Sure, the game hasn't started yet, but why should that stop us?
<Brian> Unless you consider the ship to be a robot.
<Bjorn> I do not consider the ship to be a robot.
<Bjorn> Especially since it is probably murderous and wants to kill all of us.
<Brian> That would have been easy for it to do.
<Bjorn> Yes, but it has style.
* Bjorn nodnods.
<Brian> "I have reconfigured the ship in your absence, Finn. The chute labeled 'Main Engine Feed -- DO NOT OPEN' now leads to a very fun watersli-- sli-- sli-- inclined plane. I hope you will enjoy it."
<Mr. Thorne>"I don't want that man on this critical mission!"
<Sally> "Daddy, meet my new boyfriend!"
<Mr. Thorne> "That man NEEDS to be on this forty year mission!"
<Rei-chan> Death to the first crew!
<Faceless> Victory to the Angels!
<Rei-chan> No, victory to Congressionals!
<Faceless> Sorry, but I have dibs.
<Faceless> You can have face-saving compromise, if you'd like.
<Rei-chan> Okay.
Ah, interstellar politics....
<OkibiOhki> <Hale> Deal me in.
<OkibiOhki> <Finn> Er ... right. What's the game, then?
<OkibiOhki> <Hale> 5 card stud. I offer life-support as ante.
<OkibiOhki> <Finn> Uh....
Albert shrugs. "It seems to know what it's doing," he remarks of Hale, moving closer to the wall for when they go to zero gravity. "Carry on," he nods and makes a vague dismissive gesture in the air.
<Brian> Should I roll unluck?
<Hale> "Self-destruct command aknowledged."
Bending to examine the mess more closely, Finn frowns. "Well, this is a heap o' shit," she grumbles. "Hale, log this. Ship's Engineer Finn Ezekiel examined the airlock, found the override wheel'd been torn off, crowbar shove t'rough the controls. Prognosis for repairs, is, uh,"
Her voice trails off temporarily, as she tries to determine the full extent of the damage, and whether it can be bypassed.
<Brian> Faceless, can I get an engineering roll?
<Finn> roll 3d6 but I hope you remember my stat because I don't.
"Uh, it's bad. Yeah. Real bad."
<Kelly> Mind giving me absolute authority over our mechanical overlord?
<Albert> Sure.
<Kelly> Hale, please kill them all. Set ship into PIRATE mode. Clean up the remaining waste. Let's go terrorize some worlds.
<Albert> Hale, belay that.
<Hale> I'm sorry albert, I can't do that.
Dracos
QuoteKieran pulls himself out of the access hatch.
"Too much. I'm going to the galley, I want something to eat. Where are you going?"
Finn grins, starts to speak, and then freezes. "I... I don' remember," she says, slightly dazed. "'S like... I dunno, 's like a whole monf went by in just a second, y'know?"
I kid because I luv!
Kelly nodded at Eric. "I'll take a look at the core later."
*later happens*
"Let's see if I can get this core in a readable state," Kelly mumbled to himself.
The core whirred slightly as it accessed its sandboxed terminal, and displayed the following text on the screen: "Hello, I am Zippy."
