The team slowly stalks the deserted corridors of the dead ship. Footsteps echo eerily off blasted metal bulkheads and the flickering red emergency lighting doesn't help much at all.
Still, which way is forward is more or less obvious, and the team arrays itself before what is presumably the doors into the bridge.

Oh, and lets have a perception check for while you were having a short break.

As usual, deserted ships are a little eerie. They're such enclosed spaces and one can only imagine the numerous souls that stalked these corridors before... whatever when wrong.
The lashuna's antennae rub together momentarily while he ponders and trudges forward.

Do not worry. Statistically speaking, eventually Starfinder agents like us should eventually come across a downed vessel that is not haunted, merely the new home to a local species. Bluuuuu broadcasts to set Sefel at ease.
As in the hallways, blast marks scorch the walls and ceiling here. The starboard duty stations are badly damaged and appear to have been electrically overloaded. Blood stains spatter the seats at those posts, but no bodies are present, though bloody streaks in the floor indicate they may have been moved. The monitor at the pilot’s station appears to have exploded, leaving the seat riddled with debris and covered with blood and even some frozen pieces of bone. Additional shrapnel appears to have reached the captain’s station. The port duty stations remain intact except for one cracked monitor.
All sorts of checks you might want to do here. I'll leave them up to your imagination to start with.
But lets get a perception from everyone while we are doing other stuff.
Sefel quickly notices that the computers will need to have power routed to them in order to work. Anyone going to lead on an engineering check?
With Donovan giving a hand, Sefel quickly reestablishes power to the computer. He finds the crews logs... with a bit more work you may be able to also find some navigation data...

While Sefel focuses on the ship's computers, Bluuuuu examines the gory signs left behind, trying to determine how fresh the blood is - and is the trail indicates someone crawled away themselves, or seems to have been dragged by an outside force.

A bit more work meaning get aid on computers, or re-roll it after the engineering check?
@Sefel, another check. You passed the first one, but there is a lot to discover here.
Chivix notices a satchel lying under the captains station shrapnel ridden seat. It holds a small medal, like the sort that would be pinned to a uniform. The medal is shaped in the form of a blooming lotus flower, spitting out flames.
A quick check would show is is magical, if anyone is doing that type of check routinely.
Also within the satchel is a credstick with a small note attached "reserve funds".
Bugface, casting his eyes about notices something strange. While most of the cabin has a thin coating of ice on it, the fire suppressant system is specifically not frozen over. There is a small light blinking next to it.
The blood smears leave the cabin and go back out into the hall you entered by, but vanish there. Jackojare suspects some type of automated cleaning system may have still been functioning to scrub them. The marks themselves make it look as if the bodies were likely dragged rather than moving under their own steam.

"Let me see." Donovan has spent his life in different military organizations. He might be familiar with the medal.

Statistics are a wonderful thing. One statistic is that the freezing gel of the fire suppression system seems to operate at around 250K. That is more than a little uncomfortably cold.
You are aware of this as that is the ambient temperature your suits register just before they are covered in it. Ouch, that stings.
cold damage everyone but Jack:6d12 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 5, 9, 3) = 23Reflex DC 16 for half
Not that the suits seem to be keen on doing anything other than blinking just at the moment.
Those who fail the above reflex find themselves staggered due to frozen armor, Fort DC 14 to avoid
Of course, bad things come in threes, or at least twos, for at this stage, a very dead creature appears and jumps at Jack.

Bad thing (init 15)
Bluuuuu takes the suppression system's blast full on, but the barathu manages to moves forwards nonetheless to block the doorway and prevent the corpse-thing from reaching his staggered comrades.
Drawing out his new chains as he moves, the solider stabs at the undead while calling out Oh well. The odds the next abandoned ship is not haunted went up then. Now, what is this thing?
With 5 Cold Resistance, Chivix only takes 18 cold damage, despite the failed save
"Don't worry, Jack, I'm coming!" Chivix called out to his bug friend as he raced out of the bridge and into the hall. As he moved, an energy shield blossomed from his left arm. It formed into a large riot shield and he held it up in front of him.
Double move, and call my entropic shield into place. +1 AC for now
It stabs at Chiv with a nasty knife.

I am unfortunately presuming you are one of the crew of this ship? Bluuuuu tries to get a response from the undead even as he striks it. Do you have a name? Was there a task this ship was doing that could put you to rest?

"This craft may have belonged to a criminal syndicate. Does he have any distinguishing marks or anything?" Jackojare shoots it again. "Does what's left of him have any distinguishing marks or anything?"
The dead mans suit looks like a pretty standard set of battle armor Kasatha microcord and an odd cloak.
However as you start to look through his equipment a horrible moan echos down the hallway!

Chivix heard the moaning sound and started looking around. "Sounds like we have another friend coming. Thaw out quick, Sef. Or wait a moment and warm yourself in combat!"
Chivix lifted his shield and turned, looking for the source of the threat.

I am not sure. What sort of marks would... Bluuuuu's question is cut off as the strange sound echoes about. Spinning in the air, the barathu tries to locate the source of the noise.
Double moving down the corridor the undead seems to have come from (already moved on the map). Bluuuuu's already in his second Move action, but so far has just moved 35 feet to get to the corridor. Depending on what he sees around it he may continue.
