Captain Biggus Dickus sighed as he read the dispatch from HQ. He had known that it was only a matter of time before the Syndicate learned of the significance of Space Phalla 13, but that didn't make his duty any easier. He would have to inform the crew, of course. Their lives were in enough peril just from everyday station operations, and it was nothing short of a miracle that no crew members had been lost since he'd taken command. It simply wouldn't be fair to leave them in ignorance of the Syndicate infiltration. At least HQ had been able to determine just how many traitors he was dealing with.
"Good morning Space Phalla 13, this is Captain Dickus speaking. I have an important announcement from HQ, but first I need all posts to report in."
"Head of Personnel is on the bridge. The ID badge scanner is still offline, so we won't be able to make routine job reassignments."
"Head of Research is en route to the bridge."
"This is Engineering. All hands have reported, and engine status is nominal."
"Toxins here. Everything is A-OK."
"Atmospheric reporting. Levels are within tolerances in every area of the station."
"Security here, all officers present."
Before the Prison Warden could call in, Captain Dickus remembered that Security owed him a more detailed report. "How are repairs going on the Forensics computer, Security?"
"Well, Captain, we're unfortunately not able to solve any crimes right now, but we are set up to brew one mean cup of coffee."
Biggus swore under his breath. The Forensics computer never seemed to be operational. At the next crew assignment, he was definitely going to move that caffeine fiend to another department. "Very well. Keep me posted."
The reports continued. "Warden Slung Solo here. The Prison Station is in good shape. We could sure use some prisoners to look after, though."
Medical was supposed to be next, but there was only silence. "Medical, please report in." Nothing. "Captain Dickus to Medbay, is anyone there?" Still nothing. "Security, please send an officer to the Medbay and find out whether they're dead or just hopped up on rejuvenators."
"Acknowledged, Captain."
The captain paused for a moment as he pondered how best to break the bad news to the crew. Nothing clever came to mind, so he just dove right in. "Now, about that announcement. I am sorry to inform you that HQ has confirmed the presence of Syndicate operatives on Space Phalla 13. According to telemetry, there are eight of them. Unfortunately, we don't know who they are, and with the Forensics computer out of commission, we'll have a hard time finding out. I need each and every one of you to be alert at all times to any suspicious activity. Mister Solo, I'd like you to bring your team over from Space Phalla 14 to the main station. We'll need your help over here tracking down those Syndicate bastards, and if we do manage to find them I don't think we're going to have the luxury of locking them up on the prison station."
That was just about it, Biggus thought. "Men, you have your jobs and you know how to do them. Captain out." Now to see what the hell was going on in the Medbay...

The Rules:
Voting:
I vote for Big McLargeHuge.
If you wish to retract a vote, don't edit the vote out of your original post. Instead, post a new post with your retraction like so:
I retract my vote for Big McLargeHuge.
Voting closes each night at 11:00 PM EDT. Votes placed at 11:00 WILL count, but votes marked 11:01 WILL NOT count.
In the event of a tie, all players tied for first place will be executed. If the player or players with the most votes are killed by other means, there will be no execution that night.
You may miss a vote without penalty; however, missing two IN A ROW puts you at odds with the Inactivity Policy (see below).
Roles:
Rules update: Sharing role PMs is now allowed.
All orders must be submitted by 11:00 EDT, just like the votes.
Bad Guys and Win Conditions:
The Crew wins if they eliminate all of the Traitors.
The Traitors win if they eliminate enough of the Crew so that at least 50% of the surviving players are Traitors.

Other:
No player is permitted to compel another player to commit suicide via inactivity.
Rules Q&A:
A: Yes. All players with the same role or job title have the same abilities.
Q: Not sure if you are allowed to post private conversations here though.

Q: Will we be told if we've killed a traitor?
A: Yes, you will be told.
Q: Can any kills be stopped by killing the killer?
A: No. All traitor, vigilante, and other kills happen simultaneously, and then the vote winner is executed if he is still alive.

Oh yeah I think drez is suspicious so I !vote Drez

Everyone knows that.

Who needs babes. :winky:

Converting the forensics computer into a coffeemaker was obviously a stroke of genius
Which is no doubt why the terrorists struck at medlab first! But we have thwarted them with our secret backup coffee machine.
Also, I !vote for Gnasty because his deviant monkey fetish is making me question my own sexuality.
Cause even when he is good hes bad.
Shut up, I know. Let a man dream.
Suddenly..it all makes sense.
I think the embracing will be the other way round. Though it would be convenient......
That I was way into D&D (the game not the forum) when I was younger. I created an email account with that name and since I use the same name for everything (non-professional) I sign up for on the internet, 10 or so years later I am stuck with the name.
Trust me by now I am quite sick of the name. :P
I had considered signing up for that one, because I love the wheel of time. As soon as I saw them reach 100 pages in less than 3 days I knew I made the right choice by staying away.
So I'll vote for them unless a better choice comes along
I vote for whoever is in position 34.
...and just narrowly missed myself.
!vote Zerinan.
No offense, but I can't let a vote against me go unvoted against. That sounded very odd, but still I vote for HylianBunny to... what do we do with the bad guys? I'm going to go with tossing out the air lock, because that sounds good.
Edit: Actually, I think we should make the bad guys 'breathe' some deadly superheated plasma. I'm sure it will be very entertaining.
...we have a zoo, right?
I vote for Plutonium, seriously, he's always evil.
There's a zoo?! Why hasn't anyone mentioned this before. Would anyone like to help me get some of the more angry animals and take 'em to the Lab. For no reason. I mean, there is a reason, I'm hoping I can cheer them up a bit, I'm not going to combine them to create a super killing machine, because that would be horrible, poor animals.
Now here's a bandwagon I can wholeheartedly support.
I !vote for Plutonium.
Please don't kill me Plutonium. Not again...
So... you turn people into monkeys? IS THAT A THREAT?
Damnit, JD, I'm a doctor, not a monkey!
*Twirls mustache*
Welcome to Phalla, Papillon
I will vote for someone after I get back from watching Transformers again- I mean, checking the engine reactor for anomalies.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Noooo....
No day 1 bandwagons against the new guy. Please?
On the other hand, I must admit it makes some sense to kill me... I'd guess none of the special powers have been "randomly" distributed to any of the new people... so by killing me at least we won't hit a special by accident.
