Sorry if I missed anything in the flavour, and I will surely read again, but how do we know 100% that these people will actually die. Any other theories or possibilities?

This was my thinking as well. I believe we're being tested by the gods, but just in case we should pick and choose who should go/stay. There's no way we should let 9 people die, perhaps Lindberg and Watts missed something? It wouldn't be the first time.

Aippaq, we do not know for sure. But I have seen it in my visions. An endless black. Nothing. A loss of breath. The red eye. And then I wake up. Time and time again. Always ending with the eye.

Are you spiritual by any chance or do you follow a religion? Did anything else happen besides what you described?

Perhaps we need to think differently about this?

I can not believe that 9 of us are gonna die, left behind perhaps, but not die. There are two things we have to consider. If those we leave behind stands a chance, perhaps we could leave behind those most suited to survive such a scenario? If they die no matter what, it's not gonna be fun for those we put on the bottom. This is something we can think about at least going forward.

Watts and Lindberg should go down with their ships though, gods forgive me, but if we leave anyone behind they need all the help they can get. This is a mission, but we're still human.

I had the exact sort of thought earlier as well, mister Matthieu. There are many possibilities.

Those we leave behind are gonna have to take a risk no matter what. What we might hope will happen, might not be what actually happens.

Perhaps there's a mechanism close to our shuttle that can help those we leave behind? If so, those who dress up should be technicians and engineers. If there's a way, they'll find it.

Lieutenant Lindberg and Captain Watts does not seem like the most competent leaders so I'm sure they missed something vital.

I do agree with you though about putting those who do not contribute as much near the bottom, just in case the worst thing happens. It makes sense, in a twisted darwinian kind of way.

Gods have mercy on our souls.

Although, we should still discuss alternative options and not make a hasty judgement,

Well, the upside to this madness is that we have many hours to discuss amongst ourselves what to do. We're on the right track at least.

May fate favour us all, in life or death.

Where are we again?

Kansas.

A few select individuals seems to be missing completely, if not all of them shows up before the 48 hour deadline is up then this hard decision might be a little bit easier.

I'm currently looking at those with a low post count coupled with very little content and those who have not shown up as candidates to stay behind. I still hold faith that those we leave behind will survive regardless, but since the signs are hard to read I cannot be certain. I would place anyone who is being detrimental to our cause slightly above them.

Kip for example has a low post count, but much to give and lot of content so he won't land low on my list. Cassie is hot headed and argumentative at times, but I have faith in the gods that she'll prove dedicated to the cause. I have high hopes for Cronkite and the baby, but if they don't show they put their fates at risk.

Welcome Lionel, I feel your insight is important so I thank the gods that you are here now. Fate seemed to have put you in an awkward spot.

Some really good points made these last couple of minutes.

This is a really good point made by Mr Gainz:

Frederic

I do not believe we should worry of the consequences of leaving 9 individuals without oxygen. Even if they are angry, a majority of the individuals we are condemning are useless yah and if they have a sort of vengeance then they will still have to gain some sort of usefullness to come after us. Maybe this life-threatening situation will allow them to make gainz yah?

I was suggesting they might take it personally and decide to punish the rest of us. Im thinking this is either a test created to divide us or a mechanism designed to weed out the ones who are less interested in finding out what happened.

I would not think the gods would try to divide us, unless a far more sinister force is at play here, but I sincerely doubt that. Either way, I agree with you that it seems like the gods are putting us through some sort of test.

Katherine "Percy" Percival @ 26/4/2015 21:23 I mean I have personally already decided who is going to be on the bottom of my list. I want the best team possible. If anything who I put one and two are more important cause those will who I want to possibly lead me. I know who has spoken. The ones that have not are an easy boot. So sorry if I don't discuss the booting process. I do not mind talking about who we want to lead. With a 48 hour window in which to make these decisions, why are we making these decisions in 4 hours based upon people who have not spoken up in the first 4 hours.

I too was concerned with the level of speed in the beginning to make a decision on what to do. In my mind, we shouldn't make a final decision until there is no time left.

I still hold hope that whoever we leave behind will make it out alive somehow, those of us who do get suits must do as much as we can to figure out a way to save the people we leave behind. Since the signs are unclear, we should prepare for the worst just in case. The list we make should be interchangeable until the end.

We will need the best crew possible to find out what has happened aboard the Dalia. Right now, we've gotten off topic. The topic of discussion is supposed to be who is going to be beneficial to the said mission. I'm making myself useful over here building gadgets that we can use on board. What are the rest of you doing?

I agree. Captain O'Hara said he was a skilled cartogropher, that will certainly come in handy.

You make an interesting observation, sir. Perhaps it is logical to leave those who speak less behind since they operate on less oxygen? Perhaps this is something build into them they need to survive such a crisis?

Good observation, the issue concerning the gun had escaped me completely. The people we have nominated for election has more or less been people who seems to be the most trustworthy but it's a good thing to consider that we're handing out a license to kill to someone we trust, and not a leadership mantle to someone who is supposed be our leader. The two usually goes hand in hand, and we should make sure that they do before we decide on a leadership vote, at least based we should vote based on trust. As many has pointed out, true leaders will grow into the role.

Are you perhaps providing useful sentences for Eliza?
