8-249: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Cargo Hold
I am going to revise my description somewhat, now I’m more awake. On reflection, I think that Spanial would have some sort of access ladder(s) for use under thrust, so she can climb that, but the part where she has to move across the ceiling to get outside is tricky and requires that roll, which she made, although there was a scary moment there where she almost slipped.
[Fyi, that fall is unlikely to kill her while she’s protected by her vacc suit, but it could on a bad day (quick estimate, ~1% chance), and it would certainly injure her to some extent. I think that’s her first potentially lethal situation? If so, the Flexibility advantage has paid for its character points.]
I’ve assumed she’s outside, standing on Spanial’s forward hull, because it’s easier to walk around and get the tethers from there than while hanging from the inside ceiling, but that’s up to you.
Sure, she’ll go for the easiest option. I think that’s her first lethal situation, unless you count all the stuff she just did with the Hopper, which from her perspective, felt more lethal!
She will reel in the tethers and ensure they’re inside before clambering back through the doors to the access point where she can close the Hold doors and stow everything neatly away.
