Spare parts lie scattered across every available surface and parts of the floor. What appears to be a transmitter dish has been partially disassembled on one of the desks here along with a blinking computer terminal. Wrinkled printouts with frantic notes written in the margins cover another, with cups of long‑frozen tea holding a set of blueprints flat. There are several dents in wall at human shoulder height, as though someone punched the wall in frustration.
Further around there is also a dead body.
Chivix poked his head into the central quarters and decided this looked like Officer Country. Nicer furnishing and decor, anyways. He pointed out the artistic map rendition. "We're definitely following in someone's footsteps here."
Going to Engineering, he was about to open the door when Sefel stopped him. After Sefel had disabled the rune, Chivix entered, ready to search or fight, and leaning towards the latter.
"We got another body, here." Chivix moved into the room, scanning and searching, and ready for the body to rise up and attack."
Then allow me Bluuuuu responds to Jackojare as he moves forwards to try and determine what he can about the fallen figure.

The figure is definitely dead. Looks a bit like that ghost you saw actually now you think about it. A pile of equipment sits along the western wall. A set of regimental dress II, n elite semi auto pistol with a dozen rounds ,a credstick and a set of fiery runeplates. (mk2).
On the desk there is a crude surface map with annotations that make it look like it is a route to the beacon, and some technical specifications of it.
A computer blinks happily in the cold air, power obviously restored when you fixed those on the bridge.
Bugface notes that the radiation seals on his suit seem to have become deactivated.

Somebody was working on something here...
He looks up at the dent in the wall.
...and it wasn't going so well.
Sefel cranes his neck and looks over the blueprints on the table, under the tea.
After he heads over to the desk to check out the inviting computer terminal. He notices the map next to it.
Now we're getting somewhere.
"What is in this room? You don't look too good, Sefel. Let's just grab anything that isn't bolted down and look at this stuff somewhere else."
Chivix grabs the relief map and checks his suit diagnostics for radiation or some other reason why they were feeling sick.

Sefel is rapidly feeling much, much worse. He does notice that the radiation seals on his armour have become inactivated.

Seeing Sefel start to look dangerously unwell, Bluuuuu's first thought is to usher him out into the hall to get a better look at the lashunta.
Careful Sefel. get some air. The barathu looks at the others. Does anyone have any Rad-Out on them?
|
|
Whoa, yeah I just need a minute. The lashunta trudges back towards the bridge of the ship and sits at the science officer's station to collect himself.
Donovan helps to take the items and clues they've uncovered out with them, but he leaves with Sefel. "That thing at the threshold. What did it do? Are you sure you cleared it."
I-I'm pretty sure, yeah. I think something else in the room released the radiation.
Multiple radiation seals disabled though... Bluuuuu worries. that is not a coincidence. An EMP blast perhaps? Or ghosty gremlins?
The solider tries to make Sefel more comfortable, but is disheartened that he did not properly prepare for this. Turning to Donovan, he asks. The material you grabbed. I hope it is worthwhile given the cost.

The notes appear to provide a location for where the crew found the beacon, you could probably follow them. But access to the engineering computer and any information on it, will require going back in there - as would anyone wanting to do a thorough search of the area for other clues about what happened.
"Do we need the information on that computer? I didn't seem to be affected by whatever was in there, but I don't know squat about computers. Can I just grab it and drag it out here?"

The team sets up in the corridor, and can quickly check their suit seals are now intact.
Status :
Sefel 30/30 SP; 18/34 hp; 6/7RP; -4 to fort saves and con checks, radiation sickness.

Chivix double checked that his radiation seals were intact before heading back into the room to try and retrieve the computer.

Sefel shakes his head rapidly for a moment to prepare himself to focus.
He nods to Chivix. My thanks. I hope you faired better than I in your brief exposure.
Sefel then pulls the rig near him and sets out to hook it up to power.
After a moment it lights up in the (relative) safety of the bridge of the ship.
Okay, where was I...
|
|
Sefel reconnects the computer and then seeks out what treasures it might contain.
A shopping list.
A recipe for fried duck.
3291 spam emails. Apparently a prince on Akiton has credits that his family made in the thasteron business that he needs to get off world.
Ahh.. a firewall. A tough one. He might need some help to get past that...
|

Bugface collaberates and Donovan also helps and soon the Firewall falls.
You get some voice logs, and also access to some private "family" documents. It turns out that hte Xinya family owns the Bliss of Pursuit (this vessel)
