I am Diana, friend of the humans that visited your ship. It's yours, right? We didn't know that and will leave it soon

This is not my ship. I am, like you, just a guest, a lone traveller looking for a ride. However, I'm afraid that just as you didn't have any permission to enter, I'm afraid I can't let you leave.
 
Shipside, the teams are still gathering samples. Aside from some leftover bits of humans, they manage to find a broken lasgun, and perhaps most interestingly, a list of numbers for the ship intercom. However, you don't remember this type of ship to posses an arena, wild animal cages and combatant lodges. Seems like it has had an interesting history. Suddenly, both teams are rudely interrupted by a series of small explosions and metalic noises. They rush towards the airlock, only to find that someone or something has triggered the lockdown protocol, sealing the door and melting the internal locks shut.

In order to make things were worse, a series of screeches clearly indicates that there's something alive out there, and that, quite probably, it wants to eat you.

The supply ship that normally provides food and other supplies to a number of colonies in the outer rim has never arrived. In order to prevent an impeding food shortage, the Jaltan colonies have decided to travel to the inner systems (or as close as you can get within a reasonable timeframe) in order to oversee the deliverance of supplies themselves. They know need someone to take the supplies back to their colonies.

The Oddysea coorporation is willing to give a large bounty to whomever is willing to look for their lost Jumpship Surveyor, which is apparently lost somewhere beyond the known systems. The last message dates back to 2 weeks ago, and seems to indicate a problem with their primary jump drive. (Message delivered by partly fragmented Jump drone*)

Many traditionall shipping compagnies have refused to do cargo runs towards planets near the Quarantined zone, fearing that another increase of the Quarantine might lock them in. As such, the planets near the zone are undersupplied, and many people are trying to leave.

There's still the investigation of the station near the Galven system.

A colony ship heading for the outer rim is trying to buy some cheap protection. They haven't got much, and their ship is completely undefended, and largely unarmored.

An archeology site near the Galven system has gone silent. Their main benefactor would like you to check up on them, to see if everything's alright.

-Outer scrapyard: A more dangerous place, since ships are actively dumped here and the automated droid patrols make harvesting harder [Illegal to be here]
-Scrapyard borders: Sometimes scrap floats outside of the scrapyard, allowing everyone nearby free pickings.
-Galven III orbital habitation station: The majority of this sector resides here, or on the planet below. Due to the risk of an epidemic and a paranoid governement, planet acces is strongly limited, hence the creation of the orbital hub.
-Galven III Trade hub: This station includes a repair station, and has some governement officials. You probably could get your ship registered here.

A large Alliance Cruiser, dating back to the war. Modified and refitted by the crew. The ship's painted in light blue, with several spots and stripes added to aid in visual deception. There are several fake spots on the wings, and stripes to make the ship appear longer. The Engines are painted in a blue/white combination, matching the color of the engine exhaust(in space, in the air it's quite obvious if the engines are on or not). The top bridge is flanked by 2 stars, painted in orange and black. On the sides, the name of the ship is painted in big friendly letters.

If you want an action executed by the crew, just type and bold it. If you want it to be done by your character, please explicitedly state so, and use bold +Italics.
Character actions might be ignored during conflicts or for secret GM reasons.

Anyway, going to list combat modifiers just because I can. These are not used in the previous encounter, because the system wasn't ready. These can be subject to additional modifiers from player actions.

For targetting:
Cruiser class weaponry: - 4
No targetting computer: -1
Laser weaponry: +2
Plasma weaponry: +4
MQ targetting sensor: +1 (No sensor= -2)
Evasive manoevres: +2 (Requires thrusters)
Cruiser: -2
Frigate: -1
Corvette:0

Damage:
Cruiser class weaponry: + 4
Depends on rail gun ammo: +X
Cruiser class medium armor: +6
armor damage: -2

Spoiler: Newer note (click to show/hide)

The suits don't have a computer. They're emergency suits, never intended for long term professionall usage. Be happy that they have a radio.

Freqhopping using one would be hard, for that matter. Not impossible, just annoying.

Dropping down to a kneel and shouldering her weapon. "To risky. I'll manage us a way out. Be ready to ventilate this hellhole when we leave..." Switches channel to team comm. "Lucky us. It's something that bleeds. We know how to deal with things that bleed. Nastasi, Set us up an escape route in the middle of that pressure lock. Here you will need these, everyone else form up, try to find some cover, there are a couple of bulkheads that can work over there." Shia tosses her satchel charges to Nastasi before directing economy of her troops. She switches back to He's comms. "Head over here, I think I found us an exit plan..."

[Aseaheru]

Woo! do that and ill stop annoying you for a month! Lets go!

"If it bleeds, you can kill it.

((Ooh, sorry I haven't been here.  I hate to use the "I was on narcotics" excuse... but yeah.  I was just too damn lazy to read ten pages, apparently.  Well, I thought the last page I read was 30, but still.  Whoops.  Also, I know it's a tad late, but I did say I would be on any away teams in the future.  It's half my job title and all.  Could I be on one of these two?  Shia's, if I have to make a choice.))

((Edited, you were there all along))

"Please, explain why can't you let my friends out?" 

I'm afraid the airlock lockdown protocol is irrevocable. Even if I wished to save your friends, I can't. And why would I?

[Aseaheru]

It has a point.

[Thecard]

Charlie quickly runs to the cover Shia indicated. 
"Guys, you're probably going to want to plug your ears!
And shut your eyes!
And make sure to keep your mouths shut!
And curl up i-"
He is silenced by a cold glare from one of the team's irritated soldiers.
"Sorry.  Just a bit nervous."

Max anxiously glanced around from his position at the controls, suddenly realising something.
'hey! What's the status on the crawler?'

That is a good question. it appears to have gone missing.

Ebbor, for future refference, when we get a chance, I am going to ask for a bit of history regarding small arms and armor in this future as well as the more common outfittings in what was federation troops as well as just common weapons that float around nowadays. I would like a bit of history regarding, balistic, energy, chemical weapons and body armors as well as any other gadgets I may need to know about. After all, I should know a bit about these things, if only a bit.
