Kit finds that most of the cabinets are locked. She doesn't have any tools she could use, but the cabinets are mostly plastic alloy so she tries forcing them. [STR15+0] She snaps the cover off of one. [INT9+0] She's not sure if this is the right cabinet but she searches it anyway. [INT7+0] She finds a single pamphlet and begins to read it.
That's not it. Kit, confused, looks around the room. [INT4+0]
How can you tell? There's no time for me to explain everything you must keep looking! There are two more cabinets in the room aside from the one you tore open.
You move over to the med bed. You can see John writhing beneath the glass. The medical bed is automated and can take care of his injuries. Anything you could possibly do it can do far better. You try comforting him instead, figuring that its the only way you can help from here. [CHA16+0] You press your hand against the glass and talk to him, trying to get John to focus on your voice. It seems to take his mind off the pain and John's struggling lessens a bit.
John's injuries will not worsen this turn.Alek takes his hands from the object he was feeling and shakes his head a bit to see if his cyber will start working again. [STR8+1] His vision remains dark, despite his efforts. Alek hasn't had this
particular problem before, but he's a bit experienced in being blind. For example, during the months while he was recovering from his operation, and whenever he has regular maintenance or an upgrade. As such he's also practiced in fiddling with his cyber without needing to see it.
If he could somehow figure out what was wrong, he might be able to fix it. He could crack open the cyber himself, but he'd need someone else who at the very least knew what they were looking at.
John does his best to lie still to prevent worsening his injuries, which he is now sure are internal. [AutoSuccess] Isabel's presence helps him calm down, and John finally manages to collect his thoughts. His wounds were definitely sustained during the teleportation procedure. Teleporting has always been quite risky, which is why the devices have always been located no more than ten feet from automatic medical instruments. Today John is feeling decidedly unlucky. Everyone always gets a piece taken out of them during a teleport, but its rare that its ever more serious than a bit of flesh or some easily replaced bone. No one has said anything just yet, but its patently obvious that John has taken at the very least some minor organ damage. Pain lances through his abdomen and his thoughts abandon his mind like a frightened bird taking wing.
ZAP!! Xy'thy was teleported into the Lab! [CON15+0] The
alien clearly hooman male is 'ported onto one of the metal tables in the Lab. He's bleeding a bit from one of his lower arms. He stirs and begins to wake.
ZAP!! Kyle was teleported into the Lab! [CON20+0] Kyle appears completely unharmed and perfectly awake inside one of the medical cabinets. He gropes around until he finds the handle on the inside and unlocks it, falling out and onto the floor along with most of the contents of the cabinet.

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.
