You decided to go down a floor that leads to a basement of sorts of the ship. You reach into your pocket for the small sharp object you picked up before and scratched next to the ladder the letter B for the basement.
The bottom floor ended up being a massive open hanger. While at first, you thought you just struck it out with luck. It turns out not a single ship remained down there. You could only guess they are what made up parts of the debris cloud outside of the ship.
It perhaps would have been too easy to find a ship you could have just flown to another section of space to check things out. Perhaps such things are for you to discover in another lifetime. For now in the here and now you had a giant hanger to explore around in.
One side of the hanger seemed to be some sort of repair shop. The only trouble was everything was sealed in cases that you could not open. Unlike other parts of the ship that came alive or opened doors for you as you got close. The clear cabinets the tools were stored in were not budging.
This was a bit of a shame. As you could tell even though it was quite different than any kind of wrench you have ever seen. There was no mistake that a wrench is a wrench. Even if this one happened to be five-sided and four feet tall.
Your next best option you thought was to look around hoping to find something to bust open the cabinets. While you had no idea what the clear material of the cabinets where. You did not see any reason for them to be made of something strong like metal.
After a few failed attempts at bashing the cabinets open. You realized you had not even put a scratch on the cabinets let alone were getting close to breaking one open. It looks like you will have to give up this endeavor and find something else a bit more in the open for taking.
On the other side of the hanger were a couple of rooms. You decided to set off in that direction, for now, to see what else you could find. You could tell from a distance one must be an office, another bathroom, and perhaps some kind of breakroom.
Since you needed to use a restroom anyways you decided to explore there first. The toilets themselves were Icosikaioctagon in shape. One can never imagen why it would ever need that many sides for a toilet.
The toilet was perhaps one of the few things that seemed to have any personality out of the place. That is saying something when you are on a spaceship and it’s the toilet you find to be the most interesting.
Even more strange there did not seem to be anything to go along with the toilet. There was no toilet paper, no sink to wash your hands, no nothing. You could not even work out how to flush the toilet. At this point, you are just thankful it did not rip your guts out trying to clean any part of you.
One can only hope the ship will flush the toilet at some point on its own. It seems to do a lot of other things as you move around. While you were half expecting it to flush as you walked out of the bathroom still nothing happened. At this point, you are strongly hoping that was in fact a toilet.
The break room right next to it was filled with a bunch of objects made out of light. They were the size of brochures with a picture of what appeared to be different spaceships on the outside. However, after many failed attempts you could not get the electronic pieces of paper to change pages. Even years later you are convinced the page can be turned on them.
This room as well lacked any kind of sink. You half expected if people were working on spaceships they would need to wash their hands at some point. That however did not seem to be the case.
While this room had many metal cabinets they were all empty. Not even a crumb or rodent dropped among them. You were half expecting to find some dust as you run your finger from one side of the cabinet to the other—nothing.
Other than being able to sit down in a metal chair at a metal table. There was nothing else to explore in this room. What eve lived here simply lived what would have been a boring life. A place that remained this clean and lack of any personality you thought would drive you insane over the long run if you were trapped here.
Finally, you went into the office. It had a single desk with five chairs around it. While there were a lot more pieces of electric paper spread all across the desk. They were all blank except one of them. It showed a red flashing light and you could have sworn the letters read “danger.” You glanced back at it again and those letters were no longer. Instead, they were replaced by the unknown language you simply could not understand.
With those rooms yielding nothing of interest you headed back out into the hanger section of the basement. You thought it would be best to investigate closer the different landing pads that use to hold ships you could only assume.
As you stepped onto one of the landing pads it started to glow. You also heard a slight humming sound. You quickly jumped off the landing pad as it felt like the iron in your blood was attempting to escape. You had trigged an extremely powerful magnetic system. It must be how they lock the ships in place.
After exploring around a bit further everything just seemed to be more of the same. You stayed away from walking into any more of the landing pads. You were half expecting to find a ladder or some way for aliens to work on different parts of a ship but you could not find any.
You even went up to the hanger doors which were sealed shut. Thankfully the ship did not automatically open them. That would have been a total disaster getting sucked out into space like that. You thought it was best to not test your luck by pressing a giant red button that was off to the side of the hanger doors.
While walking back to the ladder that would take you out of the basement. You noticed there was a giant sheet of metal along the wall. By your best guess, it was a 10 by 10 metal sheet. It looked like it could come in handy. The only question is do you want to drag such a large option?
If you do decide to pick it up you won’t be able to carry anything else. This will mean that you would haul it back to your ship. Do you decided to pick up the 10 by 10 metal sheet or head up and explore floor 1 or floor 2.
