Walrus finished his prayer, and looked at Wraelis. "Apology accepted. Time is running out, Wraelis. Vote.

"Well," Wraelis says standing up, "Who thinks FKM's a traitor? I have to say, this has taken a sharp turn around, but I'm thankful it did. I vote we lynch him and get this overwrite."

Walrus cocked his head. "Is that an official vote, Wraelis? I believe FKM is the traitor."

“This is your decision Wraelris? Please understand that I do not say this as a threat and remember all of what I have said today. We are it seems close to striking the final blow and if it is in our favour and we have understood correctly then we will all be saved.”
He paused a moment.
“But if we have made a mistake if some corrupting force has acted against us turning a once loyal man into a deranged traitor we will damn ourselves with a false move. Are you ready to vote?”

"It seems you are"
"Then for now I retract my vote against Soap"

"I believe then, there is a procedure to officiate it you will want to follow. Subtle hint, the rest of us have used it."

"That's my vote, empty. Walrus had a convincing argument and I believe him," Wraelis says to emptyhat. He turns back to Walrus for a second "Though I am curious, Arbite. Was it Dave that killed Paimon? You said you were tracking rook?"

"No, Wraelis. Neither of us had the chance to go after Paimon. As I said, on the return from Rook's hideout he was snatched."

FKM talks some more.
"Once again you talk about things as if they are proof. I sided against paimon. In fact i was viciously against paimon if you remember and she ended up being a daemonhost. You talk about a friend that can no longer back up what you say whether it be truth or lies. Who here would know if your ID was falsified? Nobody would because the only other people here that can are dead. You killed your buddy dave to get rid of suspicion and made up a little convenient story for yourself."
FKM starts talking slowly.
"Now if i was working alone why would i care to cast blame upon myself? If i was working with any of you why would i? Certainly if i am chaos and was working with wraelis than why would i needlessly throw blame at myself. If i was working with walrus why would i want him dead so much. If i was working with emptyhat i could've just voted soap out. If i was working with soap then why would i have blamed him so much before and why would he blame me."
FKM speaks to walrus.
"I am not guilty. You have every reason to be. You have hidden your identity. You have everything to gain by your buddy for one time's death. You are getting everybody to rally behind your banner of lies and deceit."
FKM slows down.
"Now if you want me to play your little game of roulette i'm unsure if the priest will allow it as a part of this game but i'm fine with it. I find it funny though you would suggest as much. If i remember earlier and one or two of us are chaos then wouldn't the odd chance of hitting an imperial be much higher. Isn't that a chaos thing to do? All that random chance and mayhem is just chaos's style."

"Fair enough, I was just curious. Clearly there's a few more in here who have their abilities to use in the night."

FKM also says. "Also i could've just sided against emptyhat had everybody gone against him and soap and i were chaos buddies."
FKM says slowly.
"Maybe i'm wrong maybe your not a traitor walrus. Maybe somebody else is but i just find this situation too convenient for you."

"FKM's got a few valid points there. He's opposed to cultists so far, he could've sided with others now and picked off a potential innocent. Walrus, we may be getting ahead of ourselves here. I want to know where the others stand in this."

"FKM, he meant roulette in the fashion of "Wraelis is th bullet in the chamber, let's see where he lands GIVEN I side with FKM" not a literal game of it. I didn't suggest it. You're so certain I killed my final companion aren't you, because I hid my status. It is virtually impossible to falsify an Imperial Arbite identity card. I have spent a long time working undercover, and one of the main parts of working undercover is 'Never make yourself stand out to be targeted.' Poor Dave has always been a patrol officer, so he wasn't as aware, and payed the price. And don't you dare suggest working undercover corrupted me. There was NO chaotic activity her before your ship came along! The worst thing we dealt with was over zealous gangers shooting each other up in bystander-heavy areas!
Your entire litte tirade on working with others going to work against you. You just proved, in your own words, you are by yourself. We have mostly come to the agreement there is probably iny one cultist left. Can you see that problem? As for not being guilty, you admitted to smuggling excess cargo. A crime."

FKM states angrily.
"Yes and if i was a lone cultist and working by myself i'd just vote out whoever i wanted and not thrown suspicion anywhere. I could get away with a scot free record and still kill an innocent. I have not done this. You however rallied so much support against me. How do i know you not the traitor? Indeed maybe i'm wrong. However you've been viciously against me as well. Maybe i shouldn't cast so much blame on you but you are so willing to see me die now."

FKM states slowly.
"Also if that badge of office is falsified how would we know. Nobody here among us probably knows the difference. I'm sure your buddy would know but he's dead. Maybe i'm just getting edgy and jumping to conclusions and blaming you. I suppose there were others that could've gained from dave's death. Maybe i was just so focused on you i forgot to see the possible betrayal of somebody else."

"I think you've been putting a negative light in me the entire time. You're so adamant my credentials COULD be false because nobody knows the difference. You've been putting emphasis on how much I would gain from my friends death, but you forget that now I don't have my long time confidant and friend to cross notes with and share the stress."

FKM talks to walrus.
"Maybe i have given you too much flak but you just had too much to gain from yesterday. Your best buddy dies and then bam you're suddenly the most trusted person here up from the worst without giving any real info about yourself needed. Something doesn't feel right about that."

Walrus looked at FKM with a quizzical expression. "So you've been going after me because I didn't paint myself as a target from the very start? I took the path I did to get a better view of proceedings with little risk. Only when I became sure of there only being one cultist left did I pull out my trump card."

FKM talks to walrus.
"No i went after you because you had too much to gain from this. You gained soap's loyalty instantly and everybody was rallied behind you for a time. You went up from least trusted to most trusted just based on your friend's death. We knew very little of both of you. Then you pull out an arbite card at the last minute to secure loyalty. You seemed to gain too much from this. There were too many things adding up about your story that didn't feel right."

"One thing I am interested in Walrus. You were with the Arbites and you stood against the cult. Did you escape unwounded? We have already seen the damage that Soap has taken from them. Is your own flesh clean?"

Soap arose from his knees. Little emotion showing from his face, apart from two clean marks on his face where tears had ran.
"What is happening to us? All this pointing of fingers casting blame. An Imperial Agent stands in front of you and you dare cast blame at him? Thats like spitting in the face of our God-Emporor!"
Standing, Soap aproched FKM. "You blame everyone, yet your own story is your death. You come to my homeworld, you bring controband, and my planet becomes infected by cultists".
"Emptiehat, I must thank you for sparering my life. Does that mean your taking Walrus'es side? And yes, although I am wounded, I did not mean any of you until I reached this place. My injury came from a fire fight, so I fail to see how being injured would prove guilt or innosence".
Moving to stand with Walrus. "I think this may make sence. Emptiehat, you spare my life, but why? As a sign of compasion for me retracting my vote on you? Because Iv become to much of an easy target, as I accepted I was going to die? Or because Walrus has gained trust in others, and your trying to blend in?"
"FKM, on one hand you cant doubt into minds about everyone, but yet you speak sence on alot of other matters. Yes, Iv pointed holes in your story, like you have with everyone else. But you where the first to oust Paimon, and look what she turned out to be."
Picking up his las rifle, Soap stood tall with the weapon by his side. "I have spoken with the emporor. He has guided me with his light".
"Only with light can you see darkness. Emptyhat, you are the cultist".
"I vote for Emptyhat!"

FKM states clearly.
"Well then if people trust walrus and my information seems pretty solid then what of our two friends wraelis and emptyhat. Emptyhat hasn't shared much with us. Wraelis is also a mercenary. I'd rather not harm either man esp. one that has stood up for me. That just makes things so confusing for me. I think walrus is a cultist but i don't know enough about you two either. Soap has walrus's trust and you trust him. I don't know what to believe. What do you all say?"

“A bold move Soap. I do still have my suspicions about you but you stand in position easily able to take F.K.M to his grave. I must say that I cannot be sure of his innocence but I have a feeling that if you all drag him to the block that we will find loyal blood on our hands. Do you sense this too? Or is it just your overriding suspicion of me?”
“Walrus has indeed saved you this day, I hope for both your sakes that you are on the same side. If you are cultists then we will see you both purged. If you are loyal then you have done well in our master’s name. However if one of you has spared a cultist this day then the price will indeed be high.”
