KSH ...
whirrrrr-whirrrrrThe four of you awaken strapped to metal slabs. A deep, pleasant male voice greets you, and your groggy minds struggle to grab on to what he's saying.
Good evening Scouts. It pauses.
It does appear that you have all arrived safely. The straps pop off and retract with a zip into the slabs. [DARKPAL~2+1] Johnathan lurches, rolls over and vomits a bit of blood onto the floor. He coughs miserably and begins to feel light-headed, then he vomits again. [FUNK~16+1] Isabel feels a bit woozy, but it quickly passes. [BSNOTT~6+1] Alek's Lenshed cyber sparks and you grunt as your head receives an electric shock.
OW! Your vision flickers and then goes out entirely. Your eyes continue to spark, and your vision returns periodically only to blink out again. You can still see enough to move around, but its a pain. [LEGNLO~18+1] Kit feels a bit drowsy. You kinda want to go back to sleep.. *yawn*
Perhaps I spoke too soon. Would those of you that aren't hurt please help John into the med bed? His condition seems quite serious. The med bed is in one corner of the lab. It has a glass screen over the top of it that has to be shifted before someone can be lifted onto it. There's a terminal beside the bed that's meant for operating it's tools.

[Background] >Has minor credit at university level in astronomy as well as in starguiding

SHIP>Dorms. Cryo pods double as bunks to save space. Food making/eating area is seperated by a good amount of space.
>Lab isn't extensive. Limited to secure containment for various organic and inorganic specimens in the form of special containers located in a storage area. There is also a teleporter. More on that later. Specimen storage is a secure room separate from the lab proper, which is the medical bay.
>Command and Control (CnC) is the observation room. The Ops console manages things like sensors and external cameras, as well as comms. There is a Pilot's Cradle for manual flight. There is a systems terminal here for diagnosing problems with the ship.
>Holds. This is where cargo and most other kit goes. This is also where the main airlock is for landing and embarking. If you need a mental image imagine the hangar in the Deathstar, except not so freaking tall and much wider. You guys have a pair of shuttles that are entry capable. There aren't any escape pods.
>Preparation. This is where your null suits are, as well as exoskeletons and maneuvering gear. Weapons are also here. If you need to make repairs outside the ship there are also cutters and other tools.
>Engineering. This is where the TriCore is. You've got three separate cores linked by corridors and a large cooling system. Core1 is the Fusion Reactor, used to engage FTL and also as the primary means of propulsion and maneuvering. Core2 is the reserve Nuclear Reactor which powers most of the ship and can be used to provide extra propulsion in an emergency, should Core1 malfunction or the vessel requires a burst of speed. Core3 is where the AI is housed. There is a systems terminal here for diagnosing problems with the ship. There are assorted tools here for general maintenance.
