They are the reason I finally got this PN done in the first place.
I probably had the idea for this story floating around in my head since last year, but I knew creating some sort of environment that looked like a jail would take alot of time and effort. I've never built any kind of dio before, so I had no idea where to even begin. I just kept putting it off, until I got a new Barbeque Grill for Father's Day. The grill came packed with unusually shaped styrafoam pieces. Right away I knew I had my jail.
I just painted the pieces grey, and kept switching them around to give the illusion of different areas of the building.
Quazar- Lucky for me I do not work there anymore, I stay home with my two kids full time now. Not even sure I will go back when they are in school full time, I may do something completely different. It was pretty difficult, and quite scary in the beginning, but after your first year, it's not so bad.
Thanks again for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Thanks again for all the support for my PN.
I can understand Quazars concern about the lack of comments in some of the threads, and I know the I myself am guilty of the same.
My take on it is this: We all know how time consuming it is to put together a PN, and unfortunately than cuts into time allowed for reading, and putting together a well thought out response to, other PN's. I find it impossible to read through a long PN and come up with an in depth comment, when I have work I need to do on my own.
I'd like to comment on every single PN I read, but I can barely find the time to just read them all.
One thing about the amount of traffic in the PN section, and this probably applies more to RS, than here:
Last year over at RS, when we had our higest amount of traffic toward PN's, it was because we had our one PN thread in the ROTS section. Which at that time was one of the busiest sections on the board. People would see that it was consently bumped to the front page, and always had 8, 10, 15 new posts, and though " hey, maybe I'll check out whats going on in here". We used to get a ton of new people dropping in and checking it out, and then getting hooked on the stories.
When we moved to our own section, thats when traffic started to slow down and we started seeing less and less feedback.
Not that theres anything wrong with our own section, I think it's great, but it's just not in the high traffic area like we were used to.
I guess that all applies more to RS though, I don't know the history of this section over here. I will say, however, that this PN section was a little tough to find at first. It took me awhile before I checked inside the customs section, and even then, I didn't expect to see a sub-section inside. Scrolled right by it at first.
Anyway, I totally see how minimal response can seem like lack of interest and be discouraging. When I did my Star Wars Bloopers over on RS, I was very aware of how many views I had and how many posts followed. I was actually very lucky with that one and got and incredible response, but if I hadn't, I know I'd have been extremely disappointed, and probably would think twice about putting in the time and effort on another one. What really helped me with that one was just getting the word out about it as much as I could. Putting the link in my signature got it out there alot, and I think I found an excuse to stick it in Wuhur's.
I really like what they used to do here by putting a little blurb on the front page, that was probably a HUGE help, and the threads in customs and site feedback are a great idea too.
Anything to get the word out.

Wow, thanks for the responses. Sorry I have been unable to reply until now, but I moved into a new house on Tuesday and have been without internet access, and only have limited access now.
Quazar - really appreciate the indepth reply, glad you liked it as much as you did. I completely understand where you're coming from regarding the traffic issue, and will address that in the other thread.
The entire idea came from my own experiences as a Correctional Officer, everything from the story, to the dialogue, to the characters is modeled after real life events.
I'm glad people seem to like Sgt. Dozier specifically, because that is an accurate portrayal of the real Sgt. Dozier. A tough as nails, no nonsense, by the book, type officer, who was a huge role model for me when I was new.
The jumpsuits......well, it wasn't that they were hard,
just time consuming. I think I made 23, and it took about 20 mins to do each one.
Again, thanks for taking the time to write up such a long response, very much appreciated.
Longhorn - Thanks again for the comments, I appreciate the fact that your always on the lookout for my PN's, no matter how far between they are.
Ewok - Thanks for checking it out, and for your advice that first night
I agree about the Epilogue, I wasn't very happy with the very last line.
The end of a shift is usually kind of uneventful, and I wanted to portray that, but I was looking for one last profound comment from Hollis there at the end, but I just couldn't come up with anything.
One thing I wanted to mention while I'm thinking of it,
no one brought up the use of the Death Star Gunners, which were a VERY, VERY last minute substitution. I mean VERY last minute. I had already started taking pictures with Blue royal guards as the officers when I found my first DS Gunner and just absolutely had to switch. They couldn't have been more perfect for this PN. Even down to the chest armour, which were very much like the stab proof vests we really did have to wear.
Luckily they came out at just the right time.
Again, much thanks to everyone who has taked the time to check out my PN.

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone.
Jedi Assassin --Thanks for checking it out both places, glad you enjoyed it.
Swede-- Thanks for the welcome. I knew there were alot of great PN's over here, so I wanted to see what the response to mine would be.
212th Battalion --Thanks man, appreciate the feedback.
Artoo --Ha Ha, glad you liked my "customs". I guess they technically ARE customs, just not very good ones. I could use a little practice in that area.
As far as the comedies I've done in the past, I've been told that they may not go over as well here on JD, so I think I'll just leave them where they are.
Thanks anyway.

Hollis & Graves meet up with Harrod & Cota on their way out of the jail
Hollis : What's up guys, how was your day?
Harrod : Great, we stood around in the yard guarding a wall, then stood around in the Feed-Up area, guarding ANOTHER wall...
-------------------------
Cota : Yeah, then after that, we got to guard the wall in the yard again.
What about you two, we heard you had some excitement today.
Graves : A little bit, but it was still an "Easy" day.
Harrod : So what do you think Hollis?
This ain't gonna be a bad job, huh?
We're gonna do our part for the Republic.
Hollis : You want to know what I think?
-------------------------
Hollis : I think they made a mistake sending us here.....
.....a big mistake.

Dozier : This is the box for this Tier, here's where you open the cells.
You open the box with the passkey, and you open the cells with these levers.
Same thing, red light-closed, green-open.
-------------------------
Sgt. Ham : What's up Doz, you babysittin'?
Dozier : Yeah,
Men, this is Sgt. Ham, he's going to take Ofcs Harrod & Cota to check out the Recreation Yard.
-------------------------
Ham : Come on, follow me.
Dozier : Hollis, Graves, you're coming with me to Central Store Room.
Duro Inmate : uhhh, could somebody open my cell?
-------------------------
Hollis : What's Central Store Room? I keep hearing that name.
Dozier : The post is actually called Central Store Room Gate, it's the worst post in the jail.
You guys will find yourselves there alot, all rookies do.
-------------------------
Graves : What's so bad about it?
Dozier : The Showers and the Laundry are down there, the Officer at that post has to watch those two areas, as well as control movement through the gate.
Alot of fights go on in the Showers and Laundry.
Plus it's downstairs, radios don't work so well down there.
Takes forever for people to respond.
It just sucks.
You guys will see, it....
-------------------------
conversation is interrupted by an urgent radio call
RADIO :
**ATTENTION ALL UNITS**
**ATTENTION ALL UNITS**
**BE ADVISED...WE HAVE A 10-13 IN J-DORM**
**A 10-13 IN J-DORM**
**MULTIPLE INMATES INVOLVED**
**ALL AVAILABLE UNITS RESPOND**
-------------------------
Dozier COME ON!!!!
The Radio, mostly quiet all day, suddenly explodes with traffic
RADIO :
**...OPEN THE WEST WING GRILL...**
**.....WE NEED THE NURSE IN J-DORM....**
**CENTER HALL TO ALL HOUSING AREAS....SECURE YOUR AREAS, HOLD ALL MOVEMENT**
-------------------------
Hollis : 10-13, that's a fight, isn't it?
Dozier : J-Dorm's right through here.....
RADIO :
**CENTER HALL TO ALL TIER OFFICERS.....LOCK YOUR TIERS DOWN....**

-------------------------
Sgt. Dozier and another officer, Ofc. Watts, head straight to break up the larger inmates
Hollis & Graves are directed to break up a smaller group
Dozier : YOU SEPARATE THOSE TWO!!!
-------------------------
Dozier & Watts quickly subdue the inmates
-------------------------
Hollis & Graves have a much harder time
Hollis : He won't let go...
Graves : aarrggghh...
Dozier : Just a sec, boys.
Let me show you a trick.
-------------------------
Dozier : Cover his eyes, and he lets go...
-------------------------
Dozier : ...see?
-------------------------
Hollis : Thanks man.
Ofc. Young : Hey Dozier,
there's something you need to see....
-------------------------
Ofc. Young leads the others to the J-Dorm bathroom to find.....
-------------------------
Hollis : Damn, what happened to that guy?
Dozier : Guess he pissed somebody off.
You notify Cap about this, Young?
Young : Yeah, he's on his way.
Graves : Is that his blood? Why is it bubbling like that?
Dozier : I don't know, but don't get it on you.
We're gonna need to get all these inmates out of this Dorm, Cap's gonna want to do an investigation.
Young, check with Sgt. Hayhurst, make sure he's got room on Lock-Up for those guys.
-------------------------
Dozier : I'm going to need you to pack up the belongings of all those inmates who are going on Lock-Up.
Pack it all up and inventory it.
Come with me, I'll get you a list of what they can have.
-------------------------
Dozier : Here are some boxes and a datapad.
When you're done, bring everything to Center Hall.
Think you can handle that?
Hollis : Yeah, we can handle it.
Dozier : Good, have fun.
-------------------------
Graves : You get the feeling that packing up inmates' stuff is another one of those crappy jobs?
Hollis : They've ALL been crappy jobs.
But yeah, you're right, I think we're going to be here awhile.
-------------------------
Later....much later
Dozier : heh,
I forgot about you two.
You finish that up yet?
Hollis : We just finished, that's everything right there.
-------------------------
Dozier : Alright, that's it.....you can go.
Graves : Go where?
Dozier : Home,
Shifts over. You guys made it through your first day.
Congratulations.
Maybe tomorrow wont be so easy on ya.

.....O.I.C. West Wing-Sgt. Hayhurst

Capt. Edwards : Well, well.
Nice of you to join us.
You men are late, I expect you here at the start of Roll Call, just like everyone else
Ofc. Hollis : Sorry Sir.
-------------------------
Capt. Edwards : That armour doesn't mean anything here, you'll be treated just like everyone else, and that includes arriving on time, do I make myself clear?
All : Yes Sir.
Capt. Edwards : You can leave those helmets here, I don't want to see them inside the jail.
--------------------------
Capt. Edwards : Sgt. Dozier, I want you to show these men around,
then split them up and send two to observe out in the yard with Sgt. Ham, and take two with you to Central Store Room.
You'll be in charge of these men today Sgt. Dozier.
Dozier : Yes Sir.
-------------------------
Capt. Edwards : ...welcome to the Annex, gentlemen.
Dismissed!
-------------------------
Dozier : How you doin'
..names Dozier. You guys were in the War I see,
Clones, huh?
Ofc Hollis : Yeah, I'm Commander....I mean Ofc. Hollis
This is Ofc. Graves, Ofc. Harrod & Ofc. Cota.
Graves, Harrod & Cota : Hey.
Dozier : What are those things on your belts?
Hollis : They WERE Ammo cartridges, they're empty now, all of them.
Dozier : Good,
You guys won't need all that armour here, just your chest plate from now on.
We all wear chest armour here in the Annex. They don't need it next door at C.C.I., but we do here.
Don't want anybody getting stabbed up.
You guys can leave the rest of that stuff at home tomorrow.
-------------------------
Hollis : So what's with that guy, he always like that?
Dozier : Who, Cap?
Captain Edwards is a good man to work for. You do your job, and you won't have no problems with him.
I'll tell you what, be glad you'll be on his shift and not Capt. Cheney's.
-------------------------
Hollis : Why is this place called the Annex?
It's not an annex to anything is it?
Dozier : Actually, it is.
About 7 years ago, the Dept.of Public Safety went to the Republic with a proposal for a new jail because of the overcrowding.
The Republic turned it down, said it was way too expensive.
But they DID approve an ANNEX to the existing jail.
-------------------------
Dozier : So Public Safety went ahead and built an entirely new jail, right next to the old one, and called it "The Annex".
C.C.I.-Annex.
Pretty slick, huh?
We're a completely separate jail from C.C.I.,
even have our own Director, but on paper we're just an annex.
Toughest jail on the planet too.
When they were stocking this place up with inmates, they took the worst criminals and shipped 'em over here.
Practically emptied out SuperMax, most of those guys are over here now.
Well men, here's our first stop....
-------------------------
....Center Hall.
-------------------------
Dozier : This is basically where the jail is run, you'll hear orders given by the Center Hall officer over the radio all day,
you also access the different areas of the jail through here.
Center Hall Control will let you through those gates to East Wing, over there West Wing, and those over there go to H, I and J-Dorms, as well as Central Store Room and M-Dorm.
Each of the wings have their own access to the yard.
Any inmate coming into Center Hall is to be shackeled.
No Exceptions.
-------------------------
Dozier : Follow me, I'll take you up on a Tier.
-------------------------
Dozier : Oh, let me show you this...
This is the passkey.
Ofc. Hollis : I thought that was a blaster.
-------------------------
Dozier : Noooo,
No weapons are allowed in the jail.
You don't want an inmate getting ahold of them do you?
This is what you need to open interior doors throughout the jail and the Tier Box.
Center Hall Control works the doors in Center Hall, but the passkey will work the rest of your inside doors.
It will also give you a readout of every inmate in the jail.
Name, number, where he belongs...
This does NOT leave your person.
You either hold it, or have it on your belt.
When you change shifts, you HAND IT to the officer releaving you.
Got it?
Hollis, Graves : Got it.
-------------------------
Dozier : Come on, Tiers are right this way.
-------------------------
Protocol Droid bumps into Ofc. Hollis
Hollis : Hey, What the....
-------------------------
Hollis : Stay the Hell away from me you Fility Droid!!!
-------------------------
Dozier : Man, What is WRONG with you?
Hollis : I don't want those things anywhere near me!
Dozier : You need to get over that crap right now, this ain't your damn war.
Those Protocol Droids work here in the jail, they ain't out to get you. So relax!
-------------------------
Hollis : Sorry man.
Dozier : Sheesh.....( shakes head )
come on, let's go.
-------------------------
Dozier : O.K., this is West Wing, Tier 3, B side.
You have 4 Tiers on each Wing, 2 sides to each Tier, an A side and a B side.
So this would be 3-B, get it? 3rd Tier, B-side, the other side would be 3-A.
Upstairs would be 4-A and 4-B, downstairs 2-A and 2-B.
First Floor is Lock-Up on the West side.
Hollis : Lock up?
Dozier : Yeah, Lock-Up, or Segregation. We'll show you that later.
Come on down the Tier...
-------------------------
Dozier : ....these are your cells, there are 149 on each side. Why 149 and not 150, I don't know....
Human Inmate : OOOOH, Look at the pretty new officers!!
Gotal Inmate : Yeah, I'm gonna peel the armour off that yellow one and **** him right in the Ass!!
-------------------------
Falleen Inmate : What are looking at tough guy?
Are you a bad ass solider? You wanna step to me bitch?
Arcona Inmate : Why the **** do they all look the same? and what's with that one in the back,
his armour ain't all dirty like the rest of 'em.
-------------------------
Shistavanen Inmate : Yeah, he must have been scared. He hung out in the back.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Is that what happened punk? You scared?
-------------------------
Devaronian Inmate : Hey Officer, don't pay them no mind.
Welcome to the Annex, my name's Ninevah...
extends hand to greet officer
-------------------------
ZAP
Ofc. Cota : AHHHH.....
Inmates : BWWAAHAAA HAA HAA HAA HAA
-------------------------
Dozier : What the?
What are you doing Cota?
Cota : I went to shake that inmates hand and something zapped me.
Dozier : Ray Shields, Cota.
The cells are equipped with ray sheilds, if you had been paying attention to me instead of the inmates you'd have heard what I said-
red light above the cell means shields are up-got it?
Cota : Yes sir.
Devaronian Inmate : heh heh heh
-------------------------
Dozier : Come on, let's go.
Devaronian Inmate : That was some funny ****.
Shistavanen Inmate : HA HA, Hey look at the bright side officer, you got some battle damage now!!!

Center Hall Control will let you through those gates to East Wing, over there West Wing, and those over there go to H, I and J-Dorms, as well as Central Store Room and M-Dorm.
Each of the wings have their own access to the yard.
Any inmate coming into Center Hall is to be shackeled.
No Exceptions.
-------------------------
Dozier : Follow me, I'll take you up on a Tier.
-------------------------
Dozier : Oh, let me show you this...
This is the passkey.
Ofc. Hollis : I thought that was a blaster.
-------------------------
Dozier : Noooo,
No weapons are allowed in the jail.
You don't want an inmate getting ahold of them do you?
This is what you need to open interior doors throughout the jail and the Tier Box.
Center Hall Control works the doors in Center Hall, but the passkey will work the rest of your inside doors.
It will also give you a readout of every inmate in the jail.
Name, number, where he belongs...
This does NOT leave your person.
You either hold it, or have it on your belt.
When you change shifts, you HAND IT to the officer releaving you.
Got it?
Hollis, Graves : Got it.
-------------------------
Dozier : Come on, Tiers are right this way.
-------------------------
Protocol Droid bumps into Ofc. Hollis
Hollis : Hey, What the....
-------------------------
Hollis : Stay the Hell away from me you Fility Droid!!!
-------------------------
Dozier : Man, What is WRONG with you?
Hollis : I don't want those things anywhere near me!
Dozier : You need to get over that crap right now, this ain't your damn war.
Those Protocol Droids work here in the jail, they ain't out to get you. So relax!
-------------------------
Hollis : Sorry man.
Dozier : Sheesh.....( shakes head )
come on, let's go.
-------------------------
Dozier : O.K., this is West Wing, Tier 3, B side.
You have 4 Tiers on each Wing, 2 sides to each Tier, an A side and a B side.
So this would be 3-B, get it? 3rd Tier, B-side, the other side would be 3-A.
Upstairs would be 4-A and 4-B, downstairs 2-A and 2-B.
First Floor is Lock-Up on the West side.
Hollis : Lock up?
Dozier : Yeah, Lock-Up, or Segregation. We'll show you that later.
Come on down the Tier...
-------------------------
Dozier : ....these are your cells, there are 149 on each side. Why 149 and not 150, I don't know....
Human Inmate : OOOOH, Look at the pretty new officers!!
Gotal Inmate : Yeah, I'm gonna peel the armour off that yellow one and **** him right in the Ass!!
-------------------------
Falleen Inmate : What are looking at tough guy?
Are you a bad ass solider? You wanna step to me bitch?
Arcona Inmate : Why the **** do they all look the same? and what's with that one in the back,
his armour ain't all dirty like the rest of 'em.
-------------------------
Shistavanen Inmate : Yeah, he must have been scared. He hung out in the back.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Is that what happened punk? You scared?
-------------------------
Devaronian Inmate : Hey Officer, don't pay them no mind.
Welcome to the Annex, my name's Ninevah...
extends hand to greet officer
-------------------------
ZAP
Ofc. Cota : AHHHH.....
Inmates : BWWAAHAAA HAA HAA HAA HAA
-------------------------
Dozier : What the?
What are you doing Cota?
Cota : I went to shake that inmates hand and something zapped me.
Dozier : Ray Shields, Cota.
The cells are equipped with ray sheilds, if you had been paying attention to me instead of the inmates you'd have heard what I said-
red light above the cell means shields are up-got it?
Cota : Yes sir.
Devaronian Inmate : heh heh heh
-------------------------
Dozier : Come on, let's go.
Devaronian Inmate : That was some funny ****.
Shistavanen Inmate : HA HA, Hey look at the bright side officer, you got some battle damage now!!!
Arcona Inmate : Ha Ha Ha, Welcome to the Annex Rookie!!!

Prologue
Not long after the beginning of the Clone Wars, the earliest Clone examples,
units that had been ready long before the conflict began, have already started to deteriorate.
Thinking these soliders are no longer of any use to the war effort,
the Republic has decided to reassign them to help out in other areas of public safety....
-------------------------
The Coruscant Correctional Institution-Annex....
--------------------
...the Director of the Coruscant Correctional Institution-Annex (CCI-X),
Commander Bishop Robinson, is distracted this morning.
He is expecting four new officers today.
But these officers were not hired by his department....they were assigned by the Republic....
-------------------------
CR-25R : Good morning sir,
It seems the new officers are arriving at Security Control.
Robinson : Yes......
Thank you CR, thank you.
(sigh) I guess we'll see how this goes, won't we?
CR-25R : Is something wrong sir?
It was my understanding that the Institution was in great need of new officers.
The Republic has been kind enough to re-assign some of it's soliders that are no longer needed for war.
-------------------------
Robinson : We are...
We're always in need of officers...
I just can't help thinking....
Y'know, we humans have a saying :
"Be careful what you wish for"
CR-25R : With all due respect sir, you humans have many sayings.
"Beggars can't be choosers" is another, I believe?
Robinson : Heh, heh, heh. You're right my friend.
You are very wise.
I know these are probably fine men, who have proved themselves in battle,
but for some reason......
-------------------------
.....I'm just not sure they can handle the Annex.

Paul,
now that EE has posted that information about the mail away GL stormtrooper, did you happen to notice if your figure came with a "tab" and where in the package was it?
Thanks
