Okay, now,
this is a sort of thread where everyone gets introduced to the ship AIs and get the clearest accounting of their situation that they can get.
The rules for this thread are simply "tag in when you can and when your character has something to say" and always, ALWAYS tag on the lowest thread down. Even if some posts double a little here and there from people posting the same time, that's okay. Rommie will just respond to both post. So always tag the lowest post down. No new subthreads. Act like it's all one huge conversation. If you don't get much to say in edgewise, don't worry about it. This is a big group thing with like thirty people so everyone would be talking at once and at most, some people would get to say only one or two things.
This will lead into the crew meeting the creepier members of the crew and an Incident, as well as set up for the first game plot. After the Incident--and it will be very clear what that incident is, people will be free to explore and just meet and talk to each other.
