You gather again, but many are missing this time. Leafsnail, Urist McArathos, Jim Groovester, and Pandarsenic all fail to show up.
Puzzled, you head off to see what happened to them.
Leafsnail’s room, perhaps unsurprisingly, gives no hints as to what happened to him. He is simply gone.
In Urist McArathos’ room, however, it is quite clear what happened. His body has been ripped to shreds, and a dark blue liquid is splashed everywhere. A type of blood, perhaps? The insides that remain certainly don’t appear to be human in any way. A search of the ship’s database reveals that he was probably a Hivemind. Which means that he was trying to take control of the ship. Perhaps the doppelgangers did you a favor?
Looking in on Jim Groovester and Pandarsenic show that both of them died in their beds, with no visible wounds. They may have been controlled by the Hivemind, since the death of a Hivemind is known to kill all those that it controls.
Looking over Jim’s room you find a candle, a length of chain, and several manuals describing an order known as the Psychic Wardens. You can’t make out most of it, but it seems he had the power to prevent others from doing anything for a while.
Pandarsenic’s journal shows that he was acting as a Guardian for the ship, trying to keep the Doppelgangers from killing everyone. Pity he couldn’t have done more.
Much to do, still. There are still doppelgangers on this ship, after all, and they did not kill the Hivemind as a favor to you.
Day 4 has started. It will go until ~5pm Pacific Monday.
Sorry for the delay folks. Things have been crazy lately and unfortunately that keeps impacting this game. :/
