Table 1 - Cargo Hold Scene Aspects
http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Ellen_Ripley |
- Leaky chemical drums with illegible labels
- Shiny new biohazard containers stacked neatly on pallets
- A chemical spill, again?!?
- Is that alien snot or some kind of lubricant?
- Laser torches, fully charged and ready to go
- Plenty of
improvised weaponstools - Stowaways/lurkers in the way
- Is that an airlock? Why is the blast door ajar?
- Can't see all the way up on top of those (a big stack of cargo boxes, engineering equipment, etc.)
- Never noticed all those ventilator shafts before
- Critter swarm (space rats, space roaches, Trelebs with Pervasoids)
- Heavy cargo lifter (see the photo, above)
- Maintenance bots (active)
- Maintenance bots re-charging in botbays
- Motion/heat activated lighting (see only in your own Zone, unless something else is out there moving)
- Flashing strobe alarm lights only (good for Compels)
- Dim lighting (see out 1 Zone only)
- No lighting (good for Compels)
- Force barrier up
- Cages - locked? -unlocked?
- Cages - something got loose
- Raw power jacks
- That looks like contraband
- Cargo lift (doors in the floor)
- Cargo elevator (doors in the wall)
- Stale air, thin air, soon no air
- That radiation klaxon is deafening (good for Compels)
- Sliding blast doors (drop from overhead or close sideways)
- Big boxes with fancy locks - what's in those, I wonder?
- Those items have been missing for a while... what are they doing down here?
Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about things like.
ReplyDelete"All the Cargo is in MicroG and not strapped down and floating about"
It's easy to get things going and really hard to stop it, plus any change in ship vector will have an effect on the cargo movement.

@Tim: I had absolutely not thought about Micro-G, which seems silly in retrospect. That is really brilliant. I would imagine the default for Micro-G storage might be clamping things to bulkheads, or storing things in cargo web material. Things get bad when stuff gets unclamped or the webbing gets unmoored from the bulkheads - especially when the ship starts a burn!
