Sector 4A, Station 6487-18

You awaken in your ship's sleeping pod in this space station, where you came to sell some random assorted goods that were picked up. Your vision is still a little fuzzy as you slide the glass pod door open and step out into the bedroom. It looks like your engineer is already awake, though your co-pilot is still in the pod. You step out into the main hallway, where the entrance hatch is open and a ladder leads downwards. The cockpit is to your left, storage room across the way, and engine room to your right. You can hear the some machinery clanking from somewhere in this hangar. What do you do?

Spoiler: A little history (click to show/hide)

This game takes place in the future, as you can tell. Currently, warp drives are invented, although they are only on larger ships. Smaller ships generally take shuttles with them. Most weapons are railguns, which can also shoot heated rods, which tend to have a shorter range. No sentient alien species have been discovered, although thousands of non-sentient ones have been discovered. Humanity is spread across numerous nations, for which I am too lazy to come up with any names right now. _{Feel free to suggest names}

You have one railgun mounted on the bottom, with 200 metal rods to fire.

Since nobody else seems up to it, it's time for three of Lyeos' Crappy Characters™, or Why You Don't Let a Guy That Spends Five Minutes on Things Make Characters.

Name: Vivian Markov
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Backstory: Despite daughter of one of the most respected space pirates in history, Vivian grew up with her mother in the socialist Noyele Empire - which, she assures everyone, wasn't nearly as good as it was made out to be, and boring to boot. Seven years ago, her father died of a brain tumor, leaving her nothing but his spare ship and the family name. Having always been more "mischievous" than the empire liked, she decided to (sort of) follow in her father's footsteps along with her less reputable friends, with the only difference being that she would be a Chaotic Good mercenary!

Co-pilot's Name: Elliot Karville
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Skills, 2:
Flying the $&@? ship.
Small arms.
Backstory, if you want (not mandatory):
Elliot grew up in the rough equivalent of the slums in the same city as Vivian, and became a drug dealer at a young age to help put food on the table for his parents and siblings. Outside of his dealings, he hung with Vivian, causing minor mischief such as vandalizing government buildings, but as his siblings finally got old enough - and we're capable of - supporting themselves, he tried to get out of the game. One last deal, they told him, and he was free to go - except someone told the police exactly when and where it was going down. He got away, but now was a wanted criminal - he had to kill one of the cops to get away - and so hid on Vivian's ship, and is actually the one that convinced her to leave when she did.

Engineer's Name: Kacy Leyone
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Skills, 2:
Demolitions
Appraising
Backstory, if you want (not mandatory):
Heck, even the others on the crew don't know what's up with her - and she doesn't seem in the mood to tell. Rarely speaking, she just showed up to the other two's crimes and helped out - in fact, she just showed up the day they were going to leave and "asked" to be allowed to go with them. She's totally related to one of the higher-ups, yep.

You need an action, as well. Edit: I will wait an hour, so 8:00 my time.

[Lyeos]

Wake up the Co-Pilot!
There.

[~Neri]

Wake up the Co-Pilot!
There.

Yus.

[Alev]

You decide to wake up Elliot, so you walk back to the sleeping chambers. "Wake up!" you say as you tap on his pod. A few seconds later, the glass door slides open and he opens his eyes. He says, "Good morning," to which you respond that it is technically early afternoon. You clamber down the ladder and out from the shadow of the ship, with Elliot following you. There is a store to your left, a bar to your right, the hangar door behind you, and rental sleeping quarters in front of you. What do you do?

Spoiler: Ship Supplies (click to show/hide)

• 2 Rifles [32 ammo]
• 1 Explosives Launcher [2 ammo]
• Water [14 days]
• Food [12 days]
• Space Suit [1]
• Knives [5]
• Light Body Armour [2]
• Repair Supplies [2]{Single-use}
• Fuel [100%]
• Propellant [100%]
• 948 Standard Credits {Stored Electronically}

((Feel free to post multiple successive actions per turn, and this will probably be it for today.))

[Lyeos]

Get Kacy and see if anyone wants to head to the store. Of course, they're free to go to the bar as well, but considering you have quarters on the ship, despite not being glamorous, using the rental sleeping quarters is probably not a terribly great use of money.

[Alev]

Also, I need appearances (including clothing/etc) for the crew members so I can make some actual sprites.

[Lyeos]

Guess what time it is again?! (Hint, see my first post here)

Well, naturally Vivian is, like her father, a bit plump and a person of color, and also got his vivid red hair - kept shoulder length - and her mother's blue eyes. She dresses nicely, but a bit like a man - button up gray shirt, black dress pants, and black leather shoes.

Elliot's basically the whitest guy you know, in terms of skin color - thick glasses over his green eyes, platinum blonde hair, shirts with "witty" phrases on them, blue jeans and sneakers... Did I mention he has a bionic left arm? Yep, he lost that arm a few years back, but got it replaced, obviously.

Kacy keeps herself covered with what could be described as a trenchcoat with a hood, and a bright orange scarf wrapped around her neck and mouth - she shares Vivian's preferences for lower-body clothing and footwear. The hair that shows is dark brown, and her eyes are a light gray.

PTW!

Yes.

Recall what the Random-Assorted-Goods (TM) we were moving were. Then go sell the RAGs at the store with any of our crew who can be bothered to come along. Then see what Points of Interest there are on this thing.

It's amazing, I love it!
I have no idea how to resize, though. I can go dig through some threads to find a way, if you want.

I saw it somewhere a while ago when I was lurking, I will search for it.
