The Thing Day 5
 

Blair sits in solitude, typing code into his computer. The events of that day wore heavily on his spirit but his disgruntled demeanor failed to show convey such heartbreak and fear.

Bennings, Clark, and the Doc were all dead. These were his friends. People he trusted. Now he could trust nobody.

His program is complete. He now uploads it.


Elsewhere Childs and MacReady storm through one of the base’s many hallways.

“Where are you taking me?”, MacReady asks.

“Alien hunting”

“What?”

“Those things rip through your clothes first, right?”

“Yeah”

“Well I found pajamas with Palmer’s name on them, tore up, bloody, and in the incinerator”






“We need to do this as a group”, MacReady argues.

“Yeah, and how many of the group are one of those things?”

“How do I know, you’re not one of them”

“Because an alien wouldn’t do what I’m about to do”



Blair’s computer screen lights up and little cells blip and beep around the screen. Several blue cells and one red cell. The blue cells represent dog cells. The red cell begins to take over and assimilate the blue cells. Then the red cell become a blue cell, carrying about its business until it takes over more blue cells.




Blair looked dismayed but he knew exactly what to do.




Childs and MacReady enters Palmer’s room. Childs is armed with a flamethrower while MacReady holds a fire extinguisher.


“What’s going on guys?”, asks Palmer.

Childs answers.

“We know you’re one of those things. What we want to know, is who else have you infected?”

“Man…what are you talking about? Childs, you know me. We’re best friends, man. What are you doing?”

Childs reveals the tattered pajamas.

Rather than protest, Palmer begins to convulse, and his side splits open into a mouth. Complete with a set of razor sharp teeth.



Blair is swinging an axe into all the nearby computer terminals.

“You bastards think I don’t know what’s going on!? I KNOW what’s going on. You’re not going to pull a fast on me!”

Several of the crew members come to see what the commotion is about.

“Blair!? What are you doing?”, shouts Fuchs.

Blair spins around and fires a revolver shot at the crew. The crew take cover immediately.

“Don’t you get it!? We all have to die! We can’t leave anybody alive!”

Blair fires a few more shots.



Childs lets loose with the flamethrower, burning Palmer to a crisp.

“We need to bury the dead aliens”, says MacReady, “I have a feeling I know how they work”



In the computer room, Blair is still raving like a lunatic.

Nauls and Norris pick up a nearby plank of wood, and rush into the room, directly towards Blair. Blair fires a shot at the wooden plank but he fails to harm anybody.

They hit Blair with the plank of wood hard, causing Blair to fall backwards, smashing his head on a computer terminal. A pool of blood grows around his head. He had failed.

Damnit

The friggin aliens continue to grow.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Sons of bitches. This isn't over!

Edit: Yes BAB, I'm brief and to the point, you human scumbag! The aliens will still reign supreme. You have my word!

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

That's all gonna write for your going away speech.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Damn it.



I suck at having hunches

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Indeed, I told you not to do it. :P

We are getting pwned.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Bad hunches...

Or alien domination...:confused:

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Oh well, this is the end for me. I have my own story written, but I don't have it here, I'll post it after the game has ended.

In a way, I feel good about it. I did enough damage to the aliens. The good guys who voted me out will probably miss me. Just too bad for those who were with me. :)

Good luck guys.

Re: The Thing Day 5

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

I !vote BreakABone

Sorry man, I just find it highly unlikely that the aliens didn't go for you when they realized you were the guardian.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

I don't know how to respond to that.

Other than maybe Angrist post was such a short time from when the voting ended that many missed it.

Did you see it before voting?

As for me, I know Angrist was genius enough to make me a marked man.

So I'm happy the idiot is gone.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................



my powers of power tell me that i have the power to eliminate a powerful alien with the help of the power of my powerful humans......


! vote for BaB

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Angrist did mention he posted in the last half hour so that the aliens couldn't infect him. Doesn't that mean they didn't know BAB was the guardian then either to be able to infect this round unless by chance? Might be alien next round, but unless I'm not understanding the mechanics of infecting he's still a human this round. Then again he does have that Mario Galaxy avatar and sig...could be an alien goomba in penguin form...

...no cheese those. The aliens smell of cheddar.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

That is true, I suppose, but I have other reasons to believe that he may be infected. I'm very confident he -wasn't- infected two days ago, but after that it became very hazy. I was sitting here clicking 'refresh' during the final moments of the last day, and BaB originally voted for angrist and then edited his post to say Germy.

I'm considering the possibility that he knew the vigilante was going to kill Germy anyway, so he changed his vote to seem innocent.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

vigiante : 2 for 3



pretty good job bud, just dont screw it up any again





:p *love*

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Going to be perfectly honest with you.

I originally voted from Angrist yes.
Because I wanted him gone for revealing my information.
Because as you see makes me a marked man on both sides.

However, I changed it to Germy because also believed Germy was an alien.
And I knew that changing the vote would tie it up between Germy and Angrist.
And deep down inside hoped that mathematical chance would eliminate Angrist.
Yes, petty but I'm a simple man. What can I say.

Believe it or not but the truth.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Just in case I don't wake up in time tomorrow to vote, I'm going to go with my first instinct as vote BaB a.k.a Penguin, a.k.a. blood sucking alien!!

I !vote BreakaBone

Re: The Thing Day 5

Re: The Thing Day 5

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Sorry Earl, I'm being bribed:

!Vote BaB

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Well can't say didn't expect this.

Anyhow, hope the aliens have fun with this one.

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Well last 30 mins.. time to make my heart felt speech

Ok now that we have less than 30 minutes, I dó have something to add.

I am the Seer. Every round I can inspect somebody, revealing his name, if he has powers and if he's been infected.

In the first round I inspected Bond, who had just been infected. We killed him off in the next round. That round I inspected BaB, who is the Guardian (sorry for revealing BaB, but I don't trust you anymore). The next round we killed off Professor S, and my suspicion was as good as yours.
That round I inspected Germanator. He is "assistant mechanic Palmer", has no special powers, but is infected. That's why I'm voting for him.

On the topic of BreakABone: we were allies for 2 rounds, he trusted me. This round, he has been acting weird and I seriously think he's been infected, although I have no proof.
The thing is: if I die, he gets my power. Or so he told me. He'll be able to protect ánd inspect people. Not the kind of thing you want on the alien side.

So there it is. If you kill me now, you'll have a much harder time winning the game. I have néver (in the end) voted for somebody that wasn't infected, I've always been right.
I ask your trust for one more round. Do so and you will see that Germanator is infected.
(Since it's in the last 30 minutes, the aliens hopefully can't chagne their target, so if I survive, I'll probably be still human in the next round.)

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

I'm confused...

Re: The Thing Day 5
 

Well there is no way gonna change anyone's mind.

So won't even bother.

So figured to be an ass.

Would post Angrist's rally the troops speech from yesterday.
