NO ONE has been put on notice, as the day ended before lurker rules took effect!

The crew worked quickly through the cold server room - the chill was getting to everyone, it seemed, and tensions were running high. There was a constant feeling of running out time. The confusion over Sly's death made everything worse.

Eventually, someone spoke up. "Old Dog said he was guarding Sly, right? How come Old Dog's here, and Sly ain't?"

The room turned to the big, hulking old man, half hunched over - and more metal in the torso than flesh, as he took a drag on a cigarette, staving off the cold. His eyes betrayed frustration, and more importantly, confusion, and regret.

"I don't know, gang." He shook his head. "You know how I get standing guard. I don't sleep, I hardly blink. But maybe I'm just not as good as I used to be."

"Yeah, or you're in on the setup." Someone accused, as firearms were brandished in Old Dog's direction. He didn't flinch - he'd been on the receiving end of firearms like theirs, before. Many times.

"I came out here for one last job. I intended to finish it." He drew himself up to his full height, slowly - a figure who dwarfed many of the others here. "...But, well, if I can't even do my job properly when it matters. What good am I, yeah?"

He stood still, as he took a sharp inhale of his cigarette, finishing it off and tapping the ashes out on the floor, lightly stamping them.

"...You're gonna need a lot of firepower to kill me, if none of you got any of the good ammo left." He motioned to a spot just below his ribcage. "But if you shoot up from here, point blank, well. Tis old frame has some structural weaknesses, and blind spots. Not useful if the target knows about 'em."

"Just make it quick, will ya? I don't wanna suffer - and I'd like to get to Sly proper quick, to apologize. For letting him - and you - down."

It was a grisly effort - in a way, it felt much like their execution of Chief. Which is why none of them were surprised when, after Old Dog dropped to the ground and finally earned his proper retirement, to not find a clue to their saboteurs on him.

quote:

He wasn't part of the latest generation of freelancers. Wyatt remembers better than most when the roof over people's heads wasn't a steel ceiling dividing the haves and have-nots. That didn't me he didn't know how to ply the trade - the old mainstays of getting work, doing the legwork, they all still worked, even with a more digitized medium. It's not gotten any easier to do the job, but there's some small conveniences the newer tech bring - he would know, with that reinforced ribcage of his.

A couple years ago, though, he wanted out - and no strings attached, he got it. He'd been helping the crew grow in his twilight years, but it was better to get out now than risk it all. Or so he thought. He was more than a fool than he realized, given he got lured back in. One last job, for the biggest prize they'd ever gone for.

What could go wrong?
:rip: hambeet, aka Wyatt "Old Dog" Bancroft, CREW(Town)-Aligned Heavy (Bodyguard), was executed at the end of Act 4! :rip:

With the grisly business taken care of, they wrapped up what data they had gotten - not much, with how quickly they had worked. The laboratories waited, down below. They needed to see what this special secret was... they had a name for it, now, at least.

"Project Tsukuyomi".


It is now Intermission 4. Action submissions are due NO LATER THAN Midnight, EST, on Friday, November 16th. I will process and open the thread early should all actions be in before the deadline.

Sub-Floor 4. They were here. Not in one piece, and not without issues yet resolved... But they made it. Eyeing each other warily, people were yet still getting use to feeling the warmth in their fingers after leaving the server room. But many who were catching their breath found it taken away by the laboratories they came so far to find.

Project Tsukuyomi.

The lab was expansive, possibly bigger than even the server room above it. And all sorts of technologies seemed present - all containing strange metals the crew had never seen. A look through the active databases, however, caused their eyes to light up with equal parts curiosity... and fear.

quote:

The results are astounding and beyond anything we could have ever predicted. Using iridium in some of our latest technological pursuits - specifically, iridium mined from the surface of the Moon, has done nothing but jump start our findings.

When 'activated' with a highly focused beam of light, the material glows, and the reaction changes the resulting metallic compounds around it, as well as producing energy reactions that are unprecedented - changes in states of matter, exothermic expulsions that nearly defy the conservation of energy as we know it, and other marvels quite unlike it. We're the only people who have managed to acquire this technology. Do you know what this means? We would be the start of a second technological revolution. A true Singularity, the likes of which could never have been conceptualized by the greatest writers of science-fiction!

If there is any downside to this technology, it's that lunar iridium, once 'activated' within a piece of technology not made entirely from lunar iridium cannot change back so readily - once 'on', it is on, for good. This can be seen with our demostrative shapes - the metallic cubes, once 'activated' with inner lunar iridium, change their shape to invoke a partial solar eclipse - which gave rise to the project's name.

Further experimentation of lunar iridium in mechanized human prosthetics has revealed...
A second technological revolution. One that could rival the greatest world-shaking technological discoveries of the past. No wonder New Horizon wasn't keen on letting this go.

...And why there were some within the crew who still wanted it for themselves.

Shots and screams rang out, almost deafeningly familiar - but at the same time was the noise of a mechanized raven's cry. Spreading out, the remaining crew investigate.

They found Warden first. Their go-to lockdown specialist, Warden had been keeping himself in check all through the trek, but now his face was a shocked, almost bemused expression - something about his impending betrayal, characterized on his face, as funny. It was unsettling enough to see him smile.

It was more unsettling that the face he made seconds before his death was one of grim amusement.


quote:

Gene wasn't here to make friends. That's what he always told them. He was here cause Keira had him over a river with a deal he had to take. Gun to his head, that was the honest truth - Kiera could be real nasty when she wanted, and she had wanted someone to help keep things in line. Apparently all those stories he told her of his old corp work lead to her thinking he had some sway over all the tricked out augmented people he ran into in the day to day.

She was right, but still. Kinda ballsy for her to think that of him.

Ever since he's played the hardliner while the rest of the crew's gotten to play fast and loose - so long as the successes keep rolling in, it's fine, right? The crew needs someone to be the bad guy - or, well, as close to 'bad' as anyone here gets. And lucky for him, he fits the bill to a T.

:rip: imgay, aka Gene "Warden" Watanabe, CREW(Town)-Aligned Interrogator (Odd-Night Jailer), was shot to death during Intermission 4! :rip:

Midnight wasn't so lucky. Ever since Tiny died, she'd been picking up the slack, trying her best to probe into records and find what they needed to get out of here alive. Unfortunately, that meant she had let her guard down for just a moment - looking over her gear, and with a blade struck right through her torso, pinning her to the ground where she sat. Pity, the one time she stopped fidgeting...

quote:

Ashe's story begins and ends with a simple fact. She never was able to sit still, to do one thing, to stay in one place. The crew's been the longest she stuck around for a while, and part of that is how well they've matched up with her sleep schedule - "Midnight" was a good moniker for her, cause she'd wake up about that time, with some new idea in her head. And once an idea got lodged there, she wouldn't be able to leave it be until she explored it.

Luckily, this translated to a little bit of background in everything, and you've filled in the blanks as needed. Getaway driver, doctor, computer systems specialist. You've done those and more, but you rarely go on the high profile missions - but this time, there's a score big enough for everyone. How could she say no to that?

Maybe she should have, in retrospect.

:rip: Kitiara, aka "Midnight" Ashe Campbell, CREW(Town)-Aligned Specialist (Backup) Hacker (JOAT), was eviscerated during Intermission 4! :rip:

And then there was the raven, whose shrill, mechanized voice called out once more, in the ringing silence of the grisly scene.

The following people visited the LOOKOUT during Intermission 4:

There wasn't much time left, or people left... but they had made it to the labs, and found the mother-lode they'd been hoping to find.

Ok, so yesterday was a trip. Solus and CPig, could we get your results? I have a strong suspicion we could be in a MYLO or LYLO situation.

Also, if Solus was being honest about only seeing Hambeet visiting the person, then there is a possibility that scum have a backup and got a backup ninja.

The last time we got the Raven was during Night 2, so it would seem that this is an even ability. Has anyone claimed Lookout? Don’t think anyone has.

Does that mean Chores is Lookout? Or has someone claimed it and I’m loving stupid? I think everyone else has claimed and no one mentioned having an ability like this or claiming responsibility for the night 2 shenanigans. Or they conveniently omitted it.

The numbers aren't good though. If there are still 2 scum left and SK, then out of 7 players, 3 are bad. If we cuddle scum today, that takes us to 6. 2 kills at night would take us to 4 with still 2 bads left if they don't kill each other. Even if we get one, taking us to 3, they kill someone at night and its down to 2. We lose.

If it is only one scum left and the SK, we can still win.

King Burgundy posted:

Putting this out there in case I get killed at night so there is handy analysis to look at for everyone else.

On the off chance Beet doesn't flip SK and flips town bodyguard. I still don't know how that would have happened, but if it did, then SK is limited to very few people.

Imgay - busy jailing KB, confirmed by KB and Kit
KB - busy being jailed - announced that he was jailed before Imgay confirmed, rules out Jug. Also confirmed by Kit and Pig later.
Kit - busy stealing Pig's power of Watch and trying to voyeur KB and failing due to jail.
Pig - busy watching Imgay, but if lying, still proven watcher based on Kit's power.
Ecco - Visited Pig, proven by Loud hitting Kit and Jimmy
Max - no proven action last night, but had a proven mason action on a previous night with two kills, rules him out for SK even if you somehow think a proven backup could be SK.
Solus - Tracked Beet to Hal. Even if he's lying about this, he also tracked Ecco to himself on N2, a night with two kills, rules him out for SK.

That leaves Beet, who says himself he visited Hal. But if he flips town, or even scum but not SK:

Chores - I don't think we know anything about what Chores does at night and he wasn't caught up in other peoples actions that I recall.
Jimmy - Jimmy could actually lie about hiding behind Pig last night and would know to claim he heard Ecco based on other peoples claims.

Im trying to work out what the gently caress is going on. I know there has to be something because I know I’m Hider and I couldn’t do anything because I hid yesterday. It can’t be Solus, Ecco or Kit because they all visited Chores (assuming he is the lookout, which he probably is. Also probably the reason he held back on fullclaiming cause he’d be outing himself.)

Ideal situation is that we lynch SK tonight to reduce the killings to one. We can stem the bleeding.

Burden is in me to prove my innocence, so I’m gonna have to loving wrack my mind to find out what the gently caress is going on.

Also, does that mean that the SK kill the night before was not Hal?

There was only 1 kill on night one and no one has come out with any protective roles if I am not mistaken. The only way, assuming the SK was active from day 1 which would be the case if I have been SK, that there could only be one kill is if Imgay jailed the SK. There’s no doctors and the JOAT doesn’t have the doctor role.

Imgay jailed Ecco on night one.

Ecco never claimed her role. She only said that she was loud and clocked CPig as scum. She never stated what her role was.

Also, scum backup ninja had to be the one to kill Hal the night before because Solus only saw Beet visit Hal that night. Unless we’re assuming that Solus is lying, which opens up the suspect pool to more people.

I mean, I guess if Max got to use the Mason recruit at the same time as a kill? I guess we did have the weird situation where Kit was able to use two different powers.

If we have to allow for that then anyone can be SK though, so that is kinda of lame to even think about.

Max
Nov 30, 2002

I don't want to completely throw out night actions, but it's clear there are roles out there that are built to intentionally gently caress with other investigative roles and is going to give us all a headache.

I'm going to agree with Ecco and say I still feel Pig is scum, though I don't want to throw a vote down yet since it feels like we're close to or at endgame here. But my virtual vote is on him today barring any other craziness.

Could KB have broken through imgay jailing? Has he claimed yet? That's where I'm feeling right now.

I really want Max to be scum and if that were true I would feel vindicated.

The "obvious" SK candidate is Jimmy, but idk I like Jimmy and don't want to think he's scum.

If it's none of those three then maybe it's chores, and the lookout power is just dressing?
