This thread is reserved for your in game role, which may bestow you with an ability you can use in the game.

If your role type is "Active", you will need to post role actions in this thread. Only role actions posted in this thread will be accepted.

Your role will be given out at the beginning of Phase 1. An update will be posted at that time and this post will contain your role description. This thread will remain locked until you have a role.

Role Title: Hacker
Role Type: Active

Flavour:
One of the first tricks you learned in your studying was the ability to hack a simple network. It's crude, but it'll get you by.

Role Ability:
If the Phase number is a multiple of 3, you may choose to hack and send a message via the GMC console. This will be visible to all players in the game. The message can be no longer than 500 characters in length and can only contain alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), spaces and punctuation marks. Spaces and punctuation count as a single character use. You cannot send out an form of URL via this format. Players will not be told who sent the message or why it was sent.

Phase 3:

HELLO EVERYONE ON BOARD THE DALIA. I AM SENDING THIS OUT TO LET YOU KNOW OF MY PRESENCE. I FEEL EVERYONE FOUND A WAY OUT OF THAT ALIVE. I BELIEVE IT IS IN OUR BEST INTERESTS TO ALL WORK TOGETHER, IF WE ARE SPLIT UP OR NOT. IF WE CAN TURN ON THIS SHIP, FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, DO WHAT WE CAME HERE FOR, AND LEAVE, THEN EVERYTHING WORKS OUT. PLEASE DO NOT LET YOURSELVES GET SWAYED BY GREED. WE CAN ALL DO THIS TOGETHER. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET INFORMATION OUT THERE IN THE FUTURE.

Phase 3:
With a few tweaks here and there, you're delighted to see the message flash up on the GMC Console comms module.

Phase 6:

HELLO AGAIN. IF DAIN AND OTHERS ARE OUT THERE, REASON TO BELIEVE ALL 41 OF US SURVIVED. BE WARY OF THE NINE LEFT BEHIND ON SHIP. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO BE DRIVEN BY A SINISTER MOTIVATION. KEEP BOMB AWAY FROM THEM AND RED CHILD AT ALL COSTS. AT ALL COSTS. ALTHOUGH, WE CAN ALL WIN THIS TOGETHER. DO NOT LET SINISTER OR SELFISH MOTIVATION DRIVE YOU. IT SEEMS POWER IS ON LEVEL D. ACTIVATING IT SHOULD BE ALL OF OUR FIRST PRIORITY. IT BENEFITS ALL OF US. STAY SAFE.

Phase 6:
You transmit your message to the GMC console.
