I have to agree with Mr. Nokia here...

*gulps down bug juice*

...we can't just kill random people...

"And its easy to slam down an empty cup - why not put some bug juice in it - then slam it down empty after drinking?"

"Is that a scientific fact?. Look at what has occured so far....almost half the poor bloody unfortunates down here have either yet to vote or have abstained repeatedly and some piece of sh!t is sitting back feeling real cosy just watching us pick each other off one by one. Ever played 'Texas Hold-Em'? It's a great game, but only if your holding the aces"

"If your house is riddled with vernom and you can't find their nest, you sometimes need to take drastic measures to flush em out"

"When in doubt, apathy and indecision is your biggest enemy"

I do believe the text read "emptied" as in 'was full but was now empty as a result of having been drunk/consumed'

*Refills the cup...drinks it and slams the bugga down again (seeing as how it has once again been 'emptied') for 'impact' purposes.

"Nokia I heard those noises too. I didn't know what they were but if they are propellers, then somebody must be using a boat nearby."


"Is there a way we can contact them?"

"well jimbuna - thats good enough for me!"

*Oberon looks over at Tarjak*

"Tarjak, you've been busy with that laptop of yours. What have you found?"

"Righteo....let us hope we are looking at an end to the apathy and indecision......BE MORE AGGRESSIVE"

"I'm going back to the rescue sub to have another go at sorting out that faulty seal. If any of you are willing to help or are thinking of popping over to see how I'm getting along....make a little noise and warn me of your approach....unless your wearing a bullet proof brain"

*Taps the 9mm Browning underneath his tunic, fills his mug with bug juice, takes a hefty gulp and proceeds to the rescue sub*

"I'll come with you jimbuna."

*Follows jimbuna and on the way out leaves the pistol taken from the captains cabin on the table*

"I won't be needing two pistols so I believe I can trust one of you with this"

*Takes the standard German P8 service pistol from his pocket and puts it back in it's holster where the captains pistol just had been.*

***AFK until about 6.30am (GMT)***

*Turns to Nokia*

"I've a few Claymores I'd put aside for 'any extreme eventualities' I hope your not adverse to fireworks. We'll share the watch over the integrity of the rescue sub during the night"

*They both proceed to the rescue sub*

Firstly, how do you know AVSM was a Guardian? Did he have an amulet or some such about his person? I was also under the impression from the old folk tales that a Guardian COULD protect himself from an attack, from all, but the most powerful of creatures? Furthermore, if the guardian was felled in the line of duty, then his charge would also have been slain, and if AVSM was felled in the line of duty, then AVSM must have been protecting Roman. But... you seem to know things that I think you should explain further, as your current explanation is lacking in detail.

Secondly that image, if the brightness corresponds to height, then the thing with a balck blob on it has the same shape as a square based pyramid. Surely though, the sub should be at the centre of the sonar scan, not to one side, where the black blob is?

"Me too. They've been bugging me to vote their way or they'd kill me. I think they tried to do it the night Chad was killed, but the comotion stopped them! I don't know what to do, but we need to stop them!":nope:

"Well - if its down to who we suspect, I have to say UnderseaLCpl is the most suspicious of the lot that has refused to drink anything. Baggy would be right on that list too, but seeing as he is locked in the brig, I can't say he has had a chance to drink anything. Not to mention, the chances of 2 monsters in the rescue crew are unlikely.

Unless..... maybe the "rescue crew" isn't really a rescue crew at all....
What if some of them ARE the monsters - sabotaging the rescue sub so that even if someone else found us, the couldnt rescue us in time? Something we will have to consider going forward."

"I strongly suggest anyone that wants to avoid being voted into the next world get into the bar and drink some known good bug juice before the next death occurs."

"Also - if someone is "on the human side" - how can they be if they threaten a lynching? Either your human - or not. You may have some special ability, but your still human, no? If yes, then lynching someone on their own team makes no sense. Anyone who would threaten to lynch another human KNOWINGLY to coerce - can't be trying to survive, as we need ALL our talents and wits to live through this. I suggest anyone making such a threat is very likely a monster among us, one way or the other!"

*Votes Undersea for lynching

**edited to correct an error**

What Silverraptor says is true. Everyone on this boat has been contacted by the investigation at one point or another,whether they know it or not. Some of you have spoken to, or been interrogated by me, as well.

Silverraptor has been under investigation for a while now, but the move to lynch him yesterday was thwarted by too little action too late on our part while we waited for some more evidence.


What you all need to know now is that the investigation is on your side, and that Silverraptor is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a monster. When the time comes, we expect to see everyone on this boat vote to lynch him, with no brig sentence.


@ CH, lynch SR today and then decide if I'm the enemy.

"Interesting conclusion, UnderseaLcpl. I've known for a while that you've been suspicious of him...but 'beyond the shadow of a doubt', hmm?

On the other side of the coin...how do I trust you on this one? By your own admission no less than five people have claimed to be guardians, and Silver was one of them. Now it would make sense for them to do that, so that the monsters wouldn't go for them...where's your proof beyond that? Am I to believe that all five are monsters? Or is this just another hunch?"

"Ha! You suspect me? More like trying to get revenge since I didn't agree with your Merciless acts of 'It's me or death' talk. Who knows who you will organize against after I'm dead. But this has to stop. I will vote against, UnderseaLcpl."

*Pulls out knife that SandyCaesar let him borrow*

"And This is to defend myself if your mob decides to take justice into its own hands!"

"According to what I know - SC cannot be a monster. He has, in full view of everyone, drank something that isn't sea water. You havent. By doing so he has shown he isn't a monster - at least to my understanding. Now, if my grandfather was wrong, then so be it, I may go meet my maker.

But Undersea - I am a scientist. I cannot act on mere supposition. I have no fact that tells me that I should go with your advice. What I do have is as close to fact as I can get right now that your wrong about SilverRaptor. That means either my facts are wrong, or you are. As a scientist, I have to go with the limited data that I have. To lynch someone who has validated themselves as human to the best ability I think we have, on the word of someone who has not - is against the scientific process. I have to go where the data takes me."

"Well if Haplo's grandfather is correct then the simple act of drinking some bug juice or coffee will sort the matter in Haplo's mind anyway."

TarJak has completed his examination of A Very Super Market and is about to move onto Chad's body.

"These autopsies are starting to get me down."

"What was that about a guardian and an amulet?"

He then proceeds to work on Chad's cold dead body to try to determine if there was more to his death...
