If the M21 team survive this I swear Lucricia will have some words to say to Maurice.
Oh dear. I'll be looking forward to it.
Man Maurice and I would have a talkings if I were on ship by the time he gets back...
Just be glad I wasn't there
Same here. And hey, haven't we scheduled "the talk" already for the next time we meet each other?
Alas, the point is moot because no one ICly knows that "Maurice unleashed the thing". I'd even say "sadly" because I'd like roleplaying that realisation for him. However, the only way we know he "did" something - really, the only thing he did was "look", and then a very special roll of fate's die followed - because of GM's fiat in telling us.
As much as I generally dislike people saying "No, you can't do that, you don't have IC knowledge!" (oh those killjoys!), I must jump the wagon here. The only (best) IC information is: Maurice suddenly got possessed by something, and then all hell broke loose, which is known by him and by Ulrich (and their videofeeds, by the way). You could go for "I don't know what happened, but it must have been your fault!", but it doesn't quite have the punch of the strictly OOC knowledge it really "was" his fault (mine? oh well). You could also go for "You started all this, if it weren't for this stupid mission of yours, this all wouldn't have happened..!" which is actually reasonable, but is quite weak from rational standpoint - what else was there to do? Not to go on a mission? On any mission even, because no one knows when dash-nine will strike next? etc.
All in all, as much as I'd like this, not one person can truly admonish Maurice for what has been done - including himself.
(Okay, maybe the Doctor can. He has supernatural knowledge bordering on GM's direct feed. Remember, we've always been told that Steve's knowledge and Piecewise's knowledge are different... but this has never been said for the Doctor! But that's a whole different story...)And finally... ))
...all of this wouldn't have happened if that idiot hasn't interfered!! I would have ascended and kept the god-being in check!!!(( Yeah, something like that. He also has to blame someone for this event.
(RIP Morul. You paid a hefty price for ARM to maybe keep its second most important scientist. Maurice hasn't understood this yet, but he probably will in the coming months. And then he will mourn, and thank Morul for his sacrifice. ...Probably.)
