"Hey Ryan," Anthony greeted.
"Hey Bryan. What's up?"
Anthony sighed. "I dunno. Just trying to keep busy, and not think... yeah, just keeping busy."
"I know the feeling," Ryan replied. "Well, we could head down to the..."
As Ryan opened the door to the lower deck storage lockers, his face turned ashen.
"What is it...? Ryan?"
Ryan stepped to one side to reveal Raydawn, laying dead upon the floor.
"They've already started..." Anthony said.
"Go get Swift. He should be told."
"Yeah... yeah, I'll go."
Ryan entered and knelt to examine the body. It was propped up against a pillar in the middle of the room, and to the left under her hand was a page of paper, too bloodied to be readable. He saw in her right hand the small knife she had taken from the mess hall. Lifting her left arm, he finally noticed the source of blood -- her wrist was slit.
"She wasn't killed... she took her own life rather than be killed."
"That's right, she beat me to it."
"Wha--?!" Ryan only had a moment to recognize his assailant's face before his own was gouged by long, unnatural claws.
"That's one... one kill." And a dark chuckle pierced the hum of the engines running.
* * *
Anthony rushed through the passageways back up to the main deck where the mess hall was; to the best of his knowledge Swift would still be there. With communications down, that was his best bet.
He spun around a corner quickly nearly at the entrance to the ladder that would take him up outside the messhall when he found himself suddenly seeing stars.
He started to try to pull himself off the floor, when he heard chuckling. "Don't bother. You terrans don't stand a chance against us."
"N... no..."
"Yes."
Anthony Bryan died instantly, his neck split in two.
* * *
It was minutes later when Swift overheard the news from crewmen looking for him; Anthony had been found. He emerged from his hiding place when nobody was nearby and made his way straight to the scene. It was a gruesome sight.
"There you are!" He looked up to see Diana walking toward him, winded. "Nancy and I heard about it while we were in hydroponics. She's probably still looking for you."
Swift didn't mention that this was the conversation he'd overheard. "It's pretty nasty. And it confirms our worst fears. I'll get the body to stasis."
"It gets worse..." It was Matthew who spoke, accompanied by Kevak. "While we were looking for you down here, we found two more bodies."
* * *
"Suicide," Swift concluded. "Ryan was killed by a wolfani, but Raydawn... she took her own life. No wolfani would bother with such tactics."
"But why would she kill herself?!" Lando demanded.
Swift shook his head. The suicide note had been unrecoverable. "I don't know. Maybe from fear. Either way she's done us no favours." The crew, most of them now gathered around the scene, mumbled its agreement. "Get Ryan to stasis. But the moral code forbids taking the choice of death from someone. Hers is permanent. I'll take care of it."
There were a couple gasps in the crowd, but they all knew the code. A person who committed suicide had a right to their death. She would not be revived, even if they made it home.
"Now, does anyone have any inkling who did this?"
* * *
Ryan and Anthony were killed by wolves; both were crewmen. Raydawn was modkilled; she was the microbiologist.
Since it's kinda a douchy thing to get a vital role like that and vanish, and a bit unfair to the terrans, I'm making the arbitrary decision that I can reassign the role, at random, to someone whose current role is an ordinary crew member. That player has been sent a message -- if you don't have any new PMs from me, your role remains the same. I won't go so far as to allow a replacement investigate for the past night however.
It is now the second day. Please vote who to lynch.

^Even if that would be kina of funny I'd rather not do that because it would get half the players killed (even if that gets a werewolf killed I'm not sure that would be a good idea) =] Meh, it's hard D= ... The only thing I can think could be a clue is the fact that both Diana and Nancy were in the same place but went on different paths to look for Swift by themselves. It can be because that way one of them would be able to find him in less time, but considering the danger of a wolfani attack this is also sort of a careless (and suspicious) decision to make.
For these reasons I vote for Diana (and it would also be part of the 0,1,0,1 pattern xD) [0] Kevak [1] Ricky [0] cooltiger413 [1] Matthew [0] Alex (formerly TorterraOats) [0] Insane_Zang [0] Lyserg Zeroz [1] Diana [0] NormanTheOne [0] Benyamin [0] Nancy R. [0] UnfairBear [0] Picnic [0] Norwegian [0] landostarchase
But I will retract my vote if the 0,1,0,1 pattern thing actually works.

The fact that all of you are voting for Diana would be suspicious, if her actions themselves weren't suspicious. Walking alone when the werewolves are loose isn't really smart, unless you are one. I'll keep my vote for the moment though. I'll think this through a little bit more, because I don't want to kill someone just because I am too sleepy to think properly.

" A few others, such as Zang, had left without a weapon, suggesting they could find something better down in engineering, where they were needed anyway." ""That's one... one kill." And a dark chuckle pierced the hum of the engines running." coincidence?

I didn't use that as my defense, because all of you know that if you kill me, you'll do a grand mistake. And I didn't think of that version. I'll still keep my vote and look for the Zang version now.

y am i allwaise killed first? Please no dead posting in the game thread this game. It'll make sense later why. You are welcome to discuss the game with other dead players though. That does remind me I need to make the Skype room. Anthony, if you want into Heaven Chat for this game, please PM me your Skype acct. Ryan, I have yours already and have started Heaven Chat via an offline message to you (let me know if it didn't work, Skype is iffy for me sometimes).
