Star Trek: Starbase 777 - status-updates

@Event Ping Hello, my sinister sleuths ! The event is rapidly approaching, who's ready to get their stab on?

Before we begin, a small foreword, if you don't mind; This event is gonna be probably one of my most involved yet, meaning I will be in multiple different places at once, helping you all along with clues. And I'm a stubborn son of a bitch, so I'm doing it all solo, LOL. This means I may miss things on occasion! Please don't take this as a slight, if I gloss over something without responding to your message please ping me in #event-discussion (the channel will open when the event starts) and I'll get to it right away. Also, if you have any OOC questions you want answered, ping me there as well— it's easier than me having to keep one eye on the channel at all times, and I'll probably get back to you much quicker! Be sure to keep an eye on this channel, as I always keep a steady stream of updates, and your questions may be answered there as well. Remember: don't tell anyone if you signed up to be the murderer or not, it spoils the fun!!! See you soon? <3 (edited)

@Event Ping Let's begin, shall we?

In a mysterious flash, all of the officers aboard Starbase 777 have disappeared. The civilians aboard may have seen what remains in their stead, but our party was not so lucky— alone in their quarters, at their shops, who can say where they were without a single officer in sight?— but they blinked, and everyone in uniform was gone. Drawn to a mysterious path of spotlights leading them to the #events-hall , they wait in the darkness for answers...

Your scenario has been revealed! The Q has taken every officer on the station and replaced them with a copy of herself, putting them who-knows-where in the process. She promises they'll be returned safe and sound when the game is won. Your task is to explore the station (that is available to you) for clues. When you think you have an answer, bring the suspect to the #events-hall and correctly identify the cause of death. Time to find the body!! Good luck!! ❤️

remember while u explore

️ lights are off until i say otherwise

@Event Ping lights back on! slowly, so as not to flashbang anybody <3

putting these here: it'll be good to have multiple people check multiple places, since someone can always find something someone else missed. not all the npcs will be helpful to your cause, but it won't hurt to ask them questions!

#deleted-channel teehee

CASE FILE: 01010001 ### EVENT HALL : - Flyers on the corkboard. Advertisements for baking classes, cafés, and sewing groups. - A useless case file. - A (now eaten) plate of almond puff pastries. ### HOLOARCADE : - The body. - Blunt force trauma to the back of the head, perhaps by a fall. - Some irritation around the mouth and lips, identified as hives. - Phaser burn on the side, identified as too weak to be the cause of death. - Flour on her collar. - A broken phaser tag vest, with the phaser missing. - Signs of a struggle in phaser tag. ### TRIPLE 7S CASINO : - A shard of ceramic hidden in a panel under one of the casino tables, that smells faintly of (very bitter) floral tea. - A dark scrap of cloth with flour on it. ### CLUB EPSILON : - Some hints about the symptoms of poisons: https://discord.com/channels/904790578041081927/1519810842512588913/1520502427797688492 https://discord.com/channels/904790578041081927/1519810842512588913/1520519844775334050 ### SUPERNOVA BAR : - An abandoned glass with fingerprints and black lipstick. - Mentions of a mysterious person who, apparently, isn't very tall, and didn't have anything to drink. - A stool leaving scuff marks on the ground.

sticking this here

20:49

if i missed anyone lmk

@Event Ping let's finish this, shall we :)

@Event Ping With that, my hand is revealed— Miss Charlotte with the poisoned cup of tea!

While our beloved little shopkeeper will be facing no real-world ramifications for the nonexistent blood on her hands, your officers will not, either. The rest of 777 experienced a day that was completely normal, puzzlingly enough, and were certainly startled to hear reports of Q shenanigans aboard their Starbase. Thank you everyone for your magnificent sleuthing, and especially to Nyx for being my partner in crime, and thank you for your patience with me as I moped about the past few days— promise, no more murder mysteries

Thank you all for playing!

btw obligatory timeskip to present day etc. so everyone can know about the q activity if they wish, but only the civs were there :p
