Episode 1: A New Hutt

Dud gets to work on the eastern door, which is locked with a basic computerised door locking mechanism. Dud can see this has been locked from the other side of the door. Though its also possible that the mechanism is faulty (or sabotaged) somehow on the other end because the door is jammed and glitching like crazy. After a few minutes Dud finally bypasses the locking system but the mechanism gives him one almighty big shock as a goodbye / parting gift :)

OOC:

Dud takes 1 strain from being shocked. I have marked this on your character sheet

The door opens to a long corridor that ends in darkness. Along the corridor to the left you can see 3 rooms that indicate 3 refreshers (bathrooms) most likely used by the miners, 2 of the refreshers are open but the middle one is closed. On the opposite side along the right of the corridor you see a single door that is closed but not locked. The air in this corridor is damp and smells like old sweat mixed with something you can't quite place. The only sound you hear is a constant drip, drip, drip, dripping from one of the refreshers.

What do you do?

Map for reference:

Gwekk slightly pales at the sight of a long dark hallway ending in darkness. He stops himself from blurting out another movie name and decides to look for some sort of light switch or glow rod.Fortunately for Gwekk, near the bulkhead separating the reception area from the rest of the facility, he finds a light switch controlling the lighting system in the hallway. Flipping it, Gwekk frowns as the hallway light do not turn on after repeatedly trying to activate the hallway lights. He sighs about to give up and wander into the darkness with his new friends when he notices a small emergency supply station. Inside he finds an emergency glow rod in working condition.

Gwekk lights up the hallway in a pale sickly yellow glow, the light isn't very strong but its strong enough to know that the corridor you're on ends just up ahead and then snakes off in a right turn.

Jack reaches around and pushes firmly on the refresher door to open it.

As he does that a body of a Trandoshan male falls out of the room, he lands face first onto the ground beside Jack, limp and stone. cold. dead.

What do you do now?

Jack recoils back in shock as Trandosian falls at my feet and backs away involuntarily. He composes himself, remembering the company he is keeping and nervously prods at the Trandosian before turning him over and looking for any form of id or clear reasons for the cause of death.

You can see without much effort that this is one of the miners, by the fact they they are wearing a dull and dirty mining uniform. If you roll the body over you can also see they've been taken out by a blaster, a clear shot in the chest.

As you each stand there contemplating what to do next you hear a booming automated voice over the mine's PA system:

"WARNING! WARNING! Storm Barrier Generator Four compromised. Functioning units compensating effectively. Send maintenance as soon as possible. Warning! Warning!"

Gwekk is briefly unnerved at the alarm announcement. "I can't die on my first mission! That's bad for business!"

The moment of panic dissipates and Gwekk quiclky runs through his options. He fidgets with the glow rod, eventually turning it on. Gwekk sighs with some relief. Looking down the darkened hallway Jack indicated, "Let's find you a terminal to fix all of this! You know, before the whole dying thing."

Gwekk stares uneasily down the darkened hallway, takes a large breathe, and begins slowly moving deeper into the mining facility.

Gwekk leads the Hood's crew down the hallway illuminating the space with his glow rod. Turning the corner you come across the miner's quarters with rows of small rooms each with two bunks inside. The air is quiet again. As you pass some rooms you see things scattered around as if the people left their rooms in a rather large hurry.

There is a door about halfway down the new hallway and at the end of the hallway and of course you can go back the way you came.

What do you do!?
