997.281: Inside the /Blue Rain/

The lock cycles, and pops open. There is almost no power left in the 
batteries, and you might need to run a line over from the /Mae Lee/ if 
you plan to do this more than one more time.

Shawn steps inside, followed by Mira and Lysia. The lights on your 
helmets send broad beams back and forth across the dark interior of the 
ship. You are in a 3 meter long corridor, perhaps 5 feet across.  The 
floor is covered with a rug over a metal grid. Your magnetic boots will 
work her to keep your feet on the deck, but there is clearly no gravity 
inside.

Shawn moves down the corridor to the left, forward is a closed hatch 
with Bridge stenciled over the iris valve. To the right, aft, is a 
corridor leading to the commons and living quarters.

Shawn didn't need the flash just had his pistol out. He keyed open the bridge iris.

OOC: I'm NPCing Zeek I guess...

Zeek comms back, "I'm still over here on the /Mae Lee/ with Ilane. We'll 
come over as soon as you cycle through. Wait, maybe we should wait a 
second. Is there anything you need us to bring over to you?"

The bridge iris refuses to open. No power. It can be opened manually but 
that will take a bit of effort.

As Shawn and Mira are at the Bridge iris, Lysia turns aft and walks forward.

She sees a closed hatch on the left (9) and an open area beyond (10). 
The open area is where the crew obviously "lived" because there are 
tapes and books on a shelf. A stoppered bottle and glass can be seen 
floating in the middle of the room along with a few other pieces of 
"junk". Most things are well secured, though, and everything looks very 
much in order.

It takes a minute to crank the iris open enough to step through. As 
Shawn is cranking, the airlock cycles again and Ilane enters followed by 
Zeek.

Mira, not waiting for Shawn to finish cranking leans in sticking her 
head through the partly open valve and looks around. The bridge is 
empty. It looks undisturbed, everything is where it should be, but 
nobody...and no bodies are there.

Continuing inside once there is room Mira notes there is a data disk 
ejected, but still in the slot on one of the data terminals.  Looking 
around, she and Shawn see a plaque bolted to the bulkhead next to the 
hatch proclaiming this to be the "Good Ship Blue Rain out of Argent, 
owned and operated by Randolf Bridges."

Shawn peeked in as well.

"Bridge is empty. The plague says this is the /Blue Rain/. We might as well search the rest of the
ship first. No power to anything up here."

Shawn left the hatch partially open and moved to search down with Lysia. There would either be cold
sleep tubes or not and they were what was important right now.

On second thought, he finished opening the hatch and retrieved the data cartridge. It might provide
a clue if nothing else.

no, mira got it. She went all the way in and was still there before he'd 
have gone back and she took it  She doesn't have the two second

Mira comms the Mae Lee, "Mae Lee, this is the Good Ship Blue Rain out of 
Argent. Owned and operated by Randolf Bridges."

She slips the data disk out and into a pocket.

Zeek replies, "There should be plugs behind access points on both hulls, 
where we could run power from one ship to the other. It's not my field, 
but I know there *were* such things on ships I served on."

Ilane is well aware of such things. It's standard procedure to have two 
way power plugs on a ship's hull for situations where you need to power 
equipment outside, or situations where you need to draw power from the 
outside. Kelly also hears this, he *knows* the /Mae Lee/ has a power 
plug behind an access panel next to the airlock, among other places on 
the hull.

The bottle's label says it contains something called "Old Grand Dad" and 
claims it is a "fine blended whiskey." Lysia can see if is almost empty, 
maybe another shot or two still in the bottle.

Lysia makes a mental note to save this for whoever survives from the

She chuckles, "I could ramp up the creepyness factor in here if you're not

If we don't have a 10 foot extension chord I guess we'll be making one out

Yes, you can set that up easily. Someone will have to go outside onto 
the hull and connect it between the two ships, but you have the 
umbilical and the skill to do it.

Ilane says, "You know, I could head back and run a power line over from 
the /Mae Lee/ if you want..."

[PTGM: If nobody has done it already, Ilane will take care of it, which would 
neatly explain her absence during subsequent events (sorry Eris, but I've been 
busy with a few RL things over the past few days). How long this take 
(Electronics-1, Mechanical-1, Zero-G-3)?]

Ilane can help Kelly and April with running the power lines over. It is 
an easy task and you three quickly complete it.

Zeek comms, "There is some sort of ground vehicle here (5). It's 
wheeled, has a closed cab and an open cargo bed."

Lysia checks the locker (6), it is nearly empty, but there is a vacc 
suit, a metal box with an air bottle welded to it's top and some plastic 
storage boxes on shelves. As she  moves down the corridor, Ilane and and 
then Zeek join her. They look in the staterooms around the commons 
area.  Stateroom 9 looks like it has been lived in. The bed has 
bedclothes on it and is unmade. Stateroom 7 has been converted into what 
looks like a small lab. Stateroom 8 has been converted into a small gym. 
Stateroom 12 has been converted in to a Sickbay....there is an autodoc 
in here as well as 4 person emergency low berth unit. The emergency low 
berth unit is powered.

Lysia smiles, "Found your sleepers Mira," she comms, "we're going to need
power to keep these things running."  She looks at the berths from the door
and turns around they're just so many flashing lights to her.

Lysia starts to work on the cargo hatch.

OOG - There's a voice from the past.  Well we were just having a light discussion on happiness, inner peace and enlightenment.  Oh and there's that horde of marauding zombies that are sneaking up behind us.

Seriously we jumped into Serbia (they system not the country) where upon we found a derelict (no relation to me despite the similarity in spelling and that it was a nickname I had at one time) we've boarded the ship and are doing a quick room by room working our way back from the bow towards engineering.

Oh and watch out for the brain eating zombies.

Hey this is Zeek...he's on a first name basis with most of 'em...Erik 
ran a website for cheezy horror flicks and still has doom WADS. 
 that's a slightly modified

Right here!    We are using the deckplans at  
http://www.sff.net/people/kitsune/traveller/images/t20scout.png for the 
/Blue Rain/.  Zeek is aboard the derelict with Lysia, Mira, Shawn and 
Ilane (if you haven't been paying attention, Ilane is a new "partner" 
the group recently picked up) exploring.

Zeek has moved down the corridor with Lysia to the hatch leading into 
the cargo bay (13). She has just stepped inside, and he can follow.

Pick it up in the /Blue Rain/ thread.

Mira starts to head aft, with Shawn behind, then realizes that Lysia 
didn't say *where* she found the sleepers. So, she pauses at each room 
looking in as she moves back. What she sees is exactly what she would 
expect to see in a one or two man scout ship that was out doing 
exploration work. There is a stateroom (9) on the starboard side, but 
the  two on the port side have been converted to a lab (7) and an 
exercise room (8). The commons area (10) looks lived in, and from the 
lack of decoration it looks like the occupants were men, or a man, only.

Aft of the commons down a corridor toward the starboard side she comes 
to a room that has been turned into a sickbay (12).  There is an 
unoccupied autodoc back here. Mira doesn't think much of autodocs, but 
if you're without a *real* MD they are probably your best bet. The 
autodoc can't fix anything very serious, just things like set broken 
bones and minor regen of wounds and injuries, but if the autodoc can't 
do it, best to just put the person into low berth and transport them to 
where a *real* doctor can work on them.

She also sees a standard four person emergency low berth, but she can 
also tell just from looking at it that it is a very old model. She's 
seen these, but they went out of service a good 40 years ago. From the 
lights on the console, she can see that two of the four chambers are 
occupied. Mira will be able to access the berth's power level and 
working state, as well as get general vitals on the berth's occupants 
from the console. She knows these emergency low berths are cross linked, 
and reviving one revives *all*, and this model was notoriously fickle 
causing higher rates of injury and death for revivees than the newer 
models, so she'll want to be careful here.

She checks the status of each occupant, not starting a revival process yet. 
She wants some clue of why they are in there, first, and assurances the 
rest of the ship appears clear. Unless, of course, the power situation is 
so critical that she has to do it *now*.

These models have an emergency power rating of 50 years, you think. You 
quickly determine that it has only been in operation for 37 
years....*37* years!  It has plenty of power, but the chances there 
hasn't been a problem in all those years is pretty high.

Mira looks at the system's state, and it is operating within a nominal 
range. She shifts to the general vitals on the occupants...

Berth's 2 and 4 are occupied, 1 and 3 are empty. Berth 4 is showing all 
green lights, but there are yellow lights glowing on Berth 2, so it's 2 
she looks at first.

Bringing up data on berth 2 you see that it contains a male human aged 
67, 74 kilograms. Mira frowns inside her vacc suit as she sees that the 
system  has stored 3 "events" for this berth...stored events usually 
mean problems, and problems in this case could be *big* problems. Her 
heart sinks as she scrolls through the data. The last three diagnostics 
by the system of this sleeper showed flat brain waves. It's *possible* 
he isn't dead, but Mira is sure the from the numbers accompanying the 
stored events that there has been brain damage. The odds on this 
patients surviving revival are low, maybe only 1 in 6.

With a sigh, Mira looks at berth 4. Now Mira is just confused...occupant 
race unknown, age unknown, 46 kilograms. There are no events recorded, 
but the diagnostics show *two* heart rates, pulses, and brainwave 
patterns...there are two of *something* in berth 4. Why would you put 2 
in one berth when you had two empty o
