The decision is made in seconds - everyone is already convinced they know. Org, his face dark with apprehension and rage, draws his sidearm. Errol, growling, backs up. "You don't want to try that," he informs Org. "Things will go poorly if you try that."
Org snarls in return. "What're you gonna do, huh?" Errol grins.
"I hoped you'd ask," he replies, reaching into his coat and producing a hand grenade. He pulls the pin. "This one's got a three second fuse. Not long enough to run away. Its blast is powerful enough to tear a hole in the ship. You'll all be killed. So how about you willingly get into the airlock and leave the ship to its rightful owners?"
Then Rolan jumps him from behind.
Things go wild for a long moment. Rolan slams a hand on the grenade's spoon, so when Errol tries to let it go, it does nothing but leave the grenade less securely in his grip. Leafsnail joins the brawl, trying to punch Errol into submission, but Errol is just too tough - damn, those are some stiff abs - Org stands on the sidelines, handgun shaking, trying to get a clean shot that he knows he'll never get.
And then something definitively exciting happens. Leafsnail pulls away, turning to the airlock. "PAN-D4R! Open the airlock!" he roars, grabbing onto a conveniently placed handle - probably specifically for this sort of thing. Errol and Rolan react differently; Errol releases the grenade and slips under Rolan, while Rolan releases the grenade and jumps for the handle against the wall. This leaves the grenade very, very live and very deadly.
Then the airlock opens. Errol reaches out, hoping to grab something, but his hands fail to find anything worth holding. He gives one last cry as the passing air drags him into the vacuum.
Then the room seals again and repressurizes. Nobody can hear anything; their ears have popped and all there is is static. Org's message is clear, though: "Good work. Let's go home."Errol, Godfather, has been ridiculously-quickhammerlynched. Seriously, if I knew you people were on I would not have enabled hammers.Mafia Godfather (Second Mate)
You’re the Second Mate aboard the UNMS Eclipse - but you’re not a citizen of the United Native.
No, you’re a Native Liberation Army spy.
The other spy is Akigagak, and the channel for your communicator is here:
http://www.quicktopic.com/43/H/5T6ZnUL8m39i7Captain Webadict dumped all the weapons, but you know how to make unconventional kills, and now that they know you’re here, you’ll just have to clean them all up as fast as possible. And conveniently for you, everyone here trusts you enough to back up your claims, almost like you’re a Godfather to the rest of the crew. You win when the town can no longer win. You can Mafia-Kill with your Mafia-Buddy. Cops will get a town-result inspecting you.
A quick reminder on the entire setup:

3. Halmie - Cop (Special Service Trooper)
Cop (Special Service Trooper)
You’re a random hauler for the UNMS Eclipse - or at least, that’s what you’d like them to think.
You really belong to the Special Service, and that means that you can once a night safely pull up a file on any of your fellow crew-mates, and determine if they’re acting as they should. The practical upshot of this is that you can determine whether or not someone is really friendly. Careful with this ability! The spies would love to see you gone. You win when all the Mafia are dead.
4. dorf - Doctor (Doctor)
Doctor (Doctor)
You’re the doctor onboard the UNMS Eclipse. For some reason, nobody really seems to know... who you are. Despite the fact that you’re the one handing out medicines. These people really aren’t that bright.
You pick one person during the night to guard, and if someone tries to kill them, you’ll get a chance to heal them. You can’t heal yourself, though, so be careful! You win when all the Mafia are dead. You can protect one person from a kill each night.
5. GlyphGryph (Mechanic)
Townie (Mechanic)
You’re the mechanic on board the UNMS Eclipse. You fix things! That’s your job. That’s your only job. You’re pretty good at it, but you’re not gonna be fixing things anytime soon, not if you’re dead. You win when all the Mafia are dead.
6. Therion (Forklift Driver) - Replaced by Webadict
Townie (Forklift Driver)
You’re the forklift driver on board the UNMS Eclipse. You drive forklifts. Simple work, but very critical when you’re moving around nuclear weaponry. No forklift driving for you for now, though, especially if you’re dead... You win when all the Mafia are dead.
7. Rolan7 (Accountant)
Townie (Accountant)
You’re the accountant on board the UNMS Eclipse. Numbers are your thing. You keep the money flowing around here! Unfortunately, nobody’s making any money right now. Especially not you, if you end up dead. You win when all the Mafia are dead.
8. ExKirby (Cook)
Townie (Cook)
You’re the cook on board the UNMS Eclipse. You’re the best cook in the worst restaurant in the universe. That makes your food pretty damn edible but pretty damn mediocre. That’s okay. Nobody wants it now, since you’re all eating Pop-tarts. Won’t do you any good in the afterlife, either... You win when all the Mafia are dead.
9. inteuniso (Navigator) - Replaced by Leafsnail
Townie (Navigator)
You’re the navigator on board the UNMS Eclipse. You love a good map, now don’tcha? The ship isn’t moving, though, and so you won’t be mapping any courses any time soon, will you? It isn’t easy to navigate the afterlife, either... You win when all the Mafia are dead.
Special: IC (Captain)
You’re the Captain of the UNMS Eclipse, a merchant marine vessel carrying a deadly cargo of nuclear weapons (minus detonators, thankfully). But now there are spies onboard your ship, and so you’ve left your crew to work it out. You can help with their challenge, but you’re not gonna vote in this one. You might allow... bias to take hold. You might save the spy scum, you can’t get involved.
Also, this is funny, and you’re a dick.
Special: IC (First Mate)
You’re the First Mate of the UNMS Eclipse, a merchant marine vessel carrying a deadly cargo of nuclear weapons (minus the detonators, thankfully). But now there are spies onboard your ship, and so you’ve left the crew to work it out, on Captain Webadict’s orders. You’re envious of the Captainship, but you could never get that far, because you forget about everything.
Also, to be a captain, you apparently have to be a dick.
Special: IC (Native Liberation Army Commander)
Your spies, Akigagak and Errol, have finally gotten hold of a cargo. And it’s the very one you’ve been looking for. You can’t let them screw this one up. They told you that the Captain is on to them, so you’ll just have to help them clean up the crew. You can get to their communicators on the channel here:
http://www.quicktopic.com/43/H/5T6ZnUL8m39i7. You will secure those nukes. You will. The United Native can, and must, fall, and you’re opening the way here. Show them what you’re made of!
Akigagak is a straight-up Mafioso; Errol is a Godfather.
(NOTE TO WEBADICT: SIG MATERIAL AT MESSAGE 119)
DeadTopicEpilogue:
"Vector, Vector, Vector," the Commander of the Native Liberation Army's Espionage Branch says. Vector gulps. This isn't going to be pleasant. "You understand my frustration. We can't let you go, but we can't really assign you to the same sort of thing any time soon."
"You're demoting me," Vector sighs. "Probably going to put me out in the field in the hopes of getting me eliminated."
"Not getting you killed, nor are we sending you out in the field. But you are on serious probation, Vector. This was a momentous failure. We got the spies on the ship, we got the ship confused for so long - and then it all fell apart. You - ugh." The Commander rubs his eyes. "This was perfect and you screwed it up."
"I know what happened," Vector replies dully. "Are we done here?"
The Commander shrugs. "Are we?" Vector responds with a salute and an exit.
In the end, Vector can't really be bitter about it. But he can try again.
