"Is the pressure of command getting to you? If you are concerned about it stick me in the brig with Baggy."

"i'm sick of the lack of leadership on this boat!" We need to work together or we are all going to get picked off."

I would like to submit a request to Raptor1 for brig time to whomever gets lynched. We do not yet have enough evidence for a conclusive conviction, but we are close.

Just one day, two at most, and we'll have something substantial.

*Oberon hears of Haplos death.*

"So...the beast still walks amongst us...just when we felt safe. How many can there be?!"

"...eleven of us remain, I along with Nokia and Jim are all that remain of the crew that set out to rescue this boat. Tonight, someone else will die, be it at our hands or at the hands of the beast."

*He sits down near the heavy lift.*

"More of the crew remain than of the civilian staff or rescue submarine crew...it is logical to assume, therefore, that the beast may lurk amongst the crew. I will go with Jim on this one."

"I vote for Raptor to continue as leader, and for Tarrasque for lynching. God help us all."

I echo this request.

I will gladly put whoever is decided on in the brig, if it saves an innocent from random lynching.

"Well I'm going to get on with testing the samples I have. Anyone who hasn't provided one yet is a suspect in my book"

*Starts work on examining the results of the first sample which appears to be human*

"This will take some time and concentration so please don't disturb me whilst I still have light to work by."

I don't think the beast is actually bent on killing members of other crews, but as long as we have no more evidence to go on, it is likelier that it's from the submarine's crew simply because there are more than other crews.

*Stumbles in the bar and to the coffeemaker*

"Damn, I need some coffee. And is this commotion about Haplo being dead true? I guess it was inevitable that someone would die."

*Takes the coffee and heads back to the rescue sub*

"I'll keep working on the sub so we can get out of here ASAP."

**I vote Jimbuna for leader and also agree with Undersea and Oberon that whoever is voted for lynch is put in the brig.***

FFS!!!!!!!! People were just beginning to take teir lambswool cardigans off, prise the fence post they were sitting on from out of their ar$e and now they're putting freakin sheepskins back on!!!!

What's the bloody point of voting at all????

Why not everyone just abstain till the end of time????

Someone please tell me this is the draft for the script of a return of Monty Python :doh:

*Jimbuna storms into the room and confronts the cosy/jolly boys congregation*

"Right!! Now I get that uncomfortable feeling....you know what it is when your pi$$ starts to boil!!

I'm up for a leadership contest if those that have any misgivings on progress so far are prepared to come up from under their blankets and suddenly find the courage of their convictions.

Never ask a boy to do a mans work....cometh the hour cometh the man, and all that.

This boat is now firmly stuck in the mud....time to get it free.

Time to vote.....no need to choose a lynching....what's the point now?

Your alternative is to maintain your pacifist type stance and be shoehorned into one camp or the other and get picked off one by one.

I WILL BE VOTING BEFORE THE 16:00GMT DEADLINE.

No prizes for guessing which way either"

*Fills his mug with bug juice, pulls a hip flask from inside his tunic, pours a sizeable measure of its contents into the mug, turns toward them and says "Do you know what this is?......Dark Rum, better known as Nelsons Blood......Christ he'd be embarrassed to know some of you consider yourselves to be naval men!!". Replaces the hip flask and storms off out of the room, heading towards the rescue sub*

Right, and I am sure Lord Nelson would have gladly participated in the indiscriminate killing of his own men in a situation like this...

If you think you can do a better job as leader and the rest of the crew thinks so too, by all means, go ahead. My duty as the ranking officer is to do what is best for the crew, which I will continue to attempt to do even if another leader is chosen.

Can you feel the 'scales' on the back of your neck starting to rise?

*Oberon fingers the knife in his pocket and mumbles to himself.*

"Looks like our biggest enemy is ourselves."

*He trundles off to the gym to work out.*

*sits down*

Tell me Mr. Jimbuna, have you ever seen a group of civilians...lined up and shot, not because they were accused of anything, but just because they were of a different race or faith?

*drinks bug juice*

Have you ever seen something like that happen, then watched as the ones who refused to participate in the slaughter were themselves shot?

*gulps down the rest of the mug*

You might be keen on randomly killing people now, but I'd think you would know better if you had seen what I saw...

*sits down opposite Raptor!*

"Let me tell you one thing about Lord Nelson. He was British, as am I. He did not dither or pussyfoot around when he was in sight of his enemy, and that is why Britain has a military backround that is second to none.

Because of your failure to act, people have been forced to hide behind one another and accept the inevitable slow, random, slaughter we have all seen thus far.

Better to live a short eventful life than a long meaningless one"

I vote for Jimbuna as leader.

I also vote for Raptor1 to be lynched (but knowing full well that is not going to happen).

Let us proceed and make meaningful progress.

Why not choose your sign everyone.
