Dark Opera - Bloodbath 9 (Delay much?)

[ashmite84]

Move: Security Office

No reward without a little risk.

[ashmite84]

Hi Al.

[ashmite84]

What is a CYA?

[ashmite84]

Thanks vendetta

[ashmite84]

Mokina: noticed and appreciated

[ashmite84]

Oh yeeeah... Now

that's

flavour text! *Drools*....
Keep it up

[ashmite84]

I would also like to express

my

fondness for.... that particular protocol.

[ashmite84]

MOVE: infirmary

[ashmite84]

Iron Man / bird1111 / OhGodMyLife: What did you find?

[ashmite84]

Damn.... Pentadragon's condition seems to have worsened....

[ashmite84]

I was in the Security Office. I guess he attacked himself.

[ashmite84]

He could attack the robot for now. Of course it would help if he were armed and the door wasn't locked (not that I particularly want that thing running around the ship).

[ashmite84]

I propose that if there is someone who a large amount of the players find suspicious, Pentadragon should attack them

QFT.

[ashmite84]

vendetta: are you able to elaborate on the item in question and from whence it came?

[ashmite84]

The engines are running at a fast burn of 80% capacity, and fuel intake is efficient.

Passengers, you should be comfortable at this speed if you remain in your staterooms.

[ashmite84]

@Litral: does your piece of paper have any other insignia or marks on it?

[ashmite84]

@vendetta: player conditions are freely accessable from page1.

[ashmite84]

@vendetta: the answers to the questions for Al aren't freely accessable, but I would guess that most of it is just flavour to be taken with a grain of salt.

[ashmite84]

@Grek: why take ting at all now? You both have the

means

to enter the bridge (i.e. you by your Captaincy, him presume a found key), but you on the one hand have a seemingly water-tight role claim, ting doesn't share that luxury.

[ashmite84]

@Al: Do you have any proof or proveable means of your claim a la Grek? (Other than ruffians blowing holes in everybody if the door is not opened?)

[ashmite84]

I am unarmed

We

are

armed, possess alien detection devices and C4 explosives.

[ashmite84]

Never mind the above. I just read your last post.

[ashmite84]

I think I answered my own question. With your claim came the reveal that you were actually armed, correct? 2 more questions:

1: What are you armed with? Exact specs please?

2: If you are armed why not deal with Basilisk yourself and

then

have the doors opened, once the threat is eliminated, rather than unleashing the robot on everyone else? I think most of the concern for your wellbeing was based on the assumption that you were unarmed.

[ashmite84]

The mech is too big to fit in the elevator.

Lol, why didn't you say so in the first place? Are you sure? Is this mod-confirmed or based on your own assessment?

[ashmite84]

we have plans to blow our way inside the armory, through the Crew Quarters, the Infirmary or the Main Corridor.

Is there a part in the plan that negates or at least minimizes possible aliens arming themselves?

@Grek: Fair enough. I will volunteer to be a member of the party headed to the bridge.

[ashmite84]

@ashmite.
I can bring people to the bridge NOW.

Gotcha.

[ashmite84]

move: passenger quarters
follow: ting

[ashmite84]

Mokina:

Does the command

follow

work? I.e. I will go where ting goes if I'm not back here in time to specify?

[Yes. The

FOLLOW

command simply causes you to go to the same destination as the target if they use a movement-phase (access) item or ability.]

[ashmite84]

Geraintm and skitzer, it's not that I don't trust you guys, but maybe you should leave the room...

I thought we were going to the bridge now. Grek is not locking / unlocking doors until the BB phase so all that is needed is for you to open the bridge now, with an understanding that no-one who has not been cleared is to go to the bridge yet, under penalty of suspicion.

[ashmite84]

@ting: Oh, I was under the impression that once you had used your ability, then anyone was free to enter the bridge.

[ashmite84]

Sorry, missed this first time around after I volunteered to come.

I would like to go now, just me and ting, unless ABR wants to send one of his men along. I don't realy trust any of the rest of you.

move: crew quarters

[ashmite84]

@vendetta:

We shut the engines down anyway

and just drifted.

I am Special Agent Williams "Romeo" Barclay of the Covert Operations Division.

Along with the operatives under my care, I have infiltrated the

Nomad

to eliminate the alien threat.

From these 2 quotes it would appear that we were already in transit when we received the message and that the military are already here.

[ashmite84]

From what I've read in some of the HM games, the aliens may have knowledge of traps onboard and how to trigger them. They may be able to infect humans and turn them into aliens.

[ashmite84]

mokina:

I'm meant to be in the crew quarters. EDIT: (I

think

I am anyway....)

Just in case,

move: crew quarters

[ashmite84]

so what do i do? do i press this red button for the cargo bay delta, or for the computer core, or should i let it be and make some searching?

I will be asking my Chief Engineering Officer what his device does. Untill I tell you, do

not

use it, vendetta.

[ashmite84]

Pentadragon is coming on our trip to the armory.

Is that a safe move, given his condition?

[ashmite84]

Ven, sorry, you might have read my post as sounding a bit rude or abrupt. That wasn't my intention That's the problem with these forums - sometimes it's hard to get someones tone. I assure you there was no bad intent in my post. I was just saying that Grek said not to press the button because he is trying to free ABR as we speak by unlocking the door, whereas your device might blow him up for all we know. You can of course, press it if you want. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings mate.

[ashmite84]

I am told the -- Armory -- offers a variety of tasty refreshments

LOL!

Sorry about that. Please ignore that.

Double LOL!

[ashmite84]

@Ven: no hard feelings?

[ashmite84]

Action phase A: I lock all the doors except for the one that the people entering the armoury are in and unlock the armoury.
Movement B: The people going to the armoury all move to the armoury. Nobody else is able to move

(barring the possibility of them having keys / knowledge of secret passages / Halcyon screwing us over / other).

Fix'd.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the aliens are hiding among the passengers, isn't there a chance that they might also be among the crew/soldiers?

I wouldn't rule anything out at this point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Ven: no hard feelings?

vendetta I see you lurking there Come on, are we buddies?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Halcyon: please scan your data-base for any information on Liutenant William Gorman."

*waits*
*receives info*

"Let's see now.... Lt. William Hope Gorman.... colonial marine - yadda yadda yadda.... air ducts.... alien pincer movement.... explosion...."

*gulps*

"I'm sorry I asked...."

[ashmite84]

Nightson:

do you know how you came to end the last BB phase in the passenger lounge, but start this move phase in the computer core? Also, you are injured - what happened?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Albert B. Rampage

Bleeding from the shoulder.

I see you took some damage. Did you damage the robot back?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vendetta

Stumbling around, disoriented, with slurred speech.

If you are able to post: what happened to you?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The liquid turned out to be an anisthetic and I won't attack myself for the next 3 turns.

Well done.

[ashmite84]

so now i'm a little bit drunk...

LOL!

[ashmite84]

Note:

Geraintm is missing. He was last seen in the passenger quarters during the second movement phase with skitzer and slysly. He may not be able to post. Do either of you know what happened to him?

Suggestion:

From now on we do a head count every time there is a location update. I will spearhead this initiative but it wouldn't hurt for others to do the same in case I miss something.

[ashmite84]

bird:

Do you have any idea

where

you are (if anywhere)?

[ashmite84]

Just confirming that I am a crew member, as Grek said.

[ashmite84]

Would you trust this man?

[ashmite84]

Soldier or anarchist? You decide....





j/k Al

[ashmite84]

FUCK YOU I'M DRUNK!
FUCK YOU I'M DRUNK!
POUR OUT ME BEER, I GOT MORE IN THE TRUNK!

[ashmite84]

FUCK YOU I'M DRUNK!
FUCK YOU I'M DRUNK, AND I'M GONNAE BE DRUNK, 'TIL THE NEXT TIME I'M DRUNK!

[ashmite84]

LOL! Back on Terra, where do you hail from ven? (Assuming you're not an alien).

[ashmite84]

I need an adult! I need an adult!

[ashmite84]

Phew, okay I'm back. Because of my condition I was unable to post during the last move phase. Exactly what happened was the Basilisk was attacked and went berserk spraying bullets indiscriminately. I managed to blow it up but not before it's fallen gun shot me quite by pure chance! To my understanding it is neutralized, but the fact that it is still on the board makes me unsure. I'd love some healing right about now

[ashmite84]

Penta: My role name is Mark Frost, hence this breadcrumb dropped for Litral when he said he had a piece of paper that had what was possibly a list of crew names:

@Litral: does your piece of paper have any other insignia or

marks

on it?

It wasn't picked up so apparently the paper wasn't a list of crew names.

[ashmite84]

You

managed to blow it up? Of course you did.

ROFL! That's the way I understood it. The way my PM read, it sounded like your fire hydrant attack just pissed it off Ah well, let's say it was a team effort

<_<

>_>

[ashmite84]

move: armory

[ashmite84]

I made a note of your absence geraintm, but no-one commented....

[ashmite84]

move: infirmary

[ashmite84]

Thanks for the healing YB.

[ashmite84]

Welcome to Bumfuck, Nowhere: pop. 2 (Ting and Chelseafan) Where are you guys?

move: armory

[ashmite84]

Enough messing around... I want a breathing apparatus and the most destructive weapon we've got. It's time to take Nightson out. Who can provide me with these items?

[ashmite84]

Scratch that, I checked my status and I am still recovering. Who has a breathing apparatus?

[ashmite84]

Ven: Gotcha ;p

[ashmite84]

I have a feeling that this bloodbath phase is going to live up to it's name! Welcome new mod.

[ashmite84]

Re: sigging quotes - Yes, this game has had me chuckling madly on several occasions. Vendetta in particular posts some hilarious material. I had a hard time deciding between the ven quote in my sig and the ven quote regarding the captains log written in a crayon scrawl XD

[ashmite84]

Thanks for creating / modding the game thus far. It's a ripper.

[ashmite84]

Ashmite has entered the arena.
