LOL, well, I'm not exactly sure what you mean? What's my girl done now? Unless you mean Kjaerstad's now gonna be even less of a fan? I do feel sorry for Delaney, though.
Very interesting (and rather swift) repercussions re: the Transporter Room Incident. The way things were heading, I was kinda expecting a bit of a Caine Mutiny Court Martial deal, or some kind of legal interplay. (I love those TNG legal episodes--Measure of a Man and The Drumhead, for example. Oh and there was the one where Riker was framed for murdering that old scientist during a beam-out.)
Fingers crossed that there'll be some commendations in store as well as reprimands. Rangin certainly deserves one for bringing Palver down single-handedly.
Except for this (in game time) morning, Kylah seems to have a knack for unintentionally making things worse.
^ Oh! Well, there's still plenty of time for Kylah to screw up again. At least this time she took others down instead of herself.
Rats, CIAS is on a different timezone, poor guy didn't even have time to post before we were sent into the meeting! :)
As for the references to the weird transporter signatures in Fastolfe's house I mentioned in my post, I didn't have time to re-edit, but the game thread references are in #2812 and #2843.
Kjaerstad dated them from 3 - 6 days prior to the scan (which would've placed the transporter action from two days before the murder to five days before the murder), while Fergie refined it from 2 - 4 days (one day before the murder to four days before the murder). Even the latest possible dating eliminates Hardin as the Stealth Transporter Sneak.
I figured it makes sense to link Lt. Palver too, since we never did find out how those spore effects were lost, and of course he could've changed the lab inventory records easily to indicate that no epinephrine canisters were missing (if that was indeed how it occurred).
Ah Collins, she never could remember Delaney.
Delaney was an NPC. and yes during the mission, so was T'Var, but WES is back now. If What Exit? had decided to come back, Collins would have mentioned him as well.
Wait, so Collins is aware of meta??? And she doesn't consider them real? But she's sleeping with one of them! That's just creepy. :D
I'd argue that T'Var was (no offense to WES) actively detrimental to the investigation, what with her allegedly faking the autopsy albeit through manipulation. (But girl is a Vulcan, she should've been able to prevent that.) And she didn't really do anything else the rest of the time. Whereas Delaney may have screwed up and got Graham/Kylah stunned, he at least broke into Wilson's safe and then helped decrypt the prime piece of evidence linking Hardin to Wilson.
Besides it's clear Collins just hates Delaney. She dissed him twice in the lab station debriefing scenes prior to the murder, asking for everyone's input but leaving both meetings not once but twice before Delaney could speak. Poor guy. No wonder he was so excited to have discovered something important that he hurried to make an impression on Graham. Low self-esteem.
Okay, the truth is out. They were in grade school together and Delaney used to pull Collins' braids all the time. She has hated him ever since. :woowoo: :iiam::kitteh:
:bravo: And Rangin brings the empathy!Quote:

When my mom was in high school, there was a family in the neighborhood named Shakespear. (No e at the end) They named their son William. He was a math and science whiz, but did poorly in English, something his teachers never let him forget.
Grahame will ask Bennet if she likes Shakespear
Sheesh after Kylah falls on her sword Vargas is going to think Graham is covering for anybody and everybody :smack
It would tee up an interesting conversation if Rangin after starts to complain about Graham to Vargas - and Vargas interrupts, saying he's aware of the issue, that Graham is too kind-hearted and nurturing and needs to take a harder line :D
I'd like to wrap up this mission in the next day or two, and then take a week off to recharge and do some work preparing for the next mission. So, last call for postings in the current game thread. Posting here in the setup thread, and Apocrypha, may of course continue. Thanks.
Only thing for me would be Rangin's psychic tests with Dr Villa, if could cover those off before wrap-up, as in whether anything is found or not.
Actually, that could make for a good opening scene in the new episodeQuote:

If you're going to start the next mission later that afternoon in game time, I'll Rangin where he is: In xenobiology, happily reading trade magazines with a coffee. :coffee:
I'm fine where Kylah is too, for now, unless something crops up elsewhere involving the various hanging threads (Ferguson's publically accusing her of being a predator, the Fastolfe affair gossip, and whatever-the-heck rumors and allegations hinted at by Walcott) that are presumably going to raise their ugly heads at some point. But I'd imagine those would wait for the next mission since they're bound to cause major headaches.
Oh and as far as her AMR goes, Kylah would've already included summaries of everything that went into the investigation files, including briefs of her interviews w/all the various suspects/guests and any evidence she found during searches and so on.
Only things not included would've been the personal stuff and the altercations with Graham about her supposedly inappropriate behavior w/male suspects and that one time he got grabby/violent when they were alone together, which btw is a thread that general_urko and I totally forgot about that we oughtta revisit.
So, no additions/supplementals necessary.
likewise, Collins is at the Security station on the Bridge
Sorry, traveling, Graham's happy to just report for duty, which I'll post.

OK, thanks, everyone. That concludes Mission #3.
In previous missions, there were five non-player characters named after characters from Heinlein's (Mission #1) and Lovecraft's (Mission #2) writings. Who caught the namedrops this time? A hundred quatloos to whoever can name all five, and what writer's work they were drawn from.
We'll take at least a week off before Mission #4 begins, but postings here and in Apocrypha are, as always, welcomed.
I'm guessing off the top the writer is Asimov, if only because you used Calvin.
I wonder who the other four are?
Yes, it was Asimov, and Calvin is one. Very good.
Thanks everyone for a very enjoyable and provocative mission that was full of surprises. What a great cast of characters with real personalities and lives of their own.
And of course thanks EH.
Yup, Thanks for running this EH and its finally...finally come to an end :D
And thanks to everyone playing as well, most enjoyable.
Hmm, a set of five eh? I going to guess all the new intake were Asimov names so that would be: Hardin, Palver, Fastolfe, Ebling and Calvin.
Close on any of them?
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Fastolfe - The Robots of Dawn
Calvin - I, Robot and several short stories
Hardin - Foundation
Ebling - Foundation and Empire
Palver - Second Foundation
Well done, CIAS!
3-D printers are essentially replicators (although with a dependence on right stock of raw materials) - 2nd story here.
Very cool - thanks, general!
Given that Easter is approaching this weekend, were you going to start the next mission after it?
May as well wait. Easter and Passover are concurrent this year.
Hmm. Yes, we could do that, if people prefer.
Well I'm ready to start whenever, I was just curious if everyone was available given the holiday.
I am always available. and I am not in the least bit observant. Please start the next chapter whenever you wish, EH.
