Werepenguins vs NASA XIV: Flatty McFlatface
« on: April 15, 2019, 08:10:43 AM »
Launch day is here. The FESS Flatty McFlatface is sealed up tight, and everyone is on board. Countdown…
Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five.

“Pfft. There’s no way that’s ever going to fly,” says one of the observers, a Round Earther brought to witness the triumph of FE Science and hopefully be convinced. There are those that know him as Rabinoz. “No aerodynamic shape at all.”
“No, no,” says one of the scientists. “It doesn’t need aerodynamics, it relies on the effect of laevorotatory subq-”
“They’re not real!” insists Rabinoz.

Four. Three. Two…

“Get away from there!” the scientist suddenly shouts. Rabinoz rolls his eyes.
“Why?” he said, nearing the ship. “It’s not going to do anything. It’s obvious-”

One. Lift-off!

With a tremendous wave of propulsive force, the FESS Flatty McFlatface takes off into the sky. Beneath it, flattened by a counter-force that pushed downwards, lays a crushed Rabinoz. One can only hope he saw the light in his final moments.
He was the first casualty of this journey. He will not be the last, because seconds later and the FESS Flatty McFlatface’s alarm systems start blaring.
Two NASA agents have been detected. Two werepenguins are aboard. Danger! Danger!
And there is no way out…

Your New Home

The blueprints of the FESS Flatty McFlatface are available. You may find items of interest if you choose to linger in certain rooms.

The Jumped-up Automatic Neural Electronic brain, or JANE system will be your only other company on this journey. A cutting edge AI, it monitors each area of the ship at all times. Questions and requests will be answered when it can spare the processing power.



Rules and roles are at:
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=80667.msg2164606#msg2164606

Minimission is at:
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=80742.msg2165809#msg2165809

The two NASA agents are Sirius and Vega. One is an Elite with two rolesthe other has just one role.
The two penguins are Private and Kowalski. One is an Emperor Penguin with two roles, the other has just one role.
Sirius and Private go first.

Crew Manifest
NSS - wrong end of a gun
Boydster - the last survivor
Crouton - died for what he believed in
CFC - faced sky justice
Bullwinkle
Junker - Both eater and eaten
Stash - planked, victorious wildcard
Space Cowgirl - killed by a psycho NASA
Son of Orospu - the downsides of going to the gym
DuckDodgers - Penguin, went after the wrong person
Colonel Gaydafi - Emperor Penguin, should've done the minigame properly
Jura-Glenlivet - NASA agent, aroused the wrath of a vigilante

Day One
-

Day Two
Boydster votes to lynch CFC
Duck votes to lynch CFC
Stash votes to lynch CFC
CFC votes to lynch Duck
Junker votes to lynch Duck
Jura votes to lynch Duck
Crouton votes to lynch CFC
NSS votes to lynch CFC

CFC, a villager, is lynched.
Son of Orospu is killed by NASA

Day Three
Boydster votes to lynch Gayer
SCG votes to lynch Gayer
Gayer votes to lynch Boydster
Jura votes to lynch Gayer
Duck votes to lynch Gayer
NSS votes to lynch Gayer

Gayer, the Emperor Penguin, is lynched.
Junker and Crouton are eaten, but Junker takes down Duck, the other penguin.

Day Four
Boydster votes to lynch Stash
Stash votes to lynch Boydster
SCG votes to lynch Stash
NSS votes to lynch Stash
Jura votes to lynch Stash

Stash, a villager, is lynched. Jura, NASA agent Vega, is taken out by a vigilante.

Beep boop. JANE system activating.

Where is the bar, and why are there only four beds, what sort of a sick ship do you run Jane?
The map isn't entirely to scale. There are more than four beds, but only four appear on the blueprint because laziness. There is unfortunately no exclusive bar, but there is plenty of alcohol available in the larder.

There doesn't seem to be a toilet. Are we meant to pee into the sky?
Yes.

Is the ?? area accessible?

I think all role PMs have been sent out. If you didn't get one, let me know!

There are no lovers, but there are two particularly dangerous evils out there. I think that's everything. It is currently day. Night begins 24 hours from now at the same time as the first post.

I will further analyse this strange ?? room.

Daniel’s Secret Room
It isn’t long before an oddity on the blueprints is observed. There is a small space in the corner of the ship that appears locked, unexplained by the blueprint. Some digging around reveals a hidden machine behind a portrait of Samuel Shenton.
Is it…
Yes! It must be! Daniel’s private study!

An invitation had been extended to the reclusive Daniel, and for a time it had seemed like he would emerge from hiding to attend this marvellous voyage. But no, he chose instead to remain on his yacht, but not before a room designed expressly for him was built.
There is only one door, concealed behind the portrait, and it in turn is sealed behind a combination lock. There are four fields that must have a code typed in before the door will unlock.

But be careful!
The lock is programmed to only accept three attempts per 24 hours. That is, three attempts during the day, and three more during the night. Be sure that you are confident in what you have to add.
The lock cannot tell you which answers are correct or which are false, only if all four entered unlock the door will you know.
However the security system, tied into JANE, may provide hints the more desperate things become.
All you know is that they are connected to the FES. 

Evil teams may each try to sneak in one attempt to solve secretly by PM in a day-night period, and the villagers will become aware that an attempt has ticked by. However villagers will become more watchful, and so each team will only have one chance to PM in secret per 48 real-time hours so they cannot just exhaust the villagers’ attempts.
While both penguins are alive however, they can use their natural stealth and cunning to gain a second attempt per day-night period. While both NASA agents are alive, they can hack the security system with their technical expertise to determine if any answer previously input was accurate, getting to ask after one attempted answer per day or night (so, two per day-night block).

What are the passwords? What order must they be entered in?
To begin with all you can do is blindly search the Flatty McFlatface, hope to find some notes, some scraps that the workmen left behind so that they could remember how to get in. Pray that it is enough.
For within Daniel’s private study is such luxury. Caviar aplenty, keys to a yacht when you return to Earth. And, of course, a blunderbuss loaded with a single bullet. The one that inputs the correct code will be able to keep it, and save it for if they ever wish to take a single shot at someone, with no consequences. Pray that it is a villager that gains this gift.
Or you might just want to steal Daniel’s stuff. Up to you.

First, search the rooms and hallways for what notes the workers left behind. More may be rattled free as time goes by and the FESS Flatty McFlatface ascends, so don’t be afraid to go back to searching. There may be more than one in each room. When you think you’ve found enough to start working on solutions, remember the limit as to how often answers may be entered, and good luck. Make it explicit that you’re entering passwords, not just asking for opinions.

Discovered Clues
'The first uttered double digits. Wonder if he remembers.'
'The first to transform, in alphabetical order. Hope we don’t get any beasties like that on this voyage. Now I’ve got the shivers.'
'Wasn’t this something about a Greek Rowbotham?'
'What comes after one?'
'The answer with four words comes last, unless another answer has two words, in which case it comes first.'
An answer containing an x precedes an answer with four letters.' 
'An answer that starts with p comes immediately after an answer that starts with d.'

Hints to the clues
What do the following have in common? Fish. Sheep. Third(noun). Glasses.
Duplicitous is acceptable, while cats are not. Mechanism is surprisingly not acceptable, but surroundings are. Arachnophobia is also acceptable, but stew is not.
The third to do something come after the second to do something, who come after the first to do something.

You find a scrap of paper that says 'The first uttered double digits. Wonder if he remembers.'

I'm walk into the larder, look around, grab a bottle of bourbon and start drinking. What else do I see?
There is a bemused pigeon watching you from the top of a fridge. Luring it down, you find it has unearthed a note from somewhere. 'The answer with four words comes last, unless another answer has two words, in which case it comes first.'

I'm checking under the mattresses in the dorm.
You move quietly so as not to wake up the other people who aren't awake and haven't announced their presence yet. You find two diaries, plans for a cold fusion generator, but most interestingly another note from the workmen that reads 'The first to transform, in alphabetical order. Hope we don’t get any beasties like that on this voyage. Now I’ve got the shivers.'
