Find the Founders VIII

[Tsukiyumi]

Well, if you guys find any mushrooms, we can grill those.

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, that might be good, as long as they aren't poisoness.

[Mark]

Mark, we scanned the planet before the ship was even burning, with an intensive scan, there are no lifeforms on this planet.

Yeah, because sensors are NEVER, EVER wrong, are they?

[Nickswitz]

Oh shut up Mark, we're not gonna die, not by anything native to this planet at least.

[Mark]

So says the optimist to the pessimist.

Your a glass in half full kind of guy, aren't you?

[Nickswitz]

No, my glass is completely full always, half has water, the other air, so we can't go wrong. If one of us dies, it could be the founder, or it's one step closer to knowing who the founder is, on less suspect. SO yeah, that's my view on all of this.

[Mark]

And THAT boys and girls is why I went into engineering rather than being a counsler.

:::shakes head in confusion:::

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, the glass never empties, it's just filled with different things.

SO, yeah, shall we set up our security details. First shift is Rochey and I, anyone else wanna volunteer?

[Mark]

Can I just volunteer to guard my quote, unquote bunk?

[Nickswitz]

OK, we did decide to do shifts, but I guess, whatever works for you guys, we can do random shifts.

[Lt. Staplic]

my point with liquification is if we all stay up tonight eventually one of the founders will have to liquify, when they do we've got them....

and no Nick, we need a systematic guard, I'll voulenteer to go second.

(sorry for the late post guys)

*Deepcrush shakes his head at the fools slap sticking around him*

2 man watch is the dumbest thing ever. One founder could take the other man out. Then they are free to attack whoever they want whenever they want. If you have ten persons then you should have a five man watch split into two groups. That way each group watches over its self and the other group. The founders will be outnumbered no matter what.

Next up for food. Rations from the pods will last us for some time. That buys us time to search for local wild life. Cooking the wildlife over a nice fire tends to cure it anough for eating.

As for finding out who the founders are. Each group should come up with a testing method. Then both groups share the method and then use both methods as a way to test for founders.

Any questions on that?

NIGHT!!!

Ok, now no posting. I only allowed this because Deep is new and he was unable to get on before I had originally nighted.

The hours drift by as the survivors of the Hundenburg discussed what to do. Finally, after a majority vote, it was decided that there would be a three man watch. It was also agreed that the rations would be sufficient for one night.

After the his watch ended, Tsu was exhausted and thirsty. The final watch was just beginning, and Tsu decided he needed a drink before he slept.
"I'm gonna get some water from the rations." he said to Lazar.
Lazar nodded and watched as Tsu headed towards the wrecked pods outside the cave. One of the Founders took this opportunity to slither out after him.

Tsu rumaged through the rations. Finding the water in the dark was proving difficult, especially because of there being no moon. Finally, Tsu found a canteen and took a small gulp of the water.
"Ugk, that tasted like s***!" Tsu exclaimed.
Recaping the canteen and placing it in the pod, Tsu began to head back to the cave. After going just two feet, Tsu stopped and clutched his chest. It felt like acid was creeping through his heart. He couldn't breath. It was like something had grabbed him by the throat. Seconds later, a sharp blade thrust out of his chest, splitting his ribcage in half. The Founder flew out, dragging his heart and lungs with it. Tsu collapsed, dead, not having made a sound. The Founder quickly reformed and slithered back to the caves. Taking his place, and checking to see that no one had noticed, the Founder went to sleep.

After ten minutes, Lazar was getting a bit antzy. He looked to the two other watchmen.
"I'm gonna go check on him. He shouldn't be taking this long."
Lazar took off at a smooth pace. It didn't take long for him to find Tsu's body, with an outward crater in his chest. Lazar screemed. One of the watch ran after him while the other woke everyone up. Then they followed. After a few seconds, everyone saw the horror that lay before them just as the sky began to be lit by the rising sun.
