*** HMS Thanatus Game Thread ***

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna observes TarJak at work and thinks to himself "You'd better be sharpish bonny lad, there aren't that many down here.......If only we could decouple the rescue sub and be on our way. This place is beginning to give me the creeps".

As Taskforce heads off to his bunk in the dark Jimbuna, Mookiemookie
and Tarjak are all behind him in the shadows. All three attack him at
once and take no chances - he could be the monster!

As Taskforce slips into the peace of death he shows no sign of being
anything other than human. In his eyes is a mix of disbelief and terror.
He leaves behind a wife and 3 children as well as a career in deep sea
rescue.

Raptor is declared the new leader.

[Nokia]

"So this is what it's come to, is it not enough that some monster is killing our comrades? Poor task force, I wonder how his family will react when they hear how he died."

*Goes to bed and tries to get some sleep*

[CaptainHaplo]

Walks over to tarjak and speaks quietly in the light of the laptop.

"Was killing truly necessary? We are scientists, we must act on data, not on whims. I can't believe you participated in that. I know you want to insure everyone's safety, but we need to think clearly before we act. Perhaps when we get out of here the conditions will be such that you can claim a temporary madness."

Leans in closer to the laptop - "what did you find?"

[Chad]

Raptor, the command and responsibility is yours. I will be working with UnderseaLcpl, who I swear is a civilian interrogator, on terms of finding out who's behind this mess.

Though you are in command, it does not immediately rule you out from the one who is behind all of this, we will be watching you as well as everyone else

[Chad]

Tarjak, we need to talk, privately, if you get my meaning

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna eyes up Chad and Captain Haplo and wonders what they are really up to whilst thinking to himself "Typical, one a civilian and the other a fair weather sailor no doubt, both wise after the event, one abstains and the other bugga didn't even vote, yet now they feel a sudden surge of courage in questioning the methods of those who at least had the courage and genuine belief to act and in doing so attempt to rid us, and them included of whatever it is that stalks us.......yes Jimbuna my old son you've been landed with a right bunch this time."

"I wonder how that brave Kaleun back in the last great war dealt with the situation against those werewolves?"

He sits at the back of the room and asks himself "I wonder if they're frightened of drawing adverse attention to themselves.....well now they have a definite advantage, if the don't vote and get kicked out of the escape hatch order isn't carried out what's the point of voting at all?"

"Time to have a scout around and see who else is into red lacey attire and seeing as TarJak made reference to a crustacean I suppose anyone with a dose of crabs could well be suspect to."

[SandyCaesar]

"That...that was horrible. Was it truly necessary? Raptor, sir, you're the leader now."

[Raptor1]

*wakes up*

AAAAAAAAAH, the reactor is leaking!

*tries to stabilize breathing*

Phew, just a dream...at least it's not those bloody safety protocols anymore...

*looks around, gets up and staggers to the bar*

By god, how long was I out? What happened?

[Jimbuna]

*sitting across from Raptor1*

"Where were you last night? Hiding under your blanket whilst others were left to make decisions....don't ever moan about the political mess up on the surface if your not prepared to vote. And if this is your idea of leadership, God help us all"

*Jimbuna kicks the bar stool over and stomps out of the room*

[Raptor1]

What? Leadership, politics? What was he talking about?

*talks fast*

The Admiral, I need to talk to the Admiral, where is he?

*Wakes up to the darkness from talking*

"Awwww... man! My internal clock must be messed up mighty fierce! And who's talking, waking me up?"

[Tarrasque]

*Heads back down after a fruitless day trying to jury rig some comms gear and makes his way to the bar. Over hearing news of Taskforce's death, the colour drains from his face*

"They actually did it. What is happening on board this vessel? If we don't get rescued soon then we'll all be dead with lynchings and the rule of the mob."

*Walks over to Raptor and salutes*

"Sir, with respect, we need to do something to find Taskforce's murderers. If not the situation on board will deteriorate rapidly."

[Raptor1]

Murderers? What are you talking about?!

*tries to calm down*

Okay, tell me everything that happened since I went to my cabin...everything...

"Wait! Murderers?! Man, what is up with this place?!"
