By my calculations, I am approximately 8,000 years older than the youngest of you lot, so my math major/physics major anecdote involves my son, who graduated with both of those degree two years ago. This makes him seem faintly alien to me, as I never met a humanities course I wouldn't take and math has always felt like something devised by a force that specifically wanted to make sure I would suck at it.

I think Spinach is the youngest in the crew, coincidentally.

See, I love history, but it's a rabbit hole that I've never felt confident keeping track of.

Though! One of my favorite papers I ever wrote (the night before *cough cough*) was a reflection on how the Protestant Reformation was foreshadowed in changing art styles.

Ha. Hardly. I still do everything at the last minute, no matter how much I bark at my students to start assignments early.

Four hands

If knitting doesn't work, Marbo could wash dishes...

See? There are always options.

Hope you are feeling better, Spinach.

For now. My fever has been going up and down all the time but right now it's gone.
Mar 23, 2019 8:13 am
Oh, fever is the worst. Hope it's gone for good.

So I'm at the animal hospital again and I thought I'd get a discussion started about who should be on the pirate ship and who should be on the "captured" Potential. I'd start with a proposal, but my brain is mush.
Mar 23, 2019 7:12 pm
Okay, need a distraction from the household crisis expanding around me like a hurricane slowly upgrading. Help me figure this out, folks.

If we're putting up the facade of the pirate ship "towing" Potential, who should be on the pirate ship? Should Cass be on the pirate ship or stay on the Potential? I can see arguments for both given that we have only four PCs and one is a doctor confined to sickbay and the other is the engineer, is there any reason to think that either of them should be anywhere other than the Potential for this escapade?

Help me out here. The cat-and-roommate-health-crisis is taking a serious toll on my cognitive resources.

I wanted to let everyone else speak up about this before I say anything but if you need some distraction now, I'll give my opinion:
You're probably going to lead communications to the kidnappers from the priate ship, not the Potential, so whoever will lead the negotiations/communication (Cass?) should probably be there. Marbo would at this point still be expected to be in sickbay (but could possibly help in a case of emergency), so he would most likely stay on the Potential. ForMoira, Kendall and Darcy I don't know what would make the most sense

Thank you so much. That helps. I agree with your analysis.

So I'd like to hear from Hero, Lav, and Robb on how they see what their characters would be doing. I'm going to take a guess that Hero will want Kendall on the pirate ship, but I won't actually speak for any other player.

Here's another question - did Marbo tell anyone that the parasite kept demanding that he take him to "Captain Tulak?" I'm not sure if that is significant or not, but does anyone else on the ship know what the parasite said to Marbo in the airlock?
Mar 23, 2019 7:39 pm
It's possible the security guard that blew the airlock would have heard it. If Marbo doesn't tell anyone, you might hear it from him if you question him about what happened during the operation
Mar 23, 2019 7:43 pm
Okay, maybe I'll do that. I'd also like Cass to talk to Darcy about her injuries and delaying treatment for them, if you're so inclined?
Mar 23, 2019 7:45 pm
No problem. Do you want to wait for the meeting to finish and then do it or how do you want to do it?
