Now that we've all had time to settle in, why don't we play a game? It's simple enough: you give two truths about yourself and one lie, and we all have a fun time guessing which is which. And if you already know the answers to someone's, there's no need to spill the true answer for all to see. Let's keep it as fair as we can, shall well?


I'll go first:

- I was 'hired' by my current employer after I offered a possibility to a branch of it that led them to invest millions of credits into something that never gave any returns
- It's very likely that I am currently dead wherever I came from after I challenged a very special woman to kill me
- The last planet I was on before this one was Thalassa, a world of oceans -- what was supposed to be a lovely vacation turned far more sinister when one of the locals unleashed an unknown entity from the ruins of an ancient, fallen starship from the fleet known as the Xianzhou

Now feel free to guess amongst yourselves, friends, and don't forget to give your own three options!

Is the third one the lie? It sounds like the plot of a movie.

1. I’ve recently changed jobs.

2. Until I came here, I'd never been invited out by my coworkers.

3. And while we’re sharing vacation horror stories, my last vacation was postponed due to assassins.

[stonehearts]

It could be based in truth, you know. But you're right, that's the one!

What about... three?

[kubricks]

It could be but it seemed the least likely of the three.

And my vacation story is true.

[stonehearts]

Then how about the first?

Huh, can't say I could see a vacation of my own ending early because of assassin. Shame it happened to you

[kubricks]

No the first one is also true. I recently changed day jobs.

It's okay. These things happen. Better I be around to deal with that sort of thing than not.

[stonehearts]

Do you deal with that sort of thing a lot?

[kubricks]

No. This was the first time I've changed jobs.

[A little bit of a joke, she's pretty sure that question was about the vacation interrupting assassins, not her resume.]

[stonehearts]

Haha, very clever! I can't say I'm envious -- you could say I've changed jobs a lot. Climbing the corporate IPC ladder involves a lot of being very good at a lot of things. You're always trying to learn something new to keep yourself ahead of the internal competition

Was the change a nice one?

[kubricks]

Sounds very cutthroat.

And I think so. It's not something I've done professionally before but I think I'll enjoy doing it when we're not busy with missions.
