As I do not think DarkO is the most pressing suspect, and I do not forsee more evidence turning up until after another lynching, I will vote for Airman. However, I still think the ones who tend to vote with each other should be watched closely.

Vote: Airman

I've been saying Airman for quite sometime now.

VOTE: airman

They need the Captain's pass codes to get past the fleet as Stubbs has mentioned. Well her's or some other important figure but our Psyker is dead.

Where is Stubbs, anyway? I haven't seen him recently...

Sorry, tired. Not easy getting to sleep knowing what could come crawling through your doorway.

Think I should vote Airman? He does seem fairly suspicious. Although as the Techpriest noted, Oblitr8r's story is getting more and more unlikely.

Airman has been quieter, more subtle. I think he constitutes the larger threat.

Emperor guide my words.

Vote: Airman

I will vote Airman, he was suspicious from the start. He has been quite I think that he is hiding something from us.

I hope that our decision was a right one men. Vote Airman

May the Emperor grant us justice, and may He guide our hands. Ave.

May he have mercy on our souls if we are wrong.

Many of the reasons given recently for voting Airman are quite superficial. This is the second time Drk_O has rather quickly escaped a lynch--and I see you've been keeping a close tally of the votes along the way. Still, what's done is done. The result will either discredit all of my suspicions about your or completely cement them.

I made that tally in a grand total of 2-3 mins, and I didn't save it.

I didn't actually think that encouraging people to vote would be this quick, and I made the tally so we could deicide appropriately.

Why is it all of my decisions seem suspicious in hindsight.

That's a very good question.

airman is lynched.

Day 2 is now over
---------------------
With grim certainty the mob turns upon airman - certainly he is the heretic amongst them! They descend on him quickly and mete out the Emperor's justice in various painful and unpleasant ways.

When it is over a quick search through his belongings uncovers a book of epic interpretive man-love poetry by L.E. Johnson and a meritorious badge of heretic purging.

airman was a normal Imperial Citizen

The hunt would go well.

The hunter slipped out of the air duct and positioned himself quietly in the corner. He eyed his prey carefully and smiled. The figure slept soundly, no doubt dreaming weak dreams of a perfidious Emperor corpse. The hunter reached over and ever so slightly opened the valve on the water basin. The gentle drip of moisture onto the bare metal was as unto a funeral march.

::plink:: ::plink::

The prey shifted uneasily in his sleep, perhaps managing to sense the danger on some primal level, perhaps a simple reaction to the noise. The hunter grinned, readying his blade as he waited for the moment to ripen. Like a sweet fruit you had to make sure to pluck terror at just the right moment, else all would be for naught. Finally the moment came, sleep bleary eyes opened slowly and then widened in terror as they saw the shape in the corner. Yes! There! The instant of recognition had come and the terror of imminent death mixed with ever so sweet betrayal became a bounty of which he would drink deeply.

The hunter struck fast and hard, his prey never managed to even scream.

His work done he returned to his chambers after cleaning up. The evidence had been removed and all that would be found was a body, a body that would bring more sweet terror with the coming of day. The hunter grinned as he opened the door to his room and slipped inside. He paused as he secured the lock - something was wrong here. He turned slowly, faintly hearing the sound of other beings breathing the air in his small chamber. His eyes widened as he saw the figures waiting for him, saw the gleaming claws and grinning faces. 'Clever beasts' he mused to himself as they sprang forward.

Their hunt had gone well.
-------------------------------------

You all awaken in the morning and do a quick head count. Two of you are missing! Neither Orkeosaurus nor Manchu have appeared! Wondering if perhaps they are the foul xenos you all first rush to Orkeosaurus' room. The old (slightly battered) Guardsmen looks even worse then you would have expected. Horrible things have been done to him and vile Chaos spawned propaganda has been carved into his flesh. With growing horror you turn and rush for Manchu's room. You find him slumped against the door, sprawling out into the hallway as you open it. His body ripped at and torn apart by xenos claws.

(normally I wouldn't reveal who killed whom in the Night phase, but this one seems fairly obvious once you learn the roles so I took the chance for artistic liberty)

Orkeosaurus is dead - he was an Imperial Citizen
Manchu is dead - he was a Night Lords Aspirant

-------------------------------------------------------
Day 3 has now begun, 3 week timer starts here
-------------------------------------------------------
With 10 alive it requires 6 to lynch

Holy Emperor! How many Xenos and Heretics are there!?!? Only by His grace have the xenos killed the unknown heretic amongst us. Now we must seize upon this stroke of divine grace and finally uproot the rest of the scum hiding among us.

I think we all know who is behind this...

(makes the cog-symbol of the Mechanicus) Omnissiah preserve us...the great enemy was amongst us...

::Catching his breath and thinking::

Why would Manchu kill Stumpy? Why would the xenos target Manchu, especially if they didn't know that he was a heretic?

Poor old Stumpy, he never stood a chance.

Im seriously confused and I have a new strategy for voting.

Suspect those who you never suspected before.

There was something going on with Frienzed Potatao and Manchu, Manchu seemed to be closing in on him.

So I vote : Frienzed Potatoa

[disbelief] I concured with the heretic... there is a grave flaw in my logic if my thoughts can reach the same end as a hide-cursed heretic...

(visibly shudders)

[query] did the xenos know? did something lead them to him?? Did he make an enemy of one of us...

[mourning] The truth is shrouded from me...

This is most uneventful, Stumps a loyal guardsman dead, and Manchu was a traitor. My mind is confused, is there more traitors on the ship?!

Ultrafool wrote:This is most uneventful, Stumps a loyal guardsman dead, and Manchu was a traitor. My mind is confused, is there more traitors on the ship?!

Of course there are, who do you think killed Stumps!

::at the mention of the accursed traitor's name the room chills ever so slightly and one might almost have sworn that there was a low, icily mirthful chuckle on the air; then all fades into silence and suspicion once again::

[query] Subject Gwar, you stated it that it was obvious who the culprit is...I am...lost and addled, who did this?? who?

It is Drk_Oblitr8r! Manchu was the most vocal against him, and now he winds up dead. Even if he was a filthy traitor who deserved nothing less, we can use his death to prevent ours!

voterk_Oblitr8r

[agreement] the evidence is damning indeed...and stacking up against Oblitr8r. That is twice now he has dodged the vote, and twice more people have died.

I must concur with Gwar...the evidence is too steep for you all to ignore now...

vote: Dark_Oblitr8r
