Arktis

I need to be the centre of attention!

 

Cute.  ::)

 

Yet true :P

Oh, WHATEVER.

I try to make a boring game fun and this is what I get...  guess who supplied the "crazy" angle?  The game master.  He then told me to KEEP IT UP when I repeatedly wanted out.  And you think it is funny to basically call me an attention whore.

Not cool.  Not cool.

I don't need to be punished for trying to have fun and liven up a boring game when I'm told not to leave and instead just behave nuts.  I've already got enough crap from gatherhade and from being all of your personal court jester.

I need to be the centre of attention!

Cute.  ::)

Arktis.  You have the info.  You can give it to the crew.  The computer is busy with other things...  :)

No, I don't.  At the time, I simply deleted it as I normally do with all my private messages.  It looked useless.

Then, you told me it was most likely useful, so I requested it be shown to everyone before the vote, as if you were right, then it had relevance to that.

Now it seems again to have been useless anyways.  So, whatever.

*goes back to rampaging around the ship*

*bangs on the nearest computer console*

Computer!  Where is the information I requested?!  All screens at all terminals, NOW PLEASE.  >:(

*wipes the green foam from his mouth*

I swear... this computer hates me.  I've only made two requests of it since the storm, and the only response I've ever received came DAYS LATER.  And now I'm asking for the SAME INFORMATION to be displayed to the rest of the crew, and NOTHING.

Where's that engineer?  I'm going to KILL HIM.

*picks up a hyper-spanner and goes off in search of the engineer*

Maybe I should kill the doctor first... or smash the main computer banks.  Well, whoever/whatever I run into first, then.

Neuro-cortical stimulator  :o ;D

Computer, display the information you sent me in response to my inquiry about tampering with logs on all displays at all terminals.

And fetch me a blue doggy.

A cocker spaniel.

And some gravy.

So I can eat him.

I must replenish my strength, for I feel rather Ill.

VERY Ill.

I think it might have been something he ate.

I vote we all scan Arktis again, because he likes how it tickles.

*runs off down the corridor*

*groan*

Salad forks... mrmbles...  celery picks...

*moan*

There's a good one here: http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/countries/master/eplist.html

Councilor Arktis.  Since you are cleared, well for now at least, I'll put you in charge of collating any clues we find, and making sure someone follows them up.  Can you do that?"

Arktis just looked back at Niteshdw, a bizarre grin on his face.

research, RESEARCH.....

 

I'm a doctor not an engineer!!!!

 

yet i'm stuck do repairs to this rust bucket!!

 

these hands were made for precision cutting... not welding a monkey wrench..

 

the research will have to wait!!

Tee Hee Hawwwww!

*slaps bones in the face with a glove*

Strike!  ;D

*Turns around, slamming his forehead into the bulkhead, promptly falling unconscious*

 

Well it is a certainty that the Alien has moved into one of these players. My guess is that due to the erratic behavior of the counselor that Arktis is my choice, However If I was an intelligence entering a host i would seek the power-base... with power the world is your oyster.

 

I say we section the Captain, for his own protection, the well being of our captain is a major priority of our mission, and place the counselor in the brig pending further questions.

I'm fine.

I vote for Arktis too.

Clearly, he's suffering from space madness.

It must be caused by a hideous brain parasite.

Yeah, NOBODY had it.  I called all around, in two cities...  :'(

This is what I have, btw: http://www.permatex.com/products/automotive/specialized_maintenance_repair/auto_glass_maintenance_repair/Permatex_Quick_Grid_Rear_Window_Defogger_Repair_Kit.htm

You can't tell from the picture, but it's just a little brush with a stencil and some gunk  to dip and paint on.  I found a site with an article that references the exact same product and recommends it for fixing the contacts for buttons on remote controls... not exactly helpful to me.  :D

Edit: According to the Material Safety Data Sheet pdf (linked to on that page), it uses silver!  So I guess the guy at the shop was wrong... 

So I need to solder to a couple circuits, but they look copper and don't stick to my solder... I was told I could use something called a "circuit repair pen" which basically paints on a bit of conductive metallic stuff which I can then solder to.  I called all around and nobody had anything like it.

I was told I might be able to buy a small kit for fixing the rear window heating wires on a car because it basically does the exact same thing; allows you to paint on a conductive metal to fix broken areas of the heat circuits that go through your back window.

So, I went to NAPA auto parts and they had one, however the guy at the store told me that it had some kinda conductive gold stuff and so I am not sure if it is usable for my purposes or not.

It seems like it should be, but I just don't know...

Not anymore.  ;)

Screw it.  If anyone needs me, I'll be floating out in the infinite abyss.  Farewell...

*steps out an airlock without a suit.*

Counselor's personal log:

 

With nothing to do for the moment, I've taken the liberty of retiring to my quarters for some rest.  I can't seem to sleep however... something is nagging at me.

Computer, pause recording.  Lights.

Computer,  I have several inquiries.  First, check the access logs to the medical supplies.  Also, what is required to tamper with the logs for the stasis tubes and the medical supplies, and who is capable of that?  For that matter, who is capable of tampering with any logs, no matter how trivial?  Additionally, who was the last person into stasis, and were there any unusual requests made before then?

While you're working on that, please play some Brahms... random selection... something light.

Make this information available to the entire crew.  That is all.

Not much of the book reading type, I see.

funny that...

 

i thought osama was the 'mastermind'.....

 

:)

"Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia"

Cryo-storage pod 10 has failed.

 

Arktis, inhabits pod 11.

Whoa... I came very close to death!  :o

Shall I take my station on the bridge, or is there somewhere else I should be at this time?  At times like these, I have no clear duties.

As ship's counselor, I suggest that a crew briefing on the current situation and what is expected from each of us should take place as soon as possible.  It will ease some of the negative emotions and uncertainty caused by recent events.

This should be interesting.  I wonder if we'll get an explanation of how the little bugger gets on board without triggering any alarms.

Before the downtime, I voted against cryo-suspension.  Who wants to just sit there  in a forced state of deep sleep while some freaky alien parasite has carte blanche to violate their person?  :P

I have a small suggestion that might make the game more fun/interesting and possibly work out some balance issues (or introduce more):  You can have one player be a permanent fiend that can create another parasite if the first one gets killed, but maybe only ONCE during the game... you could call this person the parasite lord or queen.  This fiend would have no control over what the parasite does except of course to choose its' first host.  The interesting part comes in if the host manages to choose the lord/queen as the next victim.  What is there to do in that case?  I see a few possibilites: 

1.) game over!

2.) host dies, lord/queen chooses another host

3.) some extra stuff, like maybe the gameplay rules take an interesting turn

Anyways, I just thought I would throw that out there.

in.

ships' counselor.

Keyboard broKen.  :'(

using mouse To copy and paste. :-\

slow.  >:(

try fix soon.

Personally, I don't care who does it just as long as it keeps rotating.
