Where is everyone then?

If you check out the Characters thread there's a list of current character locations, and I just added an exploration map to show the areas of the ship they've already explored. This isn't a fully comprehensive map as it only shows the locations which the characters have either actually been to or have been able to get a look at through viewports and will be expanded as they venture further into the ship.

The [i]Lone Star[/i]'s currently passing through an asteroid belt, but it would still be possible for another shuttle to rendezvous with it if they had an exceptional pilot in control.

The ship itself appears to have been abandoned for years with minimal life support and 'something' prowling the decks, the party were already attacked by one of these somethings, but it got blown apart with a plasma charge before they were able to get a good look at it. While it's highly unlikely that anyone could've survived in those conditions it isn't impossible, but you'd have to plan to be playing a character in a similar situation to 'Newt' in [i]Aliens[/i], Noland (Lawrence Fishburn's character) from [i]Predators[/i] or Ben Gunn from [i]Treasure Island[/i], a lone survivor who's only managed to survive on their wits and salvaged supplies.

Some of the characters have been given secret information via PM which they may choose to use to help carry the story forwards, and I'm happy to discuss any secret ideas people would like to put forwards to help their own characters develop more. I may block things which contradict other character's agendas too much, but anything people want to add will be fairly considered.
