Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell.
"And there's no one there to raise them," said Jimmy after putting his shot glass on the bar. "Why they gotta send you, little sister?"
"I'm ready for it."
On the TV, there was coverage of NASA's first manned mission to Mars.
The older brother raised his hand. While he waited for his drink, he said, "What if you find something unwelcome there? Or something that's doesn't welcome you?"
The younger sibling chuckled. "Hardly different than Earth then, is it?"
After sliding off his bar stool, Jimmy squeezed his sister. "Take my last drink. Deanna's gonna be pissed if I don't get home by twelve."
"Are you all right to drive?"
"Are you all right to go to Mars?"
The jukebox played a new song: "Ground Control to Major Tom..."
"David Fucking Bowie," Jimmy said. "I like Boston more."

Just as the vessel was blown into its course toward Mars, a gregarious astronaut named Walt Stevens had something bubbling searing through his suit. An acidic bubble burst and struck an electronic panel, which sizzled and failed.
"What is on this flight?"
It is now Day 1. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.
bea was thinking about Jimmy, her older brother. She was thinking about how her brother liked Boston but hated David Bowie. She was thinking about the stress of being the captain on this mission.
But thinking was dangerous. Her own crew smothered her in her sleep.
Bea was thinking about all the missing activity when she breathed her last. How nobody cared about her.
bea has been lynched. She was the Captain Astronaut.
It is now Night 1. You have 22 hours to send in your PMs.

I cared But apparently she did not or she would have voted
I wish someone had come in and voted after I did
Skip softly, my moonbeams, for I have heard tell
That the stairs up to heaven lead straight down to hell

Why not me? I was the first to vote for a civilian.

Wow, that was something else. Why didn't you at least let me answer the question?
Let's just say I have reason to believe outside the thread that I think you're not bad. I didn't think so before, but now I do.
Outside the thread? I don't like the sound of that. And I didn't let you answer the question because it was a rhetorical question. You couldn't give an answer that would make you look civilian after that.

Too bad if you don't like the sound of it; it's true, and it's why I didn't mention you. Why should I come in here and pretend to consider a vote for you when it clearly is in the civvies' best interests for you to stay alive?
Well, you'll be shocked and disappointed when I flip, assuming I do.
To be fair, I probably shouldn't have said that, as it's too close to role hinting or something like that, but considering there aren't listed roles, the game is so small, and it's dumb for me to sit here and even consider you for a vote -- then, that's why I said that.
But you didn't even address why I wasn't in your ring of candidates. By not mentioning me in a ring of only three people besides you, you act as if I'm a confirmed civilian in a game where I was the first person to vote, for a civilian.

Civilians vote for civilians all the time.
I wouldn't say you're 100% confirmed, but more like... I have absolutely no reason to believe you're anything other than civilian, and considering I have no thoughts of the other two players, it's more like 98% confirmed.

I have been extremely busy and I apologize. I don't want to die and we lose another civ and don't have a chance to win this game. I know what I am, so I will vote Vomps as suggested by Mp.
But apparently she did not or she would have voted 
svs. Was my fault. Over-extended myself.
