TURN 2: Damage Report
"Hey Sami, could you give me a hand with this?"
Disconnect the main circuit, then try to repair it. Replace the fuses.
[4] You replace the fuses while Sami removes the old ones. More like tears out the old ones, as most of them have melted. This is the result of a controversial GSO descision, based on a study that showed that no matter how expansive/durable the failsafe were, most of them would breakdown at a critical moment. While the point of the study was to secure more funds for regular maintenance and check-ups the GSO financial deparment used this conclusion to justify their safety budget cuts.
"When something's going to break down anyway, it 's in our mutual best interests that it should cost as least as posible to replace."
Help Connor repair the circuits and such.
[6]You tear out all the broken fuses(see above). It's only after the circuits are reinitialised that you realise your standing on unisolated electric wiring.Dodge roll:[6]
You jump away but jump straight at some other cables. Damage roll (this uses the same system as random encouters): [6]: You're knocked unconcious and suffer some severe burns at the back of your legs and back.
However You can know shoot lightning out of your hands Sith lord style.However, should you ever find yourself electrocuted in the future, You wouldn't be hurt that much.(+1 Resistance to electrical attacks)Note: Unconcious doesn't not playing for a few turns. Mindscapes are allowed. The main circuit automaticly deactivated itself.
Oh, right, action.
Locate and patch the hull breach.
[3]You can see the hole from the observatory, while it isn't that big (+-5 cm), a large piece of the heathshield(+- 1mē) seems to be damaged and will need replacement.
Also, answer Hilda's communicator transmissions.
[5] You manage to calibrate your communicator to recieve both the ship status updates and possible communication attempts from the crew.
Keep trying to raise someone (anyone!) on comms.
There might be wounded people dying out there!
[1] You accidently drop the communicator, breaking it. Luckly everyone's alright and there's no emergency.
Boris hears noises from Jeremy's room. He mumbles to his self "In Belarus, no mayor help fix flat tire on bus." Since there is nobody else here, he starts heading towards the control room.
If Boris runs into the Schilcote, he will eagerly follow it and try to assist it, because Boris thinks the robot is incredibly amusing and reminds him of mining equipment.
If Boris ends up getting to the control room, Boris will try to assist by finding instructions/manuals/helpfiles on how to restart the ship AI and give them to Nathaniel.

Try to find someone, and if they need helping, help. If I'll only get in the way, be vaugely encouraging while keeping the hell away from anything life-threatening
*
Readjust course for however much that little shock knocked us, run a general systems check through the ship for changes in air-pressure (to make sure we aren't still hemorrhaging), and a general query on the status of life support and Eddie.
Boris and Jeremy team up and head towards the command room where they attemp to assist[6][4+1]Nathanial[5+2=5].
Boris: In your searching frenzy for flightmanuals, you accidently bump your hat against a closet.[3] The result is a moderate headwound. Nothing life threatning, non incapicitating but it hurts and bleeds quite a lot.
Jeremy: You manage to encourage Nathanial. He doesn't need the encouragement though, as he knows what he's doing.
Nathaniel:[5] Your search results in the following information.
-The ship isn't losing air, though Boris seems to be bleeding.
-The ship seems to be on course, though you can't tell.
-You can't reach the A.I
-Life support is perfectly fine
-Diagnosis systems indicates that a micrometeroid impacted with the ship, tore through the hull and the heathshield and then heavily damaged the communictaion systems, shortcircuiting the system in the proces.

- 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.
