5 Man Test Post: carlos821's gang.
You have been contacted out of the blue with an offer;
“A ship has washed ashore on an unassuming small island about 50 miles northwest of Puerto Rico. There is something inside that belongs to us. It is in a box about 3 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 1 meter tall. You will know it when you see it. We wish you to retrieve it for us. We have contacted you along with a number of other individuals due to your unique skills. You will be working alongside them to retrieve the box. For this, you will be paid one million dollars.”
Along with this message came a time and a place. You have decided to accept, for your own reasons. At the meeting spot, you found a gaggle of strange characters, none of whom you know. You didn’t have much time to acquaint yourself with your new teammates before being ushered into a helicopter.
Some Mechanics
In addition to testing GM coordination, this quest will be using and testing the turn system proposed by CobaltMonkey after the end of the 3-Man quest, which should hopefully allow players to interact more freely and also make the timeline of events easier to follow. Turns will go like this:
I will make a top-level comment to set the stage, and number it so that people can follow along at a later date.
Each player will respond to that comment. If they want to react to something another player did, they will respond to that player's comment instead and tag me.
I make a new top-level comment, number it, and let all the players know.
Repeat 2 and 3 until we're done.
As an example, a turn might look something like:
carlos821:
[1]
Stuff happens.
Player 1:
I do A.
Player 2:
I do B.
Player 3:
I notice player 2 doing B, and do C in response.
Player 4:
I do D.
Player 5:
I do E.
To begin, respond to the comment I have made on this post.
Players for this test are as follows:
/u/liono69—Chance "The Lion" Danyon
[0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]

Chance, looking through the engine parts, you don’t see any you specifically recognize. You can recognize the basics of what the parts are and how they work, but these specific models are unknown to you. You don’t recognize the serial numbers either.
Solomon, you and Chatterbox finish up your interview with the Lieutenant. You turn to head for the elevator you’ve been told is at the end of the hanger, when you hear the Lieutenant yell out behind you, “NO!”, at a pretty good volume, considering what Chatterbox did to him. Glancing back, you can see him struggling to get to his feet, before giving up on it and collapsing.
“No, you’re not going anywhere. You’re gonna smack me with that damn sword, right now. I’m not gonna let you go get yourself killed and damn me to another fucking century in this fucking hanger. Kill me, now. Please.” He’s started trying to struggle to his feet again, not very successfully. He looks around at all of you, trying to gauge what each of you is thinking.
What do you do?
