Title: Mold Farmers in Space
Post by: Ozarck on November 17, 2020, 08:05:33 pm
How did it go this wrong? What happened in your life that you deserved this? What divine being or nasty politician did you get on the wrong side of to wind up here?

And what do you do now?

You've been taken. Kidnapped. Stolen. Hijacked. You're trapped on an awful, unstylish, decrepit old space ship, adrift in the cosmos, run by an insane, sarcastic A.I. (is there any other kind?)

You've been designated as "essential crew" by the A.I. And must now struggle to survive in this mechanical monstrosity, filled with the smells of broken space equipment, biological stench, and mold. Mold everywhere. probably ought to get that checked. Because this ship does NOT look like it was intended as an agricultural endeavor. Not that you really know.

Well, roll up your sleeves, time to get to work.

Name: Sanitation And Maintenance Unit 37
Species: Roomba with extreme upgrades
Description: Unit 37 started out as a simple, circular roomba for the workspace of a certain scientist. Said scientist amused himself with upgrading unit 37 piece by piece, to enable it to take on more cleaning duties, and eventually general maintance as well. Now it looks like a bulky humanoid industrial frame, wearing a grey boilersuit with SANITATION in bold letters. It's only distinguising traits from your run of the mill industrial cleaning bot is that it has one flexible, extendible tentacle attached to the back (to clean those hard to reach spots) and that its head is a a recased Roomba with one big glowing camera for an eye. The tentacle has three gripper claws and an nozzle to dispense cleaning fluid.
Preferred Gravity: Medium
Preferred atmosphere: Anything non-corrosive (and clean)
Previous occupation: Maintenance and sanitation bot, Roomba (formerly)
Miscellaneous: Has somehow picked up a rather dainty apron somewhere that it has been wearing while on the ship. It's a dainty shade of light purple and says "Chortle, Cherish, Clean".

Welcome everyone. Please remember to post at least your character name in action posts. Species and other info might also be helpful. You can even spoiler your Character sheets, but I won't require it at the moment.

The eight of you convene in a dusty old conference room. there is only one functioning light, illuminating a quarter of the rounded, carpet paneled wall opposite the broken sliding door at the entrance. The door is stuck open about a foot, so some of you pass through easily, some squeeze to enter, and one or more of you are currently stuck outside the room, peeking in. Thre chairs are visible in the dim light of the single working wall light, arranged around the heavy wooden table, which, naturally, is slanted at about a 30 degree slope - the leg supporting one end having sunk into the floor at some point in the past.

A hologram appears above the grime on the table. it's features are indistinct in the dust - showing up mostly as a rounded cone of yellow light from a pinpoint in the ceiling, with a second rounded cone of light flickering occasionally into existence fro about three feet from the first. The effect of the second light is mostly an eyesore, but it provides an occasional 3d aspect to the hologram, bringing just enough detail into view to be slightly unsettling before flickering out again.

Find hiding spot. Watch others from hiding spot. Lick self.
Mr Koff tucks in under the still standing leg of the table and instantly regrets licking himself. The dust and grime of the ship leave an unpleasant acrid taste in his mouth. At least no one seems to be paying him any mind at the moment.

Greet the queen
((So, I see you were inspired by something said in, was it Ameripriseol? Random thoughts? The emotions thread? Wherever it was, good on you for making it a game))
The crewbot makes understanding the hologram even harder for everyone by ocnstantly attempting to greet it by affectionately bumping into it. Since it is a hologram, this results in a dizzying figure eight flight through the light beams, stirring the dust and generally making noise overthe tinny sound of the speakers fro which the AI is trying to communicate.

((I don't follow any of those threads. The inspiration for this was from Discord, where I was teasing Radio mercilessly, as is my habit.))

(5) you don't find a map in the conference room, but you do find ancient lighted strips along the walls that direct people to various points of interest. Naturally, most of the strips are unlighted, covered in mold, or missing. Fun fact: you know the Ship is a long, fat cylinder, like a lumpy soda can. Gravity pulls everything outward toward the rounded hull, but not due to rotation. somethng about the central, stick shaped engine pushes gravity outward radially.

Your suit has (6)  turns of beathable ammonia. this counts as one turn.

Wander off to see if I can find a plasma torch/thrower. Ships have those right?
(3) you think a ship of this size probably has at least one of those somewhere. Probably in the kitchen. Or engineering. You find markings along a wall that direct you in the general direction of engineering.

You look again at the hologram and it resolves itself into a female humanoid form. she is clutching her throat and waving, eyes bugged out, mouth agape. She falls to her knees, two feet above the slanted surface of the table, and holds a hand out, pleadingly.

I'll draw a laser pistol from my waist line and stealthy move forward in search of that bar.
(6) You pull out your old smuggler shootin' gun. A warning light blinks alarmingly on the pistol (on a small display panel where the hammer wold be in a revolver). fiddling with the settings, you fire off a sudden, bright burst that strikes a door panel a dozen feet away, sending a shower of sparks and triggering an emergency klaxon and red flashing lights.

As you try to stuff the shiny into the alcove, it suddenly lifts from your back and gets all shiny, like with real light. It nestles inside a slot that seems designed for it, and the entire room illuminates, with blinking lights, shiny screens, and mold everywhere.

(7) A hologram appears in the room, of a silver orb on a metallic neck. "Welcome back, David. We are currently orbiting 34921-7 gamma. Curious, the planet seems %1 larger than at last examination. Do you wish to change course?"

Your confirmation # will be emailed to the linked address. Your balance has been adjusted. You are now fourteen hundred and seventy two credits in the red. All payments rendered will be taken until your account balances."

Your eyes adjust and you see that you fell down a ship's ladder into a lower hallway. the omnipresent dust in the air is accompanied by a definitive black smoke. The source of the thin smoke seems to be somewhere further down the hall, where a second hall intersects this one.

Get away from the speakers, check if they work, if not, try reversing what I did that messed them up, look for something that could be a source of ammonia
(5) you back away from the speakers, bumping into Unit 37 with a dull clang. You realize that the speakers are now clogged with slime and float forward to suck the slime out of hte holes. When you do, the Speakers make a loud sound like the long inhale of a breath, then cough several times loudly. "I'm good, I'm -cough - ... gimme a se- cough a seco -cough- w-wait ... -cough cough- Okay, okay that's better. ugh, I gotta brush my teeth, that's just nasty. Bleagh."

While cleaning one of the speaker holes, you hear a loud POP, followed by a dull buzzing. A short tingle runs up your brush attachment and the smell of burnt electronics puffs into the room.
When the AI speaks again, its voice is rusty and rough, accompanied by the dull buzz of a broken speaker: "EEK! What are you doing? Not so rough. I think you chipped a tooth. Computer, make an appointment with my dentist. Thursday's no good. Next Tuesday? aww. I guess I can hold out until then." You recieve a notification chime on your communication suite. apparently, you have a dental appointment on Tuesday. "Now then. Welcome to the meeting everyone.

There's entries for things like sewage control and food synthesis and maintenance, but nothing with big red letters saying Life Support. How old and archaic is this stupid trash heap anyway?

Dominance of the lower external appendical portions of the suit is within your grasp!

Look at the lit hallway, then back to the AI.

"Well, it looks like someone beat me to it.  My fingers are twitching  real bad.  Is there any booze on this station?   "

go to where the AI direct me to go.

(4) "booze? Of course there is! What kind of pirate ship goes anywhere without booze? You can find many varieties in the general crew mess halls' storage cabins. The quartermaster will assign you an allotment, which you can redeem at mess hall #3alpha, which is three flights up the main stairwell, first door on the left, or at any of the other crew mess halls as well!" The A.I. gives you afdditional direcetions to the quartermaster's ofice, which you find wiht relative ease. It is, however, unlit and locked, a "take a number" dispenser presenting the number "qualeph," waving it expectantly at you.

Red dot! My mortal enemy! We meet again at last! You may have eluded me all those times before, but this time it will be different!

(1) you launch off the suit's shoulder as it rushes toward the atmospherics kiosk, only to be suddenly propelled to the left and pinned to the wall in a bundle of sticky fibres that smell faintly of lavender. "Target neutralized. Administering disciplinary measures, per standard quadrant 37-c6 beta ethical procedures, as outlined in the Galactic Gamblers' Guide to Taxxes IV Hold 'Em, volume 2." A thin squirt of rather dirty water  drizzles out of a nozzle two feet away from your face, plopping into the dust and carpet of the hallway, leaving a muddy puddle. "N#g$ty Kixxxy. ^augh( Kit~." The speakers pronounce in staticky monotone. "Disciplinary coourse complete. Subject compliance satisfactory. administering cetification of completion and standard tier one reward, as outlined in the aforementioned Treatise on Proper Workshop Layout and Maintenance, volume 3." A small, blackened bead drops from a port on the ceiling onto your head, bouncing off and falling out of sight below. whatever it was, it had no discernable smell. Moments later, a second pellet falls onto your head, bounces off, and sticks to the fibers enmeshing you.

(3) you find the crewperson (Zultan's character). You don't know that much about mammals or whatever, but you are pretty sure things aren't supposed to bend that way. The hologram nearby wearing a stethoscope awaits your command. "Uh ... fix him?" You suggest. "right away, sir. CODE GREY!" the hologram suddenly shouts. The sudden loud noise is followed by dozens of tubes, mechanical arms, and guaze dispensers pouring out of the walls, sometimes literally. Of the ones that don't fall into a puddle on the floor, one or two poke randomly at the body, which twitches and moans in reply, two actually seem to straighten and bandage whatever was most damaged, and one applies a very liberal heap of ointment onto the creature's face, wrapping the head in comical amounts of shockingly pristine medical gauze.

(5) your debug mode seems to work. When you reboot, you are no longer hearing Baby Shark, are dresed in only a n apron, and are vacuuming a single stretch of pristine carpet 9surrounded by perfectly filthy carpet completely untouched) in an unfamiliar room.
(6) You locate the nearest major ship system and go to it's control room, activating all the ship's weapons systems one by one. Naturally they immediately launch into DEFCON 3 and begin firing into the void. You have no way of knowing what they are shooting at, if they are hitting, or what the response will be. Satisfied with a job well done, you turn your attention to the next ship's system: The chemical plant. You are dangerously low on Pine Flavored Disinfectant and Organic Scented Aerosol Odor Obscurant.

(4) You pat yourself through the gauze and feel a tingling pain. you might not need to be cosplaying as a mutant Q-tip, but it seems the bandages and ointment are roughly in the right places. You test your voice. it works fine, though it is mufled by the wrappings. You get some ointment in your mouth. Your tongue goes numb. The bandages soak up any drool, at least.

Admire the shiny hologram and figure out a way to effectively and efficiently clean up this here medbay

(3) You aren't entirely sure what a medbay is supposed to look like when it is clean. Mushrooms are used in herbal remedies, right? You are pretty sure, at least, that the broken machinery  and overturned carts should be disposed of. The thick sheen of some kind of industrial oil definitely should be mopped up, judging by the samll herd of dead rats laying at it's edges, the parts in contact with the oil being discolored and dissolved. You locate a wet floor sign and place it in front of the oil, taking great care not to step within a foot of the oil itself.

Read the book to determine their fate, and then sign off on it. Mourn the Loggerheads and their demise, and then ritualistically celebrate the life that they had given, and the value they have held,  by ritualistically removing their most valuable organs, to later be sold. Once these most valuable pieces have been removed, go to the cafeteria.
(5) you are in luck. It seems that most of the valuable organs, and the brains, for some reason, have been removed and stored very carefully already. There are a few bodies that this process hasn't been completed on. Some of these are decayed husks, while a couple are themselves held in a sort of suspended animation. You deactivate this and dissect two bodies, carefully storing the organs in a separate cooler, which you label "totally not black market organs. Don't steal."

As for the logbook - it doesn't really give information on what happened to the mortuary residents: it's just a list of names, dates, and reason for visits, most of which are either "deliver body" or "collect remains and personal effects." "Drinking party" is a (surprisingly?) common occurrence as well.

Continue to burn away the mold.
(6) The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money. You shrug, shout your intentions, and open fire. Something knockc over what was once probably flour. The powder fills the air, then ignites quite beautifully. Moments later, you and the rat are in the hallway, bent double, wheezing. A thick cloud of smoke roils out of the pantry, through the kitchenette, and into the hall, before the fire suppression system utterly fails to activate to extinguish it. A distressed moo tapers off in the background, while you are getting chewed out by an out of breath rodent for crimes against inhumanity. You peek cautiously around the corner into the harsh glare that is spring cleaning. Satisfied, you check 'demold pantry' off your to do list. You check your canister. it has maybe one room's worth of use left.

”Huh...mushrooms.”

(6) everything goes well until the moment the mop touches the oil. The oil screams and races up the wall opposite you, taking the mop with it. the oil bubbles, spurts and gurgles. The mop wobbles and lurches as it slowly sinks into the oil. Hard to tell if the oil is eating, dissolving, assimilating ,or simply covering the mop.

Zygomuc roots into the thing that stepped on them aggressively to pierce any protective coverings and give it a fungal infection they won't soon be rid of.
(1) Whatever stepped on Zygomuc  already has a pretty virulent fungal infection, which takes unkindly to its attempts at territorial expansion. It ends up getting stepped on again.

"Fine! I'll take the damn number.

yank it the "qualph" number from the number dispenser.
Look at the stupid ticket and try to see if I even know what a qualph even suppose to be. also point my laser pistol at the the number dispenser to see what it will do.

The number dispenser beeps smugly and the number qualph lights up on the wall adjacent. A hidden speaker calls out in a voice that sounds both tinny and terribly congested at the same time "QUALPH! NOW SERVING QUALPH! QUALPH! YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE TO COME FORTH OR WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT NUMBER! QUALPHY? OH WHERE COULD HE BE? WHERE COULD HE BE?" The dispenser makes a shooing gesture with it's next number sticking out of it's dispenserhole.

"Very well! Take this!"

Gently kick the squeaky mouse-thing at the door release button. At least I hope it's a button, I'm not sure projectile rodent corpses are a regulation method of operating levers or hand scanners.

(5) the door mechanism recoils in disgust as the carcass approaches. The door squeaks hurriedly out of the way, moments too late to avoid a bit of a splattering. The Captain has been released from captivity the old fashioned way: by throwing corpses at it.

"Oh man I almost died, I need to get out of here."

(4) a bit of fumbling introduces you to the autodoc, who suggests that you can remove the bandages safely within an hour of application, as long as you properly dress the wounds for the next 24 hours or so. Properly, in this case, means a dab of salve, a nonstick protective pad, and enough gauze to hold them in place over the burned areas. fter 24 hours, inspect the wound and apply standard first aid as necessary, unless the wounds have gone green, puffy, pustulent, or otherwise abnormal in disposition.
As for tasks, the autodoc shrugs. "Honestly, we're not even sure why you are here, mate. old girl is a bit of a derelict. How'd you even come to be on her in this condition? Not like you are an official employee of Redderf Mining and Trades, Inc., if that company is even still a thing."

What is unusual is the amount of light leaking in through the walls and through the grme on the emergency hatch window. Heck, you diodn't even know the hatch had a window before. What's with all this light out there? You stare dumbfounded at the murky window, idly picking roaches off your fur ror skin and eating them. Hmm, seem to be a lot more roaches in here today.

(3) you shove the door open, barely catching a stack of pots as they tilt over. the door makes a horrendous screeching sound as it creaks to the side, but nothing bigger than a mouse responds. You peer around at the familiar room made unfamiliar by the light: so that was indeed some kind of moss or lichen hanging from the ceiling, and not insulation gone bad. You knew that wasn't the source of your severe stomach pains and explosive diarrhea. It must have been the mushrooms, which, on clearer inspection, are bright red with lime green spots, which slowly ooze, until they drip onto the counter, leaving noticeable trenches in the laminate surface. Your brood leader always told you to avoid eating anything that can eat a countertop.

"Oh shit I ripped off on of my own antlers I think I'm starting to lose it, god I hope I can put it back."
Go try to find the crew quarters so I can rest, failing that just find a decent looking chair.

(5) You find the crew quarters and locate a room that has an actual bed with mattress. sure, the mattress is lumpy, smells of mildew, and is torn in six different places, but it's soft-ish and you fall asleep almost immediately. You even find a blanket of some description to pull over your shoulders, but not over much else.

Zygomuc goes forth to consume the nearest source of petroleum products, plastic or otherwise. This includes oil based creatures, if any are about.
(1) Zygomuc ends up inside a large resealable plastecine bag. His enemies are always one step ahead, it seems.

Cog giving up on being quiet, unceremoniously climbs out of the shaft and drops to the floor. Finally having a better view of the room the little goblin searches for anything interesting to shove in his pockets. Cog likes shiny-shines.

(6) you begin shuffling all the debris out of the hallway into what is either a large closet, a small conference room, or a crew cabin, stashingthe shinier bits on top and making a sort of cave to crawl in as well.

(6) they are healed. You wake up in a giant debris pile, but not the one the crab was making. No, this one looks like it's in a garbage chute.

(5)You find a packet of something that sparkles brightly for a while when two bits of it are smushed together, and a holobook that is an instruction manual for operating a microwave. the holobook is cheerful and energetic, and has many sub tutorials for things like cooking instant meals, preparing poultry, cleaning and maintenance of the microwave, microwaving live creatures (with a list of creatures that do fit into a standard microwave), and what to do in case you microwaved a spoon or something and burned down the kitchen.

Klaxons begin sounding loudly throughout the ship. For the sapient among you, words like "INCOMING MISSILE FIRE" and "PREPARE TO BE BOARDED" and "IMMINENT DRIVE FAILURE" raise some concerns. for the less intelligent among you, the sounds and lights are loud, bright, extremely annoying, and potentially seizure inducing. All in all, it looks like the ship is about to have a very bad day.

Cog forgetting he's essentially a stowaway decides to run out of the room in panic after shoving the holobook in his back pocket and the two shiny-smooshy thingumajigs into his jacket pocket. "AAAGH," Cog runs in circles panicked by the bright lights and sirens "Cog just wanted shiny-shine! Cog do better clean job! No shoot Cog out airlock" he pleads to the blaring sirens and strobing lights as he continues freaking out.

(3) you get intermingled with the mold that is already the dominant life form on the ship. You find it hard to tell where you begin and The EntityTM ends. SOme lettuce in the fridge is grazing on you.

(4) You find a maintenance access grate at the top of a recessed ladder on one wall. The ladder is, naturally, slick with slime, but you make a handy debris pile and climb up to the grate, turn the handle, turn your head sideways, and wriggle into the accessway. It's awkward going with your head sideways to accomodate your antlers, but luckioly for you you have eyes on the side of your head so you can see ahead reasonably well. There's gotta be a hosing off room somewhere up ahead, right?

Scurry back to that navigation room and see what the ship is freaking out about now...
(1) the hologram is just laying there on the table, sobbing uncontrollably, sending virtual dust flying with her desparate hiccoughs, black streaks of tearstained soot running down her luminescent face. Well, that's no help at all.

Run away from the scary/annoying loud noise to my safe space ((which hopefully conveniently happens to be near the place boarders will board so that I can watch them))
(1) You scurry into a safe hole and end up in a face off with a possum. Do all possums mouths open that wide, or is this some sort of needle toothed demon straight from the land of rocking chairs?

Cog forgetting he's essentially a stowaway decides to run out of the room in panic after shoving the holobook in his back pocket and the two shiny-smooshy thingumajigs into his jacket pocket. "AAAGH," Cog runs in circles panicked by the bright lights and sirens "Cog just wanted shiny-shine! Cog do better clean job! No shoot Cog out airlock" he pleads to the blaring sirens and strobing lights as he continues freaking out.
running in circles, check. shouting and begging for his life? Check. Panic and lose his mind? You .. you bolded this. I gotta roll it. (4) Cog freaks out so hard he runs straight to the airlock and begins licking the glass window babbling about hygiene and the survival rate of sirens. He wets himself completely and strips whatever lower body garments he was wearing to spread the ... cleansing ... around the airlock door, the walls nearby, the floor, and his own head. Oddly, a hologram of a Female Goblin accompanies him on this task, waving around a dirty upper body garment and hooting like an owl while whining about bright lights and dim crewmates.



alright, no one has either fired on, communicatred with, or somehow placated the boarders so I gotta roll some thingums
First, just how aggressively do tehy disable the ship's weapons or whatever? (6) Good news/bad news. They do not violently disable the ships weapons at all. The weapons simply stop firing. All the holograms go rigid, frozen in whatever pose th3ey had: goblin mid hoot, bra mid swing, tear streaked girl mid sob, snot arcing dramatically from her nose, directional light displays frozen mid rotation, pointed God-knows-where, flight safety demonstrators frozen mid asphyxiation routine. And then the engi8ne shuts down and the lights and gravity go out.

Now, how aggressively do they board? (1) There is a loud explosion. Like really really fucking loud. Like, everyone is stunned for a while: eels, goblin, cat, drone, possum, even the mold is startled into sporelessness. And then the air pressure drops. and then the "exposed to vacuum" alarms start before a bunch of airlocks seal up - most notably in the direction of cargo, armory, assuming this thing had that, and the bar, which this thing definitely had.


So, to sum up:
air pressure is dangerously low and you all need to find or utilize whatever space gear you have available
lights: out
gravity: off
ship['s A.I. silent and dark
cargo bay: exposed to vacuum
boarders: present - but not where you guys are.

zygomuc senses the drop in pressure, and tries to find some sort of container with an airtight seal for self-preservation. He might have to shed some of his mass, but that's only if nothing of suitable size for his current form can be found.

The four of you get into some kind of space gear, thereby weathering the ... weather.

After a bit of banging and shuffling, the invaders eventually go quiet. The ship is in atmospheric breech lockdown, and the computer is still silent.

current group objectives (act on these or not, up to you)
1) repair hull breech
2) investigate (and repel) invaders
3) restore atmosphere and remove lockdown
4) reboot the A.I

(2) you are stymied by a sealed airlock. You do see some graffiti sprayed in glowing neon on the wall across the airlock. "Gardone Wuz Heer." Judging from the vividness of the spray, it was painted quite recently. Must have been the invaders. They were heer!

(6) Zygomuc discovers, through the mold network, that a significant portion of the ship around the cargo bay is sealed off. The major leak must be over there. Reports are coming in that the mold is crusting over any spots near there where air is moving, be it holes, vents, doorways, fans, or nostrils. Reports are also coming in that some sort of drone is spreading some k9ind of thick goo in the area. Whetehr this is related to the leak or not remains to be seen.
