Looking at the ship’s logs like they’re a holy text. Was I online during the Day 2 rollover? No, that's been the one time I've gotten to sleep on this godforsaken ship! But here’s the thing about being an engineer: I don't go kickin' every pipe that rattles. I was on the Chiji train because the math seemed to lead there, and when I saw the Ophelia-clog starting to form, I shifted my wrench. I didn't jump into the "end-of-day madness" because when three different valves are bursting at once, the worst thing you can do is start turning handles at random. I stayed steady on my read. You call me "active but contributing little"? That’s 'cause I’m busy making sure the Lurcher-lines don't cross and blow us all to the Spiritual Realm! I’m looking for the Saboteur that’s gonna sink us in the long-haul—like Toucan—not just whoever’s making the most noise during a tie-break. If you’re lookin' for a monster, look for the ones who were changing their minds every five minutes to keep the tie alive. I picked my pipe and I stuck to it. Stay safe, and don't touch my doodads -Finch Zebra I was the one changing my mind every five minutes The way I see this, flip one of Zebra/Toucan today, if villa, flip the other the next cycle

First off: deleting content is frowned upon. If you have something to add, add it at the bottom or make a new post since I’d already posted Second: Did you just claim as a THIRD LURCHER? Third: I was in PMs with Axl and they told me they protected Heron. It’s possible two Lurchers targeted the same target, but still Three Lurchers on one village team sounds very unlikely to me 16 minutes ago, Quartz Zebra said: SUBJECT: RE: THE IDIOCY OF SCRAPPIN’ THE SHIELD You lot really are lookin' to sink this ship, aren't ya?

Quartz Zebra Posted January 11 Posted January 11 SUBJECT: EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN (Final Log of Engineer Finch) Finch lets out a long, weary sigh and sets her wrench down on the console for the last time. She doesn’t look at the mob; she looks at the ship’s vital signs, her expression one of grim acceptance. "Well, you did it. You finally pulled the emergency brake on the only person keepin' the hull together. I’m goin' to the scrap heap, but mark my words: when the lights flicker tonight and there’s no one to catch the coins headin' for the bridge, you’re gonna remember this moment. You’re gonna remember that you scrapped your Lurcher because you were too scared of a little noise in the vents. My flip’s gonna show you exactly what color my soul is—and it ain't Saboteur. @Taupe Gecko, I hope your logic is worth the hole you just put in our defense. To the rest of you: watch @Sunburst Toucan. I’m dyin' for that read, so you better make it count. Keep the engines runnin' if you can. But without an anchor, you’re just floatin' toward the deep dark. The wrench is down. The box is silent. Good luck, you rusted-out idiots. -(For the probably the final time) Finch

I’m honestly reconsidering Octo, because with 3(assuming one of us lurchers is lying) the Elims should have a coinshot. And with 4(if all of us aren’t lying) I’d say it’s needed to balance the teams

Pearl Chameleon Posted January 12 Posted January 12 A device let out a shrill and angry beep as Neugier’s heart stopped. Despite the best efforts of the small but dedicated SS TYRIAN medical crew, the damage was already done. As best as anyone could tell, Neugier had been on EVA making routine repairs along the surface of the exterior hull. A duty that had kept Neugier too busy to socialize much. As best as anyone could tell, no foul play had been involved. Just a stray piece of space debris moving at high speeds relative to the ship. Small enough that it posed no substantial threat to the TYRIAN, but large enough to rip through Neugier’s hardsuit without much difficulty. The extraterrestrial equivalent of getting struck by lightning. Similarly unlikely, too. But accidents happened sometimes. This is to say that Neugier was very much dead, but only very recently so. Only after a flurry of activity to recover the ailing body and unsuccessfully knit it back together. Even now, while the death was mere minutes ago, one final procedure still remained. The spiritweb could be extracted via hemalurgy, and installed in a new body. One fashioned not of flesh and blood but of steel and ettmetal. This was a last resort, for it was not a clean process. There would be losses. Memories in particular were delicate, and didn't always survive such a transferrence. It was Neugier’s last hope. Some Time Later In an empty chamber, machinery hummed to life as metalminds reached optimal charge thresholds and a bootup sequence completed. Metallic fingers flexed and unflexed. Lights flickered to life in a pair of sockets, which examined the new digits meticulously. The cyborg moved towards the exit, and the TYRIAN acknowledged its access and unbolted the door, which lead out into a fairly ordinary looking hallway. The hallway was not empty of crew, and its sensors focused on the nearest life sign. “Human,” it buzzed out. “Meatbag. Kindly cease ambulating and engage listening routines. This unit is operational. It is called CRANK. I await your orders.” 1
