*** HMS Thanatus Game Thread ***

*Walks in with Jalu, hears what Tarjak says*

"So what does this mean?"

[SandyCaesar]

"It means that there's probably a gigantic lobster around here somewhere. Tell Cookie to break out the butter, I want that thing on a silver platter!"

"Well, well. Looks like my seafood restraunt experience is going to come in nicely. And if anyone needs me, I'll be in my bunk. Preferably asleep."

[TarJak]

"It means gentlemen that we may have at least one very dangerous animal loose aboard this vessel and we need to find it or them without losing any more of the crew."

Look at this UnderseaLcpl; I don't see how one species could have made these different abrasions and cuts. It doesn't add up."


"By the same token Why would two different species feed... er... hunt in unison?"

"You majored in marine biology, are there any precedents that might point to what we are dealing with?"

[Chad]

Shoot me?! You all must be mad!

I ask that you seriously reconsider. I have been busy in the reactor room trying to figure out what the heck is going on here.

[TarJak]

"I don't think there is a need to be shooting anybody! This isn't the Lost Empire of Atlantis you know."

"Firstly we need to find the creature that killed Letum. Lt Raptor, I'd suggest forming a search party."

......

[Nokia]

*Hears that the Vice Admiral is dead on the way to the coffeemaker*

"What the bloody he** has happened?! First Letum and now Stealth Hunter! We better get that rescue sub working before anyone else gets to meet their maker."

*Goes and gets the coffee and then goes to the rescue sub to continue work*

"Anything new on sub or the Vice admirals murder?"

** I vote Raptor1 for leader and abstain from lynch vote**

[Tarrasque]

*Swings himself out of bed and on his way to the mess for a bite to eat hears the news*

"Are you all insane? Should someone be a murderer, then they'll be brigged and held for court martial on his return. I neither want to hear or be a part of any more talk of lynching people.

And as for this talk of electing a leader, this is a naval submarine not a meeting of the WI. Lt. Chad has seniority therefore Lt. Chad is in command."

*Shaking his head at how low the standards for submariners seems to be these days, he heads up to the Comms Room to see if he can jury rig anything to contact the surface.*

[Letum]

Here here...

Jimbuna walks into the Vice Admirals cabin and peruses the carnage within.

"What in Gods name could have done this" he thinks to himself.

He looks around at the men assembled in the room and weighs up what few facts he has gleaned in such a short time aboard this cursed tin coffin.

He addresses the assembly..."This reminds me of the story I heard about those werewolves during the last great war in Norway. There are a few similarities here, a definite pattern is beginning to form even at this early stage....if you are to believe what the story tells you.....

1) Who was amongst the first on the scene of this carnage?
2) Who has more to say/speculate than the rest of us all combined whilst protesting his innocence and alleging he knows nothing of the true facts?
3)Who is amongst the first to cast a vote?

First my vote for the new commander of the boat.

The vessel belongs to the Royal Navy so it is only correct that the next officer in the chain of command should be a naval rank. A civilian person should never be allowed to take command of a warship, so IMO that omits the science and observation team.

The rescue crew being naval means that they could take over command but only in extreme circumstances and I don't believe we are at that level of seriousness yet.

I vote for Chad to take command.

Now my vote for lynching.

If there is a creature or creatures down below decks they have obviously developed a taste for not only seafood but meat and flesh as well.

I say we should try and satisfy its hunger on something different from the above....we should attempt to change its dietry craving to something different from what its used to.

Let us see if we can at least sicken it off with a good helping of spam.

My vote for lynching is.....Task Force

Let me figure out something here.

::Having been knocked unconcious when the sub went down, he finally woke up with a splitting headache in a bunk in his cabin. He wasn't where he was when he got knocked, out, nor could he remember exactly what he was doing when he got knocked out, but believes he remembers a large metal object just before waking up. Feeling his head he could feel that it was wrapped up very well with bandaging, and it was dry. At least there was that; that he didn't blead out. God knows what would happen if they couldn't have stopped the bleeding. Was I bleeding? There are no medical doctors on subs?!?::

Hello? Anyone?

::The emptiness of his cabin answers his statement::

Vote for Nokia for Leader
Abstain on Lynch Vote

[TarJak]

Vote:
Leader = UnderseaLcpl as the leader of the scientific mission.

Lynching: Well if we must then I'm rather supsicious of that TaskForce fellow. He seems to know more than he is letting on in my estimation.

[mookiemookie]

*mookie stands with jimbuna in the Vice Admiral's cabin* You make a well reasoned argument.

What's with this red hood and gown? *mookie lifts the fabric* It looks like some sort of ritual type thing. Not exactly bedclothes, I'd say.

What was Stealth Hunter into here? Some kind of cult?

There's a murderer loose on this ship and I suppose the only form of justice is going to, for good or for ill, be based on our own suspicions.

In any case, I vote for Tarjak for leader and Task Force for my lynch vote. Task Force seems to know just a bit too much.

[TarJak]

TarJak inspects the scene and starts taking measurements and readings using his equipment.

"Whatever killed Letum also killed Stealth Hunter!"
