I've already got cabin fever with you lot.

My vote will likely be for Blind Guardian. He/she is very suspicious.

This.

Sorry I was....erm, I was enforcing the laws to myself. I went to sleep before DL, in fact. But I'm up now and will be around (in some capacity) for the next hour or so.


So....if we're going to get out of this we need to charter a course toward some sort of authority (police, Shadow Proclamation, the Alliance, etc.). Assuming we can get moving, of course. But still, I want to be prepared in the instance that we can go somewhere. We don't need to be wasting time once we get ourselves mobile, not with these metamorphs skulking about. So I'll be in my bunk, chartering a course into the deep realms. (Don't even think about it.) I only have one question.

Which way's left?

I am making an unplanned change to the rules. I've already put this on the Admin thread, but I'm posting it here as well, just to make sure everyone sees it:

Reporting for duty.

Fascinating analysis so far, Chief Lottie, if a little verbose. A Funadalkn of Alpha Goombae VI probably would have summed up our situation with the single word Mourshput!.

But in case you haven't noticed it, being engrossed in testing the machinery, not only is the engine broke, but the Captain and Bones - er, Doctor Morsul I mean - have been brutally murdered, and according to that holographic message the Captain recorded before her death (I suppose you've all seen that?), we've been infiltrated by three Metamorph saboteurs posing as crewmembers. Any comments on that?

Our Security Officer at least seems to be trying to pinpoint the imposters - good. But would you please care to explain, Eomer, what in particular you find suspicious in Ensign Guardian's behaviour?

EDIT: the usual pedantic formatting.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I think it's perfectly obvious Pitchwife. I don't even blame the cabin fever. String him/her* up!

*a few people I'm not familiar with in this game so I'll be using 'him/her' until corrected.

[wilwarin538]

Hey everyone! I'd like to introduce you to my newest project! *points to odd looking robot standing beside her* His name is B.I.L.L.Y (Biomechanical Intelligent Lifeform Limited to Yelling). I wanted him to be a singing robot, but B.I.L.L.S. is a dumb name.

I'll be popping on randomly for the next few hours. Then I have to work. The DL is midnight for me so I'll have to vote a bit early, I'll basically come on for a couple minutes when I get home from work, right before I go to sleep. So toDay won't be the best day for me regarding participation.

I think it's interesting about the gifteds not being able to reveal. For the Hunter it's no big deal, I don't really think they should ever reveal themselves anyway. Kind of goes the same way for the Ranger in most cases. This will also save us from having to deal with false reveals, which is fantastic.

x'ed with Inzil and Eomer

[Inziladun]

Hmm. The priority here must remain getting the comm systems up. Communication with Terran Command is paramount. They must be advised of our situation.
The engines must be repaired also, Chief Engineer Lottie. Odd how that problem suddenly occurred out of nowhere. Any explanations for the cause of the engine issues?

That's a rather pointed accusation, Security Officer Eomer. I'd have wondered if you were merely making a joke, but I saw no trace of a smile when you uttered those words.

Unfortunate. That's going to make it very difficult for the Intel agents to save themselves under the threat of Metamorph plots to engineer suspicion against them.

Yes sir, Tech Izzy's already working on it. I'll check our supply of emergency beacons; hope those haven't been tampered with as well. Too bad we don't carry any hyperspace courier drones - too expensive for a ship of our class, I suppose.

Indeed. Also, it could have been quite an advantage for us if the Assassin could have revealed at a later time and tell us who has been hunted and survived, effectively giving us a few known innocents. Too bad, but it can't be helped.

Eomer - maybe it's obvious and I'm too daft to see it, or maybe it isn't, or maybe you haven't got anything and are just 'stirring the pot', or maybe... Which is it?

EDIT: fixed format again.

This. Nerwen's just balanced the game which seems fair to me. Wilwa's point is also good; though false reveals may be entertaining, it's fine that we won't have to worry about them.
