Find The Founders - Game Thread

[Grundig]

If you go to sleep, the Founders win. The only way for the Covert Ops team to win is if they vote to kill both founders without sleeping.

So, I guess our fate is sealed
we're gonna die. And that's it really.
So I'll be writing my will to be put into a transmission to SF, by the time they get it we will probably all be dead and forgotten
Unless someone really doesn't want to sleep
I mean besides stitch.

Thats uh..thats positive. But accurate I suppose. Do we have a record of our troubles so that whoever finds us knows what happened?

[Mark]

Well, we need to decide what we are going to do then. Because, we need to stop the founders. Maybe we should just set the auto destruct, and all go down together? Well, I'm not quite ready to do that yet. How sure are you about MM&I, Stitch?

[stitch626]

Just as sure as I was about Teaos. As sure as I am of this ship being solid.

[Mark]

I have to ask what makes you so sure. Do you have some "inside" information? That the rest of us my not know about?

[stitch626]

As I said before, MM&I was so quick to let Teaos freeze. He was also on watch at the time of Reliant's death. And, just now, he preferred to sleep and die than stay awake. If he were not a Founder, he would have done what you did, which is change his mind about sleeping.

{O.O.C In my defense, by the time I was back online to have the oppurtunity to change my vote, the decision was made).

So better we all die of exhaustion or go crazy and kill each other? {pauses, ponders} You know..that may be preferable. You want us to stay awake? Thats fine.

[stitch626]

Changing your mind after I say it isn't very convincing.

[Mark]

Hmm.....I see your point. As he was on guard duty when Reliant was killed, it would have been so easy for him to do it quietly. And Teaos, who VOLUNTEERED to step out of the airlock sure was quickly backed in his idea, by both MM&I AND Rochey. Things got quickly pushed before I could voice my opinion.

I'm sort of starting to agree with you Stitch

[Sonic Glitch]

Fair point. Whatever the other 4 decide, I'll abide by. It doesn't really matter to me, I just want to live. As do we all yes?

[stitch626]

Well, we know that Nick won't vote to space him without conclusive evidence. Haven't seen Rochey. Depending on his vote may make up my mind about him.

Oh, also, early when we first found Grundig, MM&I was missing for a while. Rochey told us about the damaged sensors and then MM&I showed up.

[Mark]

You know, I'm starting to think that the auto destruct system actually ISN'T such a ridiculous idea. As Starfleet officers, we have a certain duty. We have founders aboard. We are starting to all go a little nuts here. Maybe that is the best solution? If the founders kill us, they will have a Federation ship and can do ANYWHERE undetected. Is perhaps now the time to lay down our lives to stop the founders? After all, the deaths of one or two founders will hurt their great link ALOT more that the loss of a few starfleet officers will hurt the Federation.

What do you guys think? Auto-destruct to get them, since we can't be 100% sure?

[stitch626]

I'm not so fond of dying at all. I am sure enough of MM&I. While I am not sure enough of either Rochey or Nick, I am not comfortable with the idea of being blown to pieces.

However, I am going to have a last meal, just in case the rest of you prefer death by explosion.

:: goes and replicates a pizza ::
If we do anything though, we need Rochey's vote.

[Grundig]

Well then everyone loses!
