Scientists aboard the DSV Ammonite have been exploring the waters of the South Pacific for several weeks and their mission is due to finish in a few hours. Desperate to find something of note, the crew has steered for an unmapped portion of the seafloor to explore. Isolated from the surface and with limited communication while operating outside the sub, the crew of the Ammonite is truly alone... or are they? | Scientists aboard the DSV Ammonite have been exploring the waters of the South Pacific for several weeks and their mission is due to finish in a few hours.

Welcome to "Murder on the Starlight Express", a six hour, experimental [for its time] murder mystery assassin game. You can be one of ten crewmen trapped onboard the Freighter Gabriel, on course from Ceti Alpha 6 to Epsilon Eridani 4, with a murderer (or two) trapped on board. It's the classic whodonit, but in assassin style, where the criminals can shoot back, and maybe even shoot first. | Welcome to "Murder on the Starlight Express", a six hour, experimental [for its time] murder mystery assassin game.

Every eight months, you wake, and you serve as crew for the colony ship for four months. Then you go back to sleep in the cryo pods for another eight months. Sleep, wake, sleep. If you have a friend, a sibling, a lover who ends up on another shift from you -- you get to see them for one week out of every eighteen. But when you do -- you party. That's what you're doing today. For some of you, it's goodnight. For others, it's good morning. For all of you, it's a rare chance to see people you care about, meet new people, and resolve relationship drama, and pehaps to talk about your dreams. | Every eight months, you wake, and you serve as crew for the colony ship for four months.
