About:

New players can join during the game too, not just at the start. And make a new character if they die.

(This is a kind of crossover game, with races and stuff from various sci-fi media, books, movies, ect.)

Rules:
Quote
Talk in character. Active players only.

48 hour time limit(minimum time allotted, you can continue if I haven't locked the thread). You can vote to "wait" if you want to see if anything happens. (skip ahead)

Feel free to PM me actions, or post them in the thread in bold.

Setting:
Quote
There are no major empires or unions in this universe. But civil races tend toward friendly to strangers. Many planets are new colonies, often with many races. There are exceptions, but this sets the general setting.

Most planets do not have a means to communicate instantaneously, infact information courier is a common job.

The habitable zone of known space is close enough, and the tech of travel of such a type, that relativistic effects have no effect on travelers. You wont age slower than people on the worlds, for example.

At this time ships are only externally accurate. Internally they are subject the the rooms available, which may be randomized.

There are no language barriers... Just talk in English. (You can roleplay that you are doing otherwise, but everyone understands)

I will add more details if they come up. _

The Defenseless Dead

Quote from: 7 Ships
#5 Raza Class


The icy air danced across the floor of the stasis chamber. There were six pods, four had a green light above them, two had a flashing blue light that went solid. An armor casing lifted on both...

Quote from: 13 Races
#9 Rastipede
#9 Rastipede

The dead awoke. For unknown time that is what they would have seemed to any observer or instrument. They would find the 4 other pods and a single door. And of course, each other.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Ongoing Mission |The Defenseless Dead (1)

The cool floor whispered in the eerie silence of the chamber of death. The first two cryo pods lay open, with two Rastipedes emerged and with new life. The third pod began to flash intermittently blue, then suddenly solid red.

Quote from: 13 Races
#8 Dracon

A Dracon, a dragon-centaur fell from the pod... it looked severely mutilated. Body parts had been surgically removed. Eyes, a left forearm, a right hind leg, and stitches on the belly implied more within the carcass. It appeared to have no pulse(and probably nothing left to make one).

The remaining three unopened pods held their green light.

"...er."
Investigate the body. Is there anything to indicate why, how, or when this happened? Any identification?
