Cantr II Discussion Forum

Bluffing would be a pointlessly dangerous game at this point, Dr. Sparkle. And I'm hoping that my actions throughout this whole affair speak for themselves.

I am going to suggest that we put Mr. Floyd into an escape pod and calculate a trajectory that could put him on the same path as Captain Surly. The two can share whatever fate is in store for them. I'll leave it to you to decide.

Hmm...well I can think you are trying to rush to vote for Mr. Floyd to cover your own back...

shrugs

I just don't know. I'll wait to hear from Mikki.

Time is relative in space, Sparkle. I'm in no rush. I believe in Mikki, same as you. I've volunteered to be checked. I've sided with her decisions. And just so we're being perfectly clear on these matters; she's the one who suggested voting for a sleeper just a few minutes ago.

Yeah, but I'm still wondering why the killers didn't kill Mikki...

sighs

*she shrugs* I am not sure to be honest.. But Mr. Floyd is the one that I am going to vote on.. I will check one of the remaining two tonight and then we will go from there.. But please know that if I die tonight that it is either Dr. Meisora or Dr. Smart.. Those are the only two remaining.. It will then be up to you..

*Wakes up hurriedly an urgent sense of forboding hanging above his head as he realises the people calling his name, are in fact, voting to shoot him from the spacship in an amazingly uncomfortable pod at stupidly high speeds*

No wait! It's not me! I'm not the Monster! you have to believe me! ok.. so i may not have been perfect.. In fact i do have a confession to make.. Since this whole... Serieis of events *He shudders* Began, i've been raiding the medics locker with a key i stole and copied... I've been hitting the anesthetic and painkillers pretty hard.. I couldent bear to witness these terrible.. Scenes *He shudders again* Please withdraw your votes for me, and i promise to clean up my wicked ways and help you discover exactly whats been going on here... Or please, at least provide me with a pillow, a large box of pills and some of that really strong pink anesthetic that the Doc keeps! Please, I beg you! dont vote for Floyd! Dont Vote for Floyd *He begins pumping his fist up and down* Dont vote for floyd!... I'll pay you?

Mr. Floyd

She turns to him

Now you speak...

That's a poor excuse Floyd... and Dr. Sparkle is right. You sleep this whole time and now only when the vote makes it necessary for you to speak do you open your mouth. *he frowns and then turns away*

My vote stands.

Well.. i cant say i blame you *He nods* It's probally for the best... *He walks hurriedly out of the room and runs off to collect the medicine, a pillow and to find a real sucure place to hide*

*she looks at the remaining people in the room.* I pray we are doing the right thing.. *she sighs and looks down* I.. I... just dont know what to do.. *she looks at Sparkle and whispers to her*

*Pops his head round the door* You really shouldent kill me you know, I can be rather nice once you get to know me... *Scurries off*

*she yells out after him* You shouldn't hide because we can find you, Mr. Floyd.. *she walks back inside and sits down with a sigh*

*Opens the door* I dont know about that, I've allways thought of my hiding and espicially my scuryying abilities to be top class... And it really, really isn't me by the way, i cant reinforce that point enough i feel... i mean.. C'mon! C'mon! *walks out the dorr, closing behind him, after a couple of minutes he opens the door slightly and pokes his head around the corner* Dont vote Floyd! *He runs off in a scurrying manner*

OOC: Come on already!!!!!

Lacking sufficient personnel to maintain full functionality, the main computer encounters a bug in its voice processor. Only by checking the computer readouts does the crew realize how dangerously close they are to Stasis.

The votes are in, however, and Mr. Floyd, still protesting his innocence, is placed into the non-colonist Cargo hold. Although it's pressurized outside of Stasis, during hyperdrive, it is the lowest priority for maintaining structural integrity. Micro-fractures in the hull, while not critical during Wake periods, can prove lethal during the hyperdrive jumps. Also, there's the simple fact that no waking person can survive a hyperjump...

The crew turns away from the cargo hold, hearts heavy. After a few minutes, Mr. Floyd stops protesting, and the crew returns to their chambers. They enter stasis, not a one able to meet the others' eyes.
