Liability Assessment and Recovery Agents Joness Karthan, Kerna Silpher, Burgen Drotha, Killian Kurgos, Darak Madrazo, Vela Gyrran and Zolen Garret have entered the Mautier.

Gyrran: "I'm not filling out paperwork explaining why one of you stupid fuckers blew a hole in an old lady the size of a grapefruit, so check your fire."
Garret: "Yes, mom."
Gyrran: "Fuck off, Garret."
Madrazo: "You know what I love about this job? The sense of camaraderie."
Gyrran: "Did I not just say fuck off?"

Madrazo: "Yeah, yeah... Let's just get this tub flying again. Falling into some shitty gas giant in not how I want to go out."
Krugos: "Just remember to say something funny when you die. Aren't these things mostly helium most of the time?"
Silpher: "I hate to interupt the sixth grade science lesson, but can we get to the engine room or bridge and get this thing moving? Finding someone who actually knows what they're fucking doing might be the best bet, because if we have to rely on you idiots, I don't like our odds."
Garret: "Damn... Alright.

can the bridge print out a damage report under emergency power? if it can then that would be good. if not the we need to turn the lights back on first.

This is going to turn into dead space kind of horror, or cqc with enemy shooters.

Head to the bridge first, If the lights are on then the engine might be working as well and even if it isn't if there are hostiles onboard this ship then it's probably better to make sure they can't take the wheel and drive off. Plus the bridge is the most likely place where you'll find crew members so might as well start off heading there.

>>617060
Bridge is most likely to have survivors. That, or security.

Head to the engine room. You can fix anything that needs fixing there, and control the powerplant and engines directly. If anyone tries to futz with things from the bridge, you can cut the control runs.

Madrazo: "Let's get to the bridge. Hopefully we can get it going from there."

Moving toward the bridge, there is no noticeable signs of life. Until they come across a sealed blast door. A human torso has apparently been cut in half when it closed.

Krugos: "We finally find someone and the motherfucker's dead. Perfect."

Drotha: "You think workers comp covers this?"

Krugos: "I don't think he's worrying about it either way. The fuck happened here?"

Gyrran: "It looks like they had to seal off the fore of the ship, but nobody is back here and he was trying to come this way."

Silpher: "There wasn't any visible damage. I doubt everybody got spaced. Might just be an accident because of the system fuck up."

Krugos: "So should we crack it?"

Looks like he tried to get out but failed so something awaits the other side.

Try pounding on the door. See if there's anyone in there.

any way for us to tell what's on the other side of the door before we do? I mean this kinda of crap is how horror movies start. Also could we close the door again should we need to? Either way we're going to have to go through sooner or later so no sense in pushing it off.

tap the blood, if its somehow still wet then that means this was rather recent.

>>617270
I've got a bad feeling about this. I think the door was sealed to keep something in, and the guy was trying to run away from whatever it is. Maybe we should try visiting other accessible areas of the ship first.

>tap the blood, if its somehow still wet then that means this was rather recent.
Silpher checks the blood to determine a timeframe for the death.
Silpher: "It's been a while. It's starting to dry."

>Maybe we should try visiting other accessible areas of the ship first.
Garret: "We need to keep moving, before this thing's orbit turns into a suborbital trajectory."

The blast door is manually overridden and opened.
Garret: "I can't help but notice there are no legs on the other side."

Silpher: "I hope we all noticed that."

Gyrran: "Maybe the rest of the crew took them away after the accident..."

Drotha: "Maybe they accidentally sprayed the guy down the entire hallway doing it."

Gyrran: "Shut up. I'm just trying to be optimistic here. Just keep your heads on a swivel and shoot any fucker that makes any sudden movements."

Krugos: "Don't need to tell me twice."

right then, some shit went down and people are dead. Could be pirates, could be slavers, could be something else. In any event keep your guns up, check your corners, and stick together. Play this one by the book as you make your way to the bridge, don't want any fuck ups and if these ships have a black box it would actually tell us what happened so we don't have to play 20 questions with the corpse.

Blood trail goes down the passage to the right. Let's investigate that.

Keep an eye on that crate to the left, and the end of the hall. Don't want to be surprised.

...and make sure someone's watching the direction we came from. No getting jumped from behind.

check the box.

Alright, go up next to that box for potential cover and look down the hallway on the right. Tactical movements. Keep someone on overwatch.

that box looks important check it out

>>617330
I don't think this is a case of piracy and the fact the legs are missing is proof of that.

The blood trail leads down a maintenance corridor and ends abruptly.

Karthan: "Well, shit."

Krugos: "This is too fuckin' spooky for me, man."

Garrett: "Unless somebody wants to strip down and wander into the maintenance access or crawl through the vent, I think our little mystery is going to have to wait."

Silpher: "If you're volunteering..."

Garrett: "You're the smallest. You get in there if you really need to know where some dead guy's legs went."

Silpher: "Maybe I should. I'm might be on a roll. I've already solved the mystery of who can go fuck themselves."

Don't split up so just watch the vents, at the same time don't go near them.

>>618901

We'll let that mystery hang around for a bit. Lets continue towards the bridge, maybe someone will be there to clue us in as to what is going on.

Stripping is always best option

I say go in. too many protagonists for my taste- let's get a few killed.

Don't be an idiot. If you go in there you'll die.

The team ignores the missing corpse legs and move to gain control of the ship. The bridge is vacant, except for a single figure slumped at a console.

Drotha: "Hello, anyone alive? Raise your hand if you're not a corpse."

Turn chair around and be completely unprepared for jump scare

Is that a screen or an actual window, and either way do you need to worry about shooting it if something crawls out of the corpse?
(Now that I mention it, do your suits have their own life support? Being able to vent the ship's atmosphere might be useful at some point.)

>>619003
I guess that'd be a corpse then. Turn the chair around to see what sort of corpse it is. Also see if you can pull up some logs or something.

To be honest, I'd be more uncomfortable if anybody raised their hand.

Go check on the body on the chair. If you can spend long enough not bickering to look at it, maybe you can determine a cause of death.

>>619003
>Getting near the chair even being an option
have you never seen a horror movie? Form up and throw something at the corpse. Knock it off the chair FIRST, piss on it's attempt to scare the pants off you.

don't be a pussy, straight up turn the chair around with a manly kick.

One person go to check on the corpse while another covers them, ready to fill the body full of holes just in case.

Put someone else on watching the door. And someone on watch the vent in this room, since there are apparently things in the vents.

If the person is dead, check how, then start checking what the bridge controls / readings tell you.

Also don't forget the more mundane, less space-monster-y possibility of the basic grenade booby-trap. Don't go moving that corpse without checking.

whelp, have your weapons ready to fire, have someone in the group make sure nothing is going to pop up behind you, and see if you actually found a surviver or just another dead guy

The chair is turned to check on the condition of the person

Karthan: "I don't see any wounds."

Drotha: "People don't just die for no reason. This shit is too weird."

Silpher: "Scared of a body, Burg? Maybe the ship is full of killer ghosts. OooooOOOoo!"

Drotha: "Man, fuck off."

>>619305

Move the body to get a better inspection of it and check the console it was in front of.

have that brave guy examine it closely

check for a pulse, make sure everyone else who isn't doing anything useful secure the perimeter. Once we're done with this guy see if you can't pull anything up on the ship's computers and if that's a bust try the ship's black box.

Maybe the wounds were under the clothes. Or life support failed (you guys all suited up, right?). Or it was a toxin or airborne thing. Or hell, she just had a stroke witnessing everyone else being killed around her. Who knows, you're no doctor.

Smack the body across the face with your gun and take a step back to make sure that the confirmation of dead is true.

>>619320
Or we could just check the pulse.

Drotha unzips the jumpsuit and pulls up her shirt to closely examine her chest.

Silpher: "Anything?"

Drotha: "Yeah, way bigger than yours."

Silpher: "ISSHEFUCKINGBREATHINGORNOT!?"

The prone woman suddenly sits up and begins to scream

Woman: "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Drotha: "AAAHHHH!"

Everyone "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Look on the bright side, this would be much creepier if she had been dead. Then you'd be checking out dead tits.

Tell not dead lady to calm her tits. Then tell you what the hell happened her.

>>619430
What the fuck!? Tell her first off to calm down, second, ask her if she normally sleeps with her goddamn eyes open. Thirdly, ask her what happened here.

... whelp when we give our mission report I feel it's safe to say that this part would be better left unsaid.

As for what to do, try to get everyone to calm down, your solders damn it, then wait for the the women to calm down, at least enough to actually talk... and maybe have a few guys block the exit so she doesn't run.

If you can actually question her... well I guess explain what you were doing, then move one to the normal questions, like what the fuck happened her and why is there blood everywhere.

unzip pants

ask spacetits what the fuck is going on in here.

I swear if she's infected or something controlling her. I am going to simply put down. "I called it"

After several moments of hysterics, Gyrran attempts to calm the woman.

Gyrran: "We're with ITS. Do you know what happened here?"

Woman: "I... I can't remember."

Gyrran: "Did you get hit in the head? Are you hurt anywhere?

Woman: "No, I feel terrible, but I can remember my name. It's Kaori Nozawa, I'm one of the navigators and uh... I don't think I'm hurt anywhere... My neck. My neck is sore."

Gyrran: "Let's see it."

Kaori brushes her hair aside and a light is used to take a closer look

Madrazo: "It looks like a mildly infected injection wound. You were probably drugged with something, then in your complacent state, made to move the ship into it's current position, probably for rendezvous with another ship to offload stolen goods."

Garrett: "How do you figure?"

Madrazo: "I watch a lot of crime investigation shows."

Nozawa: "We left from Ganymede station and headed for the Minerva colonies, everything was normal, then it got fuzzy and I woke up with you guys undressing me."

Drotha: "That was for medical reasons, to check vitals. Because of possible, uh..."

Silpher: "I'm pretty sure the whole thing is an excuse to check out your chest."

Okay, girl's not dead and was probably injected with something. What can we pull up from the bridge's screens? We've got at least one person here who knows how to use them.

>>619573
Just keep an eye out for her turning into a freaky monster, dude.

last things she remembers, list of crew, and oh, maybe stop the ship from crashing into the fucking planet.

>>619573
If it's mildly infected then it wasn't done with a clean needle... that somewhat suggests that some sort of creature did it. I mean who uses dirty needles nowadays? Plus, we have evidence something dragged half a corpse into the vents.

Ask her what cargo was on board. Maybe the creature is an escaped specimen.

You had better euthanise her just to be safe.

>If it's mildly infected then it wasn't done with a clean needle
Or that they didn't properly clean or disinfect the injection site before sticking her. And if they were hostile boarders or something, they probably didn't ask her to sit down while they rubbed an alcohol swab before sticking her.

Silpher deserves his shit swatted.

Ask her how much she doesn't remember - few hours, a day, more? And explain to her that she might be contaminated and that she needs to be under supervision.

well could she let us take a look on the ship's computer? I mean it might have some information what happened here, and if not there's still the black box, she could tell us where it is and we can yank it out. Of course if nothing else can be found here start heading towards the ships medical offices or whatever they're called and see if you can't do something about the neck wound. Last thing we need is here passing out on us again.

Are there any security cameras on this thing?

Might want to check the footage to find out what the fuck happened to the crew.

The ships systems are operating on emergency power. Kaori uses the maneuvering thrusters to partially stabilize the orbit, but without power to the engines, the ship is still slowly falling into the planet below.

>>619897

You'll have to get the power back on but first make sure this lady is alright. You've only found one and half of the missing crew so don't rush. Clearly something's going down and it is best to take it slow.

Double check the status of the lady, ensure her wound isn't something more and see if anything leading up to the point where she blacked out sounds suspicious.

Set up a command post in the Bridge, secure the area, leave a couple people and the lady there and send a small team out to restore power to the engines.

get spacetits to lead you to the engines or rngine control room or whatever

is there anyway to lock people out of this room if we where to leave or at least the controls? Because if not I think (and I hate to say it) we might have to split up, one team stays here to make sure that the ship doesn't go down once the engines come back online and the second group goes over and fixes the engines. How many people do we have in our group not counting the chick we just found? I count about 5 but want to make sure.

>>619897
Ask her if anything else feels wrong. Strange smells? Trouble breathing?

...an urge to consume flesh?

>>619897
Ask the girl if the there were any sciencists onboard and what their names were. Also get her checked in the medical bay hopefully they have scanners to tell us what she was injected with.

who's all in the group again and what skills do they have? Also rank I guess just so we know who's suppose to be in charge.

>>620007

Lets get a list of everyone in the group and their skills/jobs, then we can decide who goes and who stays.

Depends on skillsets. You obviously want to leave at least one person who knows how to use the stuff on the bridge besides Kaori up there, and you want to send people who know something about engine repairs to the engine.

Just pick who you like/want to be killed/think will be most amusing.

They're all assholes with guns.

Send in a team of 3:

Burgen Drotha
Vela Gyrran
Zolen Garret

Get those systems on you nerds and if you come across any other people that are knocked out, don't look at their breasts DROTHA.

Good to hear, the group will be able to keep in basic contact then. Head straight to engineering.

you got three fully armed and armored bastards traveling together. You'll be fine, just check your corners, make sure to look over you shoulder ever now and then, and don't take any unnecessary risks and you'll be fine. Besides, you'll be moving meaning you three will be harder to pin down, the guys staying here are more likely to be sitting ducks then anything.

>They're not as good as the main systems, but you should be able to make out what people are saying.
Well good. We'll hear if anyone starts getting murdered by space monsters, then.

Remember to secure / watch the exits to the bridge (including the vents), and see if you can get anything else out of the computers. Maybe there's logs, or telemetry, or security footage, or some such bullshit that can tell us what happened?

how long would it take to get the cameras up and running again? be nice to actually see whats going on out there. Other then that just have at least 1 guy watching the doors so you guys can pretend you're not just slacking off.

Anyone got enough IT specialization to figure out where or how stuff was wiped from? Any digital fingerprints on how it was done? That's maybe a clue.

Ask Kaori if she knows that guy who got cut in half by the blast door, and if there's any way to remotely check for blocked air vents.

Go around and rig bells or chimes or something on all the nearby air vents, make it impossible to get in or out of the ducts quietly.
