And that... is not the game. The next turn will be up soonish.

Ah, because puppies are less edgy. Top tier strategist here.

Day 7- I Must Take My Newfound Light to New Lands Steel watched the lifebuster retreat. They hadn't managed to destroy it, but they had managed to drive it away. And thank goodness for that. There also hadn't even been enough krell forces to get anyone shot down, which was a plus. And now... they had a rebel to pull out by their roots. The question was, who of the tiny group of pilots left was it? Steel looked at his tiny flight. Everyone else had been shot down or kicked out of the military. Even his Flight Leader had been shot down a few fights ago, which had left Steel in charge. He still wasn't sure how he felt about that. The flight landed back in the hangar, and Ironsides was there again. And she looked angry. Angry at Llerk. "Why in damnation did you think it was a good idea to sit around and do nothing when there was a LIFEBUSTER ATTACKING US?" Llerk looked up in terror, but said nothing. He was a quiet man, and never had said much. "You're coming with me. If I have my way, you'll never fly again. And Steel?" "Yes Ma'am?" "Don't bother stopping me. You know how much of a problem this is." Steel just nodded. Llerk looked at him for help, but Steel just shook his head. "You got yourself into this. Now get yourself out of it." Doomslug could see it. She fluted, and began to move towards the goal that would change the fate of life and death on the planet of Detritus. _______________________ No one was shot down!

Night 6: But Now, My Time Is Up Steel had only been able to keep Ironsides away for so long. But Paradise Song had earned her ire for not being involved in attacking the Krell for two times in a row. A very rebellious thing to do, for sure. Things only got worse when an investigation was launched into her, and they discovered that she had a romantic relationship with Number 4. Suddenly, not only was she a slacker, but quite possibly a rebel. She was immediately thrown into a prison cell, while the higher ups debated what they should do with her. Suddenly, Steel was hit with an ominous feeling. Something bad was about to happen. Something bad in timing, and bad in the fate of this base. The screaming alarms indicated what that feeling had come from. Another Lifebuster. One escort. And now, they had one less Gunner to shoot it down for them. They had to be close, right? To rooting out the gunners? Could there be another rebel? Or, was there another Traitor among them? Steel didn't really know what to think as he piled in, along with his now tiny forces. If they failed tonight, on the edge of victory, everyone would die. But if they succeeded, Steel could finally go home. Doomslug fluted in joy. She could smell it. She was close, very close indeed. Another day, and she could finally find what she was looking for. ______________ xxGaea was lynched! She was a Rebel Gunner. xxGaea (4): Bard, Fura Fura (1): Elandera Elandera (1): Ark There is a lifebuster, and a single escort ship, 3C. If the lifebuster is not stopped, it will destroy the base. Your PMs should be going out shortly. PMs are also open. The night will end in 23 hours, at 8:00 AM EDT, 6/8/19.

The turn is over. The next turn might be a bit slow in coming, I’m kind of tired this morning. It should be up in the next couple of hours though.

when you fail to take actions multiple turns in a row, you get an additional vote for each night turn you failed to take an action.

Day 6- And I Am So Much Better For It 6 ships. Surely they should have been able to handle 6 ships. But no, had insisted on never shooting a single Krell, but always shooting at people to see whether they were actually in their ships or not. But that had backfired on him tonight, hadn't it. 2 Krell had ripped through his weakened hull, and he had crashed to the ground. Steel ground his teeth in frustration, looking out the hangar doors, cursing the stupidity of the sniper for not doing what he was told to do- to fight the Krell. Not only that, but another of Steel's good friends had been shot down. Striker, the Ace pilot of his flight had been shot down by the rebels. He clenched his fists, silently vowing revenge against whatever Rebel had decided it was a good idea to shoot down one of the best fighters against the Krell. A small blue and yellow creature with flutes on its back came up towards him. He had no idea what it was, but he needed the comfort. So he started petting the odd creature, who began to make pleased noises out of its flutes. "You know, little guy, I wonder if perhaps there's a way to cut off the Krell forever. A way to permanently end the threat from above. What do you think?" The little creature tooted, then inched a way again. Steel sighed, and looked out again on the desolate landscape. What a barren place. According to the stories, Earth had been lush and beautiful, once. He wondered why they had ever even left. Or for that matter, how they had gotten here. ____________ Drake Marshall was shot down in Fresa-3. He was the Sniper pilot. StrikerEZ was shot down in Fresa-4. He was the Ace pilot.

Night 5- Now the World Will See Me Shine "Bad Wolf, Storm. You two are in big trouble," said Steel. They had been discussing things for a while, and had found reason for both of them to be dirty rebels. "But we can only court martial one of you. Do you have anything to say for yourselves?" Bad Wolf spoke up first. "I've been framed, sir. I've been a loyal pilot this entire time, and would never touch one of those stupid turrets." Steel raised an eyebrow. A bit defensive, huh. But he turned to Storm, who looked distinctly bored. "I'm a gunner, alright? I just want to go hang out with Number 4 again. There are others that care more about the cause than I do. Just go ahead and kick me out." Steel was a little taken aback at the admission. "Well then we will oblige you Storm. You are hereby stripped of your rank and right to fly. Not that you've apparently been doing even that." Storm shrugged, and began to walk away. "You know, this sort of thing is part of why I joined the cause in the first place. You're so busy looking for traitors or shooting down Krell that you haven't even done anything about that odd ship I noticed a few days back. It's still flying about, you know, I saw it last night. I still have no idea what side it's fighting for, though. It moves too fast to tell. But not that you'll believe me anyway, now that you've kicked me out and everything." Storm turned a corner, and passed out of sight, heading towards an exit. He'd probably be arrested along the way. He knew there was no point in running. Steel thought about what he had said for a moment, then shook his head. He couldn't let him get inside of his head. Plus, it was about time to get on patrol. The Krell had been pretty consistent in when they had been sending forces, and his flight could get the jump on them if they got in the air now. Doomslug was no longer sure where she had looked and where she hadn't. What was she even looking for again? She was tired. But she also knew she would recognize whatever it was when she found it. If she ever did. _______________________ Mailliw was lynched. He was a Rebel Gunner. Elandera (1): Mailliw Xinoehp (1) xxGaea (2): Fura Mailliw (5): Elandera, StrikerEZ, Ark, Drake, Bard There are 6 Krell ships tonight. 1E is at 4 health. 3A, 3C, 4A, 5A, and 5B are all at 5 health. There is no lifebuster. PMs are open. Remember if you fail to take an action, you will incur an additional vote on you during the next day. The turn will end in 23 hours, at 8:00 AM EDT, 6/6/19.

Day 5- Releasing the Radiance I Feared to Share His flight was so small now. But they were all that stood before Alta Base and that Lifebuster. And the escort Krell attacked anything that attacked it. He even saw a rebel turret get swarmed by a few Krell, for daring to shoot at the thing. At that sight, Llerk and Paradise Song left the formation, leaving them exposed on the sides. He knew they would have to deal with the consequences of failing to fill their duty later on. For now, Steel and his flight plugged onward, through Krell fire. Lightlances, IMPs, and destructors all just barely turned the thing away. Thankfully, the Lifebuster only had a few escorts, or it would have ended a lot worse than it did. They managed to force the ship farther away from Alta Base, and then knock the thing out of the sky with a few well placed IMP missiles and destructor blasts. But only just barely. The flight landed, and Steel spared a glance for Llerk and Paradise Song. "Skull Flight. I'm calling a meeting. I am nearly certain there are several traitors from Bountiful Cavern in this flight. We should have been able to shoot down that thing better than we did, even with our forces this low. We are sitting down, until we figure out who the traitors are." The rest of the flight looked properly intimidated. Good. Steel was going to get the truth out of these pilots whether they liked it or not. He couldn't afford to fly with people he couldn't trust. Not anymore. Doomslug liked head scratches, and fluted affectionately at the individual scratching her. Much better than being shoved into a gun, she was sure of that. ____________ The lifebuster was shot down, and the crisis averted. No one was shot down. PMs are closed. You should have already gotten your GM PM. Remember to submit repair actions and ship requests. This turn will end at 8:00 AM 6/5/19, an extra 12 hours because I won't be around tomorrow night to do rollover. And for the rest of this week. Starting vote count: xxGaea (1) Xinoehp (1)

Night 4- But You Broke My Firmament Alarms sounded through the base. High alert. No ordinary Krell attack warranted that. This, this was death. A Lifebuster ship was attacking. Every pilot scrambled for the best ship they could find, except one, who held her head in shame. She had just been court-martialed for having hidden a bunny from the clean-up crew. Not that Steel really disagreed with Preciousss's actions, but he didn't have time to dwell on the injustice of the situation. He flipped the controls, powering on his acclivity ring, and took off. Sure enough, there it was in the distance. A lifebuster, with a small escort of ships that would probably only attack anyone who attacked the lifebuster. Every pilot knew their job. Turn back that ship, and destroy it far enough away from the base to make sure no one got killed. After the previous night, Steel wasn't so sure about how he felt about that sentiment. But surely, the rebels would have just as high of a stake in destroying the Lifebuster as well. Right? The flight was too small to sustain much more culling from the rebels... if they didn't kill more soon, they would be liable to run over the base, and then Steel would never get his medical leave. He pushed everything else aside, and aimed his Fresa at the ship that threatened his life. And then he opened up the afterburners. There would be no time to worry about high-Gs now. He was going to get every bit of speed out of this ship that he possibly could. Doomslug had finished her nap, and was back on to her journey. She could almost feel that she was close to her goal, if she just looked a little longer... _____________ Lumgol was lynched! She was a Pilot! Drake (2) - Elandera, LumgolLumgol (4) - Bard, Fura, StrikerEZ, Ark PMs are open, and you should have already gotten your GM PMs. The forces tonight are simple. One Lifebuster, 1E, 3A, 3C, and 4A. The Krell Ships will be acting as escorts, and will therefore only attack ships that attack the Lifebuster. The shield of the Lifebuster comprises 5 of it's health, with 15 total health including the shield. If the Lifebuster is not stopped, only the Traitor will win the game. Good luck. The turn will end in 23 hours, at 8:00 PM EDT, 6/3/19.

The turn is over, the new turn will be up soonish, I’m sort of preoccupied with family videos atm.
-
10 minutes remaining. Submit your stuff now or forever hold your peace.
-
There are slightly less than 4 hours remaining in the turn. Get your ship requests and repair actions in now.
-
I'll take a spec doc.
-
Yeah but it wasn’t in the rules, thus making it a secret.
-
As stated in the write up, joe was a pilot. Not a gunner. That’s the secret. Not sure how that’s not clear.
-
Oh, while I'm thinking about it. Rollovers are going to be a bit weird this week. I have some really late shifts mid-week, making it near impossible for me to do rollover then. I'll figure out how to solve that issue in a day or two, but it might involve extending a turn by 12 hours or so.
