......UNEXPECTED ESCAPE OF LIFEFORM INTO SHIPS DUCTS....

WHEREABOUTS OF LIFEFORM UNKNOWN...CREW EXPENDABLE....THAT IS ALL...

SATURN CONTROL OUT....

THE RULES - PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELVES FULLY WITH THESE RULES BEFORE COMMENCING PLAY:

Before you start:

1- All players MUST open secondary Coming Soon accounts, if you don't have a second account, you won't be able to play - you may ONLY post here using your secondary accounts.

If you haven't already logged a game account then PM the details of name AND password to SATURN CONTROL.

REMEMBER: DON'T DISCUSS YOUR NEW IDENTITY PUBLICLY ON THE BOARDS, AND DON'T DISCUSS THEM WITH ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE PLAYING IN THIS GAME - WE ALL KNOW WHO'S PLAYING, BUT IT'D BE GOOD IF NONE OF US KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS PLAYING WHO DURING THE GAME - LET'S TRY TO KEEP THIS ANONYMOUS.

2- All players must have provided me (Longshanks) with their new log-on crew identity AND details of secondary CS account password before the game starts, you must agree to me passing these details on to the player who is chosen to play the KILLER BRAIN SLUG FROM OUTER SPACE and will be used ONLY when the Brain Slug takes over a player. A copy of all account details will also be passed on to FATHER.

3- Players MUST have PM enabled for their secondary accounts and should have the PM warning window activated. Players should also have their accounts set to 'Invisible' mode.

Once the game commences:

1- AS WITH THE PREVIOUS CCL GAME, ALL POSTS MUST BE HEADED WITH A BOLD LOCATION CODE AT THE TOP OF THE POST - LOCATION CODES ARE PRINTED ON THE MAP ABOVE -

Players are free to move around the map as they wish by just posting the appropriate code (unless FATHER or SATURN CONTROL lock down any of the ship's access codes for any reason during the course of the game).

2- If, during the course of the game, you receive a PM from the Space Slug (you'll know it's genuine because the poster will include your secret password details in the PM as proof), then you must IMMEDIATELY log off from that account to allow the Brain Slug to take on your on-screen identity. You will effectively be dead and have no further control over your in-game identity. (You will obviously be able to continue watching the thread via your normal accounts).

3-The Brain Slug will only be able to move a limited distance from it's previous host to infect a new player. Details of movement may be posted later once FATHER or SATURN CONTROL have determined more about this creature.

All Crew are welcome to discuss their suspicions publicly on the thread. Questions may be asked of both FATHER and SATURN CONTROL via the COMPUTER BAY in N - although the responses may be restricted by Corporation policy.

No Game accounts should be used to post outside this thread - CS will be watching.

FAQ - ALL THE BITS YOU'VE ASKED ABOUT:

Q: HOW DOES THE WHOLE BRAIN SLUG THING WORK?

A: This seems to have confused a few people. Let me assure everyone that there will be NO account titled 'Brain Slug' or anything like that.

I'm just using the handy Sci Fi staple of a mind-controlling parasite (ST - Wrath of Kahn/The Thing (sort of)/X-Files etc), to justify the concept of 'identity possession' within the context of the game. You will never see the Brain Slug as little critter scuttling around the ship - you'll only ever interact with the Slug (unwittingly if all goes well) when it's in control of one of the ship crew.

If it helps, you can think of the Brain Slug as invisible and non-corporeal, it's only ever active when it's in control of one of the crew.

To try to explain:

At the start of the game there will be about 20 posters, all playing one member of the crew each.

At the start of the game, one of those posters will already be under the control of the Brain Slug and that poster knows who they are because I've arranged this with them - we'll call that person BOB for now.

BOB will just be waiting for the opportunity to dump their original crew identity and take over a new member of the crew.

The first dead body you find will be the one that BOB was playing.

When BOB makes their move they will PM the next poster who's identity they wish to take over (we'll call that second poster BILL), and inform them that they must log off and cease playing.

BILL will no longer have control over his on-screen identity and will not be allowed to post again using that account.

BOB will then use BILL's account details to log back onto the thread and continue to play under the guise of BILL.
If all goes well, none of the remaining posters will realize that BILL's on-screen identity is now being written by BOB.

When BOB is ready, he/she will kill-off BILL's on-screen identity and take over the next poster's identity and so on and so on.

Eventually the crew numbers will reduce to the level where there may be only 5 or so of the original players/crew identities left in the game, BOB will still be one of them, but will have changed accounts many times to get to that point.
Each time the Brain Slug moves from one host to another, it will post a final post under it's previous identity detailing how the discarded husk of it's victim was discovered at it's last know location - this way, all remaining players will know who the Brain Slug was but will not know who's been infected next.

Q:WHAT HAPPENS IF I'M THE FIRST TO DIE? IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR IF I ONLY GET TO PLAY FOR A DAY OR SO?

A: The first 5 posters to have their identities taken over by BOB will be able to re-join the game if they wish, but only after BOB has finished with their account and moved on to the next identity.

Obviously each victim will know that their old identity is currently being played by BOB, but will just be able to watch as their old identity walks around under the control of someone else. Once BOB has moved on to a new account the original poster will be able to re-enter the game using a handy clone of themselves (same account, same on-screen identity as before).

There are only 5 clones, so once 5 players have re-entered the game all the subsequent dead will remain dead and the total crew numbers will reduce accordingly.

No players (not even R2-D2 ;) ) are immune to the effects of the Brain Slug - all players may be taken over.

Q:CAN WE SHOOT ANY SUSPECTED PLAYERS AND HOW DO WE 'WIN'?

A: I'm kind of loathe to have players taking pot-shots at each other, but I guess if you think you know who the slug is at any point then you should try to take some steps to protect yourself and kill it off - quite how you go about that is up to you.

No one will have personal weapons, and remember that all on-board weapons are code-locked by SATURN CONTROL (even the Sharp Sticks™ ) - NO PLAYER WILL BE ALOWED TO OVERRIDE FATHER OR SATURN CONTROL (otherwise chaos and mayhem ensue all too quickly :p )

But be warned - if you mistakenly get an innocent person then you've just committed murder, and the Corporation penalties are harsh for that sort of thing. (Also, don't forget that the Corporation wants this thing alive for their Bio-research dept, so they're not going to be particularly helpful in letting you squish it ).

I would guess that, failing the capture/destruction of the Slug, surviving into the last 5 would constitute a pretty sizeable win (and not being caught by the crew by that point would be a pretty sizeable achievement for the slug )

Q: HOW DO WE MOVE?

A: As with the first game, players (or 'crew') will be able to move freely about the ship , and as before, all posts MUST be headed with a BOLD location code at the top of every post (except those of FATHER and SATURN CONTROL) - just post a location and you'll be there.


Q: WHO'S IN CHARGE?

A:The Moderators for this new game will be: FATHER (the ship's computer system) and SATURN CONTROL (the Corporation Home Base - unfortunately subspace transmission distances will mean that messages to SATURN CONTROL will be subject to a delay in response).

All questions about the game should be addressed to either FATHER or SATURN CONTROL (Longshanks will be playing SATURN CONTROL).

SO TO RE-CAP:

1- Players may only post on the game thread using their secondary Coming Soon accounts.
2- Details of these accounts must be PM'd to me prior to the start of the game, and all players must be willing to give up the account when they die.
3- If you receive a PM from the Brain Slug then you must log-off immediately and let the Brain Slug assume your identity.
4- The first 5 victims of the Brain slug will be allowed to resume play once the Brain slug has left their body for dead (they may use their existing game accounts for a second go). Only the first 5 players may do this as there are only 5 places in the Cryo Bay, after this the crew reduces with each death.
5- Go for the clichés!


REMEMBER- THIS THREAD WILL ONLY START ONCE FATHER HAS POSTED THE FIRST MESSAGE ON MONDAY (ALL BEING WELL)

GOOD LUCK.
LONGSHANKS

[Longshanks]

I can confirm the start time as about 5.30pm Monday 8th - US time (central I guess?)

One additional request for the game is that all players should set their accounts for 'Invisible' mode in their options settings.

There are still some places left so you've got a few days to book up if you haven't already.

Regards
Longshanks

[Longshanks]

Just an incidental thought prompted by someone's comment - you may want to think about roles within the crew? (Captain, Engineer etc?)

I'm sure you can all sort that out between yourselves once the game starts.......soon ;)

See ya later chaps, FATHER should be booting up in a few hours :)

Chocks away, and smoke me a kipper for breakfast!

LS

[Malice]

This should be funny...
I am gunna watch this one!

BTW...
Longshanks....

Good work!

[Skinner]

OK I got my spaceboots on.
My spigot's been checked.
My brain is a pulsing sack glistening with nutrients.
Eyes wide, shifty, trusting no-one.

I just hope I don't kark it while I'm tucked up in my bunk.

Clone 1. Check
Clone 2. Check
Clone 3. Check
Clone 4. Check
Clone 5. ... Clone 5 ... Oh that's me. Check.

Name: Skinner.
Job: Helicopter Pilot (they always make it through to the end)
Life expectancy: Lower than average
Location: Shuttle Bay (well you never know when a brain sucking beast from a lonely lost planet on the adge of space will take over and ... hold on what was that noise ...)

[Longshanks]

...There's always one :rolleyes: ;)

THE GAME DOESN'T START UNTIL FATHER POSTS THE FIRST POST.


ok? (bloody space cadets) :p :D

Woops! My mistake! That would be two!

Welcome aboard chaps! :D :D :D

Hmmm..this is interesting. Someone on board isn't putting off a heat signature...a robot?

Father, I have a question, how is there a robot on board, when according to the rules, there are supposed to be none?

Man I come off of fighting these bad ass aliens, to sitting around here! I'm a Space Marine dammit. I should be shooting something

Understood, Father. Pity though, I would've rather enjoyed having Robbie on board. He could perform quite the array of tasks. All well. Maybe its for the best that Robbie stayed behind and kept Altair company. She gets so lonely.

Saturn Control, upon our safe return, if I find out that you laid one finger on my dear daughter, I will personally hunt you down and show you pain like you've never experienced before.

I don't know. Applications for what?

[Dr. Morbius]

B

*Dr. Morbius walks into the Ready Room and over hears the conversation.*

Applications? I know several applications of Quantum Physics and how they apply to modern intestellar space travel. Will those applications be suitable?

[Hudson]

B
*Glares at the Dr*
None of that physics crap will teach you how to survive out here when something is hunting you down boy. Then and only then will instict get you through.

*starts mumbling about aliens and how Paul Reiser is a dead man*:D

[Dr. Morbius]

B

*Glares back at the Space Marine*

My boy, you should learn how to respect your elders. I was dealing with creatures more powerful than you'll ever imagine long before you were a gleam in your Mothers eye. With my superior intelligence, I know more about survival than you ever will.

[Andromeda]

B

I'm not really sure if we're supposed to have experience or what..butI feel confident I'd make a good communications officer.

I feel confident that I can outmanuver anything in space. That includes space slugs. I'm thirsty... Join me for a drink Dr. Morbius?

I'd like an hydrogen/hydrogen/oxygen c0cktail. I don't want to drink and drive ;)

Ah, now that's no fun. Ladies are always more likely to be in the mood when they're drunk. ;)

I'm staying away from that Ivanova chick or whatever though. I think she eats the guy after mating or something.

Brin enters the Mess hall with his mop and bucket. It seems that in between the crews rumaging and the sudden hyperdrive takeoff there's qquite a bit on the floor already. As he begins to clean up he spies the crew members still talking o nthe other side of the room.

"You know just because it's a Mess Hall doesn't mean you have to make it a mess you know. I mean some of us actually have to clean this place up. Try and have a little more respect will ya."

"Hey maybe we sould all do some work around here huh. Instead of letting the minor staff do everything. I mean we're all of two minutes out of space dock and the big wigs are already just lounging around. But if I stop then it's "hey Brin there's a mess over there go clean it up", well that deosn''t wash with me. I mean it's oppression. What are we back in the middle ages here?"

[Longshanks]

HI CREW :D

Just had a quick browse through the mails and it all seems like you've got things under control ;)

Just to clarify something I was thinking about at work today (yes, you've all been on my mind today, see, I DO care about you :) ), anyway:

I was thinking that we will be setting a few 'special' events during the run of the game - special tasks that will require you to volenteer for missions, sort out problems, provide daily maintainance for the ship etc. But I'm hoping that players will also imput ideas themselves - we won't be able to lead the story all the time, and to be honest I don't think we should (when I say 'we' I'm talking about the four people who are working together behind the scenes to help run this thing).

I'd like to think of this as a group effort, feel free to find ways of interacting between yourselves, advancing the plot, creating your own intrigues within the environment of the game. If anyone has any 'special mission/event' ideas then please PM longshanks or FATHER - I can't promise we'll be able to incorporate them all but we'd certainly appreciate the feedback.

We've had a few teething problems, which is always the way of these things and no-one's fault, but thanks to someone else who has volenteered to step in and help, (who shall remain nameless for now ;) ), the four of us should be able to keep things on track.

If things start off a little slow, then please forgive us, it'll probably take a short while for us all to synchronize our efforts behind the scenes - just be patient with us and improvise amongst yourselves if things don't get up to full speed straight away :D

A genuine vote of thanks to all of the people helping to run this - work with us and I think this could be fun ;)

Best Regards
Longshanks

http://www.cinema.com/image_lib/552_pb_051_thumb.jpg

Full Name: Carolyn Fry
Paper Age: 41
Actual Age after Cryo-deduction: 25

Previous Mission Flight Record:
Pilot aboard the Hunter-Gratzner, a combined freighter-passenger vehicle owned by the New Oslo Shipping Corp.

Hunter-Gratzner Status: Crash resulting from meteor interference. Fry cleared of any negligence or wrongdoing in loss of vehicles.

Saturn Control Notes:
Fry has accrued enough deep-space hours to qualify for Captain status, but neglected to take the exam. Interviews with old shipmates reveal that Fry has considered quitting her job due to inability to handle extended cryo-sleep and general disability to deal with darkness. Fry sleeps with a nightlight.

[FATHER]

FATHER here. The Corporation will be pleased to see any other personal images if they wish to share them with their fellow crew members. You idea is a good one Fry - congratulations, you will receive additional credit in your pay-packet for initiative upon return to Saturn Orbital....FATHER out.

Fry, I shuggest yhou ghet uhp to da brhidge, there's a mheteriote choming this whay! Oh, whait, that's jhust a shtar... I think.

[Carolyn Fry]

Fry winces in pain and pauses on her way to the bridge. She’s had a nagging headache since she got on board. She’s been hoping the bloody thing will just work itself out but it doesn’t seem to be working out that way. Another surge of pain over takes her and knocks her to her knees.

LANDO C: Damn baby! If you wanted to get down with it why didn’t you just say so?

He goes to help her up but as he reaches for her she grabs his arm and twists it.

LANDO C: Ow! Like I’m a lover not a fighter. I don’t like it rough.

FRY: How you like it is irrelevant.

She sniffs at him

FRY: You’ll be next I think.

She twists his arm until she hears the SNAP of his elbow breaking. Everyone else in the mess hall can’t help noticing that something’s not right. They all look around for someway to help. But the best they’ve got is a drawer full of plastic forks.

DR. MORBIUS: There there Fry. Let’s be reasonable, shall we? You don’t really want to hurt Mr. Calrissian here.

LANDO C: That’s right. Listen to the man, sister.

Dr. Morbius keeps talking as he slowly steps closer and closer to Fry making sure to conceal the fork behind his back

DR. MORBIUS: You’re obviously the parasite. I assure you we are not here to hurt you. Now let Ms. Fry go, and I promise, no harm will come to you.

FRY: I don’t want your promises.

She tosses Lando across the room into the tables. Dr. Morbius lunges at Fry and misses. She kicks him in the teeth and runs. From the floor Dr. Morbius yells for help.

DR. MORBIUS: Assistance! Emergency! Stop her! She’s the parasite!

Andromeda, Hudson and John Crichton all yell back in response.

HUDSON: Who is? Andromeda? She’s the slug?

ANDROMEDA: No, not me, someone else.

HUDSON: That sounds like slug talk to me.
JOHN CRICHTON: I don’t see anyone! What’s going on?

Dr. Morbius gets to his feet and sees the crumpled corpse of Carolyn Fry in the passageway between the mess hall (H) and the Ready room (B).

HUDSON: What’s going on? What happened to Fry?

DR. MORBIUS: She was under control of the parasite. She broke Mr. Calrissian’s elbow, perhaps his ulna too. He’s unconscious in the mess hall.

Hudson puts his boot over Fry’s neck.

HUDSON: Should I off her.

DR. MORBIUS: That won’t be necessary. She’s already dead. I’m afraid the parasite is loose somewhere on the ship.

John Crichton yells from the dorms (G).

JOHN CRICHTON: Is it safe to come out yet? Where’s the slug?

Dr. Morbius whispers to Andromeda and Hudson.

DR. MORBIUS: Any of us could be infected. Be on the lookout.

Dr. Morbius yells back to John Crichton

DR. MORBIUS: You can come out now Mr. Crichton. I’m sorry to say that our pilot is dead and that the parasite is on the loose. But the matter at hand remains that Fry is dead. Would you be a good chap and help Hudson carry her body to the cryo-bay (I) so she can be cloned?

JOHN CRICHTON: Sure. Be right there.

ANDROMEDA: What should I do?

HUDSON: We’re gonna need someone to report this to SATURN CONTROL. You’re the communications officer aren’t you?

ANDROMEDA: Okay. I guess I can do that.

Hudson picks up the upper half of Fry’s dead body.

HUDSON: Okay Doc, after you.

Lando comes to over by the tables
LANDO C: Hey! What about me? Help a brotha out!

DR. MORBIUS: Your legs are fine. I suggest you escort yourself to the Med Bay (L). And everyone do be observant. A killer walks among us.

Any of a species of killer slug that uses other people as hosts. Upon leaving the person the person dies. The slugs cannot travel far.

Perhaps we should keep tabs on all crew members that were in the vicinity during Fry's death. If I remember right, that would be Calrissian, Crichton, Hudson, and Andromeda. The odds are, our slug friend will have moved on to one these people. Perhaps we should quarantine these crew members until we discover which of them is the new host. Of course, I was in the vicinity as well, but it couldn't possibly be me. My mind is powerful, and my will is strong. No brain slug could overtake my conscienceness.

[Ford_Prefect]

Or your ego mate.

Its a good idea but we would need to get you all together.

Another idea is to wander around in pairs. Only in pairs. That way if someone dies it will either be seen (if there are two pairs around) or we will know who it is by who is left from the pair.

[Ensign Redshirt]

Wanders into the mess hall, looking rather green. It is obvious to any experienced spacers that he did not have a good reaction to the cryo-sleep.

As per regulations, he picks up a monitor off the galley table and looks over the recent entries in the ship log...

Assault on a crew member...

Death by space slug...

Drops the monitor back on the table. Turns, if possible, even more green, and sits down at the table.

I specifically asked for a cargo ship. I didn't want a dangerous assignment. No exploration, no diplomatic missions. Just a nice simple cargo run in well charted space.

I should have listened to my mother and stayed in Montana, herding sheep.

Ford Prefect is a roving reporter for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

His most recent assignment was to an insignificant planet in an unfashionable end of the galaxy. He chose his name in the belief that he would blend nicely in to the native culture .

Intending to stay for a week, he was stranded for fifteen years.

He chose his name in the belief that he would blend in to the native culture nicely. This was a slight translation problem.

Although sometime worse for wear due to excessive consumption of Ol' Janx Spirit, he always knows where his towel is.

Maybe I can get an away mission out of this. The farther away from the slug the better.

I would agree with the Captain that those in the mess hall should be the ones checked, but I believe that Father said the slug could move pretty fast, up to two compartments at a jump. I suspect that the only safe crewmen are the ones who were asleep at the time of the assault.

bhut that makes no sense. Look at this entry:

Fry winces in pain and pauses on her way to the bridge. She’s had a nagging headache since she got on board. She’s been hoping the bloody thing will just work itself out but it doesn’t seem to be working out that way. Another surge of pain over takes her and knocks her to her knees.

LANDO C: Damn baby! If you wanted to get down with it why didn’t you just say so?

He goes to help her up but as he reaches for her she grabs his arm and twists it.

LANDO C: Ow! Like I’m a lover not a fighter. I don’t like it rough.

FRY: How you like it is irrelevant.

She sniffs at him

FRY: You’ll be next I think.

She twists his arm until she hears the SNAP of his elbow breaking. Everyone else in the mess hall can’t help noticing that something’s not right. They all look around for someway to help. But the best they’ve got is a drawer full of plastic forks.

DR. MORBIUS: There there Fry. Let’s be reasonable, shall we? You don’t really want to hurt Mr. Calrissian here.

LANDO C: That’s right. Listen to the man, sister.

Dr. Morbius keeps talking as he slowly steps closer and closer to Fry making sure to conceal the fork behind his back

DR. MORBIUS: You’re obviously the parasite. I assure you we are not here to hurt you. Now let Ms. Fry go, and I promise, no harm will come to you.

FRY: I don’t want your promises.

She tosses Lando across the room into the tables. Dr. Morbius lunges at Fry and misses. She kicks him in the teeth and runs. From the floor Dr. Morbius yells for help.

DR. MORBIUS: Assistance! Emergency! Stop her! She’s the parasite!

Andromeda, Hudson and John Crichton all yell back in response.

HUDSON: Who is? Andromeda? She’s the slug?

ANDROMEDA: No, not me, someone else.

HUDSON: That sounds like slug talk to me.
JOHN CRICHTON: I don’t see anyone! What’s going on?

Dr. Morbius gets to his feet and sees the crumpled corpse of Carolyn Fry in the passageway between the mess hall (H) and the Ready room (B).

HUDSON: What’s going on? What happened to Fry?

DR. MORBIUS: She was under control of the parasite. She broke Mr. Calrissian’s elbow, perhaps his ulna too. He’s unconscious in the mess hall.

Hudson puts his boot over Fry’s neck.

HUDSON: Should I off her.

DR. MORBIUS: That won’t be necessary. She’s already dead. I’m afraid the parasite is loose somewhere on the ship.

John Crichton yells from the dorms (G).

JOHN CRICHTON: Is it safe to come out yet? Where’s the slug?

Dr. Morbius whispers to Andromeda and Hudson.

DR. MORBIUS: Any of us could be infected. Be on the lookout.

Dr. Morbius yells back to John Crichton

DR. MORBIUS: You can come out now Mr. Crichton. I’m sorry to say that our pilot is dead and that the parasite is on the loose. But the matter at hand remains that Fry is dead. Would you be a good chap and help Hudson carry her body to the cryo-bay (I) so she can be cloned?

JOHN CRICHTON: Sure. Be right there.

ANDROMEDA: What should I do?

HUDSON: We’re gonna need someone to report this to SATURN CONTROL. You’re the communications officer aren’t you?

ANDROMEDA: Okay. I guess I can do that.

Hudson picks up the upper half of Fry’s dead body.

HUDSON: Okay Doc, after you.

Lando comes to over by the tables
LANDO C: Hey! What about me? Help a brotha out!

DR. MORBIUS: Your legs are fine. I suggest you escort yourself to the Med Bay (L). And everyone do be observant. A killer walks among us.

The data dhoes'nt match...

[Arnold Schwartz]

when's Anakin, Vash, ahnd Rolo Tomasi gonna whake uhp. They're mhissing all the "fun"

Wid dat 2 location rule, M, R, S, and Q are the only places da slug oculdn't move to. Which means it could be anyone!

[John Crichton]

it matches for me since i was in the dorms (G)

and it couldnt et to me :p

MWAHAHA *Cough*

[FATHER]

Captain be advised. Lando C is an abbreviation for Lando Calrissian. Crew Member Crichton was in the crew dorm

John Crichton yells from the dorms (G).




Crew locations at time of code yellow have been confirmed. FATHER suggests voice attributed to Crichton may not have been Crichton, or that Crichton is concealing the truth.

[Arnold Schwartz]

Going to M

Puts on suit.

O.K. Ih'll jhust shtay ihn here, where the shlug whon't ghet me. No one chome ihn though, ohr you'll depressurize and explode

What if they was in the Cryo-sleep? Cuz that would suck. I mean, waking up, and you're a slug. Dayumn.

[Carolyn Fry]

A

Err, guys?

Does anyone know what these little red dots are on the screen? We've got the big green dot in the middle (which I think is us?) and then all the little green ones heading towards it?

Btw: did anyone hear Control say something earlier?

[Arnold Schwartz]

M

I'm staying in here till we figure this out.

[John Crichton]

OK i admit it i am the slug

*See's everyones faces*

JOKE hehehehahahahahahawahahahahah

*Everyone looks angry*

Aaaahhhh come on

[Dana Scully]

After the terrible slug incident, Scully wanders off to check out the security of the ship, looking for anything suspicious, she enters J Armour .
The entire room is filled with shelves of weapons; all boxes are marked (All weapons deactivated for your safety, activation codes restricted to SATURN CONTROL) ”Someone should be given access to these weapons, if there is a Slug on this ship we should be able to defend ourselves.”

[Carolyn Fry]

A

Errr......hello?

Small dots getting closer to big dot!

Suggestions?

Stares at screen which looks like an old arcade game...

Do we have a reverse on this thing?

Mental note: Never get on a ship where the pilot doesnt know a DAMN thing

Here is an idea....stear away from them

and try not to wake me i need some sleep....*Goes off to G*

[Ensign Redshirt]

G

As we appear to be headed for a meteor shower, and since regulations plainly state that non essential personnel must leave the bridge in the event of an emergency. I'm going back to the Dorm to gibber in terror for a few hours.

[FATHER]

Crewmember Calrissian - Report all suspicions to fellow crewmembers - SATURN CONTROL has requested you bring the creature back for study. It is recommended you isolate the infected host from the rest of the crew. Use of lethal force is frowned upon by SATURN CONTROL

(try to capture the person. If you can't do that, try to kill them, but remember you don't have access to any weapons)

[THGTTG]

*A voice says*
Brain Salt
*ping*

Brain salt is a dish enjoyed by all evil people in the universe. If you recieve an offer to get brain salt for someone in exchange for a large sum of money run away.

Brain salt is brains salted and let out to dry.

Best surved with a red wine.

YES we have shields!

[LandoCalrissian]

The things killing us and th damn Saturn Control is worried about using it for RESEARCH? I say we forget about their damn research and try to kill the thing!

For now I ain't got no way to isolate the thing, so I'll just stay back where I can't get infected, ya know....

Damn, it seems like only a week ago the only infection I had to worry about was an STD.

[FATHER]

CODE RED! CODE RED! Hull breach detected ouside Port Engine Pod (Q). All systems shutting down to facilitate repair. 3 crew members needed to weld hull patch. Volunteers should report to Air Lock (M) immediately

Im sorry if the book wasnt much help. You see its a bit out of date. Thats why im here.

*walks over to the controls*

[FATHER]

Scanners show Captain Schwartz ready in Air Lock. Activation waiting for 2 other crewmembers. Without repairs Life Support will terminate in 24 hours

[Dana Scully]

After checking out the Armour supply, Agent Scully goes off to check out the rest of the ship, in the mean time she’s mumbling to herself “how can anyone be relaxed around here when there is some kind of Slug loose somewhere on this ship”… Scully enters H The Mess Hall and suddenly she feels a need to just sit back and relax.

FRY! If you don't navigate us out of this debris field so we can make repairs I promise you will be the first person to die twice on this mission!

As everyone was called for a meeting Brin enters the bridge looking around at the crisis for a few seconds.

"So is there a mes to celan up here too or did I come up here for nothing?"

Looking aorund he notices the screen in question.

"You know the reason that looks like an arcase game is becasue it's an old version of asteroids. The pilot stations over there."

Sure! Like this is all MY fault!?!

I'm all of 5 minutes old and already i'm facing death again! I'm doing my best ok!

Looks closer at screen

Oh look, level 5! Just one more go and i promise I'll get back to the driving stuff...honest I will!

settles down to to another game of Asteroids

Oh, and I'm not going out for walkabout duties outside ok? I've got a job to do and a best score total to beat!

[Brin Lando]

"You know if Saturn contol is gonna roast us if we kill this thing maybe the best idea would just be for all of us to go back asleep and let the ship fly home on auto pilot.... heck it's on auto pilot anyways right? Then again what do I know I'm just the janitor... and one of the few people who seems interested in saving our hides."

Brin begins dusting the control panels on the piloting station. As he does so four buttons get activated. The first sends out an "Autopilot disengaged" alarm. The second seems to have the label "lateral roll full thrusters", the third full main thusters", and finally one that states Artifical gravity disengage. As everything lifts off the floor Brins slop bucket water floats into the piloting station shorting out the entire thing.

[LandoCalrissian]

Why the hell do we even have a button that turns off the artificial gravity? It should be on all the time! Bling frickin Blang! What a wack button!
