Hey EH are you hinting that you want us all to gather for breakfast by using Delaney as your vicar, so to speak, and also by having the guest refuse to talk to Kylah?
Anyone else get that feeling or is it just me? :)

No, EH says, however, upon those who decline to go to breakfast, rocks fall... :eek:Quote:

No rocks, though.
True, but a bit of initiative wouldn't go amiss. :DQuote:

Hmm. I'd say the fact that NPC Mrs. Webb is so freakin' intractable at the same time that NPC Delaney is whining about breakfast (maybe he's just upset that Fastolfe is a suspect)... well, that to me indicates we're supposed to go no further until we meet up as a group. What sayeth thou, fellow crewmates?
P.S. anyrose, did Collins steal some of your painkillers? Is that why she's actually giving Kylah a (mental) compliment?! Seriously, welcome back!
It does look that way, doesn't it. It just needs someone, preferably a ranking officer, to make it happen properly *cough*Delaney*cough*
and did he really just whine to Graham and Rangin about being hungry...
Maybe his sudden food fixation is a sign of belated Sakathian Zombie Disease. Was he ever bitten?
Hey what time is it right now, gamewise? We found out about the murder at a little after 4AM, right? It's gotta be at least 5 or maybe near 6 by now, right? Then again time tends to go more slowly than I always think it will, so maybe it's only a half-hour later.
It's 5:20 ish from #1545.
Of course, the problem for Graham and Rangin is that Delaney is the ranking officer present.
Also can you imagine the reaction from the ladies in the group, if the men all go off for breakfast while they are still working. It won't be pretty.
Not pretty, but it would be very amusing. :)
I wouldn't mind breakfast. Poor Kylah hasn't eaten except a calamari ring since yesterday lunch. Considering the stress she's been under and the lack of sleep, I don't know how she's even upright.
Forgot to add, thanks for the time check, CIAS. I swear I didn't see that line there when I read that post! I'm going senile.
and finally Delaney gets the hint. :)
Guess Kylah's gotta wait for Collins to get to the staff lounge first. So... hurry up, Collins! :)
EH, was that last note about the spa/resort aimed at me? I've been assuming WR&R consists of (ignoring the old buildings) the main building complex including the lounge, the restaurants/nightclub, the stores, then the lobby at the center, then the spa area with the pool and so on. The guest suites, I figured, are a taller building connected to the main complex by some nice walkway, and then finally there are the guest cottages off to the opposite side from the lounge area (as referenced when Kylah was walking outside). Do I have the setup roughly correct?
Here, I whipped up a mockup of the layout as I saw it. Is this roughly right? (Click for full-size view in glorious TechniColor! Note that house #5, going clockwise from the bottom left, is Fastolfe's blue house. :))

Am I a nut for actually needing the map to help me visualize this? And am I an even bigger nut for making the map?
Wait, don't answer the last two questions.
I had roughly the same idea about the resort as well, with the spa only being a part of it.
As for the image, nicely done. I thought you were just looking for extra XP in making it though :p
Thank you! Making the smellovision tricorder must've won me enough XP to tide me over for a while! :)
(I actually got pretty lucky in finding a resort map that looked almost exactly right for WR&R; just had to move a few buildings around, relabel the components and create the cottages, which came from a different image.)
choie, that's wonderful! I love it! But you forgot one of the cottages is yellow. ;)
At first glance at the small image I thought you had built it out of Legos... In which case IMO I think you would win both the irrevocable and unchallengeable title of Ultimate Alpha Geek, but also, too, "nut"Quote:

That's an awesome graphic! Thanks. The guest houses and their park directly abut the rest of the resort, though, and the pool is not indoors, just roofed.
I do believe there is a word missing in that last sentence, in between "wouldn't" and "to".Quote:

Anyway I hope T'Var remembers to share her knowledge of Hsu looking at Halsey when asked about any arguments with Wilson. How frustrating to know this fact while our characters must be ignorant of it!Spoiler (mouseover to read):
Hmm, if that's true it's odd that Kylah didn't notice it; she could certainly tell that Palver was off the spores.
Whoops - yes indeed, he wouldn't *hesitate* to help himself...Quote:

That's a good question. Are we in sync with T'Var, timewise? How long does an autopsy take in the future?Quote:

She's still doing the autopsy at this point. It would take at least an hour or so to be thorough.
That shouldn't matter. In all the Crime Dramas, the cop figure always walks in on the ME in the middle of an autopsy and requests an update. :p
I wonder what Dr T'Var's answer machine message would be :D
:dubious: I thought we weren't allowed to cop out like that.Quote:

And actually that last bit--about everyone knowing what everyone else knows--isn't true. As I mentioned above, T'Var knows that Hsu looked warily at Halsey when the question was asked about anyone having disagreements with Wilson. Since I don't know if WES reads this forum, can you give her a nudge on that -- although that information will have to wait until she's out of Halsey's hearing range, of course.
As for T'Var's answering message? I'm guessing it's just a long sigh. She sighs a lot! :)
Graham is glad he didn't sit next to Collins as rocks fall on her. :DQuote:

I also just noticed a slight oddity/omission, which may be purposeful:
Kylah just remarked on this in the game thread, but: what about the bruise we saw on Wilson's right wrist?Quote:
Originally posted by Elendil's Heir
By the way it'd be amusingly awkward if Graham were to mention that they knew the surveillance system was working earlier that evening. Would love to see Rangin's reaction on that! :devil:
You don't need me to repeat what Delaney said; he's an NPC anyway.
My bad about the wrist bruise. I'll fix it.
I was hoping for that recap I'd asked about a few days ago. ;)Quote:

I think we've already done that one somewhere, ah yes, #1251 for Graham and #1254 for RanginQuote:

Great guess. I had that in mind weeks ago, truly.Quote:

Ah, thank you. I thought she was still getting coffee. Fixed!
Man, I know Collins is called "sir" sometimes, but "gentleman"? That's harsh.Quote:
What can we do for you, gentlemen?" Hsu asks.
It's professionally generic by then. Just ask Mr. Saavik.
Oh great. So in this fantabulous future of equality, everything defaults to male? Nice one, Roddenberry.
which explains why she chose the Security career path.Quote:

Three, did anyone else enter that room in the time before Mr Wilson, say the preceding three or four hours."
Sorry to triple post, but the coffee thing is hilarious. I can just imagine this conversation with the security folks where suddenly Collins blurts out "COFFEE!"
Oh, Rangin, please pass along this tidbit to Kylah. She needs something to cheer her up.
DON'T YOU DARE!!!!
oh, okay. go ahead.
Heh. Well, she can blame it on the pregnancy; some women do have trouble concentrating what with the hormones and all. I forget, how pregnant is she, anyway? Like a month or so? Time is hard to track.
I'm thinking somewhere between 3 to 5 weeks, given how long in game time she's known Cooper. EH, is that right?
Oh my gosh, it's possibly only three weeks? Dang! Can we soap-opera-retcon this to imply more time has passed between missions? You know, like Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome where a kid is 6 one day and 17 the next? :D Nothing that drastic obviously, but I'd like to think that Kylah's been on board at least a month, rather than... what, 10 days?
I don't remember the circumstances under which Jeremi and Cooper met/hooked up. Was it after the 1st mission but before the 2nd started (during that fake test mission, maybe)? How did you guys get together?
