Yeah, the captain's being weirdly aggressive with people giving their educated opinions. Especially since they were selected as some of the most well educated opinions of the human race.

The Captain wouldn't have wanted this sir, he once told me "Better that many bad men survive then that a few good souls should slowly wither and decay in a disastrously small gene pool." We should wake up enough people to keep watch over the other colonization pods and other vulnerable areas of the ship while we investigate and safely get to our new home. Your plan is needlessly reckless and endangers the mission which is keeping humanity alive.

Hot Dog Day 80 posted:LLSix, The medical officer can declare the captain mentally unfit for command. The senior medical officer is Doctor Moreau and he is currently enthusiastically supporting Oldcastle. As far as ordering dangerous things goes, you're a military officer. Your superiors are supposed to order you to do dangerous things. In theory you are required to disobey illegal orders, but if the next order is legal you're still supposed to obey it. You know of a couple of times where someone was exonerated for disobeying orders on those grounds, but the commanding officer is never punished in practice. There's definitely no legal basis for mutiny. If you do mutiny, anyone who follows you is going to be the sort of person who is willing to disobey orders which will make getting them to do what you want twice as hard. That's one of the reasons mutinies aren't usually successful in the long run.

We're next in line for command. If he keeps seeming like an irrational moron and we seem like a level headed rational person someone may make the decision to do a favour for us. In that case we just need to make sure we have an alibi when it happens. The captains plan to scatter humanity across the planet sounds odd. What are the chances half of the drop ships malfunction in orbit. Could be he's trying to install his own kingdom style bullshit.

D Give someone we trust the task of shivving and spacing this guy. We gotta get to the drat planet and we can't do that by throwing off all the navigational math with this stupid, stupid plan. Off the Cap, proceed with plan to wake up enough dudes to guard the sleepies. Anyone acting suspicious around crucial personnel/equipment till we get planetside gets locked up and/or spaced. gently caress procedure, gently caress ethics, lets make sure we get where we're going and launch some people grenades at it. CAPTAIN CAPTAIN can eat a space bullet for all I care.

Outrail posted:The captains plan to scatter humanity across the planet sounds odd. That is not his plan. It's a worst case contingency. He thinks he'll be able to find the murderer and be able to ramp up deceleration in time to make the landings as planned. Anders thinks that's unlikely, but not impossible.

You decide not to continue pressing your argument. There are only a few other comments and Oldcastle quickly wraps up the meeting. Afterwards, Anders catches up to you and asks for a minute. "Thank you for having my back. I appreciate it. Don't worry, I'll make it work." While he's walking away you think you hear him mutter "Somehow." *** Days pass into weeks. All of the colonists have been fingerprinted and none was identified as the killer. After the second interrogation 1) What do you tell him? A. I pretend I don't know what he is talking about. B. I tell him I was ordered not to tell anyone where they were. A true statement, but one he is likely to take badly. C. I tell him I was ordered not to tell anyone, and especially not him, where they were. A true statement, but one he is likely to take even worse than B. D. I tell him where they are Hot Dog Day 80 posted:e. I ask him where his weapons cache is, you know, in case anything happens to him. *** When you look through the dead colonist dossiers, one springs out at you. One of the dead colonists had been elected as the future president of the new colony. Guess they'll need to hold elections again. Without their intended leader and woken early, the colonists mostly turn to Herald's officers for guidance. Chaplain Freya Silvstedt, Chief Engineer Yurika Pavlovich Korolev, Botanist Jennifer Skye, Doctor Drake Moreau and quartermaster Jane Bean have all distinguished themselves in this regard. Oldcastle has started inviting one of the passengers who has been especially helpful, one Nweismuller Meyerson to weekly meetings. Navigator Dana Anders has been spending 16 hours a day on the bridge; working on flight plan after flight plan. The captain recently let him step up the deceleration to 1.4g, but the ever-present worry lines on his face have not eased. 2) What do you focus your time during this period G. I pore over the colonist dossiers, hoping to find more clues as to the killer or the killer's intentions. Even though Oldcastle took me off the investigation. H. I spend time with the colonists, tending to their needs. I. I work to keep crew morale up and discourage dissent. J. I work to reduce crew morale and encourage dissent in a bid to stir up a mutiny/hope someone spaces Oldcastle. K. I study images of our future home, looking for potential landing sites and learning geographic features. write in LLSix fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Feb 9, 2017 |

E Let me show you  H Branch out. Can't fall behind in the colonist political game. His command is extremely conditional. As the last remaining humans, there is no place outside the ship from which he can draw his authority. He's Captain only by the assent of the crew and passengers.

Wd should find a group of rational non-idiots and ask them to form a body guard for us. With the prior captain, the future president and so many military police dead it's pretty obvious we're the next target of things go south for him. Buuuuut. This is a ship. It relies on so much technology, all it would take is a glitch for the captain and half his loyal supporters to be fried alive or exposed to the void of space as a valve goes wrong. Just saying. Befriend the engineers/masters behind the electronic curtain.
