Thread: Heart of Transparisteel (Mr. M and tempted kitsune)

Main computer, Dexis 343 category 7 light cargo vessel, serial number 433-382-220-458-534-345, designated Fox's Tears . ACCESS REQUEST General Layout and Deck Plans. GRAPHICS MODE Disabled. Text descriptive mode engaged. The Tears is similar to other ships of its classification. The vessel has a single central pressure deck with pseudogravity plating, in order to minimize the necessary life support requirements. The primary cargo deck is kept unpressurized and is not commonly accessed during flight specific sections of engineering access can be made livable for short periods for repair and maintenance in the field. Atmospheric flight is effected by after-market modified Sendrian Model 446K grav turbines, and realspace propulsion is provided by the standard twin Dexis-19 radiant ion engines, although bursts of greater speed can be provided by employing an additional Dexis-2 hydrogen thruster which has been installed on the ventral spine. Shift-space capabilities are rated above standard for the class shift-speed has not been altered, but the possible range of each shift-transit has been increased. Shipboard weapons include CLASSIFIED Shipboard defenses include CLASSIFIED Internal compartments are separated by pressure bulkheads in case of breach. In the following description, each of the separate chambers can be isolated and pressurized separately. Computer interface is shielded from external monitoring of equivalent sophistication, but full wireless interface is available within the vessel. Primary operative control is effected from the cockpit physical controls are combined with HALO-effected displays and informational sensor readings to allow the pilot to handle all necessary functions, with possible voice-control with the main computer. There are two flight-duty stations at the rear of the cockpit for additional crew or passengers, but only the pilot is absolutely necessary. Immediately aft of the cockpit is the common area. A long central table occupies the middle of the chamber, although it can be recessed into the floor if necessary. Folding seats and storage lockers line the walls, and smaller tables can be extruded between wall seats for various purposes. The aft wall of the common area is split around the rear access hatch. To the port is the head, with standard facilities for both pseudogravity and weightless use, shower with both sonic and water options, etc. To the starboard is the galley, with food storage and preparation facilities of whatever sorts the ship owners see fit to equip. The vessel has close to 100 water reclamation and can safely process protein and nutrients through the life support systems, as is typical of long-range multipurpose vessels of this type. To the port and starboard are the crew cabins. Each is a rectangular chamber with a hatch in the middle of the long side connecting to the common area, and two fold-out bunks at each fore and aft end. In the case of the Tears , the port cabin has been claimed by the captain, and the starboard cabin has been designated the passenger cabin, though very few passengers have ever resided there. Aft of the common area, through the rear access hatch, is the gangway. It connects the airlock to the common area, and it allows access to the two rear storage compartments. The starboard rear storage compartment has been designated the tool room, and it contains all the equipment and many of the parts necessary to overhaul and repair the ship. Mechanical skill varies, but the central computer contains detailed repair instructions for every component system, and the tool room has been carefully stocked to ensure that all but the most rare and expensive components can be fixed or replaced in the field. The port rear storage compartment has been designated the armory, and it contains all the weaponry and ammunition and maintenance equipment necessary to maintain an effective lifestyle as an interstellar mercenary. The airlock is the only real access to the pressure deck emergency exit can be gained, but at the sacrifice of hull integrity. The armored pressure door to the ship is on the forward bulkhead of the compartment, and from this chamber, there is a hatch to a ladder to port that goes down to a ventral hatch with access to the cargo deck, a hatch to a ladder to starboard that goes up to a dorsal hatch, and a door to the aft which opens onto the primary access ramp that folds down from the rear of the vessel. Vacc suits and other survival equipment are kept in lockers recessed into the walls here. FILE ENDS.
