Ogre pulls out his Grady revolver, and carefully heads to the noise. It gets louder.
You hear it now, somewhat clear.
"GET ME OUT! GET ME OUT OF THIS DAMNED BOX! HELP ME! HELP! I CAN HEAR YOU! PLEASE, DON'T BE HIM!

You find the box where the noise is originating.

[Archangel]

Ogre Carefully examines the box and asks "Who do you mean by 'Him'?"

[Cheddarius]

Grond asks the robot what he [Grond] can do for him [the robot]. He asks if the robot also knows where the cargo bay is.

[Org]

Why would you need to go there?
----------------------------------
"So, Wadsworth, what may I do for you?"
He thinks for a second, before responding.
"Clean a room!"


--------------
"What do you mean by 'Him'?"
"That damned ass, Alex Dillenger, that's who I mean. Faked my death and kidnapped me! So help me man!"

[Cheddarius]

Hmmm, yeah, I guess since the cargo bay doesn't have enemies yet there isn't much reason to go there.

Grond cleans a room.

[Archangel]

"Any idea why he'd do that?"
Ogre looks for traps and locks on the box.

[Org]

You go in a room, directed by Wadsworth. He hands you some cleaning stuff.

While cleaning, you find a GoShop Credit Card! Must have been left by someone.
You spend two hours cleaning. Wadsworth compliments you on your ability.

He then directs you to the control room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ogre says the stuff.
"Yeah man! I was a high up guy in the powder gangs, but they haven't been liking me lately, and I think they have been trying to kill me. So I was going to get a deal with the Board, when that guy got me! Was wearing a Board Enforcer uniform, however the hell he got that.
Most importantly, one of the Board is in on the gang!"

[Archangel]

Are there any traps or locks on the box?

[Org]

Yeah. Some primitive lock. Non-electric.

[Cheddarius]

From now on, OOC stuff will be in italics.
Archangel, would you like to bring this guy to our room? I'm going to check out the control room. I'll be back, I can help heal him if he needs it. Also, I'll work on curating all the clues we have so far.
Grond thanks Wadsworth, then heads to the control room.

[Org]

You thank Wadsworth.
"Thank you, for helping me clean up. A pleasure to have met you."
You ehad to the control room, and meet up with Peter on the way. The large doors of the room stand before you.

[Archangel]

Since I am unlikely to be able to pick even as simple a lock as this one, I'll try to bash the lock open.
I think I will interrogate him a bit before I decide what to do.

EDIT: Actually, cancel that.

[Cheddarius]

Archangel! You might make noise, DON'T DO THAT YET!

Grond enters the control room.

Spoiler: Clues (click to show/hide)

Grayson Maximillian The Tenth, of the royal lineage of the merchant kings, is the captain of the ship. He wants to curry favor with the CAB, or Colonial Administrations Boards.

Someone on our level is speaking with someone on a holocom. They are suspicious. He owns a gun. Though, technically, I have a machine pistol and a ballistic vest, Ogre has a revolver and a vest, and Peter has a silenced revolver. So Yeah. Also, he thinks of us as "scum", has connections with Enforcers, and has a CAB or affiliate hat.

There is the famous Issue 14 of Grognak the Barbarian, rumored to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe, in our room. It has connections with Cthulhu and insanity.

There is a cleaning robot named Wadsworth. Someone almost killed him - it was probably Jack. Wadsworth dislikes work, and is willing to trade information for work.

Someone named Alex Dillinger, possibly the suspicious person on our level, faked someone else's death, and trapped him in a box. He was in a "powder gang"... more information here

[Org]

Bravo Cheddar. However, who is Jack?
Maybe I forget...
You get the reference with Grognak, yes?
-----------------------------------------------
BAm! You pound on it, with your first few times to no avail before it snaps open!
"Thank you! Thank you!
The man is almost at tears.

When you hear from behind you:
"What the hell do you think you are doing?"
You hear the click of a gun.
------------------------------------------------
ZMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
THe doors open.
"Hello, my dear friends! How are you? Have you been feeling good about this ship?
Dinner is almost ready. Where is your other friend?"

[Archangel]

Oh *beep*. What do you suggest I do Ched?
