Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
As the end of the day approaches, more and people turn hateful gazes towards the one known simply as Dallas-Dakota. Sensing the hate and the danger, Dallas-Dakota makes his way towards a small room next to the café in the area, and seals himself in as a mob forms and starts screaming for his head, along with other body parts.
”What is in here that I can use? There must be something in here I can use to escape!”
However a quick examination of the room reveals it is a simple storage room for the various coffees and drinks that are made for the café. The ship, being a top of the line luxury liner, is fully stocked with the rarest and best tasting drinks in the known galaxy, and in this small room, with a backup coffee maker and a water line lies the storeroom!
”Well, there was that one 2-D show that started with Futur…. Something that had a guy drink a lot of coffee and he got super speed! Maybe the same will work for me. Better start with the good stuff.”
His mind set, Dallas-Dakota looks over the various bags, and pulls out the one that has the most expensive price tag on it. A quick look over it reveals that the specially genetically engineered coffee beans are run through the digestive systems of multiple animals on several different planets, in some cases the animals were consumed by others and the resulting chemical ballet would produce these coffee beans. There is a warning label, but Dallas-Dakota ignores this and starts brewing coffee.
Cup #1
The first cup is the best coffee ever! Nothing can top it, and the caffeine and LSD high is very nice. Time for another cup while those fools outside lack the basic coffee of life.
Cup #7
The shakes have started, but that was to be expected, for the shakes are a precursor to super-speed. The magical number is 100 cups, better start drinking more.
Cup #21
CHEERS!
Cup #46
CLEAR!
The Auto-Defliberator shocks Dallas-Dakota once again, the burns marks on his chest testament to his desire to gain super-speed to escape the mob outside the door. Shaking his head as he recovers from the heart attack induced by the overdosing of caffeine, Dallas-Dakota reaches for yet another cup.
Cup #73
The coffee is starting to run out, the room is smells funny, and pink flying space kitties are flying around the room, dancing with Dallas-Dakota as he bounces off the walls with them.
Meanwhile the crowd outside has gotten it into their head to bring out a plasma cutter, and are starting to burn their way into the room.
Cup #98
It has been a long long road to this point, but it is almost done. Practically having minute seizures, Dallas-Dakota spills more coffee than he swallows.
Cup #99
The crowd outside cheers as they finally finishing burning through the door and it falls crashing to the ground. Twisting his head to the point of almost breaking his own next, Dallas-Dakota stares at the bloodthirty mob who want to see the alien blood in his veins leak out. Looking at them gives him unusual stability and he swallows another cup of coffee.
Cup #100
Before he can reach another cup, the mob swarm over him. Dallas-Dakota smirks and tries to dodge, but seizes and falls to the side, where he is punched and abused several times. He reaches out for that final cup that will bring him freedom, but an errant hand knocks it over, scalding his hand. Screaming in pain, he manages to twist away from those grabbing him and stumble down the hallway.
One of those that attacked him sees one of the torn bags, and takes a look. Reading the warning label, the figure smirks and drops it to the ground and follows Dallas-Dakota along with the rest of the mob.
As for Dallas-Dakota, he stumbles through the corridors, shaking violently, nearly getting sick but he manages to keep the precious coffee within. If he can just sneak away, he might be able to escape, find that last cup of coffee.
Meanwhile! On the bridge!
The helmsman of the ship looks over his displays, and narrows his eyes as he sees the ship drifting slightly off course. With a frown he reaches over to the controls and ends the constant war of dimensions and returns to the to normal space.
The Warning Label that Dallas-Dakota Should Have Read!
Quote:
Warning! Do not consume more than 3 cups while in FTL Travel. Due to the beans being treated with FTL Radiation, an excessive amount of this drink can cause dimensional issues.
In addition, drinking 100 cups within 100 minutes will lead to temporary super-speed. However this comes at the loss of all hair and sensation of taste and will render you permanently allergic to water.
And Now – The Grand Finale!
Dallas-Dakota screams in agony as every other molecule is torn from his body, staying put in the dimension where ships tear through space at FTL speeds. Due to the speed of the ship, despite no longer traveling at FTL speeds it is still traveling at a decent pace in plain of sublight. Hence the molecules that are torn from Dallas-Dakota leave a several hundred kilometer trail of bits and pieces of him behind the ship.
Within the ship, missing literally half of his mass, Dallas-Dakota simply falls apart into a bloody pile.
The mob observes this, and several more daring members look over what remains, and finds no trace of alien or temporal manipulation within the remains. It appears that poor Dallas-Dakota, driven to being torn apart between dimensions, was simply a Innocent Refugee.
The helmsman, none the wiser as to what happens, makes the minor course correction and reengages the FTL drives. This has the side effect of tearing what remains of Dallas-Dakota away from the ship, leaving them floating in the deep void of interstellar space.
Summary of Events- Dallas-Dakota was lynched – He was a Innocent Refugee
Night 3 Begins Now!

"Not the end I'd wish for," Fullbladder mutters, staring out the window at now long gone remains of The People's most recent victim, holding his wide hat to his chest.
After a few minutes his puts the hat back on, lights up a cigar, and turns away from the window.
He shooes Ranna out of his completely non-fortified quarters, non-fortified because he never got back to the bloody room, and locks the door rather coldly behind him.

So that's it. Another life lost... It's going to get worse. Every day, somebody is hunted. What's happening on this ship?
In need of some company, MK searched for the only person who could actually entertain him... the merchant.

((We'd tell you; but it would kind of ruin our fun. The android may or may not be a threat; the android may or may not be real; the android may or may not have a pink tutu in his chest cavity; the android may or may not be a female one; the android may or may not be a pink elephant and the android may or may not know why the meaning of the universe is 42.
Oh yeah. Revealing anything about any secret roles, even by the narrators activates Temporal Confusion. Killing the role.

I'll try to get something up before I leave, but I have many things to do before I take off (Doctor appointment, signing the 1st set of divorce paperworks, odds and ends shopping, then the actual leaving).

((I'm baaaack. Ahem. If I got anything about the ship wrong, O Mighty Narrators, please kindly smite me... er... tell me where I went wrong and I'll kindly rewrite the post. Thank you.))
A sallow-faced youth drifts through the zero-gee of the luxury liner-turned-deathtrap, kicking from one bulkhead to another. Catching hold of a nearby pipe, the young man pauses and takes several quick but shallow breaths of the ship's canned oxygen.
He looks out over a panoramic porthole over the sea of stars rushing by in streaking relativity. Ever and anon he could discern the vague shapes of planets and nebulae... and even weirder and more wonderful things than he had ever read of in the small town library hehad grown up in.
grrrggrgrgrrrrrumble... He clutches his belly as the pangs of hunger shoot through him. He is still reeling from the spacesickness that had feverishly brought him down a fortnight past but the time for better fare has come at last. He smiles to himself, imagining quite unsuccessfully what sorts of bizarre foods this trip might provide him with...
He clumsily kicks off again and wanders along the passages, not knowing where he should go to find the galley. Again, the scrawny lad stops, panting and clutching a bulkhead for support.
Finally swallowing his inbred colonial pride, he creeps over to the nearest computer access node and taps the surface lightly, wary of the outlandish technology. When the screen lights up, he asks in a shaky, almost nauseous voice, "Wh-wh-where i-is the... foodcourt... er... I m-mean, the... um... where's the galley? I n-need t-to eat"

((Alright! Buncha questions, yo! So chief Pwenet, what sort of materials is the ship made of again? Are the interiors smooth or uncovered? How large are the windows? Please confirm if my memory is right, Floating Dreams is traveling to... Sol System? From a colony system that unfortunately was in the path of an incoming asteroid storm? What sort of FTL drive does the ship use? Where's the kitchen/galley? Does the ship have a grav-deck for training/recreation? Does it have artificial gravity or is everything on freefall?))

Everything.
Glass, plastics, metals, pretty much all you can imagine and then some. Interiror: smooth for the used 'cruisey' areas; rough for the engine rooms and bowels of the ship. Windows: vary. Correct. FTL drive? *blanks* A really really good one. Kitchen/galley: There's one on pretty much every floor. Well, three really. That's how big it is. Yes. Artificial gravity.
It's pretty much whatever you want it to be. Can you think of it? There's one of every floor.

((Ha-harr! Thousand thanks, CKG! Hmm... how do they produce artificial gravity? FTL: well, there's the Kearny-Fuchida drive, there's LosTech, terraporting, hyperdrive, warp drive, transwarp, hyperjump...; then there's the matter of fuel... anti-matter, solar, ionized particles, etc...))

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
I'd assume that the gravity is generated by the inside of the ship spinning round. It probably has a name but I've forgotten it.

((@Stu42: Ah yes, centrifugal motion, just like in Ben Jeapes' Ark Royal... ))
The squint-eyed, skinny young man follows the directions that the computer flashed at him and soon arrives at a pair of massive double-doors, magnetically sealed. He fumbles with his pockets, fishing for his wallet, somehow still struggling in the now-extant low-gee of the current ring-deck.
He swipes the electronic ticket therein and stand back as the doors heeze open in a sudden rush of fragrat, pressurized air. He gasps and faints at the sheer opulence of the luxurious galley within...

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
Night 3 ends.
At the regular time the CleanerDroids actvated and hauled away the bloody remains of Dallas-dakota; taking it away to the incinerator. And a furtive figure trails after them. After resuing the body from the incinerator the figure takes it back to its quarters and uses his science to remolecularise Dallas-dakota and bring him back to life.
Down in the caverns of the ship an Alien toils over its work, mastering with ease the complex crafting of a Clone. But halfway through the process a figure bursts into the room screaming and wielding an antique 9mm nickel plated beretta; startling the Alien, demolishing the partially complete Clone and drawing the attention of the security cameras to him.
And from the civilian quarters a distraught and distended scream of frustration wakes the entire section from their uneasy sleep.
Expecting the worst the population of the ship gather in the large hall waiting for role call. To everyone's shock noone had died and DAllas-dakota was alive once more!
And an announcement as made that Emperor Demonking's true name was John McClane.
And the Captain of the Ship went to see a NuseDroid concerning some...unusual pain due to seducing someone
- Dallas-dakota was resurrected by the Temporal Mad Scientist
- The Queen was prevented from laying her eggs
- The Maintenance Drone was prevented from crafting its Item
- John McClane, a secret role was publicly revealed when he completed an action
- Someone was seduced
- Items were crafted and shared around
- No items were used
- Noone died

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
"I hope I didn't have you fooled, I didn't mean to." Said John. "The captain know the aliens maybe even the queen, that's good. Or at least for most of us. Draken."

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
Korias walks in with his arm in a sling, and a crutch under his arm. The hospital on this place is amazing! He says, hobbling over into a chair. I dunno what they did, but my arm feels good as new! except for you know, the fact that I cant move it yet. Nanites may work wonders, but they're still liable to crash. He says, turning to Dr. Bath So Doc... How much longer do I have to spend in this cast?
(I'm at a loss for who to point at. Maybe some new leads will come across, but this point is very likely to change.)

Since it seems like Emperor Demonking (aka John McClane) attacked an alien last night (?), I'm going to follow his lead and see where it takes us.
Draken.

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
The aliens seem to be having a really bad game of it.
I'm going to point at Draken until I get a better lead.
Do you think Dallas-dakota knows he's been resurrected? He may have given up checking the thread after he died?
V Thanks CKG.

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
Waking up from his long slumber, Rudy looks around and is more than little confused.
"Jesus, I gotta lay low on booze. This stuff is going to kill me if I continue in this manner."
He then wades slowly out of his room and gets to main room in a few minutes. Arriving there he notices a lot of commotion. Apparently, there is a hero from a famous action movie on board, John McClane himself. And he apparently stopped one of the aliens from doing his dirty work.
"This is so typical. Give a cowboy a chance and he will save the world. Barefooted, almost naked, without food, against impossible odds, but he will still make it. I guess this is why America is so great. Well, if he says that this Draken fellow is alien I'm not the one to prove him wrong."

"Im bored" thinks onasuma wandering around the deck of immense and never ending pleasure (i imagined it, thus it exists) "Hey! Draken, fancy a game of table tennis?"

Re: Nexus of the Future I - Floating Dreams of Riches - Day 1
Wait, so Draken is the queen? Korias asks, now utterly confused about what happened when he was in a hospital bed.
