Apostolic Nihilist
It is deep in the night. You have finished the preparations for the night's sacrifice, and now all you need is the victim. You sneak through the darkness towards chaoticjosh's room. You find him heading back inside, a preoccupied look on his face. Sneaking up behind him you put a chloroform soaked cloth over his mouth, and after a few moments of struggling he falls to the ground unconscious. You heft the body and take it off through the snows, and back to the cave.

Trusting that your source is correct, you make preparations to grab this webadict for questioning back at headquarters.
Sneaking off to his room, you quickly jimmy the lock open. A very surprised webadict turns to face you and you blast him with a stunner. His eyes roll up into his head, and he collapses to the ground. Grabbing the body you signal your ship to rendezvous with you and head off into the night. Once you are out of sight of the lodge your ship lands, hovering a few inches off the ground. You load webadict into the containment hold and blast off.

Jim Groovester
You find a comfy spot and keep watch on Humaan during the night. Fortunately, your services are unneeded, and you eventually head off to your room to grab a few hours of sleep before everyone gathers for the day.

Kashyyk
You sit in your room, candle lit and gold chain in your hands. You take a deep breath, and speak the words to the Rite of Submission. Summoning your power, you cast the psychic energies out into the night to fall upon ToonyMan. You can feel the chains tightening around him, drawing away his energy and binding him to his room. Hands shaking slightly from the strain you release the spell. ToonyMan is bound, and you can get some rest.

Pandarsenic
You sit on your bed, breathing slowly and allowing your spirit to roam free of your body. Your astral form leaves the room, and skims through the shadowy world to Mr.Person's mind. You dive down into the bright spark of his mind and sample his thoughts. The emotion is clear. Kill. Smiling slightly to yourself you speed away from his mind, and return to your body.
Stretching, you get up and go to your closet. There is still a sacrifice to perform tonight, after all.

You gather your things and prepare for another abduction. These humans are so fascinating!
Heading off to ToonyMan's room, you set down the stun orb and activate it. After waiting a few moments, you gather it up and head inside. It seems he is already asleep on his bed, but you touch the orb to his head just to make sure he doesn't wake up.
Back at your ship you place him in a holding cell and begin the scans. Near morning you get the results. Normal Human, no sign of Great Old One energies corrupting this specimine. Boring, but you do need a control subject. You mark down the results and prepare for another day of watching these humans. So much to learn!

ToonyMan
You sit on your bed, occasionally looking over at the locked door to your room. You can only hope that it will keep you safe if these cultists come searching for you.
As you lie down you begin to feel a weight pressing down on you, as if invisible chains were being wrapped around you. You try to sit up, to struggle, but the strength flows out of your limbs. You lie there, helpless, as your mind slowly sinks into darkness.
You wake up the next morning in a strange room. The walls and floor are metal, and many strange blinking lights surround you. It seems...almost alien. You then hear RedWarrior0's voice speaking to you. "Greeting, ToonyMan. I hope your cell isn't too uncomfortable. After all, I can't have my subjects stressing out too much, might throw off my results. You won't be going anywhere for a while, but at least you're safe in here. We're going to learn so much about humans from you! This is going to be great, just...just great!"
Looks like you're a lab rat now. Not exactly what you signed up for with this job. You sit in the cell, grumbling to yourself about how it ought to be your manager stuck in here, with you safe at home playing computer games.

chaoticjosh
You stake out webadict's house. Hopefully you'll learn something interesting.
The night drags on, but eventually you see JanusTwoFace show up. He jimmies open the lock, and a few minutes later you see him leave. Webadict's prone form is slung over his shoulder! Fascinating! But you don't want to be seen, so you quickly head back to your room.
As you slip the key into the lock an arm reaches around and grabs you. You feel a cloth pressed to your mouth, and strange fumes fill your nose. You struggle, but the fumes are interfering with your ability to breath, to think. You begin to black out.
Some time later you wake up, mind fuzzy and head hurting. You try to move, but you're tied down. You try to speak, but your mouth is gagged. Above you is a rough rock ceiling, and you can hear chanting. As your look around you see figures in dark robes standing around you. The chanting gets louder, faster, and soon becomes a gibbering buzz of sound. Your eyes widen as one of the figures steps forward with a long dagger in hand. You try to escape, to scream, but the bindings are too tight. Your last sight is of the blade flashing downwards, a sharp pain, and then blackness.
Your soul rises into the air, and then you feel yourself being drawn down into a horrible darkness full of gibbering, screeching horrors.

webadict
You're grabbing your robe out of your closet when you hear your door rattle. Sighing, you turn. You then stare in shock as JanusTwoFace bursts in and raises some sort of weapon. Before you can react, though, a blast of energy hits you. Your body locks up, your eyes roll back in your head, and you collapse onto the ground.
You wake up in a small holding cell, with JanusTwoFace standing outside of an energy field looking at you. "So, human, we're going to have a long, long talk about this cult of yours. And when we get back to headquarters, we're going to wring every ounce of information out of that we can." He then turns and strides away to the ships cockpit.

Cult:
Apostolic Nihilist staggers in, the unconscious body of chaoticjosh slung over his shoulder. He looks around, and asks where webadict is. The rest of you aren't sure, but you're not going to wait for him. You can feel the voices of the cosmic horrors screeching for blood.
You tie the victim down and gag him. You then begin the chant. It starts slow and guttural, then rises in volume and speed until it becomes a gibbering cacophony of sound. At the height of the chanting Nihilst steps forward with the dagger and plunges it down into the heart of your victim. The chant stops and you look down at the rush of blood, then begin the chant of release. You can feel his soul rise up before you, only to be drawn to the darkness that has been called to receive it.
Apostolic Nihilist
You sit in your room, reading through some of the more arcane sections of the ancient tombs that you are using for the ritual. There is a section which is somewhat unclear, and you want to make sure that you perform the ceremony correctly. You stop for a second when you ears pick up a slight buzzing sound. You start to look around and discover that you cannot move!
You hear the door to your room open, and the sounds of footsteps behind you. You feel a pressure at the back of your head, and everything goes black.
You wake up in a small holding cell. The floor and walls are a strange, warm, metallic substance. An array of strange blinking lights covers the ceiling. As you stare around, blinking, a voice emanates from the walls.
"Greetings, Apostolic Nihilist. I hope your cell isn't too uncomfortable. I assure you that it is a temporary measure while return to my home system. I am working on my thesis project, and I needed to acquire more samples for study. Fortunately, you have provided the last piece of the puzzle that I needed. A human follower of the Great Old Ones! Your energy signatures are warped in very interesting ways, I assure you. Well, sit back and relax. I have some prep work to do, and it's always a good idea to check in on the auto-pilot. It makes strange detours sometimes..."
The voice trails off. Looks like you're stuck here. Hopefully your companions back on Earth can finish the ceremony without you. Leaning back, you hear a faint voice echoing in your mind. It whispers of power to be had in this distant system, and a new master to free. You smile, a very dark and evil smile. One door closes, and another opens. Such is the road of power.

Jim Groovester
You start gathering your things. Humaan hasn't been attacked yet, but you're certain that if you let your guard down he'll be next on their list.
But as you pull on your coat you feel a strange sensation. Like you've suddenly been wrapped in giant invisible chains! Your body slows, your eyes droop, and your mind starts to get fuzzy. You slump against your bed and collapse onto it. You fight against the feeling, but it is too strong. Your mind sinks down into darkness.
You awaken in a dim chamber. Everything seems strange, somewhat indistinct. Then you realize that you are floating off of the ground! Looking around, you see that you are in a cave, and you body lies below you. Strange robed figures stand around it, chanting, and blood flows over the alter beneath you. You hear a horrible gibbering, slobbering, howling cacaphony of sounds, and you feel yourself being drawn down into darkness. You fight against it, but the dark powers of the cult have accepted their sacrifice, and they are hungry!

Kashyyk
You sit in your room, candle lit and gold chain in your hands. It takes you a while to draw in the power necessary for the rite. Eventually, however, you are ready. The words to the Rite of Submission tumble off of your lips and cast the chains of power out into the night. You feel them fall upon Jim Groovester, binding him and draining his energy. When the rite is complete you slump down in your chair. You've never had to keep up this work for so many nights in a row, and the effort is exhausting you. But, you do what you must. And the cult must be stopped.

Pandarsenic
You silently break into Jim Groovester's cabin. He's passed out on his bed, and it's trivial to jab him with a tranquilizer. You then hoist him over your shoulder and take him up to the cave.

RedWarrior0
You gather your things and prepare for what should be the final abduction. At last, you'll be able to witness the corrupting energies of the Great Old Ones first hand!
Heading off to Apostolic Nihilist's room, you carefully look around before setting down the stun orb and activating it. These cultists are dangerous, after all. A few moments later you gather it up and head inside. Your quarry sits at a table in front of an old tomb of some sort. You can almost feel his rage rolling off of him in waves as you move closer. You quickly press the orb to his head, and he collapses onto the ground. You gather him up and after a few moments you grab the tomb as well. It could prove a very useful reference book on the cult and the Great Old Ones!
Back at your ship you place him in a holding cell and begin the scans. Near morning you get the results. Corrupted Human, clear signs of the energy signature of the Great Old Ones! Excellent! You secure the ship, check in on your passengers, and blast off. This thesis is in the bag!!

Cult
It is Pandarsenic who staggers in this time, the unconscious body of Jim Groovesterslung over his shoulder. However, only Frelock waits for him. You have a sinking feeling that your Leader will not be joining you. Hopefully you can manage to pull off the rest of the ceremony without him.
You tie the victim down and gag him. You then begin the chant. It starts slow and guttural, then rises in volume and speed until it becomes a gibbering cacophony of sound. At the height of the chanting Frelock steps forward with the dagger and plunges it down into the heart of the unconscious victim. The chant stops and you look down at the rush of blood, then begin the chant of release. You can feel his soul rise up before you, only to be drawn to the darkness that has been called to receive it.
