Ok, thanks.

Are we seeing that ship looking thing in the cameras?

The view you see in Map 1 (map for group 1, actually) is from your camera.

What is that bluish color at the back of the object?

That's the best resolution you have at this distance. You will have to get closer to see more :-)

It's some kind of space warping demon manifesting...

Got it in one...

Or the singularity...

Out of character, who wants to go over to the derelict?

Malcolm is up for it...

Whoops! I did not read a part that referenced me. I thought everything was happening on the bridge. I'm glad I made it out of the evil flour attack!

Back in the officers and crew quarters, the maneuvering alarm, while not the same tooth-twisting howl of the emergency alarms, is more than enough to awaken everyone.

Standard procedure is for everything to be secured for acceleration, but a loud clatter and a muffled curse sounds outside Malcolm's stateroom door.

This was the start of Malcolm's flour bomb adventure. Which, by the way, this can get really serious if he doesn't do something about it. A spark could be deadly...

So, I dont get it, did you resolve it for me already in Game Posts or can I still lock them all in there to meet their doom?

Also, I am not 100% sure how to roll for anything. lets say I try to hack a computer, how do I do that? or let say that I am trying to detect if someone is lying to me? how do I roll for that? sorry, this game is new to me. :-)

Basically, to complete a task successfully, you have to roll your skill level or lower on 3d6, after adding or subtracting any modifiers that I might make. Easier tasks add, harder tasks subtract from the dice roll.

It's fairly new to me, too, so no worries. Also, I tend to keep the dice rolling in the background for some things, but I'll try to share :-)

OK, still, did you resolve it for me in Game Posts or should I resolve it, it sounds like it was resolved already...

Malcolm still has a problem to solve - flour dust in a passageway thick enough to be a potential danger.

Danger!  Danger!  Vent the the ship to hard vacuum!  :)

Gareth probably won't go unless ordered.

Ok, I can take a selection of NPC's.  Probably an engineer type and a couple others.  It would be good to have two groups of two to explore.

Your crew is mostly newbies and other poor souls who can't get a better posting. The PCs are far and away the most experienced (and reliable) people aboard. Of the other competent people, they are manning positions that have to be manned.

Malcolm is here to watch a cargo shipment, but he appears to know what he's about. As for Gareth and Brent, you will have to decide for yourselves how you ended up with this posting :-)

Brent is the First Officer, so he can pretty much take anyone other than the chief engineer, the doctor, the Bosun, and the captain. How many you can take is something you will have to ask the captain.

That all makes sense.

I'll bring those with decent zero g experience

Total how many crew members do we have on board?

There are 21 people on the ship, counting you three.

How would Malcolm get updated info on his cargo? Can I get to it myself?
