MM&I, I can be doing one of two things right now, joking or whimpering in fear right about now. You SURE you want me to stop joking?
That's why I didn't suggest we shoot you first. . Sompe people use (bad) humor to deal w/ these things. BTW, what've you got in that flask there?

Trust me, bourbons fine. I think we could all use a little of that by now..

3/7 in favour of killing Mikey. If we get just one more, we have a majority.

So, this is what a witch-hunt feels like? You should be thankful you were tested, Rochey - by the way you acted, that's barely enough to convince me that you weren't a Founder. Anyway, here - give me a drink of that firewater Mark's got, and test me. I happily volunteer for it.
I mean, it is intriguing that the guy who "found" Lazar's body, and was presumably with Lazar when he assumed room temperature, is also the only person who can test for Founder-ness, but even so... go ahead and test me first.
I can't stand nothing dull

I'm going to have to vote yes....he was arguing awfully hard to both kill our medic, presumidly, and to protect the founder, that means he's either a founder, or...well....we don't need someones concious getting in the way of killing off these founders, if they survive Starfleet could be in trouble.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
*sigh* I could have sworn you were around for that conversation... I argued to shoot one of two people who may have been a Founder. *bares arm* Go ahead, then.

That's 4/7 in favour. Sorry Mikey, but I'm not taking chances.
Anyone want to volunteer to do this, or shall I do it myself?

With no one else volunteering, Rochey pulled out his phaser. Just then, everyones vision blurred.
"Someone dropped a flash granade!" came a shout that sounded like Deep.
A few seconds later, their vision cleared. Rochey turned to look for Mikey. Instead, he found two Staplics.
"Aw crap." both Staplics said in unison.
"You think your clever, huh Founder? Well, so am I." Rochey said as he fired on one of the Staplics.
The other Staplic looked on in amazement. "How'd you guess he was the Founder?"
Deep lifted his phaser rifle and quickly fired at the standing Staplic. He vanished as his body was vaporised.
Deep looked at Rochey and chuckled, "That was on stun, right?"
Rochey checked his phaser as Staplic began to come around. "Yeah, it was."
Everyone laughed as Staplic stared at Rochey.
"You shot me! Why the hell did you shoot me!?" Staplic shouted.
Rochey smiled. "Relax. I made sure the phaser was set to medium stun. If you were knocked unconsious, you were human. If you were just slightly dazed or changed to liquid, you were a Founder."
"Right..." Staplic said, unconvinced.
Deep looks at MM&I. "Now, pick someone to test."
Night!!!
No trees were killed in transmission of this message. However, some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.
MM&I pulled out a hypospray.
"Alrighty, eni-meni-mini-mo... what? I'm kidding. I already have my sample, just waiting for the results."
At that, everyone prepared for the coming night. The sun had already set past the horizon, and the last glimmer of daylight receding into darkness. Unfortunately, either due to the eventful day or a sense of calm after eliminating two Founders, no one thought to set up watches. Its not like it would have done them any good anyway.
MM&I stared at the test results. He knew he must be missing something.
"I was sure of it. If he isn't a Founder, then who is?"
"Me." came a fluid voice behind him.
Before MM&I could react, the Founder wrapped around him completely. After a few seconds of struggling, the Founder sliced open his back and separated his bones from his skin and muscles. The dead remains of MM&I collapsed to the ground. The Founder took MM&I's skeletal remains (with many organs still attached) and brought it to the entrance of the cave. He smiled thinking of the reaction of the first man awake.
Smashing the test results, the Founder returned to his position awaiting morning.
Wake up!!!!
