Good Cause Simulator: BARiTONES (saturday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[syckophant]

Well, if we're in a pincer and likely to die, we should at least take out as many others as we can.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Very well. How would you go about it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

But of course. Though we might try to survive. Do we need to even stay in this galaxy after our strike?

Re: DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

[ the NOW WARM ABSINTHE is observing their lot with a thoughtful expression. ]

That worked much better than even I had anticipated!

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyfingers]

You look less shitty now!

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

It goes without saying that we should use our new found abilities. Readiness, prosperity and sustainability one each? We don't need population, and it is best we weed out anyone with ideas of changing the leadership. We do have a spy master in our midst after all.

[He looks at that FiN / Lilis combo and grimaces.]

Well perhaps we will not hit them, but BARiTONES always comes first.

And who are these pirates?

Re: DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

Well, our station is falling apart, it seems. Perhaps we could take their ship?

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

After a certain group made the decision to fight The Others with the Phage, derelict Others ships have been full of horrible space mutants, which now spread rapidly across the galaxy. They've reached your sector, and if the outbreak is not stopped they will consume all life here.

The war has died down, but this - is pretty bad. What do you do?

Re: EVENT 1

[firstworldproblem]

Our goal is to flee. That sucks, but we're leaving the sector. Buh-bye.

Re: EVENT 1

[idolpro]

Okay bye!

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

It seems your crimes are about to be found out...several members of your species have gotten very uncomfortable and unhappy, and they may or may not be planning to have you executed. The government might even be planning to disappear you and do it themselves…!

Re: EVENT 2

[firstworldproblem]

If they are in our ranks, we will attempt to find and execute them.

Re: EVENT 2

[idolpro]

You just execute everyone who's mad. That's a lot of people.

-30 population!

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

Wait, the government is zombies now.

Has anyone told you you're all really bad at anarchy?

Uh

Well, you're steal dealing with like, everyone wanting to have you executed. It turns out most people do not like revolution when it is carried out by bioterrorists with deadly infectious space mutants.

Re: EVENT 3

[firstworldproblem]

Waving as we leave. You can have this sector.

EVENT 4

[idolpro]

As a result of your lack of maintenance, your station has ended up in a state of disrepair. It should be no surprise that when gravity season begins, the stress to the paneling causes the station to slowly start to come apart.

Re: EVENT 4

[firstworldproblem]

Assuming since we are leaving we don't need the station. If we do need it, we'll fix it with readiness.

EVENT 5

[idolpro]

Pirates have taken over your station! They demand 5 prosperity points from you—if you don't pay up, you'll get shot.

Re: EVENT 5

[firstworldproblem]

Give the prates 5 prosperity points, then pat the baby pirates on the head and say 'good job!'
