Find The Founders XII

[Mark]

We can keep this area reasonably well heated with large rocks and phasers if need be, but somebody aught to get started on that shelter. It's not just the temperature that'll kill. It's the wind chill. We need to cover from it, and while I agree with staying with the pods, they don't exactly provide very much in the way of sleeping room.

[Nickswitz]

Could we maybe set the pods close together around the fire to keep the wind from hitting it, I know we don't have much muscle between us all, but we have a fair amount.

Sonic, Very interesting, I know many like you, who end up going with computers rather than people, I am the exact opposite, haha, my dad however was just like that.

And thanks Staplic, that should last us the time were here, and hopefully we won't have to reignite the fire too often...

If we are going to move the pods into a sort of bunker, we must do so carefully. Any injury right now could be life threatening, especially with our limited medical supplies and the harsh environment.

ok, I can tell you my life story quite simply...
I enlisted in starfleet to win a bet, I never asked to be put on a ship, because I didn't want to be.
I was excellent, over time however I've become more and more cautious as to what I do, and who I do it with.
Some have even called me paranoid!
Oh yeah, I was currently assigned to working in the mess hall I've seen alot of you, I just don't remember any of you.

also I will either be in my own pod at night, or if that can't be done, I'll look for a cave or something.
I am never sleeping near any one of you, founder or not, I just won't!

[Nickswitz]

Your an interesting case... Why are you paranoid, What frightens you?

[bob]

Everything, ecxept tribbles, I had apet tribble once...
Then it ate somthing, dont remember what but it ate.

[Nickswitz]

Oh... Well, interesting... You should get some help with that, please get your own, there are special people for people like you...

[bob]

Wow someone afriad of the one who fears all...
Scary

"Didn't the Klingons make Tribbles extinct...?"

[Sonic Glitch]

I don't think it's too much to assume that some slipped through the cracks. I mean every time you turn around there's 10 more of them.

[Sionnach Glic]

Look, no one is sleeping on their own tonight. End of dicussion.

[Nickswitz]

And why not? If each and everyone of us is alone we have a better chance of survival since founders can kill however they want to from what I've heard today. They can suffocate us, or slice us straight in half... So with or without people around us we would be screwed... And then if our bunkmate is one then we're most certainly dead... As for me, I'm going to be watching the fire all night. What would an effective weapon even be against them???

[Mark]

Phasers can kill Founders. And as to the idea of going off alone......that would be suicide. Your dealing with an enemy that could become a rock, an icicle, or any number of things to sneak past you. I'm assuming you'd plan on just NOT SLEEPING AT ALL.

Bad idea.

[stitch626]

And sleeping together is just as bad of an idea. At least sleeping alone, a person would have increased awareness due to fear and would be more likely to... sense a Founder sneeking up on them. In a group, we'll feel a false sense of safety, which will end up in us dead. I can treat a lot of things, but resurections I cannot perform.
Honestly, I'm for not seeping at all, but seeing as we can't stay up on stims the entire time, sleeping alone would give us the best individual chance of survival.
Here's another way to look at it. Being silent takes time. The Founders will only have a limited amount of time to kill someone. If we are all in a group, that means they could target more than one person, silently suffocating them. If we are far appart, with a watch system to tend the fire, which even a Founder will do because they freeze also, then it will take time for them to go from where they are sleeping, get past the watch, silently kill someone, then creep back to their "sleeping" location. Sleeping alone increases our survival.
If we were worried about large woodland carnivores, sleeping in groups would be the way to go. But in this case, sleeping in groups only means we die with someone by our side, and maybe they die too.
