Posted June 25, 2023
It's just another routine mission on the VHS Lackadaisy......pick up some crates of Wyld RubbahDuckz from Polus-426, bring em back to Ortega Station, and get paid...well that's how it was SUPPOSED to go, anyways. Of course, life always finds a way to throw the proverbial omni-wrench into the works, and in you & your (hopefully loyal?) crew's case, it turned out to be a BIG one: one of your more recent hires, one Mr. Jimmy Krikkit XII, was recently found out to be a member of that very nasty race of beings called SUSians.
What's a Susian, you ask? Think something with the Thing's ability and propensity to mimic other lifeforms, and a tendency to slowly but surely convert nearby sentient beings into fellow Susians. Oh yeah, and they (probably) like to kick space puppies.
The good news? The fiend was caught and spaced not long after joining up.
The bad news? They likely managed to convert 1 or more of your fellow crewmates into Susians before then.
The worse news? They were the ship's custodian, and the toilets are clogged.
Your job now is thus: whilst the ship is kept in quarantine, the remaining human crew must find and "remove" any remaining Susians before they convert the remaining human crew.

PLAYERS
1. (Micro) Captain - Roy Rogers - Formerly partnered with his best friend(the now deceased Thomas Collins), Cptn. Rogers now does his best to maintain a living and his sanity out on the fringes of charted space. When they aren't finding ways to make a (space) buck or trying to ferret out some stowaway Susians, they enjoy things like playing the odd game of Krikkit every now and then. ****Faction: Town****Status: SPACED****
2. (Pooka) 1st Mate Geraldine 'argh' Ford - The belle of any ball, Geraldine is outgoing and loves to socialize in their free time.....well, when their legendary bad luck isn't throwing a monkey wrench into things, that is. If they aren't tripping when traversing the ship's gangplank or slipping on some random spill or suffering some malady or other, they do their best to help make sure crew are doing their assigned tasks. ****Faction: Scum****Status: SPACED****
3. (Scene) Security Officer - Marcus 'marque' Johanson - Shoots stuff that needs shooting, saves crew that need saving.....simple as. Likes to listen to songs of somewhat questionable quality from an old earth style of music called "hip hop" in their free time. ****Faction: Town****Status: CONVERTED(NKd)****
4. (Sage) Medic - Leo 'Typsee' Higgins - Descended from a long line of drunken warrior monks, Leonard decided killing wasn't their thing.....and so they decided to try their hand at healing people instead. Of course, their family's penchant for the hooch still crawls in their veins, making a trip under the knife of this medic a dicey proposition at best.
5. (Dedo) Cargo Overseer - Austin 'Odello' Chang - They might seem like a gruff character, but this cargo operator is well cultured at heart.......(somewhat) familiar with several of the great authors/playwrights in olde earth history, Austin likes to sometimes recite lines from the aforementioned media to other members of the crew during the performance of their duties. ****Faction: Town****Status: CONVERTED(post-game)****
6. (CatVenturer) Cargo Handler - Elnora 'tütley' Brown - At home as much in the ship's mess as in the cargo bay, Elnora likes trying their hand at making all sorts of dishes for the (unwary) crew to enjoy. Usually these dishes taste just fine, but a number of them (due to the inclusion of a high percentage of nerts[a cheap foodstuff on the galactic rim]) have the tendency to create a rather noisy working environment. Also has a tiny feline shaped companion which they smuggled aboard during one of the ship's various stops(which they wisely do not test their culinary creations on[that's the crew's job]). ****Faction: Town****Status: CONVERTED(NKd)****
7. (FrostBurn) Cargo Handler - Matthew Carrington Bryttle - Called MC by their friends, little guy or wee man by their enemies, this cargo handler of somewhat diminutive stature likes to let their mind wander when off work......imagining all sorts of things, from giant spiders to space vampyres, in their free time. ****Faction: Town****Status: SPACED****
8. (Trent) Cargo Handler - Plahye Zhulder - A bit unremarkable, really.....Plahye got hired as a temp worker during a more bountiful working season, and then kept on for reasons none of the crew can quite recall. Likes to make and collect origami figures, which they keep in their quarters......and the empty shelves in the mess hall......wherever they can find space for new ones, essentially. ****Faction: Bio-Replicant(neutral third party)****Status: ESCAPED****
-----------------------
WIN CONDITIONS
The human crew wins when all Susians onboard have been spaced. This is done via an old earth custom called a "vote", with the crew member carrying the majority vote by "day's end" being tossed into the nearest airlock(with the hopes, of course, that they were indeed a Susian)
Susians win when their number matches the remaining number of human crew.
Each "night" they attempt to convert* one of their fellow crew into another Susian, thereby growing their numbers.
(*i.e. a regular NK)
RULES
1. Be awesome to one another
2. Have fun
3. (per post 26) No disrupter beams allowed inside the spaceship!
Also the usual:
No editing posts(unless you have super happy fun mod powers like me and Lift)
Votes must be bolded, and there must only be one vote in a post for it to count
Players cannot quote ENTIRE role PMs in their posts.....short snippets are okay, tho
Almost no posting during "nights"(up to 2 fluff/non game-play posts are allowed per player per "night")
etc etc
