Description:
Large bridge room. Looks out onto a viewport in which Jupiter is visible. There's a sinister red child moving the stars around outside. Controls and panels are functioning albeit in emergency power.

Exits:
North (West)
North (East)

Players (9):
Clifford
Elliot
Izza
Jeong
Lindberg
Misty
Paige
Portia
Veleriya

A new group win condition has been unlocked! This condition is valid to win for every member in this current group!

Objective:
Locate the bomb on board Dalia and bring it back up to the bridge.

We're alive! I knew my journey was not done yet. Unfortunate circumstances, Izza.

What's our next move?
--
This can't be happening. They just left me there?

Whatever, I'm just glad we're all alive.
--
I'm thinking North (East). Anyone wanna contribute?
--
Is splitting up a bad idea?
--
No, these people will die fast. We need to stick together as long as possible.
--
I'll do whatever the majority wants. North (East) sounds good to me but I don't care either way. We have 24 hours, someone is bound to show up before then and contribute.
--
What do you think the red child wants the bomb? It can't be good, but I don't blame you all if you want to do it. If I was you, I'd want them all dead too.
--
I knew death would consume us


We must band together to stay safe. Strength in numbers
--
We should probably decide now if we want to play for the Red Child or wait for another opportunity to fall into our laps.
--
im glad we all survived, but im worried about this creature. we know nothing about it. can we trust it? i think we have to trust that there is a bomb and go look for it. if there isn't really a bomb then there is no negative outcome, but if there really is a bomb and we do nothing then we could all die. that said i think we should see if we can defuse the bomb safely if we find it, i dont want to hand it over to that creature in an active state until we know what it wants if for.

if we split up we can cover more ground and increase the odds of finding the bomb. that said were already a very small group and if we split up further we could come across something that we cant complete with a smaller number of people. for now i think its best to stay together. as far as i can tell there is no particular difference between the 2 doors, so i have no objection to taking the North (East) exit.
--
The problem with assuming the bomb is time sensitive is that it means the other group(s?) are at risk too. It's most likely in an armoury, not planted and ready to go off.
--
can we afford to take the chance that the bomb wont go off?
--
That's a possibility but don't feel like we have to rush and split off to find it. Splitting up means we'll all die that much faster.
--
(ooc: this is a game ending event, it's not going to happen in fifteen phases even if it is time sensitive. I'm willing to bet this bomb is why there's a hard limit of 100 phases.)
--
a fair point. i think its clear we should go looking for the bomb, after all we dont currently have anything else to do. hopefully we will find more information during the search that gives us a better idea what to do with it if we find it. at the moment i think we should leave our options open as far as what to do with it if we find it.
--
Glad to see we're all still here. We may not be the most talkative bunch, but we're graced with a talkative member in Izza. Perhaps there will be less fighting in this group than in a larger-sized group? I think we could be effecitve in decision-making at a size of 9.

I am fine with Northeast, if that's what the group wants. Kind of arbitrary at this point.

I think we should stick together. Right now, we have a pretty small group, and we don't know what hardships lie ahead. We were already faced with killing off a group exactly our size, so I think that death may also lie ahead. There is something to be said about safety in numbers.

As for going for the bomb, I want to do it. If the bomb is going to go off, then the others will die. If we bring the bomb to the child, and he kills the others with it, they will do. If we get to the bomb and it's not going to go off, we can make a decision then. However, 32 people were okay with us dying, and this 1 child has given us protection. I'd rather help him. And like Lindberg said, hopefully we'll learn more along the way.
--
Sorry for proposing the split! haha

I'm 100% in favor of the bomb-search though. Like Lindberg said, no harm there
--
No need to apologize! All contributions are welcome. Everyone should feel free to speak, which is ironic, since a lack of speaking landed us together.
--
They left all my booze on the ship Verysad

Find the bomb and blow the other fuckers up!

Misty begins rocking herself side to side, a big smile on her face while she thinks of blowing up the 32 others that left the group behind.
--
about 8 hours left to make choices and 9 before we move on. so far we have a solid response rate, hopefully Elliot and Page show up soon.
--
Do you guys wanna come up with an excuse now if one of us happens on the other group on our own and they already know where the bomb is? I don't disagree with saying something like "they wanted to take a bomb to this demon kid in the airlock but i have a personal win condition to sacrifice myself on the bridge so give it to me and I'll take care of it"
--
I'm fine sticking together. At first I thought it was best to cover more ground by sticking together, but not knowing what's beyond the doors yet that could be very dangerous.

And Misty if you need a hug I'm right here.
--
This makes sense but the other group left us behind already, do you think they'll return anytime soon?
--
Consider me disappointed, you didn't think of me. I'm here to do whatever I can to help.
--
Yeah but there will be opportunities where one or several of us get stuck on our own and may find them. I'm just thinking that if it happens we can try something.
--
Agreed Izza:

We could also, just let them know that 'whoever' picked up an ability to disarm a bomb in another room and ask them if they have seen or heard of a bomb that could be disarmed.
--
Go with the flow.
--
Stabby stab stab.
--
I guess we know what Misty wants to do if the other group gets in her way.
--
In other news we have a global win condition too. But I'm thinking our group win condition might be more viable at the moment.

If our numbers dwindle too low and we don't find the bomb fast enough we can figure out what to do then.
--
why would the other group give any of us the bomb if we tell them we have a personal win condition? now if we told them that by going to the bridge they would unlock a new team win condition that might be different. it would be a more subtle way to get them to bring the bomb to the bridge.

if any of us can get the others to bring them and the bomb to the bridge then that player fulfills there win condition.
--
I agree Lindberg, that's why I mentioned disarming a bomb, which could lead them to believe they need to help to save themselves.
--
Neither of you can read the rules. They would not unlock a new win condition and there ARE win conditions here that don't end the game.
--
Tell no one of bomb and make it go BOOM!
--
I'm not ready for fireworks.
--
BOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!
