((Wouldn't trying to get into a room you don't IC know the number and password of be metagamey as hell and thus explicitly forbidden?))
Yes. Cost for heated, moistened fish tank? With adjustable temperature and moisture settings?
Furthermore, what would the cost of synth-hands (like synth-arms, except just hands) or synth-forearms be? Are they even available?
A token.
Gonna say you have to get the whole arm. Before people start asking for a single synthflesh finger or something.
Leave room and go to rec room.
You go to the rec Room.
Go check out the Armory.
The armory's minimalist kiosk has been expanded into a larger room. The kiosk is still there, but instead of a simple window and counter, it is now flanked by large displays which hold examples of the weapons in stock. In the back of the room is what appears to be a very oversized vending machine, which has buttons for every weapon listed in the armory. Looks like self service is on the menu, at least for standard gear.
Milno checks his wristpad for any sign of a message from Rookie about problems just after launch before approaching the concession stand, a bit lost on what to actually do. "...Do I have to buy a ticket to watch one of the current missions?" he asks the young woman.
Milno wants to watch some M19 realtime... What was the hair color of the little girl Mesk "rescued", again?
You don't remember.
"No." She says, resting her elbows on the counter. "I'm just around to control the projectors and hand out snacks." Her tone makes it obvious that she feels very...overqualified for her position. "19 is in theater 1, first one on the right."
Xan slumps down at these revelations, burying his head in his hands for some time as he processes them.
"I..."
His face itself tightens up.
"By 'powers that be' do you mean Miyamoto and the other leaders of your revolution? I would at least like to know the name of the persons who decided my fate.
May I be provided with clothing?" he continues, getting up from the table and walking toward the door of the room, his bitchfit apparently now concluded.
You can assume you wake up in a cube room, by the way. So there's clothing on the bed.
>There were a few directly involved but Hasala was the one who made the final decision. Tommy felt a bit apprehensive as he explored the hallways. This was all new to him. Being in space and on a ship, that is. He wondered if he might go to the infirmary later on, try to see what it had in store, but first things first he needed to know what was going on.
"Briefing room is up ahead, I guess."
Go to the briefing room and get debriefed. (Make sure to keep my underwear intact.)
Debriefed about what? You haven't been on a mission. You can assume you have IC knowledge of the general status of things around here. Or you can just ask a random person.

A tall, heavily built man of indeterminate age. He has dark hair and muttonchops, both beginning to gray. He usually appears slightly disheveled, but friendly enough.
Elias always liked to lead a fairly uneventful life. Born and raised on a remote and relatively primitive moon, he worked as a butcher and pig-farmer for most of his life. Unfortunately, after discovering valuable radioactive minerals, the UWM became interested in the world, and took more direct control of the settlement and it's citizens. As increasing numbers of miners and government officials arrived, food dwindled, and resentment of the newcomers grew rapidly. After the natives began to starve, they were forced to consume the only thing that they had in abundance: the miners. Eventually the body count grew dangerously high, and some of Shrike's partners-in-crime turned on him. Within a week of the first accusations, he was found guilty and sent to the HMRC.
Looks alright at a glance. Welcome aboard!
[wiki] People, please create this guy a page.
Find the remote and flip through channels for DMR reruns. See about making bugs with extra sensory abilities like sensing heat signatures and electrical impulses.
[1] Well you fail that and now you're feeling kinda hungry.
You grab the remote control and flip through the channels, looking for DMR reruns. You find a whole channel devoted to it; but the contestants playing right now aren't anyone you recognize.
14:19 <Piecewise>: Someone tell irony that if faith doesn't start wandering around soon. particularly into the infirmary so we can get full body scans, I'm going to steal her body and use it for nefarious purposes
((Haha welp))
Wake up, everything is fine. Everything is perfectly fine. Just to be ultra sure that everything is perfectly fine, stagger into the infirmary and ask if everything is fine.
I'm gonna start putting an inactivity timer on people and then recycling the ones that have gone brain dead. You guys have goodies in your bodies and the Doc wants'em.
You're physically fine but we'd like scans of your brain. We want to see if we can isolate Erik in there. Maybe copy him.

A few things... first, the Boss wanted me to get myself and what we brought back checked out after the... computer incident on the Heist. He'd like to figure out if something is wrong with me that allowed it to get created, given that all we bought was normal electronics. We brought back pictures of the device and as much of the data storage as we could salvage, in the hopes that it would help figure this out.
Chat with Steve about the device.
>Well, you'd need to go to the infirmary for them to figure out if something is wrong with you. But we shipped the remains of and data about the machine to heph already. They'll be the ones to tell you.Password: 88378218
Also Phoebe try go to the Armory and get a laptop again.
You get yourself a datapad, which is more like a tablet then a laptop, but you can get it for free.
Jesse looks around the room with slight distaste, he'd seen better bedrooms than this in slums, and that was after he'd came in to beat the crap out of whatever idiot was late on their payments that week. He sighs, and mumbles something as he walks over to see whatever that numpad did.
"Really, whoever designed this room has absolutely no taste. A child could have come up with something that wasn't as absolutely dull as this."
Jesse types in the room number ***, and password ************. When that is done he goes to check out the ship's armory.
The ship's armory is as described to Hap earlier in this post. We'll assume you find it was well.
Gorat looks at the signs, stumbling over what several of them might be, but one sticks out in particular.
Let's see what this Pantheon thing is.
Str 0; Dex -1; End 0; Cha +1; Mind +2 [10/15]; Fate +1; Itu 0//Han -2; Con +1; Unc -1; Exo +3; Aux +1 [5/10]; Med -1; Gen 0
Mk II Suit; Microwave PK Amp; Mass manip PK Amp; laser rifle (fired once); 7 tokens: normal cigarettes; blue smokes; datapad (with platformer shooter); nanoghosts; shock trigger (with me); white skin-tight node-covered black-shell stasis suit worn under Mk II.
Appearance: 5'11'', 170 pounds in a rather unmuscular frame, shoulder-long brown hair, short goatee, brown eyes, a rather long chin that earned him his nickname. Age 32
Half a robot foot. Robot right arm. Wears basic clothes when not in the Mk II.
Lars was in charge of this one, so I'll just repost his notes here.
(Front entrance and side entrance- Front goes to hallway and side goes to Memorial)
Pathmas is represented on the ceiling, to display the position as an over-god. A mural with his image as center, with written prayer surrounding him. The prayers are vague, as is the tradition.
The first statue from the main door is Algis. He is standing with many of his hands shielding a tiny ARM soldier. There is room under the hands for someone to crawl in and hide.
Next is Cog-azaon, surrounded by plaques detailing the knowledge found by the Sword.
Third is Kal-Rath, taller than the other statues. Around her head is a glow, and fresh human blood appears to be splattered up her arms. Around her are corprses; one it looks like just got its back snapped over her knee.
The last statue is of Fal; a statue that is constantly in motion, providing the illusion that it is a statue constructing itself. Screens are below it displaying constantly changing scientific formulae.
Wall with side entrance is dedicated to the gods of the Medic Pantheon. Each god is given a painting and a place to pay tribute. Emar-i stands by the door to the Memorial, to ward off his patients from death.
Somewhere on the Medic wall is this plaque:
Spoiler: Plaque (click to show/hide)
"Because of the nature of the Medic's pantheon, some in combat positions co-opt the symbols and names of the various gods for offensive purposes. For instance, Placing Sim-de's symbol on tanks of poison to make it more effective or Sulf'ada-zon's symbol on napalm bombs to ensure wide spread burning.
While such action have proven erratic in their effectiveness, when they do seem to work, the effects are devastating, both to the target and often to the soldier. It is recommended that the worshiper not use the gods outside of their prescribed roles, as the consequences may be dire."
Opposite wall is the Soldier's Pantheon. The Soldier Gods are represented in a giant mural, with each taking their appropriate part in a giant battle against faceless foes. Ahnubi, God of Death, is facing the door to the Memorial, ever watching it.
The Engineer's Pantheon covers the back and front walls, with paintings and constructed figures. In the center of the back wall is the image of Hal-Mon, who- despite being a machine- appears to be observing the statue of Fal to ensure it is in good working order.
Behind the back wall is a small room. Here are altars and benches for prayer, with all the necessary essentials for ceremonies. There is a small table with a bowl and paper. Prayers can be written on the paper, then thrown into the bowl. The bowl contains a flame which burns the prayer to send it on its way. Also in this room are displays, containing the Bust of Saint Milno, Sir Milno the Snark, and the Arm of Steve.
Behind this is a very small alcove, containing tiny memorials to the gods of which little is known. Jiffty Rube is stuck back here as well.
Finally, above the front door, set back a bit, is a statue of the synthflesh avatar of Steve. He is watching over all who come in, but in a way that you do not see him at first. On his face is a slight smirk.
The statue can be slid back into an alcove so that the real Steve Avatar can hide there if he so pleases and impersonate the statue.
