Creds surveys the shelf of bottles. Some of this might be a collector's item! He takes the cap off one of the more opulent bottles and gives the booze a whiff.
OOC:
Trying to get a sense of whether any of these boozes would be in demand elsewhere, as well as general ideas on how fancy this booze is on a scale of bathtub moonshine to barrel-aged cognac.

Guessing at difficulty, but figure most people can tell good booze from bad, with the added setbacks of unfamiliar culture and darkness.

Interestingly, the bottom shelf seems to be just that, average or less. Where as the top two shelves seem to contain smoother smelling drinks and based on the decorative design of the bottles, might have been a little expensive. Also, the three fanciest bottles do not appear to have ever been opened.

Creds swipes the three unopened bottles and grabs an opened bottle of mid-shelf stuff for Ken. He heads back to the main room to see what they've discovered.

Without any logical precedent for search patterns, AD-hoc chooses to start with the first door on the left.

Ken receives the bottle gratefully and gives it a sniff. He takes a swig and savours the aged flavour. Joining AD-hoc in the search with a new sense of bravado. He shares the bottle around.
OOC:
Can Ken figure out how old these drinks are/how long they've been open?

Ken's had better, but he can't really remember when. The seal on the cap is in good shape and the dust on the bottle is consistent with the rest of the environment. With the sealed environment, it could be a hundred or a thousand years. Though, the trees outside growing up through the perma-crete indicate probably closer to the latter.

AD-hoc opens the first door he comes to, and it's an office. A single desk sits with a version of a computer. The keyboard is in the same script as the flimsy that Creds had found. There's a stack of polymer squares on the side of the desk, possibly portable data storage for the computer. Beside that is a blank display, about 6 inches wide by 3 inches tall.

"I don't think anyone will object if we take this to search for data later." After confirming the computer also doesn't have any power, AD-hoc will pack up it and the squares.
