Looking good so far, just a bit more on the ship.<br/><br/><br/>The ISS Venture is divided into five general sections.  Command and Control, Science, Crew, Storage, and Engineering.  The sections are arranged from the front of the ship to the back, but due to the way the artificial gravity is generated, the interior of the ship has the highest point as the front of the ship.  (The front of the exterior of the ship is the top of the interior).<br/><br/>The ISS Venture is divided into decks, the first five, also the narrowest, are Command and Control.  The next ten are Science, mostly laboratories.  The next ten are Crew Quarters, the mess halls, washrooms, entertainment rooms, etc.  The next twenty are storage, and also the widest.  These are made up of massive rooms filled with equipment and goods, and each of these decks is nearly twice as tall as the normal ones.  Finally the last ten are Engineering, where life support, the engines, and so on are located.<br/><br/>The FTL drive is located at the very rear of the ship, between the conventional engines.  It has its own compartment, Deck 0.  The various life support and artificial gravity systems have multiple redundancies, and can only be shut off if a signal is received both from Engineering and Command and Control.<br/><br/>Movement through the ship is possible through a number of elevators, or using ladders.  There are no stairs.<br/><br/>Short range shuttles are attached to the exterior of the cargo section of the ship.  There are also a number of vehicles intended for use on the surface of a planet or moon that can be loaded onto the shuttles when needed.<br/><br/>Deck 0: FTL<br/>Decks 1-10: Engineering<br/>Decks 11-30: Storage<br/>Decks 31-40: Crew<br/>Decks 41-50: Science<br/>Decks 50-55: Command and Control<br/><br/>When the FTL drive was activated, the ship traveled to an unknown location some light years distant.  The navigation computer is unable to determine their exact location but it isn't their intended direction.  Due to the FTL engine overloading several systems, the conventional engines are no longer working, and the ship is slowly drifting through space.  The computer estimates that they will drift into the orbit of a gas giant in 9 days, and begin to enter a decaying orbit with a point of no return being 6 days after that.  If the engines cannot be restarted, or some method of establishing a stable orbit determined, the ship will fall into the gas giant's atmosphere in 15 days.<br/><br/><br/>I will post an IC thread once we have a few more characters submitted here.
