Doomed Galactic Journey (Game Thread)

[CCRunner]

The13thRonin should be the one to take the batteries.

 

[scherbchen]

"but what does it do?" couldn't this energy serve some better use down the line, maybe?

 

[Renata]

The geologist shakes her head.

Spare me the veiled threats, Medic. I am cautious by nature, and you are not yet in a state of emergency. Have a little patience, perhaps?

 

[Aramazd]

Professor Abgar decides to speak his mind.

I agree with the geologist Renata, you have plenty of time before you are deactivated. I am not won over by The13thRonin, at this point. We don't even need to know if they are actually android batteries yet.

 

[Splime]

(OOC: Just a reminder, everyone gets two votes, and unless you specify, each time you list a name it's one vote. The batteries will be distributed to the two top vote grabbers, unless someone manages to get over 2/3 of the vote, in which case they take both.)

 

[BananaLee]

I say the batteries should go to e350tb the Counter-Rebel expert. At least we know that he's not the killer. Or is he..?

 

[LightFang]

Ah androids, I see when they built you, Ronin, they forgot to install some tact!

The Biologist says this in a booming voice as he descends the stairs. He's wearing a tie slung around his head like a bandanna, a T-shirt with some obscene words on the front and the back, and tuxedo pants. He is going barefoot.

Winnie was, well, not technically a dear friend because I just met her, but I'm sure that we'd have become dear friends if she had lived longer. Maybe it was all that throwing her hair about. Someone bald is jealous. Or an android.

Well, I'm not sure of anything yet. But I'll keep you all updated!

He jabs each point in the last two sentences with his finger, which upon further inspection is rather greasy. Nobody wants to know why.

 

[PaulusIII]

"I am not sold on giving them to you, Ronin. Let all the other androids speak up why they are so important to the ship's survival, and then I'll decide whom of you needs them the most."

>Greetings all, I believe as a android, and a aide, I am multifunctional and will be of much greater use to the crew. My scientific tools could prove invaluable in getting us out of this mess. I am twice the bot The13thRonin is, his sacrifice in forty-eight hours will also spare one of the human bodies on this ship. Finally, as a program, you know it is impossible for me to be cause a human harm.

Vanguard quickly gathers himself after the discovery of the dead scientist:
"Such a brutal way of killing people. I do not mean to be prejudicent, but it looks to me like only an android can have beheaded someone so easily. Therefore, I am hesitant to give the batteries to any of them. I will instead vote them to E350tb and Benny Lava.

I don't know which android would be the killer, but we will know if it is Ronin in forty-eight hours. Until then... Botetta9000, you seem strangely unnerving to me.

 

[Nictel]

Another dead? This is most disturbing. Now I know I won't be able to sleep at night without the pills from the medication-machine The13thRonin. Other in that these servant droids should be reprogrammed, their behaviour protocols are quite lacking.

 

[e350tb]

I must agree with my commanding officer on this, Botetta9000 is quite disturbing and irregular, compared to other androids on the ship.

 

[Renata]

Not so fast with the accusations of the Botetta. One of my scientist colleagues is already dead -- if this keeps up I may begin to believe that someone sees us as a threat.

I think I want that massage, after all.

 

[The13thRonin]

Glad to know that scores of people would like to pawn off the batteries to people who don't need them. Great idea... Maybe when someone needs some medical assistance later on you might come to regret your decisions.

Everyone should have the right to a fair trial before a jury (if people decide on guilt then at least that's fair) allowing me to die via lack of energy (think of oxygen for you humans) is cowardly, negligent and detrimental to the innocent cause.

I know at least one of you has a spare main battery and I think it is fair to say that I (who ACTUALLY NEEDS THEM) should be the one to receive both spare batteries.

As for all those that claim "Oh Ronin... I'm not entirely convinced of your innocence..." Time to get off your high horses... Is anyone convinced of anyone's innocence yet? No? Can you prove your own damned innocence? No? Are you asking the unfair and the impossible? Yes! Why do I need to prove my innocence? Where are your damnable documents? Eh? Eh?

EDIT: Thank you to the kind people who did vote the batteries to me... Your names have been noted down and I shall abstain from aggression against you in the future should I survive. You have proven to me that you are interested in keeping as many people alive as possible which tells me you're interested in the innocent cause.

I wish I could vote BananaLee to die for his absurd voting logic. I might not be innocent but someone else who might also not be innocent should get the batteries because he doesn't need them, someone who THEMSELVES voted the batteries to me (which I'm grateful for). But Diamondeye deserves the noose much more for his cowardly consensus to simply kill everyone he can who isn't himself because that'd be a great way of finding the killer (disregarding the fact that I actually voted for him to be the leader). Not the actions of any leader I want... And in retrospect I was stupid to vote for him.

I might be just a simple med-bot but it seems that I'm one of the only ones with any real gall here... And if the most of you are content to be killers yourselves by proxy... Depriving your fellow crew of items they need to survive then you deserve your grisly fates... At least the killer/s have the good sense to not act like such damn righteous hypocrites *spits on the ground*. You don't need to be a genius to figure that one out.

 

[BananaLee]

You talk too much, Ronin.

My logic is thus: -

First, Making arrogant demands will not earn you friends and your earnestness is worse than that of a travelling salesman pitching pyramid schemes. So there is an element of spite to not giving you the batteries yet.

Second, one would guess that a Counter-Rebel expert would not be for the rebel cause, whereas a Medic could be apolitical. Therefore, handing the batteries to him for the time being may be a good idea. You have two days after all and if in that time you've proven that you won't be killing us, then we can charge you up.

Third, where I come from, if you take a battery out of a machine, it shuts down. Put it back and it works again so even if we wait for a bit, we can just plug you up again and you'll be driving

Fourth, how the hell did your batteries get stolen? They should be on your person, shouldn't they? And if not, then certainly you don't pull your batteries out to replace with fresh ones because that way you would have run out of charge and "died".

Your logic is flawed, you're a rude prick, and I half-suspect you somehow gave me this cough I have. So yes. You should die.

 

[Kulko]

If somebody stole Ronins Battery last night I assume the other Androids are in similar danger.

Therefore I would not give the Batteries all to one person. I admit I would want one for myself, just to be on the save side. I have certain skills in repairing things that might come handy. The other should go to Ronin as he needs it now.

As for the Source of all this, I am beginning to get suspicious of Vanguard too.

BTW, wouldn't it be a better idea to head back to old vlaxica, as we won't have enough oxygen to reach the colony.

>I simply do not believe your batteries were stolen. Mine are located in the core of my body module, why someone would need to dissemble me to remove them! I call you a liar, you must have stashed your battery.

 

[PaulusIII]

"Weren't androids supposed to make sense at all time? I don't get it."

Marius shakes his head. First Winnie dead and now this.

"Clearly, the Ronin unit is malfunctioning. First, you wish the Vanguard to become captain on the ship, and now you want him dead? That makes no sense at all!"

 

[The13thRonin]

You talk too much, Ronin.

Best to talk to much and not too little... I have nothing to hide... I'm not out to make friends and lead us all down the garden path so we can have fairy cakes and talk of love and free pie for all. I tell it as it is... If you can't handle that then that's your problem... Tell it to the ever depleting oxygen levels.

My logic is thus: -

First, Making arrogant demands will not earn you friends and your earnestness is worse than that of a travelling salesman pitching pyramid schemes. So there is an element of spite to not giving you the batteries yet.

You have agreed that your vote against me is driven by spite and not a drive to actually hunt down the rebels... And your spite is driven by the fact that you don't like what I do and what I say. So how would you have it BananaLee, would you have anyone that disagrees with you propelled out of the airlock into oblivion? Or just the ones that you can get away with (like maybe me)?

Second, one would guess that a Counter-Rebel expert would not be for the rebel cause, whereas a Medic could be apolitical. Therefore, handing the batteries to him for the time being may be a good idea. You have two days after all and if in that time you've proven that you won't be killing us, then we can charge you up.

One could guess (no offense e350tb) that a counter-rebel expert would be an excellent profession to proclaim while hiding ill intentions. Anyone could be a rebel, anyone. Saying at this stage that someone is more likely than someone else because they are allegedly in a profession that makes them more trustworthy makes about as much sense the idea of blowing up the entire ship (because then we'd certainly find the killer)! You don't know how we work. I for one connect up to the power-grid every night to charge my main battery. My main battery has now been stolen and I will effectively DIE if I become deactivated... Much like you would effectively DIE if you ran out of oxygen.

Third, where I come from, if you take a battery out of a machine, it shuts down. Put it back and it works again so even if we wait for a bit, we can just plug you up again and you'll be driving

I'm an android... A-N-D-R-O-I-D... I'm part human, part machine... I'm not the equivalent of your damn toaster oven.

Fourth, how the hell did your batteries get stolen? They should be on your person, shouldn't they? And if not, then certainly you don't pull your batteries out to replace with fresh ones because that way you would have run out of charge and "died".

While I'm recharging (read sleeping) someone came upon my person and took my battery... Obviously this is a rebel-like ability... I'd like Splime to confirm my battery actually has been taken by revealing that it is actually in fact gone *opens up battery flap*.

Your logic is flawed, you're a rude prick, and I half-suspect you somehow gave me this cough I have. So yes. You should die.

My logic is flawed and I'm a rude prick? Sounds like you're getting YOUR emotions confused with YOUR logic. Perhaps the stress of the situation is getting to you? Would you like me to prescribe some medication? I've presented a clear case as to why I should get the batteries and why it would be impossible for me to prove I am innocent and how without the battery I will die and you will lose an asset that doesn't require oxygen to function (effectively the wolf/wolves will be laughing their respective heads off). If you don't want to follow common sense then that's your business but don't even pretend that you're following anything remotely related to logic or common sense. By your own words you are only voting against me due to spite, apathy and self-preservation.

Perhaps I am a rude prick... But at least I'm an honest one at that and at least I do have some semblance of a plan with my votes and am honest in my intentions. Did I sneak around behind people's backs trying to get the batteries? No! I pronounced it in public for all to see.

I implore you all to: A) Put yourselves in my shoes and B) Refute the fact that everything I have said and done up until this point while blunt and crass has been honest and without treachery and to vote accordingly.

I can do everything you can do, an if you get killed off.. more batteries for moi

Heaven help all if this is the quality of the crew that have mobilized against me. That's all I have to say on that particular issue.
