Bridge:The command hub of the Gambit, the bridge is restricted Access! Two securities guards clad in CBR-5 tactical body armor and armored with H-260 valiant assault laser rifles, guard this area. There is a pilot’s terminal, navigational terminal, communications terminal, sensory terminal, and two weapons terminals (which each terminal can control any or all the weapon systems aboard the) in addition to the Officer in Command’s terminal.
Captains Quarters: The Captains small room has his bed a large locker and closet at its foot. The Captain gets a private head fully equipped for all the needs. Opposite of the locker is a work desk and self unit built into the wall. The computer and hard wired phone are built into the desk.

Executive Officers Quarters: The EXO’s small room has his bed a large locker and closet at its foot. Like the Captain the EXO gets a private head fully equipped for all the needs. Opposite of the locker is a work desk and self unit built into the wall. The computer and hard wired phone are built into the desk.

Sickbay: The Gambits sickbay much like its science labs are state of the art. There are four exam rooms which also serve as surgical ERs. There are eight patient beds with all the necessary equipment to monitor their occupants. But unless the injuries require the patient to be monitored they are sent to their bunks to recover. There is a small work area for the nurses and doctors on staff.

Engineering:This is where the ship get hers power from. The fold drives and protoculture storage are all part of this section of the ship. All the secondary systems are also housed here.

Briefing Room:There are two briefing rooms on the Gambit A and B. Both are identical to the other. There is a podium wired into the wall video screen behind it. There are four rolls of five desks for taking notes on.

Flight Deck/Hanger: Here is where the Veritechs are housed, stored and repaired as needed. There are movable hoist and pulley systems that are used to work on the damaged Veritechs. Along with the compartments and space to store the equipment necessary to maintain their Veritechs. In fact given time parts and personnel the deck hands could rebuild a disassembled Veritech with the tools housed here.  There is also a small area set aside for the deck crew to store their personal equipment when not on duty. Two of the lockers have a brewing still inside.

Horizon Shuttle Hanger deck: Here is where the Gambit’s Horizon Shuttle is housed when not in use. It has its own maintenance crew and tools to maintain their shuttle. There is an entry to the Mecha storage bay here so the Mecha can be loaded quickly for deployment.

Officers Quarters: Officers have a little more private quarters then the enlisted, their quarters are shared with another officer close to their own rank. Their bunks are stacked one on top of the other with a dark curtain for privacy. Each bunk has a small 20” flat screen TV at the foot of the bed and a small shelf that they can put their stuff on including a small lockable drawer between the two bunks. The small room has a small a small desk with a light and their personal lockers on the other side of the four foot aisle space.

Crews quarters:The unisex crew quarters are six bunks to a compartment. The Bunks are stack two high with dark privacy curtains. With four lined up on one wall head to foot and the six personal lockers near the entrance with the other two bunks on the opposite wall. Each bunk has a small 20” flat screen TV at the foot of the bed and a small shelf that they can put their stuff on including a small lockable compartment to store the small valuables.  There is a small writing desk at the far end of the four foot isle. With the exception of their bunks there is no privacy here.

Common Room: this is where the soldier come to relax. Various unit patches are on the walls. With limited space aboard the Gambit everyone has to share this space. Two couches sit in front of the large screen panel on the wall to watch movies. Three tables with chairs sit behind them for playing cards or other games.  This place usually has informal promotion ceremonies and award presentations followed by unit parties.

Science Laps:The Gambits research and science laps are state of the art. Though not as spacious as the larger ships in the UEEF fleet there is nothing left for wanting within for these work stations.

Post Exchange; PX: Here members can perchance personal and recreational items. There is not much room and it is little better then a walk-in closet. Not much changes on the shelves when traveling though space though. Usually, the PX’s will get together and trade goods when two or more Earth-operated ships can dock together. Occasionally a member will sell something new (well, used) in the consignment section.

Gym:The Gambits gym is in fairly good shape, it has two treadmills a stair masters machine and a small Varity of weight machines which allows the troops aboard the Gambit to work out. As well as small selection of free weights, jump ropes and handful of rubber mats and the exercise ball. The walls are line with mirrors.
Brig/security office: The ships master at arms office as well as the Gambits security forces lockers are located across the hall from the four detention cells. Each cell eight by eight can hold two persons in their small bunks.

Mess Hall: This is a basic mess hall. There are six round tables for eight opposite of the chow line. There are soda fountain drinks as well as a wide Varity of juices and teas. Salad and two different soups are offered with the afternoon and evening meals. The mess hall is open for the third shifts lunch after that they shut down and clean up till the morning shift only to begin another day.

Armory: This is where the ships small arms and explosives are stored. There is always somebody from security standing guard in full gear, CBR-5 tactical body armor and shield.

"I should report to the CO, I will let you all know how it goes." Cerise leaves and heads straight to Commander Rockatansky's office, and presses the button to request access.

OOC: It has been a while, so I'm a little foggy on whether Commander Rockatansky is the CO for us on the Gambit's mission, or what the situation was.

  GM: Yes Commander Rockatansky is your CO and head of the Gambits Intelligence Operation.

OOC: From what i can remember, we got in a badly outnumbered spacebattle, crashed on the planet's surface (losing two in the crash), then we decided to check out the local abandoned base for parts and (secret) a set of nav maps as ours got destroyed in the crash so we could use those to get home.

I think there was also something about a ground team of survivors from the base that were leading us to it... And then we got picked up. Yay Deus Ex Machina. That's... pretty much what i remember.

Cerise - You enter Commander Rockatansky office. He gestures you to take a seat on the other side of his desk before speaking; "I am sorry for your losses, but I am glad to see you made it back."


  GM Note: Veritech Pilots are in their Veritechs and Land in the Hanger.

A few days after his arrival on the human's space vessel, Severian initially wanders the ship and getting the stares and avoidance of its human crew. After finding the common room, he spends his time there watching some human movies.

He gets amusement from the "Lord of the Rings", series of films.

Upon her return, Miriana briefed the mechanics on the status of the ship and what needed to be done -- most notably, restore the navigational star charts -- as well as the more physical parts that needed to be replaced and/or looked at. Once done, she returned to her room to play some more Perfect Night on her VR set.

She did leave her communicator on in case she would be called in for a briefing, or receive the next assignment. But until either that happened, or it was time to visit the mess hall in a couple of hours to avoid the main rush.

Cerise gives a detailed account of the action, just in case anything was left out of the information the Commander has received. She makes sure to include each decision she made, for his analysis. Then she follows with her performance self-review; "It was very fortunate for us that help arrived when it did. With such a tragic loss on my very first mission, I'm prepared to accept demotion from team lead; obviously the lives of those under my command are my responsibility, and I let so many down. I would, however, very much appreciate advice on how to better fare in such a situation, should I find myself in command again when something like this occurs."

Approching the Gambit, michelle feels a sense of loss and pain finally setting in. Batgirl to Gambit, awaiting final docking instructions. she waits till its her turn to land.

  Once she has successfully landed, she informs her team of all that needs attention on her veritech. Once she is done she makes her way to showers. She lets the hot water wash the filth of the planet off. Once she has made it to her quarters she simply lays down on her bunk.

  Severian - It does not take long before the general crew accept you. Infact your love for the lord of the Ring trilogy even has several showing genuine friendship. One even pulls out the hobbit trilogy as well.

  Miriana - no one radios you before you head to the mess hall. You do find most of the team is linger here as well. some huddled up and chatting and a couple sitting alone in silence.


 Cerise - Commander Rockatansky expression does not change as he listens. He does not interrupt or gestures in any way. When you finish he speaks. "what would you have done different? Your shuttle was hit and knock out of the sky, your pilots and troops followed orders and some died. This happens in war. I did not see anything that showed you a reckless commander.  I do not see a need to relieve you of your command. We have learned several important things with your encounter. First we have Invid in this region, and it is possible that a science Level Invid leading them.

  Once the Vulture is ready, you and your team will be sent out again. We are waiting for two colony vessels which will be here in the next seventy two hours or so. Check on your team, make sure they are all ready to go."

Iphigenia sighs in relief as she sees and hears reinforcements arrive. She was worried for her wounded, she knew she needed better equipment and doctors who fully understood what was happening to her patients.

When the reinforcements arrived Iphigenia began shouting "No, Stop, that's the wrong person,  take Lt. Murphy, she is the most severely wounded, the others can walk!"

Iphigenia rode with Lt. Murphy and upon arriving at the gambit, she made sure that the Lt. was in the best care as possible.  After Iphigenia gave a description of everybody's injuries, she went to the doctor in charge and asked to be relieved.

She went to her assigned room and passed out.

 Iphigenia - You help the ship medics with the wounded and get lt. Murphy to sickbay. The doctors get your analysis quickly and then dismiss you.

  your sleep is rough at best as you keep thinking about the battle

  Sillia Exist the shuttle and takes her armor and weapons to the ships armory, She quickly field strips her rifle, cleans it before reassembling it. She then checks it to the master of arms and makes her way to the mess hall. She smiles as she see the young Lieutenant sitting there and makes her way to her table after getting a sample variety of each item being served.

  "Good evening mam. she says with a grin showing he pearly white behind her transparent rebreather. Ma I join you?"  she says not even waiting for an answer as she sits down.

  "Have you heard anything about the Vulture or any of our teams mecha?" She politely inquired as she removed her mask and lets it hang.

"I don't know how I could have done better. Thank you sir. I will make sure my team is all prepared by the time the Vulture is repaired." Having taken the Commander's remarks as orders, Cerise stood at attention and waited to be dismissed. Once dismissed she salutes and heads to her quarters. There she sends out a secure communication to the members of her team, letting them know that the team will be shipping back out as soon as the Vulture is repaired. Then she sends a missive to logistics to make sure her team's expendables are all resupplied, and that 4 Cobalt Grenades are issued to each team member who doesn't currently have them, and that 10 limpet mines are issued for the team, to be stowed on-board the Vulture. She also lets them know that there have been additions to her team, and that they will need to be resupplied, and possibly issued mecha.

Finally she heads to the mess hall, since she knows that is where the officers gather to socialize or recreate. Seeing Severian, she approaches him first; "Please pardon my interrupting your movie, but I wanted to let you know that logistics knows that you have joined my team, so that you may request supplies." Then she notices what they are watching. "Ahh, this appears to be a movie concerned with the Earth wizards we'd discussed; interesting!"

"Gambit, this is Reader, requesting permission to dock." She finally called on the communicator to the Gambit. Once allowed she will land where instructed.

When landed she will open the cockpit, and climb out. The lithe and petite young woman taking stock in her surroundings as she looked around. She gave a gentle sigh, and then grabbed a small satchel that had a small case tied to the bottom of it from her cockpit and climbed down.

Considering she had no quarters here, least that she knew of, she would made her way to the mess hall unless someone redirects her elsewhere.

  Skyrah - As you disembark from your Veritech a several members of the deck the run over. One of them speaks in a very excited voice. "Greetings Lieutenant, my name is Nick." He is not much older then yourself. "We will be your Veritech maintenance crew, while your on the Gambit. if there are any problems or any weapon payloads you would like, let us right away so we can get them fixed right up."

  Once you finish with them a young officer approaches, she is wearing a uniform for the intelligence, branch her dark hair is pulled back into a ponytail and she looks at the tablet in her hand then back up at you before speaking. "Lt. Valentine, You will be reporting to second lieutenant Cerise, who is under the direct command of Commander Rockatansky, head of the Gambit's fleet Intelligence branch. You will be bunking with lt. Grey, you two should know each other from Eden's research complex. Your room is one twenty five. you can get some uniforms and any other personal items you need from the PX, they are expecting you and the others from the ground to tend to your groups need. once you have gathered your basics, report to the ship's housing and they will get you your bedding. Welcome aboard lieutenant Valentine." she shows you the deck plans of the Gambit on her tablet. And then head off to the next person she needs to speak to.

Mariana was playing her VR game when a sound caught her attention, and she knew it to be her communicator. She paused momentarily to answer it, and listened to the message. Taking a deep breath, she decided to get to the mess hall to get some food before she'd be called in for the next mission again, even if the Vulture was damaged badly enough that repairs were going to take a while they did sometimes issue temporary replacements for the more urgent missions.

Kaarle was one of the last Veritech pilots to dock back on the Gambit.  This wasn't by design or intention, it was simply a matter of timing on his part for which he gave it no mind.  There were more troubling thoughts coursing through his head, specifically the deaths of Doshi and Epiphany, as well as the field promotion that resulted from it...

He sat in his Delta for quite some time after landing in guardian mode.  This wasn't how his first mission was supposed to turn out, it wasn't what he had wanted for any of them.  With a heavy heart he slowly opened the cockpit.  He was exhausted in both mind and spirit, each step was a tremendous effort but he trudged on, climbing down slowly before motioning to the mechanics to begin their work repairing and refitting the Delta so that it was ready at a moments notice.

"Please take care to have this machine ready ASAP, no telling when I'll need to take her back out again..." he said without so much as thank you or a lick of emotion for anyone to perceive.

Without another word he proceeded to his quarters, more specifically his bunk.  It wouldn't be long before he was called for debriefing and he meant to clean up and get as much rest as was possible before those orders came.

Skyrah would look at the excited maintenance crewman with that one green eye and one blue eye of hers. Heterochromia it was called, where one had eye's of differing colors. "Nick, was it?" She asked in a seemingly emotionless tone as she was calculating those gathered before her. "Pull my Cyclone from the Cyclone bay of my Delta and see to it's repairs. They should be minor, mostly superficial." She said, simply. She was obviously quite young, but at the same time quite mature and disciplined.



"I assume that eventually someone will want to debrief me on what occurred on the planet?" Skyrah asked as she examined the officer before her. "I know Lieutenant Grey." Then she nodded, awaiting an answer to her first question before asking her next. "I assume after all of that, I should be able to eat? And the mess is there?" She asked calmly, pointing to the mess location on the deck plans.

"Yes - and disappointing", Severian said. "I had thought earth wizards were real and not the stuff of...Entertainment - a pity. As far as requesting supplies, I would have no idea what to request for the moment."
