So apparently we all exploded or something? Did I get copied successfully before? If yes, do we keep the OMNI we had before or did that get blown up with the rest of the inventory?
Edit: thank you paris for the info!
In that case, do we get any of our class-specific gear back? What about the brain uploader, does it need to be rebought?
Can you give me the stats for the full body prosthetic? What about the automaton? Can these still level up stats?
How does the clone body work? Could I go into debt to get one?
As for the mission: take a gunner seat if available.
If you had a brain copy, then you're dumped into any body you have ready. If you have no body ready and not enough money to buy one, you go into debt and get dumped into a mechanical slave body. Check the arsenal for it. You lose any items you had, including starting gear.
Normally, if your body survived in any fashion, the cognition copier could be salvaged but in this case no.
The automaton, like it says, is d6 all stats. Mk.2 is d8 all stats.
Full body prosthetic basically has a point buy for setting up the stats as you like.
You can level stats but through spending money, unless you get the organic version.
Its your body, as it existed at the time of death, for the clone body. And no.
Alrighty.

And thus did some of the crew wait, motionless, hoping to fade out of the narrator's attention and gain a state of quantum immortality.
We'll see if it works. I don't keep a list of everyone on the ship so it might!
Check underneath the seats instead of sitting down. See if the previous crew left anything junk or trash behind.

Sure is dark out there. There's actually bits of what look like particulate matter drifting by every so often though. Almost like what you saw on deep sea submersible video....
Determine whether the temperature gradients are dangerous, as in you wouldn't want to be in one, or dangerous, as in the ship is in danger of being destroyed with everyone in it.
Name: Fred Williams
Physical Description: A tall and lanky engineer. Light skin, dark hair, blue eyes. Younger, mid 20's.
Background: A computer engineer who decided that his first job out of college - programming microcontrollers to be 5% more time efficient - was boring. The possibility of combat -- Like Call of Duty but more realistic (according to the recruiter) -- was all Fred needed to decide that this was the career move of a lifetime. Well... that and it came with a class 3 weapons permit. (In the US, a class 3 is the extraordinarily hard to get collector permit (read: takes years and thousands of dollars and lots of training) that allows you to own fully automatic weapons made before 1970.)
Notes: despite being a computer engineer, has an inexplicable lack of tech skills, yet can easily fix almost any mechanical problem. He has no idea why.

Fred comes to the conclusion of: "Eh, its fine. Its a space ship, its gotta be designed for temperature gradients! I mean, if the sun is on one side then that side is gonna get super hot while the other remains super cold. Gotta be used to that sort of thing, right? Right."
I attack the the darkness! ... by turning on the shuttle's external lights.
Then keep on flying towards our destination, keeping an eye on sensors to make sure I'm going the right way and for anything weird.
Name: Pathos
Physical Description: A literal crash test dummy.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident.

Pathos flips on the external lights.
The ship is moving through a canyon of sorts it seems like, ragged stone walls like stalagmite teeth rising up around them. They seem to be in some sort of dense but semi-transparent gas that is extremely thick. Thick enough that bits of particulate matter are floating through it almost like water. The lights, their cones of light clearly visible through the thick gas, glint off something metallic ahead. Its another shuttle, much like this one, that is crammed up against the rocks and clearly damaged. As the team's shuttle approaches, continuing along its predetermined path, the crashed shuttle shifts and seems to rise unnaturally from the stones. The lights sweep across the area under the ship and everyone can see...something. Its body is like glass in water: barely visible, really more just a distorted outline filled with barely visible shifting muscle and organs. The impression is that of a crab wearing the downed shuttle as a shell, but the actual shape is something beyond that, something worse. Clear eye stalks tipped with what appear to be hovering globes of reflective silver -the opaque lens perhaps- whip round and the creature moves with distressing speed towards the shuttle.
Observe the darkness.

Take one of the gun seats, be watchful for things to shoot. If such things reveal themselves, shoot them.
Name: He insists that it's "Wilfred Seven", and most definitely not "Wil" or "William"
Physical Description: He looks identical to Wil Wheaton. That's because he's an identical clone of Wil Wheaton; he actually can't even shave, or even change his hair or anything, it always grows back to the default form within a day. Scarrification might let Wilfred change his appearance, but he's not really up for that.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wheaton clones, for use in some film that he's never heard of and was never involved with; only the three "best" clones were actually selected for use in the film, while the other seven--really, the other four, three survived less than a week--were sold to OMNITECH as cheap labor. Somehow, OMNITECH decided to hire Wilfred as security, rather than just enslave him, although he's not really sure what the difference is. Notably, Wilfred's flaw that disqualified him from being selected is that his mind is nothing like the famous actor, and he actually hates being compared to the man.

Wilfred and Elen on the bottom and right side turrets are the only ones with a clear line of sight, so they open fire.
[4,1][16v7]
Wilfred's rounds go completely wild and do nothing more then shatter stone and stir up a dust cloud, but Elen's rounds are directly on target and she slashes the stream of high caliber rounds back and forth across the crab thing in an astonishingly deadly way. The creature, shattered and bleeding what looks to be a thin bluish mist, settles back to the bottom in large chunks.
Elen's turret beeps a heat warning and shuts down for a self cooling cycle.
