We need the food machine working, and it never hurts to know what's in your inventory.

...unless you're carrying a cursed object that only hurts if you're aware of it or something.

Some things come first in your line of duty, and you set out fixing the snack machine. You'll show them that Hugo Packagebord is different from these irresponsible slackers! ...although you do admit you're hoping to find some food for your grumbling stomach, too.

After some hard work using your basic toolkit, you reap the result: four whole C-bars! Ain't that something. The screen's still busted, though, can't do anything about it; but the machine's auto-replenisher should kick in soon.

You quickly put the C-bars in your inventory (and one into your stomach). Well, seems that you only packed your basic toolkit with you into cryo, and didn't stash any kind of extra rations - no matter, a C-bar should be stuffed with enough energy for a whole day, blessed be Bordian Nutritional Science!

You do wonder if there's anything else that can help you fix stuff, though. Or anyone else, for that matter.

You then enter the entertainment room.
No, seriously, this is the entertainment room, not the bathroom. Bordians usually relax by using VR rooms, and there's three here. Two seem to be vacant, while the middle one seem to be occupied. Annoyingly, more broken stuff and litter are evident - there's a trail of snack wrappers to the occupied room, and someone - or something - has ripped out the ventilation cover over booth #3.
Just what kind of party did these guys have?!?

>Wat do
[] Open booth #2, maybe you'll find the culprit!

I'm kind of disappointed the stomach doesn't show up as an inventory slot with a c-bar "equipped" now.

>what do
Check booth 2, you need to make contact with your fellow bords and discover what the reason for this deplorable state of affairs is.

Knock first, give them the benefit of the doubt. There might have been some higher priority that meant allowing these areas to fall into disrepair, or they might be attempting to repair a VR unit now, or using it to look something up.

You check the vent, and the cover. Since the vent is too high for you to reach, all you can see is the darkness of the vent staring back at you. The cover is more interesting; it seems like it's been punched out from the inside of the vent.

You wonder if there wasn't any party at all, but something else happened. You decide to stick to what you know, and that's potential repairs for the damaged vent.

You enter booth #3 to assess the damage better. Well, that gaping hole is definitely a problem, and the dried sauce on the walls could use some attention - but you're an engineer, not a janitor! You mentally note to get a ladder or something to fix that vent.

Besides that, Booth #3 is vacant. Only two intact cans of sauce detected - on second thought, those might be E-drinks. You mull whether or not to take them as you head over to Booth #2 and knock.
There's a loud mumble from the inside.

You enter the room anyway. The first thing that greets you is a thoroughly P-wrapped Bord in the sim-seat, with a note taped on him. There seems to be an intact C-bar under his seat.

Surprisingly, you find this... mundane. Who knows how many frat parties back at technical school where you woke up taped to some bawdy sim, or been the one to tape up the drunk victim yourself.

In any case, the Bord is still mumbling. Angrily, you correctly deduce.

For more information, assuming it's not dangerous to get close to him:
[] Or maybe open just the mouth-tape first.

I suspect some sort of illness has stricken the crew, rendering them violent. This one is tied up and exposed to a sim so that they focus that aggression into the simulation, instead of anyone else.

Help the poor lad out and shut the sim off.

>>688879
Hug note, read bord. You should know what's going on before making further decisions.

If you do decide to extricate the bord, proper procedure would be the shut down the sim first, then remove the bindings. That gives you the opportunity to talk / see what he has to say before untying him.

Right, obvious things first: check out the note. Unsurprisingly, it said that the guy in wrap is responsible for the snack machine's damages.

That explains the kinda-cruel 'prank'. "Welp, justice served," you talk to no one in particular. The guy just grumbles.

Regardless, taping up his mouth might be a bit too extreme. You move closer to remove the tape.

"Phew. What was that for?" You say. "And besides, I'm Hugo Packagebord. I don't know this Carl Helbordo you talk about, though."
The torrent muffled, it drizzled down once you've made clear who you are. After some panting, he utters some mumbling that might mean 'oh, sorry about that'.

Turns out that the wire cutting part of your basic pliers could be used to cut through thick P-wrap.
Well, after some time and effort, that is, but the wrapped bord's free now.
"Whew, thanks for that. Hugo, was it?" He says, with way less vitriol in his voice. "Thanks for leaving the sim-headgear on, I almost fell asleep back there." He says as he removes the sim-headgear from his face.

Jan does a bit of inventory check, and shares the results. He's lost his shoes during the 'great scidiv nerds' prank war' as you call it, but he still retains his datagloves - basically, he could inspect things by holding them, and remotely interact with electronics he's touched. His Bum Bag contains the ration you stuffed in his mouth earlier, the sim-headgear still running a portable version of Jungle Fever (and several other 'select' sims), and an atmoscanner, which can scan the atmospheric condition of an area to determine its chemical composition - and also handily warn of unbreathable environments that way.
Which is quite nifty, you think.

Besides that, he's also got his science suit on, like you got your engineer suit on.

Soon enough, you found yourselves back in the lounge. You briefed Jan about what happened since you left your cryo-pod.
"Man, that party went really out of control, huh?" Jan asks.
"You better believe it. Vents punched out, vending machine broken, and all these wrappers! Thankfully I fixed the vending machine, though."
"So... what should we do now? There's the obvious thing of fixing the engine, but we need more than just one engineer. And more tools. And probably a space suit or two."
"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. We need to cross damaged and possibly breached parts of the ship."
"So it basically boils down to what should we do first, yeah?"
"Yyyep."
>Wat do?
[] See if anyone else, hopefully another engineer, has awoken and is recruitable. Which means checking the cryo-pods in the cryo-bays, from A to H.
[] Look for suitable tools that could potentially fix the engines. This means taking a trek through the winding maintenance tunnels and checking out storage closets for the tools.
[] Look for a space suit or two. These should be somewhere near the cargo bay area.
[] Check for a map of damaged areas. This meant going to the nearest available console, which is at the auxiliary control room. But if there's no working consoles there, you'd have to trek to the bridge, or main engineering - located at roughly the opposite ends of the ship.

Checking a nearby is the most efficient way to get up on what's happening. But if it turns out the only console is far away, we'll put that off a bit.

>[X] See if anyone else, hopefully another engineer, has awoken and is recruitable. Which means checking the cryo-pods in the cryo-bays, from A to H.

"Oh, I think the auxiliary control room is nearby, right? Well, compared to the bridge or main engineering, at least." Jan suggests. He's right, but you'd need to go through the maintenance corridors for that.
"Good idea! Next we need to find more bords, though. Just the two of us won't cut it."

You're understaffed. You need the AI just to keep an eye on other things that might break or go wrong, and to give you reports on damage to fix, nevermind all the other functions she fulfills.

>>741097
Don't call her "HoE."

Yeah, the AI is important, the head of research should have access too? Hopefully it hasn't shocked the doors or anything.

Try interrogating the AI on the way. Is it having problems, diagnostic stuff, current operating rules, etcetra.

We got something to record a memo in? If so, make up a to-do list.

How much of a detour is it heading to main engineering before the auxiliary control room? I'd guess not that far, since they're both accessed via the maintenance corridors.

[x] Head straight to Main Engineering, through the maintenance corridors.
Let's wake up Hal...GlaD.. i mean VIRA already, then she can deal with stuff and we don't have to move as much. Also she can point us to other problems that need fixing.

"Well, since we're going to fix things anyway, Main Engineering should have a console or two that shows what parts to fix, right?"
Jan smiles. "That's the spirit! I just happen to know a shortcut. Going through all the Cryo chambers is a hassle."
"Wait, a shortcut?" You ask as he stops by a maintenance door.
"And here we are. Maintenance corridors! I thought you engineers were supposed to use these?"
"I think so, but I just woke up out of Cryo - never went in them outside of virtual training."
"Well, this is your lucky day, then! Go on, take the first step! You ready?"

Nonononope.
"Aw hell, the emergency lights are on. This might mean we got more things to fix."
What were those, EYES?
"You okay there, Hugo?"

>What do?
[] Wuss out, nope, nope, nope
[] Focus your mind! You're an engineer! FIX STUFF! Go straight ahead!
[] Check the side passages, there might be a way to switch the creepy lights. Or maybe a weapon. Or maybe the creepy crawly with three eyes.
[] You're coming with me, right Jan? I won't mind if you take the lead!
[] Summon the courage of the Bordian empire! BORDLE BOR! CHAAARGE!
[] Other (fill in)

Grab a weapon of sorts before waltzing in there.
Maybe even head to the armory.

>>758165
"That all depends on how genre savvy you are because I'm dead sure I just saw eyes. A lot of them."

Grab something for a weapon, and then
BORDLE BOR! CHAAARGE

>>758165
[x] Other

Ask Hugo if there's supposed to be anything with little triangular clusters of LEDs resembling glowing sets of eyes in there, because if not, there's something in there with glowing eyes.

If there's some kind of space bug or rogue robot drones or something that has been breaking things, you can't fix things if you let yourself get ambushed in the dark!

>>758165
Maaaaaaybe we should just take the long way around.

>>758165
lets go ahead and check those side pannels.

>>758165
>Eyes
LOL, no. That was just your eyes having trouble adjusting to the flickering light. March straight ahead an fix stuff

"Jan! What the bord are those?? They look like eyes!"
Jan takes a quick look at the flickering hallway.
"Eh, probably nothing. You're not scared, are you?"

You need a weapon, and the lack of weaponry on your self is alarming. Well, your tools look a bit like weapons, right? You scrutinize your precious tools for a while.
"Don't worry, Hugo! I got your back!"
Well at least if they're some kind of murder-machine robots, you can disassemble them, right?
You take a big breath
Open the door
Get on the floor

...and BORDLE BOOOOOOR!
"Thaaat's the spirit!"
You sprint down the hallway, with Jan trailing close behind you. As you turn down a side passage, you see something!

1 - What is that vaguely metallic thing?
2 - What is that organic goop?
3 - Another bord! But hostile!
4 - Another bord! In distress!
5 - Another bord! But friendly!
6 - Oh hey, someone left a stash of... things!

An unnatural, jury-rigged robot stands menacingly down your path! It twitches in jittery motion, blocking your path!

>Wat do?
[] Dismantle this abominable affront to sensible design! (combat!)
[] It seems to be just... standing there. Maybe you can sneak around?
[] CAN'T STOP ME NOW! Bodyslam and continue running!
[] WELP I told you there's something bad down here! 360 and moonwalk away!
[] You deal with this one, Jan, it's your idea to go down here!
[] Other (fill in)

Dismantle to see what makes it tick!

Brandish wepon, charge! ...and run right by it!

>>787199
Use commands to see if it responds before approaching.

>>787199
stumpy design with red lights on it? that's gotta be a walking bomb.

>>787199
Don't be afraid. Something tells me this is just some sort of maintenance drone doing its job.

>>787325
Yeah, test to see if it's responsive, or if it even does anything.

>>787199
[x] other: Leash it, and take it for a walk. If it fights, smack it over the head with a wrench until it stops that. WE WILL MAKE IT OBEDIENT!

[x] Other:
Ask Jan if he recognizes this robot?

>>787199
this thing some kinda nanotech error?

Could be just a maintenance bot that got repaired, or so you think.
"Hey Jan, you ever see one of these?" You say, as you poke it with your screwdriver.
"No, actuall-"

...aaaaand it lands on the floor where you used to be. A deep computerized voice hums, "Scream identified. Engineer Hugo Packagebord identified."
Then it switches to a radio-transmitted laugh. "Pffhehehehehahahaha! You should've taken a look at your face! Sheeeeit, that you, Hugo?"
Jan is not amused at your cowardice, however.

>That guy, you know that guy! They're...
[] Mina Sanbora, the Head of Engineering! You've been the butt of her many practical jokes now.
[] Kremen Dunbor, a fellow engineer, you remember he likes b-movie horror.
[] Maybe Val Borval, the roboticist? You don't really know him.
[] Actually, you don't know? Maybe Jan does?

B has the best name by far,
but A teases a female Bordian role. So A.

>>822182

Mina. This is definitely a Mina joke.

>>822182
A is for Asshole

>[X] Mina Sanbora, the Head of Engineering! You've been the butt of her many practical jokes now.
Are you really taking the time to prank me in the middle of a crisis? Geeze, Mina, you're incorrigible.

>>822182
Is that Kremen? Did Mina put you up to this?

>>822182
B-horror bro is the way to go

This Steam-powered golem can only have come from one mind: Mina's!
