One day you're here, baby / And then you're gone.....>You may look like a human, but you know you're not. You are wearing the traditional uniform of your people: a long, colorful robe of Egyptian appearance, capped by a truly magnificent hat, fit for a pharaoh. Your name tag, the one element which doesn't gel well with the uniform, is slightly obscured, but the last two letters, "RA," are visible.
The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot.> Your face is hidden behind a metallic mask, with a simple one-way visor to let you see. Much of the rest of your body is concealed by a hood. The name tag has only an illegible scrawl on it.
be nice to benjamin it's not his fault he got beat up by a microbeATTENTION: NO NEW RESPONSES AT THIS TIME, OR THE GM WILL FIND THEM HARD TO INTEGRATE. INTEGRATED ANSWERS BELOW. ACTION POST TO COME.
What you look like: You're a woman, about five foot six inches. Your hair is short and dark with a few streaks of white. Your green eyes look somewhat more than human — sunken, tired, but compound, like an insect. You have brown skin, and darker freckles all over your body.
Uniform: You have a long, colorful Egyptian robe, which you take off now. Beneath it, your uniform is simple, a black top and boots with pants of grey digital camoflage.
Name Badge: Your badge is a NASA badge. It tells you that your name is Ruby Ramirez.
Post 2:
You now know that your name is Ruby Ramirez, and you seem to work for NASA, but you still don't know what your role on the ship is, why you're here, or why you seem to have amnesia. And where have your colleagues gone?Beyond the helm, there is a hallway. You must have bedrooms back there. Knocking on doors is no help, and you get no answer. It's rude, but you feel you have no choice: you open the doors and begin to search each room. Your colleagues aren't there. You do find a picture of four people in front of a spaceship, smiling. One of them is you. Two others are men, and one is another woman. They all look fully human. Unlike you. There is another thought that continues from that, you're sure of it, but like so much, it's elusive.
One of the rooms, you recognize as yours— when you see a diary with your name on it. You put it in your pocket, and keep searching.
Finally, you come to the galley. You are hungry, but you're not sure if you have time to eat. On the other hand, do you have time not to when you don't know what's coming next? You see half an open bottle of champagne on the counter.
What is your next move? Eat? Investigate the champagne? Read your diary? All of the above? Or something else?
> Read the diary and see what it says. Maybe get a snack to have while you're at it, if there are any.
be nice to benjamin it's not his fault he got beat up by a microbe>Try to find something edible and stuff it in your mouth. Wash your hands if you need to and then read your diary.
If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. Toni Morrison> Pour a glass of champagne for yourself.
and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised.>look outside into the endless void of space
One day you're here, baby / And then you're gone.....>Take champagne, chug directly from bottle
Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?>When in doubt, drink heavily. Slam the bottle of champagne.
Now everyone pat me on the back and tell me how clever I am!> Wait, is it really champagne inside the bottle? Read the label and inspect the liquid. If it is alcohol, well, chug away.
Behind them is darkness full of peril, and in front of them are scheming wolves, apes, tigers, and leopards, waiting to plunder victory.>Raise toast to the planet you're orbiting.

You search for the cupboards for something, anything, to snack on, and luckily find some biscuits and cookies, graham crackers, even a bit of chocolate (in a heart-shaped box, no less) and marshmallows. Maybe you'll make S'mores at some point? You take down an assortment and arrange it in front of you. You also take down a glass, looking at the label of the champagne bottle closely. It's a real champagne bottle. You detect an alcohol scent as well, and it smells of champagne— yes, it is alcohol, there's champagne in there. You don't know if that's all it is, but you'll just take a few sips. You pour a glass of the (now flat) champagne and sit down at the counter, opening your diary at random. Before reading, you gaze outside and raise a toast to this strange planet.Captain Waverton is going to get us all killed! He swears up and down that he has no personal discretion to discontinue the mission, that the orders from Central were from so high up he can't countermand them. Then, we should mutiny, take the ship, and get out of this sector! The Hesperian Empire would take us, welcome us, even, with this ship. It may not be honorable, but neither is dying for nothing. The Binhannis are so far ahead of us, especially with their integrated biotech and nanotech sectors, they can take down our ship without us even knowing it.
No one ever found the consular ship that was sent twenty years ago to Binhanni, after all. And now we're forbidden from mentioning it to them.
I understand Waverton's reluctance, and I respect him as a person and a friend. But that doesn't change the fact that the Binhannis don't want us here.
Eventually, you manage to get a hold of yourself, and the room stops spinning. It is lucky you only had a few sips. What is your next move?
> Examine your surroundings
The true power of us human beings is that we can change ourselves on our own.> Look through my crewmate's shit
and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised.> Did the ship have a science lab? See if there is one, and if so, whether analysing what the hell's up with the fizz is within your skillset.

Welcome to a Science Fiction Text Adventure! With your GM: PointMaid
Rules:
Post 1: The Beginning
You're stuck in space over an unknown planet (sorry). You know that because you can see it on the view screen in front of you. You see blue oceans and several landmasses that appear a mix of purple, yellow, and gray. Are those spiderweb patterns roads connecting towns? You don't remember why you're here. You don't remember what the planet is or who (or what!) might be down there. You can't remember who is with you on the spaceship. You can't remember what your role on the ship is or your rank. You can't even remember your own name.
Maybe the ship's computer can help you. "Computer?" You look around. Nothing happens. Nothing responds. You can't remember how to get the ship's computer to respond to you! This is very aggravating. You look around the area (you'd call it a cockpit or a helm) to get an idea of who the crew, including you, are. There are four chairs at four stations. There are some personal knick-knacks, but they don't jog any memories as of yet.
You look out at the planet, trying to get an idea of what sort of place it is and why you're here. As you do, you get a glimpse of yourself in the shiny window: you vaguely recognize your own face, and the uniform you have on. You also notice your name badge.
What do you look like? What does your uniform look like? And what does your name badge say?
