*It opens with a click and opens itself up, revealing a fancy cavalry saber with a blade made of some sort of bluish alloy, and a sleek black rifle that sports a sleek physical design one would expect of a futuristic military empire, but is much more primitive in its purpose as it seems to be a conventional ballistic firearm*

@Magnanimity

Wow...
*Runs my finger across its length*

*The only thing under the bed is a large, closed gray case. I walk away from the closet and over to the personal computer, and wake it up only to stop and stare at the screen in silence*

@Magnanimity

*Pulls out the case and throws it onto the bed, then tries to open it*

*The drawers don’t seem to really hide anything at all, just contain spare uniforms of different colors*
Anytime I start to feel that way, I just remember that all these folks are probably gone, and no one’s come back looking for any of this stuff… I guess that does still feel bad actually.

@Magnanimity

A moment of silence...
*Pauses for a few seconds and then checks under the bed*

*Walks over to the closet and tries to slide the door open, but it seems to be locked*
I miss feeling like a hulk already, a little bit.

@Magnanimity

I feel bad about this...
*Starts checking the drawers for a key*

I imagine they were in charge of the whole ship, unless there were multiple admirals on one. Or if this is some weird society where admirals aren’t highly ranked.

@Magnanimity

*Walks up to admire one of the photos*
Very cool. Well-earned.

*The door opens up to a cozy looking bedroom space, with a computer terminal tucked along the wall on the right, a bed in the corner on the left, and a closet tucked into the close corner on our right. The room is decorated with various hunting memorabilia, including exotic creatures’ heads mounted on the walls, pictures of a man posing with game, and posters*
Wow.

@Magnanimity

Wow... whoever lived here must have been important.

Just needs society. Not a lot of that to go around.
*As we come upon the admiral’s quarters once again, the panel that showed a need for power previously is instead lit up green with a blue check in the center*

@Magnanimity

Not yet.
*Taps the check, this time on the first try*

I’ve not been in one of these before where the power was fully working. I’d almost say I’m curious to see what the rest is like when it’s not dark, decaying and creepy.

@Magnanimity

It's probably a pretty nice place to live.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Pfff. Alright man, whatever you say.

@Magnanimity

The automatic doors are nice.
*Swings my arms as I head down the hall and heads back to the fork*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

… Why?

@Magnanimity

The deep-seated male urge to push over heavy objects? I don't know, it sounds fun.
