Well, this isn't good at all.  I guess I should go check on the FTL drive and make sure the rest of the systems are running properly.

Hey Raistlin, can you help clean up what's left of the captain.

Well, we're 3 light years away from the nearest... anything I'm aware of.  So, longer than 3 years.

Shay, you better not be serving meatloaf tonight.

Alright, after reading through the rules, I have arrived at the following conclusions.  There is only one space lycanthrope, and Lycanthropy Astrica is a non communicable disease, however, it can be detected.  I've been working on my thesis for my Doctorate in this field, and I am sure I can accurately detect with over 99% probability the presense of the virus.  Here is the catch; it takes 24 hours to verify the tests, and I only have enough equipment to do one at a time, and further equipment cannot be replicated with anything we have on board this ship.  Now, I know comming out of the closet is tantamount to suicide, but the odds are greatly stacked against us with there only being one wolf.  There is no way to build an algorithim based on voting with only one furball.  So the chances are more likely that we will just end up voting off an innocent in the first day.  And since no one will get spaced if we don't vote, we don't need to sacrifice anyone.  Now, I don't need all of you to believe me, just the one that can protect me.  The wolf knows who I am, and will likely go after me first.  If he doesn't get lucky and get you first (keep your identity secret, because you can't protect both yourself and me) we have a good chance of catching him before  its too late. He will probably vote for SOMEONE, and I will counter his vote by voting for someone else, thus creating a deadlock, and noone gets spaced.   As the janitor, in the last few hours I have been collecting DNA samples from the restrooms, kitchen, and private quarters from everyone, I will check for the virus on whoever votes first, assuming that you are the wolf.  If the wolf is smart he wont vote either, thus making my job harder and I will have to pick someone at random.  Thus, its in our mutual best interest to stick together and not vote innocents off until I can verify who the wolf is.  Thats the best I can come up with, unless someone else has a better idea...
p.s. I'm comming for ya wolfman.  You will not escape me THIS time.  The scientific community will see that I am NOT crazy, and you DO exist.  Your days are numbered you beast!

*looks at the captain and blinks a few times*

Oh my....they didn't teach us anything about this in school. 

Rakor, I thought you promised me no nut jobs on this mission.  You said "It will be an easy cruise.  No real work to do."  This counts as real work.

I was in sick bay all day yesterday trying to get my uniform to fit right, that and making sure everything was nice and clean. I didn't see the Cap'n at all.

*pokes at his body with a glass rod while examining the wounds*

No, the wolf is out to get all of us, now when are you going to get this mess cleaned up? Can't you see it is disturbing our nurse?

Hmmm, well it seems to me that is still does not fit quite right, perhaps we could arrange some time this evening and I could help you get a proper fit <winks and flashes a brilliantly white and clean smile>

Sorry, didn't see him either. I was cleaning up after lunch.

It's not Paranoia then...

Or is it?

<stops writing and looks up> Actually I have a better idea, what if we were to 'pair off' for the night. That way both parties would have an alibi (sp?). And if one person is killed, well then we have a prime suspect and someone to investigate and space.

Well as I feel safe in saying that Nurse Wulf will also agree, as we already have plans to 'meet', who else will be pairing up for the night?

Hey, we have barf bags for a reason, and my flying was quite smooth... oh... ewww....

Well, my test for the first day came back 90% positive that Shay21 has the wolf retrovirus.  I was hoping for higher results, but I guess that is the best I can do with a sucky computer.  That was good going for Tim the first night.  That would have totaly threw me off.  So I vote for Shay21
And if she got lucky and Tim was the protector/marine, I'll be dead by tomarrow night, and you all will know I was right.  Good luck everybody.  I'm going to go clean up the mess now.  all of my swifer-bots seem to be on the fritz now. 

Sorry I'm late but I had breakfast delivered to the room... what did I miss... <looks around and sees that Lathlander is missing> I take it that <points to the pile of wolf rent gore> used to be Lath?

<after a quick re-cap> Wow, well Raist, in my business 90% is an insanely safe bet with lots of profit potential, so much as I hate to see a good cook go, I agree that we space Shay21. Sorry, it's nothing personal and the dinner you prepared last night was exquisite.
