OOC Discussion

By the waning years of the 22nd century, humanity has expanded beyond Earth, establishing colonies on Mars, Ceres, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn; the latter of these being largely penal or mining colonies, taking advantage of the isolation and mineral wealth of these moons. One such colony, known as Benedict’s Rest, was established on the shores of the north polar sea of Ligeia Mare on the moon Titan, in the year 2169. Originally a penal colony that used convict labor to harvest liquid methane, Benedict’s Rest was bought out by a German energy conglomerate, Richter Dynamics, and expanded; now, in 2189, contract, or “free” miners outnumber convicts 5 to 1—158 free miners to 31 convicts.

The colony’s productivity, formerly the highest of any Richter colony site, has dropped 19% in the last month with no reasonable explanation provided. In the same period, the colony medic, Dr. Henry Holzer, has died; the administration has been vague regarding cause, though it has been intimated that he committed suicide. Over the objections of colony administrator James Kingsley, Richter Dynamics has sent a team of corporate troubleshooters to investigate these two issues and make recommendations to revive productivity.

Might be worth mentioning before we start. This is a published one-shot, not a fully developed setting, I've made a few adjustments but not spent hours developing it. The original scenario has some violations of the laws of physics and chemistry that I've tried to correct but it is inevitable in a scenario like this we'll make errors with the science. We'll just roll with it.

I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm sure you can just just put any violations of physics down to non-euclidean warping of space time.

How is it going for you all? I'm keen for constructive criticism. I'm veering slightly from the scenario as written so there's scope to adjust the pace or the direction if people want.

Everything seems to be going very smoothly. I'd say you are doing a great job following through with all the questions and keeping the game moving.

I'm enjoying it. It's very creepy, and I'm expecting us all to die horribly on Titan.
And it's also moving at a nice pace.

I've been busier than expected this weekend, so haven't been able to post.
I'll catch up in all games and, post wherever needed this evening. :)

I'm working all weekend so might be slow to post - big COVID outbreak to deal with - things seem to have slowed down a bit in the threads the last few days which I'm attributing to the US election - just be aware I might take a while to move things on.

Splitting the party four ways! I'll try and get some stuff up this evening but just be aware it'll probably take me a bit longer to manage four different threads.

Nah, fosters more paranoia if everyone splits up. Particularly if I kill one of you.
