Night

“Since when did you guys get here?” Evelina called out with a concerned tone, as she and Jaxx walked into the Refectory, and got themselves a hoagie each. “We’ve been searching the decks to find our way back for positively ages!”
“We only just got here!” Yasmin pointed out, taking another mouthful of her sushi. She’d only just recently remembered she was a vegetarian. She nodded to [redacted] and company. “So did they.”
Everyone sat down gruffly, and, after about half an hour, the argument started…

Escorted by one of her Medium Elimination Device’s, Cass strode into the refectory to be greeted by the cretins bickering, bad temperedly, amongst themselves
“Hey!” she shouted, only to be ignored by the drunken and argumentative crew
Scowling, she pulled her terminal out and tapped at the screen a few times, prompting the MED to step into the room and fire a rapid burst of plasma into the ceiling, the howl of its weapons silencing everyone immediately
“Right” Cass snapped as she stepped into the room “I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to hear that we managed to stabilise Jay and that, while he remains in a coma, he doesn’t appear to be deteriorating any further”
She paused to scan the faces of the assembled crew
“Needless to say, we lack the facilities on board here to engineer a cure for anything as sophisticated as a nanophage virus - so we need to find somewhere that might have those facilities; and for that we need a drive room so we have access to the long range scanners and more accurate scientific instruments”
“Pancakes imbecilic actions have cost us the last of our resources, so as of tomorrow we are on a resource mining mission” Cass continued “There’s a gas giant about six AU from here with a ring system, which we can mine for resources and fuel; after that we rebuild the drive room and start looking for somewhere we can find a cure for Jay”
“Do what you want tonight” she sighed tiredly “We arrive at the giant and start work around midday tomorrow”

<tag>What’s everyone find to do for an evening </tag>


<ooc>
Okay – we’ve had a pretty crazy day here, so now it’s moderator time

Here’s an attempt at rationalising the sequence of events:
Everyone apart from Seymour and Yasmin was trapped in the hangar by Justin
Jay collapsed into a coma and is currently in need of urgent medical attention
This is not changing in a hurry, so Joe / Yasmin, please ask before you start making changes like bringing him back into play like you did in the refectory – especially when Amy / Jade posted and mentioned that both Andy and I had asked her to make that post with Jay collapsing
Additionally, you’ve moved the plot on by hours and have posted four times today barely giving anyone else the chance to catch up or to do anything at a pretty critical juncture when everyone should be allowed the chance to have their say – Your enthusiasm is great, but please ease back on the wall of posts and let others have a shot at the fun as well
After everyone got out of the hangar Phil went off to the holosuite, got zapped and had his encounter with Queeg
Everyone else either went to the infirmary or to help scavange parts
Hours later once Jay was stabilised the above post occurs
Jay is categorically NOT with us


Now, you've all got an evening (game time) to clear up and do whatever you want then we're on to the next thing

And for the love of god please no more unauthorised random competing plot lines - there are too many of us now to just toss these out on a whim, so if you've any ideas for a plot please get it authorised by one of the mods first

thank you for your attention
have a good evening
