Well here is Kert Johnson's who life that station.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It started as me just upgrading peoples ID's for them, Mostly other heads as the Captain didn't want anyone else to have a useless job. I would go out some times with Azrayel and talk about whats going on. We then parted ways and started well, sexting kinda. Then we started walking around the station more together. Later she had the idea to take down the Captain and I was in on it for the long haul.

I then started wielding my flamethrow I had more and more around the captain to make him think I wasn't going to shot it at him when I did, Which never happened. Someone then broke into the captains room and he started going crazy and and and Azrayel try to make him think that the CE was the one to do even though I truly don't know who it was or cared who it was. We then had a nice long meeting of where almost everyone got blamed for something it seemed, I don't know I then I was ignoring everything the captain said. After the meeting I then set off to find someone who could get my implate, that I soon found out I don't have, out

I was then rounding around asking everyone I could if they were a Rev Leader. Sadly none. It then came to my head by a little bird to go to medbay and talk to the guy who tried to get my none having implant out. We all, as and the guy, Azrayel, and I, ran for the bar and waited. I as told of an idea by Azrayel to take out the Singularity and I though that would be a swell Idea so I did do it. but while waiting for it to grow I was attacked but he ran off and later got killed. After the Singularity got out I ran off and found Azrayel dead so I cloned her and I jumped in a Cyro Cell because I was near death. After I got out I saw the captain fighting a slime that was behind some glass, I didn't think it was fair so I opened the door and watch the captain die. I then got hit by the slime and went braindead.

May as well post my side of the story, I was Captain Oswald Black if no one noticed yet.

Spoiler: Oswald Black: Professional Asshole (click to show/hide)

Okay, so I started out as a captain for the first time in a rev round I set up. Although most of the time, I was completely clueless as to what was going on. At the beginning of the round, I got the Staff Heads together and told them how Centcomm wanted me to implement new laws to improve work productivity. I told them all to be ready when I started announcing these laws, and told the HoS to prepare his men. Before I could do anything though, there was a virus outbreak on the station. The one where nearby metal objects are attracted to your body. Most of security became infected, including myself too. So I spend a good twenty minutes yelling at the virologist to cure us, and he eventually starts making iron pills once he finds out what the disease was. This took a good thirty minutes before we managed to get everyone cured.

After that, I figured I'd implement a new law. I knew that Lola was the rev-head, so I figured I'd do what I could right away to make her start converting people to the cause. I declared that all alcohol was banned, and had the Chief Engineer tamper with the vending machine so it'd shock anyone who tried to use it. I threatened the bartender a few times, then left.

A few minutes later, the HoS said that someone wrote in the bar "Fuk da po." and he thought it was the botanist. He immediately jailed him, and I went to the brig to interrogate him. Officer Steele dragged him into the interrogation room once we got there, and I went in with him. I wasn't really sure if he did it or not, but I figured I'd force him to confess anyways. After he denied that he did it twice, I started punching him in the face. He still denied it, so I threatened to leave him in the prison for a few days and then I punched him. Needless to say, he confessed and we threw him in the brig for awhile. I also demoted his ID to "Toilet Scrubber" and sent him off.

After this I went to go talk to the QM, threatened him a few times and made sure he wasn't ordering anything fishy and went off. At this point, the HoS said he needed to talk to me about something. I ran off to the bridge, and he handed me a piece of paper. On it was a conversation the detective had with our former botanist, showing that he willingly gave the detective illegal drugs. I ordered the HoS to find the botanist and bring him to me, I wasn't planning on bringing him to the brig this time.

They found him in medbay, as high as a kite and curling up into a fetal position. I then calmly asked Officer Steele for his stunbaton, and announced over the radio I was going to make an example of him. I proceeded to savagely beat the botanist with the stun rod multiple times in the chest, until it was coated in blood. After that, I told security to bring him to the brig and lock him up for awhile. Pretty much everyone saw me beat him up, and I proclaimed that was what would happen to anyone who caused any further problems.

I headed back to the brig eventually, after a few random gravity events. Turns out that the botanist was close to dying, and I MAY have beat him just a little bit too much. I ordered the CMO to get his ass over here, and he treated him and said that the drugs must of done a lot of toxic damage. I told him to drag him off, and he quickly went critical. Officer Steele immediately grabbed him, and rushed him over to cryo.

I fucked around a bit more after this, but eventually telecommunications went done. For a really long time. The other admin Android said he was going to help the rev's along, and give them an edge, so I figured this was his doing. Que no one talking over the radio for about fifteen minutes, and eventually our awesome Chief Engineer Whitaker got it back online. I immediately called all Heads to the conference room to talk to them. I told them that there was something going on in the station, and subversive elements were in effect. The CMO suggested that I release the singularity, so Centcomm wouldn't fire us when they realized we did a shitty job of running the station. The HoP instantly agreed with them. I told them to shut the fuck up, and the HoS suggested loyalty implants. I approved of this idea, and told him to get them.

As him and all the other heads ran off somewhere, I ordered all of the crew to go to the bar. I had to yell this multiple times, and eventually I got everyone together. I said there was someone messing with the station, and to ensure the loyalty of the entire crew Centcomm ordered me to install loyalty implants on them. Everyone protested, and I threatened them by shooting my laser pistol a few times. That shut them up and made them comply, so I sent them to the medbay. The CMO said he was going to start giving people the implants, but disappeared once the quartermaster tried to escape multiple times, despite being stunned and told he was going to be killed. I was going to shoot him, but the chef suddenly tried stabbing me in the chest with his kitchen knife. I freaked out, and started shooting him until he fell down. Angry as fuck, I yelled out that he would be another example to someone who didn't listen to what I said. I walked over to him, pointed my pistol at his head, and pulled the trigger a few times killing him.

During the fight Lola tried to shoot me, but the beanbag shells she had did shit against my armor. Then she ran off. I was pissed even more at this point, and started threatening her over the radio. That was until a guy ran into the medbay, with a slime on him and released it to torment us. I tried shooting it a few times, but THAT didn't work. I eventually had it jump on me, and bring me to critical health. There ensued about ten minutes of Officer Steele giving me CPR to no avail, and sticking me full of drugs. Eventually he threw me in Cryo, and I waited there for awhile and saw him run off. I managed to get back to full health after awhile, but there were at least three slimes outside of cryo. I decided "Fuck it" and ejected myself from the pod (Which you can apparently do.), I fell on the floor unable to move and the slimes ALMOST jumped on me a few times. Once I got up, I ran off into maintenance and got the fuck outta dodge and headed to the armory.

Once I got decked out in riot armor, along with a circular saw I found in the medbay, I started threatening everyone over the radio. I went into a speech about how they forced my hand in this matter, and I was just trying to protect them from themselves. I also stated that I would assume anyone I met was a traitor at this point. The CMO was trying to trick me into thinking he was friendly, but I didn't respond to him. I looked at the security camera, and saw him waiting near the arrival wing. I jumped into maintenance, and headed there. Once I arrived in the escape wing, I realized he wasn't there. So I doubled back and went through the bar into the main hallway. There I saw the CMO, Lola, and the QM. I quickly pulled out my taser, and shot all three of them before they could do anything. I laughed madly, and pulled out my circular saw and began sawing the QM a few times, before I moved onto Lola. Unfortunately, the Detective came out of nowhere after Lola called for him and shot me until I passed out. The rest of them managed to finish the job and force me into critical condition.

The detective tried reviving me for a few minutes, but realized it wouldn't work and left me to die. At the point I made a few announcements pretending to be a Centcomm official confused as to why the life signatures of the crew were reduced from twenty to four in a few hours. They said the captain went crazy, called the shuttle, and escaped. Turns out the detective had a case full of evidence against me, and planned on providing it to Centcomm. They managed to escape, and the revolutionaries own the day.

I have to give some credit to the detective, you were great. I was honestly impressed that you gathered up all of that evidence, I really hoped you'd be able to revive me so we could have a trial. Awesome round all-around guys, great to see it worked out.

[Yoink]

I guess I should post Lola's/my side of the story. It's kinda hard to remember everything clearly amidst the chaos, but I tried. I didn't exactly proof-read it either, so I hope it makes sense!

Spoiler: Lola Black (click to show/hide)

So the round started off, Lola just served a few drinks and casually flirted with customers.
Didn't have any glasses though, so mixed drinks had to wait- everyone had to just drink from the bottles.
By the time I got some damn glasses there was some sort of virus emergency, everyone ran off to deal with that and then we were told to remain in our workstations.
Around this time I had to go AFK, so Lola fearfully hid in the bar storage closet as whatever virus outbreak was contained. By the time I got back, the alchohol ban had just been announced.
Lola walked out and demanded an explantation just as the Captain marched in, and thus followed a nasty argument as Sec confiscated the booze from the tables and, apparently, electrified the booze-o-mat. (Lola didn't feel like testing it to find out.) This was the point where my little 'revolution' started to gain steam, I chatted with Astrid in the kitchen next to me, exchanged messages with the warden, (poor guy) and got friendly with Trevor the detective.

After that, having nothing to do at the bar, I wandered over to see Damian in cargo- I had already responded to a message he'd sent me asking what to do with the party crates he'd ordered now that booze was banned, and Lola saucily suggested they 'dispose of it ourselves'.
This was made easier and less suspicious by the fact that someone suggested I go help out at cargo now that I had no bar to tend.
So Damian and Lola get drunk in the Quartermaster office, with her chatting him up slowly, paving the way to recruit him as a rev. After a while he had to get back to work, the Captain demanded his order records, and Lola slunk off back to the restaurant area.

Can't remember exactly what happened, here. I know Astrid spoke to me and Axl at one point about making moonshine, I considered them both potential recruits. Then Danielle went crazy in the Medbay, the Captain marched in and started shouting/growling about 'making an example'- Lola did not like that idea one bit, confronting the Captain on it.
Trevor dragged her away before she could make too much of a scene, and Danielle was brutally beaten with stun rods, much to Lola's (obvious) horror.
Trevor comforted her, and then after a while she wandered back over to Cargo, trembling with shock and asking Damian to let her in. He did, and then she whispered to him about what had just happened- telling him how the captain was going crazy and out of control, and then asked him to lathe her a circular saw so she could saw off her shotgun.

He did so, (I can't remember if I recruited him at this point or a bit later) and thus Lola pecked him on the cheek, skipped out back to the bar and sawed off the shotgun. Sadly it was still only loaded with beanbag rounds, I couldn't quite think how she'd convince Damian to put himself at risk to get me lethal ones.

At some point Axl was thrown into brig, as was Damian, and I recruited Astrid after another whispered conversation in the pantry. A whole lot of stuff was going on at this point, hard to remember it all.
Also, Trevor came up to Lola and got her to follow him up near the escape shuttle dock, and gave her the code to his safe should anything happen to him.
Lola fearfully told him to be careful, he smiled, and then headed off.

The next major event, and the turning point where cards were really down on the table, came when the Captain ordered everyone to the Maltese Falcon. This was a bother, as I was already there and I had Damian off making lethal shotgun rounds on the lathe- obviously I'd recruited him by this point.

I thought Lola was done for as it became clear what the Captain planned, and naturally she objected bitterly. Damian turned up, then fled. I messaged him telling him to 'fucking run', but shortly later after the captain speechifying for a bit and firing a laser he was dragged back in, looking quite injured.
The Captain ordered everyone into Medbay. Lola demanded to know what he'd done to poor Damian. He started firing more warning shots, and she hastened to the medbay, where Damian was being cuffed, buckled to a chair and beaten.

The Captain entered and threatened to execute him, Lola confronted him and told him not to dare, and then everything got crazy as Astrid attacked the captain with a knife. I grabbed out my sawnoff and rushed the captain, but I was too late to do anything for poor Astrid- and I was standing too close to the captain in a derp moment and ended up just whacking him a couple of times. I then stepped back and tried to fire at him, but the gun just clicked for some reason... No real matter, as the beanbag rounds wouldn't have done much anyway.

The captain shot me, thankfully it hit my armour, and I/Lola ran off to Primary Storage, grabbed a toolbox and broke into Cargo. (This seems to happen whenever I play bartender.) I lathed up a bunch of lethal shells, loaded the shotgun and then Sean showed up.
I told him to keep back, seeing as he was one of the captain's minions, but eventually he convinced me I could trust him (partly by handing over the box of implants as a sign of good faith, claiming he never intended to use them). At this time Damian showed up, covered in blood in a hardsuit. I'm still not sure exactly how he escaped, but whatever, Lola was suitably happy to see him.

At that point various plans of liberation were tossed about, I received a message from the Warden, asking me if I was okay and such. I answered him rather rudely, and apparently upset by that he offered to leave a laser pistol on the arrivals shuttle for me. I didn't really trust him, assuming it was a trap, so I sent Sean up to check. It wasn't there. A moment later I got another text from the warden, saying he'd needed it to deal with something. At that moment Lola wrote him off and decided he was definitely an enemy.

Then Trevor showed up as well, making us a group of four. Lola was a tad bit uncertain whose side he was on, but still decided to trust him. There was an argument over just what to do about the captain- Sean and Damian were definitely for killing him, Trevor, being the law dude, was ardently against it.
Lola gently tried to convince the detective that we had no choice, and eventually we settled on sparing the captain if it was at all possible(not that that seemed overly likely. Lola had no intention of ever letting the captain live).

Just as we were all heading off, to Medbay where the captain was apparently incapacitated somehow, we were confronted by Ed/Eduardo/whatever the hell his name was, the Warden. He said he'd been looking all over for Lola, and then asked what Trevor was doing with us. Trev raised his hands, I quickly caught on and Lola shouted something like, "A hostage! Now get back or I'll blow his head off!"
I looked down to quickly type and emote, jabbing the shotgun in Trevor's direction, and looked up to see Ed charge foward heroically, tasing both me, Sean and Damian in a mad flurry of shooting.
We're all lying on the ground, cursing, and Lola growls at Trev to shoot him- which he promptly does, despite his lawfulness.

Seriously. That was one of the most amazing parts of the round.

Then poor Ed is brutally beaten to death by Damo and Sean, as the detective looks on in horror and tries to save him with CPR. OOCly I was all like 'CRUSH KILL DESTROY' as well, but that didn't seem like Lola's style, so she just grabbed his energy gun, kicked him once or twice, called him an asshole and then told Damian to stop.
I feel kinda sorry for Ed, or Danielle or whoever it was, since apparently they WERE actually against the captain... But y'know, such is life.

After that, the shuttle was called and then recalled, and we went looking for the captain around the shuttle dock. I shot a slime that was in the hallway, and I think that was pretty much the only time I fired a weapon- apart from when I shot myself in the face with beanbag rounds whilst sawing off my shotgun. -_-
Lola took a moment to grab a sunflower from botany and stick it in a pocket, adn then we started moving back up through the halls, I guess we were looking for the captain.

Trevor had gone ahead a bit, when suddenly the captain (Who had been raving madly over the comms about killing us all) bursts out behind us, shoots me and Damian (and possibly Sean, unless he was off somewhere in a mech by this point) down before we can react. Lola starts screaming for Trevor as the captain begins viciously hitting Damo in the head with a circular saw, he's just moved on to Lola when Trevor comes back around the corner and opens fire... I don't really remember what happened after that, but Lola managed to stand and then hauled ass around the corner.

She'd just started to creep back, grabbing up the energy gun, asking for the others over comms and looking cautiously around(obviously very traumatised at the fate of her friends, you see) when there was a massive gravity spike. Oh man that was annoying. I was stranded out in the middle of the hall for quite a while until it finally stopped.

Then I headed back down the hall and found the Quartermaster and Detective both alive, Trevor trying desperately to revive the dying captain lying in the middle of the hall. Lola dropped her gun, embraced them both and had a bit of a nervous breakdown, and then it was back to business.

After that it was pretty much a matter of grabbing the captain's ID, heading with Trevor to the bridge and giving a heartfelt apology about not being able to take the captain alive, and then calling the shuttle and getting the hell out of dodge.

As we were waiting on the shuttle in the Evac hallway, Sean (the only one of the three Lola hadn't flirted with) asks her out to dinner once they got back to Centcomm.
There was pretty much a major awkward moment, with Lola smiling and saying something about having to wait til after their debriefing... And then THANK GOD the shuttle arrived.
Lola dragged poor Astrid onboard, and I think someone grabbed the captain.
Then Lola exhaled with relief, put the gun away, calmed herself down and went into awkwardness damage control, trying to disarm the whole 'flirting with each of them and using them in her plans' issue.

I had a great line about "You guys are like brothers to me" ready to go when the game ended. Aww.

I honestly did not expect Lola to succeed. I mean, it seemed like a long shot right off the bat, converting the Quartermaster and Chef gave me a little hope, but when the Captain marched in and demanded it was implant time... I thought I was sunk.
Things got pretty damn crazy after that.
Also I failed miserably just about any time shooting started- I'd usually be glancing at my keyboard, or standing too close to shoot, or simply not react fast enough. I think my ass got saved by the detective twice.

[miauw62]

Why am I always asleep whenever there's an awesome round.  :c

[Itnetlolor]

Wow. I wasn't aware how much of a derail my slime-covered panic has done. Too bad I missed most of the dialog in my dying moments. But now, reading everyone's perspective on that moment made it pretty darn funny and out of the blue. Add to it, my guy was also wearing a pumpkin head (with a corncob pipe in the mouth) and a bright colored jumpsuit while covered in the slime.

No wonder it caught everyone (dead and alive) off-guard. I was also screaming "HELP!!!" along the way, finding the nearest person that could remove the slime off of me. Now picture that: During an intense scene like you'd see in a action/sci-fi, between hero and villain, a random guy in a bright green and blue outfit while wearing a jack-o-lantern on his head covered in an orange slime is screaming bloody murder as they charge their way head-on into a standoff in a hysterical panic, incapacitating the greater threat in a secure room (during the brief moment the doors were still open), no less. All because they wanted to survive.

Furthermore, I actually wasn't aiming for the Captain; it just happened. I reacted just as any other person probably would in such a panic; go to the nearest person that can help.

[Leonon]

Apparently I saw more of everything as CE than I thought I did.

Spoiler: Whitaker Polson, CE (click to show/hide)

Started the engines, because it's what I do. I didn't know it then but for the whole round I'd be the only engineer on the station.

Then I derped around for a bit.

Plague broke out and it was pointed out that I had it so I went to medbay. I'd like to point out that I was wearing a gasmask and on internal air supply, if it could be made so that prevents you from getting airborn illnesses it would be nice. After a little bit of waiting I pick up a medscanner and see that what I have just needs some iron to be cured. No CMO and the Virologist who's the only one with chem lab access is taking his sweet time so I get med and chem access and start injecting people and forcing pills down their throats.

After a while the plague dies out and I derp around the station looking for holes to patch. After going around the edge and getting to Cargo I go back to the HoP office to get cargo access so I can check for and fix any leaks in there too.  When the booze ban happened I went to the bar to take care of the machine.

After a bit more wondering around the tunnels I set up a Crew Status computer and a comfy chair in my office, because CE always has either way too much or way too little free time. A little after that there's an arrest and beating over drugs. About that time my headset stops working. We'd been having some issues with the comms going off and on sporadically, so I checked on that and very briefly saw a naked man labeled "unknown" at the computers.

Durring my next round of leak searching I picked up an energy gun from the armory. When I was passing through cargo I found the quartermaster making a knife with the autolathe. I couldn't remember if knives were available on a not-hacked autolaythe so I stun blast him and call security. Since my headset isn't working I start to drag him towards them and a security guy shows up, I assume by coincidence. He tells me that there's an air leak in security and I drag the quartermaster there since it's where I'm going anyway. After I drop him off I try to find the leak for a while using the rather poor directions I was given until the HoS shows up and asks be about the comms issue. I tell her there's a leak issue that takes priority and after a bit more searching finally find the thing in the armory, not next to the detective's office where I was directed.

Then I went to comms and checked the wiring, tested my headset, checked my headset, and checked the computers. If you've never tried figuring out the comms computers, they're a bit annoying if you don't know what you're doing. After a while I found the logs and noticed that there were messages at the end I hadn't gotten. I managed to get into the computer that lets you reprogram how comms works and see that someone's made it so the heads don't get messages. I turn the code off and relay the news that we've been hacked over the command channel. Then I check the logs.

Someone named "Captain" whose job description was "Captain" had made the changes, but the code logs didn't say when. I went through the channel chat logs and see that right after they went down the HoP had sent messages saying "So who wants a new job?""Come on down to my office!""You'll get what ever job you want". I relay this information and keep going through the logs, but there isn't anything else of importance except my being told (and not being about to hear) about the leak in security. While I was going over the logs a security lockdown was in effect and a meeting was happening where I figured they'd be deciding what to do about the HoP. I got there at the tail end of the meeting and very quickly went back to comms to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I'd noticed the HoP was in the meeting and not tied up, but I didn't say anything since I'd already stated the messages earlier.

After some more log checking I went to my office and watched the crew status computer. Pretty much everything I saw I relayed over the command channel. The first thing I saw was the corpse in Virology. This sparked some confusion. I saw that it had died of brute damage but didn't think to say that, assuming at the time it was a particularly brutal disease. The all-crew meeting was called in the bar and when the captain yelled over command channel for us to be there too I asked if I could stay in my office and he didn't say no. At this point I figured I'd be more useful in my office than anywhere else so I sat and watched. I called out a few more people's locations and eventually noticed that the HoP was in engineering.

I go out to see what he's doing and he's inside the accelerator room and has it cranked up to max. I turn it down and he threatened me and turned it back up. I yelled over comms that he was overloading the singularity and if he wasn't stopped it would break containment. I tried shooting him but either my gun was out of ammo from earlier with the quartermaster or the EMPs from the singularity messed it up. I checked my office for a charger and didn't find one so I went out my front door and found the HoS, who said Hello then shot me with the lethal setting on her energy gun. While dieing I was wondering why I was getting hot, but couldn't really do anything since, you know, dieing.

I'd like to point out to whoever was trying to get through the engineering door at the tail end of the round that the drill on the Ripley would have torn through the windows like tissue paper.

[Knight of Fools]

I shot a slime that was in the hallway, and I think that was pretty much the only time I fired a weapon- apart from when I shot myself in the face with beanbag rounds whilst sawing off my shotgun. -_-

I lol'd.


Reading through all this made me think that this was one of the best rounds I've played so far. Another movie worthy round, certainly, and the cast of characters made the game as good as it was. The plotting behind everyone's back, character development (As much as you can get in a game like this), and appropriate climax arcs just made it feel like it was all scripted. Of course, I was in the thick of it most of the time, so I'm a little biased.

It was also the first round where evidence I gathered actually resulted in something, which made me happy. Like, really, really happy. I love playing the detective. Even when it means that people get beat savagely for it.

[miauw62]

Oh, and is it just me, or is the roboticist some sort of zoo-keeper for magical talking animals?
Whenever I'm roboticist there's always a bunch of talking animals at my desk begging for shelter.

[Yoink]

Just read everyone's post, awesome to see all the different sides of the story.
Also I can't believe I didn't notice this before, BD, but our characters both had the same surname. O.o

I had no clue Lola was the Rev Leader, even at the end when we escaped the station together. It's still blowing me away.

Wow, I am quite pleased to discover you didn't know OOCly.
Although I guess with the captain going nuts, disguising revolution as "wanting survival and keeping everything normal" wasn't all that hard... Hehe. Man, that was awesome. I thought the safe you gave me the code for must have contained guns or something, for use when the station went to hell.
Oh well; I'm glad I didn't send someone to break into your office when we were holed up in Cargo before you arrived.

Also the awkwardness on the escape shuttle was freaking hilarious.

[scrdest]

Absolutely off the current rev topic (pity I haven't been there, C2C mod swallowed me whole), a nice tip for Virologists:

Ask/nag/bully the Chemist into giving you a shitload of Synaptizine and Unstable Mutagen/ask/nag/bully the HoP into giving you Chemistry access/steal access/break in/whatever. Either way, GET SYNAPTIZINE AND MUTAGEN.

Then get a bottle of either of the two viruses, put it into the machine and clone the sample in case it's needed.

Then alternate between adding mutagen and Synaptizine and checking the engineered virus until you get Anti-Bodies Metabolism and, optionally, Longevity symptoms along with the low-level symptom of the base virus.

Boom, you have created your very first beneficial virus. It will cure (and create Antibodies for) any other sickness you might have accidentally caused (or by event) and, if you get Longevity, the side-effect will eventually vanish (and the virus will be transmittable VERY quickly).

You could also isolate Anti-Bodies and Longevity in two different viruses and combine them - it will be much faster, but you risk overwriting one of the important symptoms, so mix carefully, and the disease may have two side-effects.

I've never played this but i always thought it interesting to read the stories.
You say that the virus is transmittable, couldn't one make a non-transmittable cureall virus and inject it to keep it for oneself? If that is the case, could you make another virus that kills or whatever you want it to do, get infected and basically become an immune plauge bearer?
On second thoughts. the cureall would probably remove the second one so you would have to infect others with another method.

It was a beautiful round, wasn't it?

Actually, the moment I really got into the RPing was when my poisoning of Danielle with Mindbreaker toxin (twice!) lead to her brutal beating. I was watching that and thinking "Oh my fucking god, what have I done?". All in all, the best round I've ever played.

And just for the hell of it:

Spoiler: Chief Medical Officer - Sean O'Driscoll's Story (click to show/hide)

I got into the round late, sometime after the virus outbreak and sometime during Danielle's first run-in with the law. I headed to the Medbay, where I headed straight into the Chemist's area. I had heard of Mindbreaker earlier and wanted to give it a shot, so I made up a small batch and was ready to take it myself when I realised that I could have mixed it wrong. So I went off to find a test subject.

In the unisex bathrooms I found Danielle, who proved happy to try strange drugs handed to her by a stranger in a public toilet. I injected her with Mindbreaker and dragged her off to a cabin to try and conceal what I had done. Later, she came by the Chemist area, asking what it was I had given her. I told her it was a bad batch and handed her a pill, again of Mindbreaker, which she happily swallowed. That was when Security came in and I lost track of things for a little while. The next thing I remember is being recruited by Kert and Azrayel to try and otherthrow the Captain. At no point during the round was I brainwashed with one of those flash thingies. And from there you all know the rest. Except maybe the bit where I performed a botched appendectomy, a botched eye surgery and both successful plastic and gender reassignment surgery on Danielle, who I passed off as a cloned Eduardo (or Edwardo, whatever) to the Captain. Who believed me.

I've never played this but i always thought it interesting to read the stories.
You say that the virus is transmittable, couldn't one make a non-transmittable cureall virus and inject it to keep it for oneself? If that is the case, could you make another virus that kills or whatever you want it to do, get infected and basically become an immune plauge bearer?
On second thoughts. the cureall would probably remove the second one so you would have to infect others with another method.

Typhoid Mary, eh? I am not sure how transmittable it would be in reality - the cureall gets a debuff to transmission and virulence, but the Longevity gets an immense buff to those. You CAN easily make just cureall virus, that's VERY likely to be non-transmittable, and even then probably just on contact.

Lethal viruses are not that easy to make, the worst kinds require a virus crate, which require either a damn good excuse, or damn good hacking. But it is entirely possible to make at least highly dangerous ones.

Generally, /tg/ virology is very fun system, I was overjoyed to see how it works compared to BS12 system, which I find tedious. With some persuasion, you can make some nice other beneficial viruses, like Toxic Compensation/Toxin Filter, which theoretically can fix ANY damage over time (the former converts all damage to Toxin damage, the latter fixes Toxin damage). Or Self Respiration/Stimulant, which turns you into a action hero for a while.

Then there is Genetics... a teamup of a good Geneticist and a good Virologist on Extended is basically Transhumanist wet dream.

The rev round was an excellent nightmare for the crew, mostly due to Captain Black's outstanding bastardness. 'twas funny seeing the QM and his cargo tech doing some illegal binge drinking in his office. I didn't notice any rev activity though, but that's mostly because I wasn't paying full attention at the moment.


Current round is: Survival horror station 13. Fun times.

Hmm... I don't think there was a cargo tech.
You sure that wasn't the bartender, none other than the beautiful Lola Black?
