conversations.value: You wake up in the black. You blink. Push your way out of the cryopod. 
  
  There's a humming all around you. Beneath your bare feet the floor is cold. It's a ship, but you don't remember boarding it. 
  
  In fact, you don't remember anything at all.

conversations.value: All the Problems: The ship is throwing up multiple malfunctions -can you manage to put them right?
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Basics: People are shaken and off-kilter. Help them adjust.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Step 1: Preparation: Let's not beat about the bush here: you basically need to make a bomb.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Step 2: Execution: However step 1 just went, step 2 is basically: (a) Don spacesuits. (b) Try not to explode the ship.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bonding: All this impending doom really brings people together, doesn't it?
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Exploration: When you're not needed for the current crisis you find some time to keep poking around the ship. What do you find?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The door: Because you weren't suffocating quickly enough before.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Food & Drink: Such a pesky requirement. Still, there's a galley. It stands to reason there's food too. And maybe something stronger than water.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Heating Element: This nifty little coiled contraption keeps the air and water at a bearable temperature.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Cooling Chemicals: Heat's good and all, but you might want to regulate it some. Lots of equipment does better at lower temperatures.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: H2O Recirculation Scrubbers: Spaceships can't carry unlimited water, so you've got to clean and retain what you've got.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Check the Ship: Things have settled down some. In between chores, why not do a little exploring? 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Rooms: The crew space seems to consist of a set of rooms with additional storage and a place to sleep. The doors to the rooms have key pads and biometric scanners.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Alpha: The most conspicuous pod. It was empty before any of you woke up, and there appears to be a room set aside for its occupant. Why would only one of the crew be out of cryo, though? Investigate the room and see if you can find something out.
  
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Golf: The Golf cryo pod was inoperable or damaged, with no sign of any occupant. Just a broken piece of equipment, or some kind of sabotage? Was somebody supposed to be in it? Investigate the damaged pod.
  
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: India, Juliet: It’s unclear whether India or Juliet were ever occupied, but shouldn’t you find out? Check the crew quarters to be absolutely sure there aren’t any more unaccounted for crewmembers.
  
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Early Bird...: Somebody woke up early. It was probably the missing person(s), right? Surely. It couldn’t be one of you.
  
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You’ve Got Mail! (Optional): There are messages left in the ship’s… let’s call it ‘general inbox’. At least one appears to be meant for you. Check it out.
  
  [I fully expect these to be subplot plays as they will relate to character backgrounds, but I have attempted to make compelling Strong/Weak outcomes nonetheless.]
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It was Probably Important at the Time: A priority message was being sent and was left unfinished before the crew went into cryo. Reading it should help decipher some clue about what happened. Fortunately(?) it appears keyed to you.

  What do all these pieces of you mean?

  Luxury items.
  
  Basic science.
  
  Why are you on this ship?
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Debater: Seemingly argumentative for the sake of it, the debater is actually evaluating proposals and coming to decisions...by arguing both sides of every damn problem.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Problem Solver: Even if it's not a problem, you'll solve it.
conversations.from: human
