Finally caught you voting without any reason...

VOTE LEFANIS

[Lefanis]

Fool, minimum of 2 votes needed for a lynch. Single vote doesn't make it double lynch.

You are never going to win that Nobel.

Dangles his own Nobel in front of ketchum's nose

NIGHT 8 EVENTS

VOTE VELAX - Lefanis #171, Ketchum #173

Lefanis and Ketchum sat down to play some cards but every card they pulled showed similar figures. They both look at each other. "I know who that is", they both said as a matter of fact. "It's time to take him down but first we've got to take away that pea-shooter of his."

Velax who had been eavesdropping from outside kicks the door to the canteen down and draws his Desert Eagle and points it at them. "You want a piece of this?" he growls. "Come get it then. Who's first? You? You? I think I'll choose." Velax points his pea-shooter at Ketchum and pulls the trigger blowing the cards from his hand and leaves him howling in pain at his bleeding hand.

Lefanis immediately tries to change his vote. "Wait, WAIT - I vote Slapsticks!" he screams.

"Why you double-crosser", screams Ketchum in reply. "I vote Lefanis!" he cries.

"No can do" Velax says grimly. "It's just you and me. Now, COME LYNCH ME!" To which Lefanis kicks the table at Velax and knocks him to the ground and at the same time drags Ketchum out of the canteen...

Ketchum the Scientist is shot.

*****

Later that night, Slapsticks, who had been lying low since the scientists had tried to lynch him, was hiding out in the loo on the second floor. He had kept mostly to himself so as not to draw attention with the occasional comment that he shouted at the remaining scientists from afar. Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice but as a scientist he should have known that not only does lightning strike the same place twice, some places are struck many many times.

There was a knock on his toilet cubicle. He opened it and had the shock of his life. "YOU? But... but this is IMPOSSIBLE. HOW?!" he stammered.

"How?" The Thing laughed. "Maybe you should have spent more time playing scientist than playing hide and seek." Then the Thing proceeded to pull out Slapsticks' entrails and darkness fell...

Slapsticks the Escape Artist / Scientist was attacked and killed.

There was a dark gloom when the remaining scientists, Velax, Ketchum, and Lefanis found Slapsticks' remains. Their bravado had all but faded away. They were all that remained and it seemed like the Horror was unstoppable. Just WHO WAS IT? They glared at one another but also all around them. They didn't understand. Someone did. It was time to find out just what the hell was going on...

[Velax]

Alright, if anyone has any information, now's the time to share it. Is anyone a Researcher?

[Lefanis]

har har har.

Game over Thing.

[Lefanis]

Lefanis enters his room, richly decorated with certificates, medals, and of course his prized Nobel. Scientific scribbling cover the walls, and his board in the corner is full of equations and chemical formulae. For all intents and purposes, he seems a normal scientist. Well, a genius.

He looks out the window to make sure no one is looking before pressing a depression in the wall and activating hologram of F, his boss, flanked by his tech manager, Q.

Q, I'm going to be needed that heavy machinery you promised. Should capture the Thing by sunset.  8)

The hologram nods curtly, and a few seconds later, an ordinary looking cigarette and a flamethrower materialise on Lefanis' bed.

Update

Outside the Research Station high overhead, a high tech military black ops chopper could be heard whirling in the midday. It didn't land, didn't drop anything but just hovered or circled like it was waiting for something.

Down in the station, the 3 scientists had some decisions to make. Were they being rescued? Was help coming? Could they escape? What about the Thing? Were they going to bring it along with them on the chopper or leaving it behind? Were they sure they knew who it was? The Thing on a chopper didn't exactly leave anyone room to run. How safe was it?

Then there was their research - for those who were doing actual real work. There were days when they were so caught up with the events or simply trying to stay alive that they might have lagged behind. Would it prove to be their doom? Did they research enough to find the truth? Even so, did they have any time left?

It was simply a showdown and the survival of the fittest would be decided in probably the next day or two. Would the ending of this story read a small group of survivors or a lone solitary hero? Or would it signal the start of the end of humankind? Would the scientists go out limply with a "meh" or could they finally work together, convince everyone, really really convince everyone else and pool their collective knowledge and resources before... something really, really bad happens? Depending on the choices made and how BADLY people wanted to stay alive, anything, simply anything... was possible.

[Velax]

Everyone left here has been IDed as a Scientist, or possibly an Agent. Not as The Thing. Is it possible The Thing is someone who was killed before? Could the first Thing have infected a dead host, not a live one?

Barek was the first killed, and he was killed in the toilets. Slapsticks was the first killed by the new Thing, and he was also killed in the toilets. Could Barek be the new Thing?

[Velax]

I VOTE BAREK.

[Ketchum]

Velax, why you keep shooting me for? This is second time you shot me >:(

VOTE VELAX for crazy shooting

[Lefanis]

Vote Velax. You shot me twice, you bastard! Die!
