I have a problem and am looking for ideas...

My character is trying to kill a guarded prisoner on our spaceship. The prisoner is a strong psionic, who has in the past tried to kill most of the crew at one time or another as he wants our hi-tec ship. We even have documented evidence of some of the attempts! 

Yet I am the only one who wants to kill him.

I have tried poisoned food which was discovered, now his food is prepped by one of the guards 

I am not allowed to visit him.

Any suggestions? The GM is aware that I am going to try at least once each session 

Cheers
Ian

Interfere with life-support, while creating a plausible and serious-looking diversion elsewhere?

Blow up the skin on the part of the ship he is on
Arrange a failure of air supply
Biological agent on the guard
Redirect some space junk into the ship
Hack into the ship's computer and use that to kill him

Introduce an Alien or two into the ship
Suborn a guard


What's his psionic power?

Not entirely sure on his psionic ability, but he can attack with it. He is is drugged/unconcious at the moment

The ship is a bit Blakes 7ish

Cheers

Seduce one of the other players who controls a guard, take photographs, and threaten to reveal them to his or her partner and colleagues unless the prisoner meets with an accident.

Why have you not been locked up for attempted murder?

Don't think I'm the one to ask about this.

As several GMs have found, to the cost of their campaigns, my solutions tend to involve things like inducing a sudden, catastrophic failure of the engines/ power plant/ armoury leading to the vaporisation of the ship and the need for all players to create new characters.

I am the reason one GM changed systems from Traveller to Paranoia!

Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: Well, if she doesn't get us some extra flow from the engine room to offset the burn-through, this landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Define "interesting."
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: [Deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [Grabs PA microphone] This is the captain. We're having a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
[Hangs up microphone]
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Can you shave the vector?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: I'm doing it, it's not enough.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Well, just get us on the ground.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: That part'll happen pretty definitely.

Lack of proof and good alibi 

I like creeping, metal eating bacteria.

Do nothing for five of six sessions, apart from completely ignoring the psycher.
Then when they've forgotten your grudge, knife time?

Fat suit a la "Total Recall"?

Are there any escape pods on the ship ?
If yes....Set the ship to auto destruct and escape.

Everybody dies, except you.....You win.
(Simplest ideas are the best.)

High risk but how about interfering with his drug supply so that he becomes so dangerous that the crew have to kill him to survive? Meanwhile, you keep out of the way (unless you get a good opportunity to slot him). Then, if things get too dicy while he is running amok throughout the ship, adopt Phil's plan. You then have a plausible (?) excuse for such drastic action.  


Why not ask Wile E. Coyote? He's usually got good ideas.

Turn the guards against him.
