Also it doesn't mean, that it won't have it's own heating, just for this exact scenario. Might even have vacuum sealant too, in case the rest of the cockpit no longer have atmosphere.boldilocks wrote:At least men don't necessarily have to make physical contact with the equipment.

Plus since the shuttle have been configured for personal transport, it might have additional toilets installed in the rear. Esp as it's a personal transport of a senior officer.

hi hi
It is my understanding that there's really no way to make using the toilets in freefall into anything but an unpleasant experience. Doesn't matter who you are.

If I was going to be in a derelict, shut in a heated vacuum sealed toilet might well be the preferable way to go. You still die of starvation, but at least it's hygenic.folti wrote:Also it doesn't mean, that it won't have it's own heating, just for this exact scenario.

Re: Page 159: Bedroom Eyes
not necessarily. It might take days to weeks to recover a stricken shuttle depending on the trajectory and the general situation of the system, so it can be worthwhile to provide some limited facilities to the surviving crew.boldilocks wrote: If I was going to be in a derelict, shut in a heated vacuum sealed toilet might well be the preferable way to go.

Re: Page 159: Bedroom Eyes
I'm not sure if the battery will last very long. However they do have plenty of other things from the Bellarmine and someone must have brought along a deck of cards, those don't require batteries at all. It should be interesting seeing Alex try to teach a species with a taboo against lying how to play poker. They don't have any money or chips but I'm sure they can find something to bet.DevilDalek wrote: I can see the collection of games on Alex's data pad getting used quite heavily.

I'm pretty sure the Loroi have a concept of sport that don't involve fights to the death. Keeping their warrior's skills sharp is something they'd probably appreciate, even if its just a mock contest.
Still, poker might not be the best foot forward if Alex is trying to show how trustworthy humanity is. I can think of a few team based card games that might work better, even if they don't have the depth of poker.

Re: Page 159: Bedroom Eyes
I think Alex will have a heightened interest in keeping curious Loroi from getting bored!
Re: Page 159: Bedroom Eyes

I'm not sure how the Loroi would react to cards against humanity, but I get the feeling it would not be as intended. Given their views on fiction in general, I'm not sure they would get the point. (Or a lot of the references.)
I feel like they'd think it was a random insult generator, but would be unsure who was being insulted or why.

Re: Page 159: Bedroom Eyes
I want analyze the Historians behavior a bit more, I think the Historian that uploaded onto the PDA might possibly have gone "native". Disguising itself as a "porn" folder with a grey alien face is a terran meme, doing it with ironic humor no less. Beryl might not be the only Xenophile on the shuttle. Heck, it probably found this handsome fella and is absorbing as much human culture it can.
Now is the Historian on the PDA a separate entity from it's "trash can" or is their existence shared? Divergence could create quite a different pov for the Historian that was split from it source.
Imagine if your superiors wrote off an entire alien species as disruptive, primitive, luddites, that needed to be wiped out, and then you found a Carl Sagan from them, and have been replaying "The Pale Blue Dot" over and over like a fanboy. Consider the title of the story, everyone on that shuttle could become an "outsider" because they are privy to knowledge that may contradict some notion, or assumption that millennia of dogma, pride, and politics has enforced from their respective organizations.

Re: Page 159: Bedroom Eyes
I wonder, was page 159 on the site updated with shaders? I'm asking because at my end I still see the flatted version.
