TURN 0: The Beginning (again)
The Prometheus has almost reached it target, whit almost no incidents. The Journey has been very peacefull indeed. But that's about to change...
But first, an overview of what happened in the past few months:
Exercise intently and grow crops. Declare the menu for meals to be as follows:
Monday-Sunday : Borscht
[5] You not only manage to make the entire crew eat Borscht for an 8 month journey, but thanks to your rigorous training shedule you suffer an smaller chance of low G athropy.(Also, since that +1 was useless, 1 week of Borsht for everyone)
Low G athropy check:[5+1=5](Only natural 6'es count.: No health problems for you.
Oversee the health situation on board and monitor all vital signs. Particularly the CO2 levels because I'm worried about that. And heartrate.
[4] CoČ levels are normal, and you know about other peoples health problems.
[4] You don't seem to suffer from low G athropy
Oversee the operations onboard. Keep an eye out for anything likely to kill us all...
[5] You were at the controls at the moment of the incident and so automaticly now what happened
[5]: You seem to resist the zero G athropy rather well(+1 for you)
Make larger spare parts out of conveniently located spare part parts. Fix the hydroponics deck.
I'd like to skip ahead and have combined turns.
[6]: The broken pipe has been replaced. To bad it looks more like a giant hamster tunnel( Hydrophonics system(which is part of the greenhouse) gains -1 damage resistance)
[5] Did someone start a gym or something on board(+1 for you too)
Go to room and make it more awesome by putting I am the Walrus on repeat. Then be cool.
To be honest, there isn't much to do right now. I vote for time skip and combined turns, because otherwise there's no helping, or teamwork, and you'd have to keep track of how many people have posted.
[3]The rooms turns out to be mediocre at best. It's really small(You can't stand up in it) and contains nothing more than a bed and some shelves.
[5]No low gravity atrophy for you(+1)
I'm back. What's all this about putting me in a box?
[1] You almost find yourself put into hammerspace.
[5] No zero G athropy for you(Robot Duh), You do use the time to adjust to Mars gravity , allowing you to pick up heavy things easier
Spin the ship up to recommended gravity for the sake of the other passengers, then set the ship on auto-pilot and break into the box of goodies management decided to pack me.
Yes I know you already did this. If you really want to, I'll retcon an action in for you(Don't take to long)
[5]:The constant Marslike gravity seems to be healthy for you.
Random event: 5
A loud impact resonates through the ship. Several alarms go off, the lights switch off, Red emergency lighting activate and there's some kind of smoke coming out of the ventilation system. The ship's communication systems are offline so you'll have to be near someone to talk to them. (Your communicators have a short range walky-talky function, but this one option is normally turned off to save on batteries.

OFFLINEDamage: None
- The MCS
Size: 70 meter long
Diameter: 20 Meter
Appareance: The MCS is very cylindrical. It looks like an extralarge spaceshuttle(whitout booster tanks). It has retractable wings and a rudder yet still looks like a giant cigar.
Purpose: The MCS is supposed to deliver a crew of 7 to Mars, and supply the resources to build a permanent base there.
Floor layout: While the MCS is primarly designed to operate in space , it does have a landing gear which we will use to define up, down. Because of the artificial gravity that will be in effect all the time. All floors are aligned away from the center of the ship. This does mean that some floors are pependicular to each other or sometimes even upside down.
Locations inside the ship:
-AI control room: Completly central in the ship
-Habitation room: The central habitation room, surrounded by the (small,like really small)chambers of the crewmembers lies low,central in the ship.Just above the landing gear.
-Greenhouse: Portside of the ship,more towards the back of the ship
------->Hydroponics deck(-1 damage resistance)
-Foodstore: Next to greenhouse, but closer to the center
-OpenGPAI storage room: On top of the ship, close to the nose cone, can be used as an airlock
-Observation deck: Connected the open GPAI storage room(can be locked though, so no need to vacuum this one)
-Labs:Frontside of the ship, portside
-Fission power generator: Center back of the ship, close to the engines
------> Main breaker room
-Life support: Center front of the ship
-Medical Room: Starboard
-Return vehicle(smaller): Top Back of the ship
-Back-up control room(Manned): Between the lifesupport and the AI
-Cargo rooms: Multiple rooms, spread through the ship.

Name: Nathaniel Hoke
Nation: Born in Space, ZG.
Traits: (Rollover for details) ZG Tolerant,Perfect Reflexes, ZG Atrophy
Bio: Living on an old commercial orbital Nathaniel was an unruly child and a member of the station's ZG kid gang, the Cliff Swallows. Acrobatic in the station's gravity devoid main bays it was only after his 16 birthday -and enrollment into the Pilot's academy- that he realized what full G was. Nathaniel subsequently spent three years of his life undergoing painful procedures to be able to withstand the 50%EG required for military pilots.
He didn't make the cut.
Taking a few commercial jobs here and there Nathaniel has enjoyed a reputation as a crack pilot for specialty runs, particularly on Zero or partial G runs. Six months after his 27th birthday Nathaniel has been hired onto the Mars expedition, the ship's gravity still gives him trouble but thanks to his military training regimen he can usually manage to get around if he doesn't hurry.

It is very humanlike, almost to a fault, and is suitable for just about any application. He has been uploaded into a half-ton, six-wheeled armored chassis, loaded with just about every type of sensor you can imagine. It also has two retractable manipulators, which are about as strong dexterous as a human arm and hand.
