Special Order 937 is marked Science Officer Eyes Only, I can't access it.
All I get when I try is that it is classified as 'Crew Expendable'.
Also, looks like stabbed everyone in the back, as he loves doing. He apparently maneuvered the Piett into point black range with the Mammarian. Point Blank range is pretty bad, right? I don't get the ship combat rules at all.
Point blank range means we can't use primary weapons or torpedos. Worse however, it appears to have let us get boarded.
How does one deal with a boarding party?

That sounds not good.
(Also, for the love of whatever, people. Just google 'Special Order 937' and save yourself some time.)

You may want to consult with your other crew members.

Kinda strange to have such a focus on a role in a narration
I'd have a few pieces of information worth sharing.
I was forced to make a defensive roll early in Day 1. My roll was decent and since I'm still around, I guess I passed. Be aware that the traitors appear to take actions in real time, not during the narration. It was during a several hour lull in actual activity in the thread so I have no leads on who did it.
Also, we are discussing it amongst the crew, but our ship received a transmission. We were all told that fleet command had verified our ship was clear of traitors. This does not mesh well with the transmission from our ship in the narration or the OP. Beware of any unsolicited information provided by fleet (i.e. Ender).
Judging by the narration, everyone on our ship did what they claimed they would except our Science Officer (we are the Williams, not Piett, to avoid confusion) Cynic Jester.
It could be inactivity or he could have "seer"-like abilities and was checking us out. Still waiting to hear from him.
It's possible that the information framing teucrian is a frame job. Could another science officer come forward and give us some info on if he'd be a priority. If they are seers, maybe the Science Officers should scan each other.
here is what I do: I can make the helmsman or tactical officer have two actions but whoever I choose the other won't have an action.
I can rearm the torpedos on my ship(not sure if this applies to other ships) if something happens to them I can have them rerolled to try again (i did this for day 1 and as you can see in the narration for the cain I attempted to get them back online)
and third I can repair the shields in an emergency
So yeah, really sorry I didn't shoot last night, total screw up mistake. Would be a pretty stupid mafia move though; if I were a bad guy planning to be completely obvious I'm pretty sure I would've shot at one of our own ships instead of sitting there looking like an idiot.
Not sure what's up with the encyclopedia entry, it's not like I got backstory along with my role PM, but the OP does say questions like "Who is Mafia" are not likely to return useful results, and Teucrian has demonstrated that the mafia have the ability to mess with the encyclopedia, so I'm guessing there are shenanigans going on there in some way.

Teucrian seems to have compromised the integrity of the Encyclopedia....
Leaves me wondering if the mafia has that as an ability instead of the normal kill.
teucrian clearly seems guilty, though if he isn't mafia we have a whole other level of things to worry about.

He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!
He could actually be a nethacker who just wants information to be, like, free, dude.
Or... maybe he's a Luddite who wants to remove humanity's reliance upon technology by showing us just how flawed it is?
And these are just the possibilities that I came up with. Who knows what Ender's twisted mind could spit out?
...So, I guess your the unique role on your ship? What do you do?
I think revealing powers might be going a little far. But let's just say I don't think the boarding party on the Williams will be a problem much longer.

This is a worrying idea if it is correct, given the varying time zones of players here.

If anyone can give some help to the brave super soldier on the Mammaridian we might be able to take that eye of Lucifer cannon for the earth! Or at least sabotage them sufficiently.

Hey everybody what's with that weird message that was intercepted. That sure was weird! Let's talk about it.
Wait. . . let me read narration again.
Oh.
That sucks.
Teucrian :P
Nice job Kay. I feel outplayed. If the Venusian sympathizers on the other ships want to contact me, maybe we can at least get some coordinated action going on here. We'll bring down these dirty Terran oppressors one way or another.

As for the ESN Chief, the traitor has been narrowed down to The Anonymous, Megatin or Void Slayer.
Pretty good so far.

Sorry, at least you weren't killed by your own faction in the main :P

Has any other ship heard anything about two members co-operating together for a chance at instantly killing an enemy ship?

The Anonymous is also super suspicious. And really quiet.
And when Anon plays mafia he's borderline inactive.
Hmm.
So say we all.
