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

@Legend Begins

*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 smooth 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*

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

@Legend Begins

*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*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

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

@Legend Begins

*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.

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

@Legend Begins

*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.

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

@Legend Begins

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.

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

@Legend Begins

*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.

It's probably a pretty nice place to live.

@Legend Begins

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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

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

@Legend Begins

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.

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

@Legend Begins

Pfff. Alright man, whatever you say.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Too bad. I'd try to go and knock it over, but it's probably too heavy.

@Legend Begins

… Why?
