Yes, but two of the components are warm. One of them is too warm for human life, but the other (the 290 K) one seems inhabitable, even if it is on the cool side (16 degrees Celsius).

I've been living in Germany for too long... 16 sounds downright balmy.

Uh.. I guess she'll do some research... learn enough to get defaults in planetology, space colonization, salvage, and other things that seem related. Also, she'll have the ships computers run searches for her own face connected to other names.

And of course do whatever repairs and so on she's able to help with. And if there's any time left over, she'll use the gym equipment.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and if it can come up in conversation (with a little prodding... those points in Smooth Operator should start pulling their weight ;)), she's going to try to figure out why the captain is yellow, why the steersman is blue and has a tail, and why none of the crew seem to find this odd.

I've made an IC post about this.

Curiouser and curiouser!

Hmm.. how does age work in this universe? Is it a rare exception that a 200 year old can be so spry?

[there's nothing in the ship's library about the arkton, which is very odd.]

Weird. Could the captain and lev have deleted that data to prevent nosy passengers?

Typical life span is something more than twice what it is in today's high-quality medical care countries. There is a lot of variation, and there are a number of groups that have longer lifespans. Spacers tend to live longer, too.

That there's no information is very odd. Someone has probably removed it.

Approaching the cargo? I thought the drone was meant to be investigating the station.

Is Andrew the only one who can see the video feed?
