ROLE — OCTO MEETING

[dropoffs]

ALL ROLES ON DECK

welcome, DESIGNATIONS.

On MONDAY afternoon, some hours after landing on Acquada, then the new amenities to the ship, our super secret living designations will receive a message from Senior Crew. There is a silent ping, so as not to give away anything to those they might be around.

We have decided to combine our meetings together this week and we have objectives we would like to accomplish. They may seem lofty, but with joined efforts we seek to make progress this week.

Sr. Crew

They have seen the command room before in passing. It's the room where the senior crew often check all sort of stuff from metrics, diagnostics, navigation, supply, inventory... You get the point. There are a number of terminals, all of which the current junior crew roles know they do not normally have access to.

There waits all eight senior officers, pensive and tense.

Roles are free to use this post across the IC week.

TL;DR

This is a communal role meeting with new objectives for the eight roles. While not every role will have a specialized task, roles are free to group up on tasks to better processes and increase success rate! Roles may collaborate to test methods or run trials in this post.

The NPCs have posed that immediately they'd like to focus on:

🚀 Preventing murder and death this week.
🚀 Devise a plan to return the dead and implement it. We can pose Friday possibly as being the day to organize with the public if IC help is wanted/needed!

DEADLINE IS BEFORE THURSDAY CURFEW. Submit here.

NPCs are interested in other related topics such as the origin of pink haze, CEM waves, etc. and are open to performing investigations or tasks to better understand the situation on the Eudora.

If ... there's no helping someone who's already gone into a rage beyond death, are we considering that person a lost soul? Nothing to be done? Or is there something we can do to prevent that part of it all together?

Otherwise, perhaps it is engineering a scenario within our power. Directing Arthur's power.

[riverbeans]

I'm still interested in finding a general solution to the rage, personally, even if Scrap's items are the only lead we have on that front.

[tombtaker]

Where are we on the idea we have a cure for it? Anything noteworthy?

[sexyasmieu]

If we find out what Scrap's putting in that stuff, then maybe we'll know what actually has an effect on this?

Then we just... make something stronger!

[tombtaker]

That's interesting.

Perhaps crafting some sort of concoction and if we can lock them in a room by themselves, pumping it in. To clear their head.

[roseoftexas]

I don't really want to assume they can't be helped. It's more... I don't know how much the cameras can help when they're only recording what's happening. For the to be of any "use", they'd be catching a murder in progress.

It'd be better if we could stop it ahead of time.

[tombtaker]

To be frank, as of right now they can't. That could change by the end of the week, but I don't think it aides us to pretend it isn't going to be a problem we should consider.

[roseoftexas]

Sounds like we're going to need to figure out some way, or that's what this is for. What are the people who went into a "rage beyond death" like over there?

[tombtaker]

Completely back to normal, far as I could tell.

[riverbeans]

Mm-hmm. That's what they've said to us as well—everyone's normal again.

[roseoftexas]

[ well, that's a start. ]

It's just the process of cheating death that's going to be the hurdle, then.

[thematics]

How would we engineer that? The only surefire way I can think of for us to know in advance who would kill and be killed would be if some of us volunteered. Which would let Starling know who to pick and all—but wouldn't prevent another murder from happening at the same time.

[expiries]

What do you mean by volunteering? Hasn't it been random up until now?

[thematics]

It has, I assume. I guess the question is: is your power to stop killers and stop the results of the vote, or is it just to prevent people from succumbing to the... rage virus or whatever?

[expiries]

[coughing hard for a second before continuing]

I'll confirm with Io.

[thematics]

How did you not know this already...
