GM Hama's Colony Ship

Game Master Hama

"Cutting a wire cuts power to some circuit. So if we got a dead circuit, nothing we can do about it." Aileen shrugged. But it got her thinking. "But you might be on to something after all. Actually, all we really need to do is make sure the hydraulics release, and we should be fine. Crossing the wires, just with liquids instead of electrons."

She quickly got to work

Aileen, you're not tall enough to reach the top of the door yourself, but sitting on someone's shoulders should do the trick. After some effort, you manage to pry off the small panel and locate a cable with hydraulics printed on the isolation. Ripping it out from it's socket produces a satisfactory gurgling sound of emptying liquid, inside the wall.

Eli lends his shoulders as a perch for the doctor so she can reach the controls. As he hears the gurgling of the fluid, Eli helps the doctor down, then moves to try and open the door.

Two halves of the door slide to the sides of the passage with ease revealing a hallway.
The hallway is straight and mostly unlit, unless you count several still working rotating red emergency lights. A smell assails your nostrils, it is unpleasant and stale. You can't quite put a finger on it. There are branching hallways to either side of yours and several doors embedded in the wall. You can see the reflection of the ceiling lights in a large puddle on the floor in front of you. The puddle slightly ripples.

"This is not good. Not good at all" Aileen mumbled. She bent down to examine the puddle. Stale air meant one of two things - shot re-oxigenization plant - which would be bad. Worse would be depletion by over-consumption. Too many people being awake, too little oxigen retrieved by the plants. Plain old resource depletion. Figuring out which it was and what they might do remained as pressing as ever.

The puddle is clear, and you can see the floor through the reflection. It also does not produce any odor that you can smell.

Eli will cautiously move out into the hall. Skirting around the puddle, he will look at the first door he comes to...is it also sealed? Are there any markings??

"Gunny, do you have any cybernetics?" Cluade asks, "If not I think I might make a better point man, as I can see a bit better than most."

He nods towards the doctor, " Besides she might need a boost or something again."

"After you then sir!" Eli says as he waits for Claude to take point

The first door to the right stands slightly ajar, as it isn't a bulkhead door like the one you just went through. The room is completely dark.

Door to the first room to the left is closed.

Aileen stayed back during this initial foray, clearly not being at her forte.

"Lights are out, terrain is clear, door left closed." Claude notes to Eli, "Door right slightly ajar, not a bulkhead."

"Check!", he replies.
Moving up to the right door.", he adds as he quickly moves to the side of the door. He quickly looks into the space beyond.

The would be completely dark if not for the emergency light that flashes inside. It seems to be a maintenance closet, with various tools and uniforms needed for maintenance.
Some of the more obvious stuff:
- 6 flashlights with two boxes of power packs (lasts loong)
- 4 sets of maintenance uniforms made from sturdy materials with lots of pocket. They favor function over form.
- Various cleaning implements
- 1 toolbox

If you're interested in anything else that should be in a maintenance closet (your judgement) just ask.

"Gunny flashlights," Claude turns one on flashing it back towards the room they had exited while keeping it out of his vision -- the optical upgrade wasn't traditional cyber and therefore didn't have a convenient mode change, instead relying on semi-natural eye adjustment for the lighting, something he didn't want to ruin with a bright flash, "Have the doctor come up here and see if there are any chemicals or what not she might have a use for -- medical, weaponized or otherwise."

While the moved Basil kept an eye down the hallway and on the liquid on the floor for ripples coming their way that might mean that something is moving towards them, "Either remember if they had much in the way of mobile automatons on this ship?"

Any brooms or mops with sturdy handles or the like that we could use a club or staff?

Eli nods his agreement and heads back for the doctor. He explains what they have found so far and asks if there might be anything in the closet she can use. Eli helps himself to a set of work clothes, as well as 2 flashlights. He also takes the toolbox. (What is in it?? Traditional sort of stuff?)

Eli, the toolbox is one of those collapsible things that opens up into several compartments of varying sizes and depths. It also has a set of collapsible "legs" that it can be placed on to be in easy reach.
Most of regular tools can be found in it: screwdrivers with modular heads, clippers and tongs of varying sizes, a monkey wrench, wrenches, wire, screws, the works. It also contains a circuit analyzer, a nailgun with a pack of nails and a PDA.
Claude, the liquid is the hydraulic liquid, which leaked from the wall in which it was released, it is maybe finger deep. As for anything sturdy, there is several lengths of pipe in one corner, they look about the right length and girth to be used as batons. There are several mops and brooms as well.

Aileen wordlessly began to inspect the toolbox, raising her shoulders. "Some of this is going to be useful, sure. Its not going to work any miracles, but hanging on to it might still be a good idea - some, if not all of the more advanced systems of the Da Vinci hadn't weathered the centuries quite as well as she'd have hoped

I apologize for not posting, i've had some family issues of late. They will hopefully be resolved in a day or so, and i will post as often as i could. I hope you're still on board :D

No problem..will still be here :-)

Dead and gone
