SAGGITARIUS — Just days before its grand opening, the luxury cruise ship SS Galaxy Queen of the Saggitarian Sea was the target of a brazen, multi-pronged attack by an organized gang of griefer thugs.
During the first incident, griefers brandishing disruptors and caging weapons gained access to the ship and briefly held several crew members hostage. The second attack was launched the next evening as merchants prepared their shops for the grand opening.
Pollywog Gardenvale was working in her hat shop on Deck #4 as the second attack unfolded. She explains what happened next.
“There was a bright flash, and in an instant I was outside on the deck with gunfire and bombs exploding all around me. Then suddenly, I was whisked away into the darkness. Although I couldn’t move or teleport, I sent an SOS to the captain and grabbed a screenshot that showed the time and location where I was being held. I received an immediate call back from ship's architect Bill Stirling, who reassured me that his security forces were taking care of the matter. He told me that in the meantime, I could just log out and come back in. An examination of the screenshot revealed that Miss Gardenvale had been transported from (94, 114, 39) to (384, -128, -2147483648).
It is believed that the attack was in retaliation for the ship’s proactive policy of banning known griefers. “I’m Security Manager and we have a zero-griefer policy,” explains Arkady Yost. “We had a few griefers see if they could test us, but they didn’t last too long.”
After returning to the ship, Miss Gardenvale was debriefed by the security team and given a personal protection device which she hasn’t had to use since.
