Holy crap.

Well, the elevator is air-locked. Anyone who can't get in there with the door closed next turn will start getting sucked into space.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Meta: Throw the shield away from the spider, then attempt to BE Batman

Fantasy: Now that the outside world isn't distracting me, perfect control over my own biological processes and go into a state of suspended animation, reducing the rate at which I breathe and (more importantly) my heart rate.

Yes, but that's not really an action you can fail at badly enough to get yourself killed in any situation.

Excellent. I hope some spots are cleared soon.

Edit: When did you add that the occupation had to be IRL?

That was there from the beginning. It still doesn't have to make much sense, it just has to be an occupation that someone could conceivably have in real life.

I'm certain one of you explored the ship at some point. So while we wait, why not take a look at your brand new sloop?!

Your new sloop comes with deluxe sleeping quarters (a tattered hammock), a crow's nest, sails made of the finest *cough* Razaelian silk, a brig, coffers, and a complimentary rowboat! All this for under 500 gold?! I must be CRAAAAZZZY. All it needs now is a name.

Alright, just need bowdown's action for the next turn.

I wish I had made a poll for this topic. I'll just go with general consensus once everyone's gotten a word in on the ship name.

RW: Order spider to shut down all nonessential systems and focus on returning to me.
(...) You shout at the mecha-spider to shut down all non-essential systems. It complies, and attempts to return to the elevator!

META:Shout encouragement to my companions, encouraging them to get in the freaking elevator!  Push button so the door closes just before the force-field goes down, regardless of the location of comrades.  Bemoan lost comrades, if necessary.
(...) "GET IN THE GODDAMN ELEVATOR OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH YOUR OWN BROKEN LEG!!!"
Everyone in the elevator stares at you for a moment. You prepare to close the elevator door, and...

Meta: Throw the shield away from the spider, then attempt to BE Batman
(...) You toss the shield across the hangar, and it begins zooming wildly around the room! Just then the force-field loses power and the entire hangar shudders as the contents are sucked into the vacuum of space! (...) With a single bound, the mecha-spider flies into the elevator! Hundreds of metal shards fly past as you slam into the back wall of the elevator and the doors close behind you.
