With Kastchey's post I count a slight preference for the fuller version. And as I said, the game starts today. You should all have received your roles by now (check your PMs).
---------------------------
Everything swims in front of your eyes, blurred as if you looked through the churning sea. Where are you? You don‘t remember, not entirely. You banged your head against...
No, no, that is not correct.
But why then does your head hurt so much? Why is your vision blurry? Why won't your hands and arms move?
It takes a moment, but then you begin to see the glass lid of the cryonic chamber more clearly and beyond that the lab. And the headache becomes more defined too. Pounding, splitting, like a really bad migraine, but also wailing – wailing like the alarms beyond the confines of the chamber.
Where is the nurse? You weren't supposed to...
The thought hits you like an electric shock. You breathe, far too heavy, far too fast. You claw against the metal of the chamber, not even realizing that your limbs follow your commands again.
A few seconds later, the cryonic chamber opens with a hiss and you stumble to the ground.
Around you, the other chambers, all five of them, open as well or are already open. Coughing, confused, some standing upright but holding onto everything around them, some kneeling on the ground, you all look around disoriented.
The chambers were only supposed to open at the end of the journey and there was supposed to be medical personal around. Neither is the case. The light in the lab is dimmed, as if nobody was supposed to be in this room of the UWS (United World Spacecraft) BlueCup.
After a while, you start to identify part of the noise around you as a voice, speaking over the automated alarm system: “...initiating protocol 77b, automated reactivation of all passengers. Two strange lifeforms identified on board. Possibility of shape-shifting. Scanners malfunctioning. Several crew members found dead. Autopilot active. I am hereby initiate protocol 77b...”
That does not sound good. You did not meet the passengers before you were put to sleep...

(I assume I don't need to explain the renaming I did there, to make the roles more setting appropriate.)
We are now in the first Day Phase and all players are welcome to post here, to suspect others and maybe even to lynch someone (remember to bold lynch votes), if you feel so inclined, and all non-players are kindly ask to not post here anymore.
All players are also invited to send PMs with their last words to me, if you have something to say already. Please keep them short and remember that I need them before a character is killed.
The Day Phase lasts about 48 hours and ends on 28th April between 4 and 7 pm.
(It would be nice if you try some role-playing, but it is not absolutely required.)
Current Phase: Day 1
