[QUOTE="VoodooGroves, post: 244447, member: 5520"] I like this. This is sweet. You need a journal though, or at least a few monitors showing folks having a discussion on the subject. Some sort of record that is left by some person/group of the last folks to die. They don't know whats killing them, so they speculate. Only, they don't think its the ship. Maybe they think its some form of alien or energy beastie that came during the teleport accident. I think these folks need to stress that it isn't the pilot - the pilot is doing good even with all the added pressure and responsibilities. And then they need to panic and debate heavily what is killing them, how to best defeat it and go their separate ways. The party can later see footage of all of them dead (just their bodies, not the actual act) just to spook things more. Maybe one group thinks there is some sort of maintenance bot or other "soul mech"-ish thing that's gone haywire, ready to drop elevators or send people out airlocks. Maybe they speculate that in order to do that, he has to be within 200 meters of the elevator or airlock. Maybe that will get the party running around crazy when they see an elevator go nuts.... "Quick! It must be that crazy maintenance bot! Its got to be within 200 meters for the broadcast range on its control antenna to function! Lets find it and kill it!" Only, of course, there is no maintenance bot causing problems ... just a broken down ship and a very, very sad pilot. [/QUOTE]
