I am the most trustworthy person on the ship, which was why I used my Empathic ability today, so it would be trusted.

The Spawn attacked Jmilum last night and no one unexpected was exhausted. The only way a second attack could have been initiated was if the Hive Mind was not doing their job. Engineer Jwan did do his job (engines were fixed), so he can't be hive mind/didn't use second attack option. I guess one of the security people could be the hive mind.

Anyway, we have a Spawn. It is very unlikely he is spawned. And if we find ourselves checking and re-checking every fact we will lose. We have an easy lynch here. If Jwan turns out to be only spawned, it still gives us valuable information about who the other Spawn are.

Hehehe, sometimes I think I'm the only one who reads all of KM's rules.

"You begin with a random amount of supplies and rooms damaged. At least two of the players are Spawn - at minimum one Hive Mind and one Spawn Queen."

Fingers are now being pointed and theroys are developing. Lets check the last away mission (One person) and see what we get. That is sounded like way the crew wants it.

I think it is also fair to point out that, although the spawnling attack allegedly is much weaker and we have extra ranks of Resistant in defence, I have never known of one to fail.

This is irrelevant for the current time as I was not attacked. If we lynch Jwan and he is found to be human, feel free to string me up tomorrow.

Agreed. As much as I love using Occam's Razor theory on a mission, I've found that it goes out the window as soon as we get KM as our computer.

(Be back in an hour or two, sunlight beckons.)

Mod: I am concerned that Peregrine has not posted today.... since he is not in the chain of command, his action cannot be proxied today. We really need him to do a check before the away team leaves.....

Hey, some of us work at night and have to sleep during the day, I just woke up. So, is it the consensus that I check jaredh?

sorry, I was just used to you posting a lot during the day yesterday. Yes, check jaredh now as he is going to lead the away team at 4pmCST (~50 min. from now)

Okay, checking jaredh now.

A medical examination has been conducted by Doctor Pergerine. He has taken a look at jaredh. Diagnosis: HUMAN

Ta Da! Told ya. Can we now focus attention on those that we don't trust yet?

All right, let's go, away team!

I'm not going to be around much longer today as it is a coworker's last day and thus some drinking is required. Any posts I make after 5pm or so that sound rambling or incoherent are due to that. Well, more than usual anyway.

Great, so I guess the away team is a go now? I will be gone for a few hours (I have to go get the kid).
I will be back before lynch time.

Ok, I've taken the crew and divided them based on my level of trust AT THIS POINT:

Absolute Trust:
First Officer jaredh
Security Crewman shugyosha

Trusted:
Captain Latria
Technomancer Logan
Scientist GoldPanda

Thinking about it:
Chief of Security jmilum
Communications Specialist Javal
Security Crewman greek2me
Security Crewman Woundwart
Doctor Peregrine
Engineer xandryyte
Engineer Geniesse
Private ITNinja9
Galley Master MoonMonster

Suspect:
Engineer jwandke
Nurse shallowed

Based on this, my vote is still standing, and I'm sending the following away team:

jaredh, latria, GoldPanda, shugyosha, Logan for 3 units water, 5 units crystal

An Away Team has been assembled comprised of the following members:

First Officer jaredh
Captain Latria
Private shugyosha
Scientist GoldPanda
Technomancer Logan

3 Hours devoted to Water produced: 0.72 Units - (Average Range)
This brings your total to 3.24 Units of Water.

5 Hours devoted to Crystal produced: 2.50 Units - (Far Above Average Range)
You've acquired a "Full Load" of Crystal. No need to mine it anymore.
Seems a little light on water doesn't it? Well, assuming we can't kill like five crew members... I suppose we're all praying for a miracle, eh?

Hmm. I'm suspicious. We won't be looking for crystal any more.

well, whatever... stuck on the planet for another day now... probably should serve some coffee for the overnight.

Oh, and is there any other reason besides the fact that i'm a lewd crude dude that puts me on your suspect list? Mr. First-Asshole?

Sure, the Captain suspects you. And you just served coffee without DISCUSSING it with the rest of us, further reducing our water supply!

There's nothing to be suspicious of. We got an average haul of water. The computer predicted we would get less than 1 unit with a 3 hour water search. I hope the miracle worker can do his magic, it might be just enough, especially if we lynch one person tonight. I recommend you hold the coffee for now.

Computer, please provide your calculation on water required for liftoff. If I understand correctly:

16 people x .05 X 4 (3 days supply, 1 for the morning before launch)

That comes to 3.2. 3.24 is more than that???

Hmm, weren't we going to keep the coffee to a minimum? Or is the idea that we'll definitely get enough on tomorrow's mission to take off the day after?

That crappy water yield means one of them is spawn, yes? Good thing we already used our doctor check and any one of the could be ready to pop out of a tummy and gum me to death.

I think from now on we should wait until after away teams return to check anything if we're checking members of the team. I'd rather get low water yields than die in my sleep. Just my two cents.

Comm Officer: are you going to open a channel between me and Shug anytime soon? or have you opened it between him and Woundwort?

Also, vote jwandke. Now, one quick question: if Shug is Absolute Trust, how is he an empath?

That's all for now, but I have my eye on all of you. I heard about what happened to the "plan" of the Praxis et. al. Plans never work.
