The American government has decided that, after the recent discovery of transport by way of warp space, that they will build a spaceship to explore the cosmos. After a great deal of outrage from other countries, a compromise has been reached. The ship will be built and christened in America, while the crew will come from "civilized" countries all around the world.
You are these crewmen, having just arrived at the launch pad of the new craft in Cape Canaveral after passing through various and numerous forms of security. It is up to you to pilot, repair, take secret missions from your government, and generally not screw up on this ship, now known across the globe as the Togetherness. This is going to be run in (what I've seen is) the typical RTD style with a D6. If I'm missing anything or screw up, don't hesitate to throw me a PM about it.
Invention of new weapons, armor, and other equipment is going to be necessary to survive the bleak landscape of Space and some outer planets. So the U.S. has seen fit to equip the ship with a Quantum Combiner - nobody really knows how it works, but the basic process is:
1. Load multiple items that you wish to be combined into machine.
2. Press button.
3. GM rolls based on your inventing capabilities.
4. Stuff comes out, either useful or not, based on the roll.
Additionally, you may attempt to design your own, new stuff with buffs and weaknesses that you see fit. I'll roll against how gamebreaking I think it is.
The ship comes fully equipped with everything that America thought you might need. So there's a fully functioning armory with all sorts of modern goodies, a medbay, a science lab, a cargo bay full with more generic supplies than you've seen in your entire life, the most modern radar to date, a kitchen, sleeping quarters, life support systems, and a fully functioning demi-AI named Kelvin. Any changes to the ship, or addition of future ships to the crew's control, will be mentioned here.
