>>5446550... anon, I was the QM of Space Derelict Quest. Pic very much related. While the exposed conduits in the hull and the possibility of electronics in the viewing station are certainly alluring, you just have to know what - if anything - is in all of these damn boxes. You punt yourself over to it, and try the lid. It lifts open without resistance. Admittedly, that is not a good indication for anything valuable being left inside, but you keep your hopes up.
You manhandle the crate so you are looking straight inside of it, and find ... a battered insulated liner, torn away from the interior walls of the box, and nothing else. Trying to not get disappointed, you grab another crate floating nearby, find that it is also unsealed, and only has a well-worn liner torn away from the inside. Not willing to give up right away, you try another dozen, only to find the exact same thing.
Well, at the very least, these crates and even the liners themselves have <span class="mu-i">some</span> value ... but even if you brought these to the ferry and they accepted them, you wouldn't get anything for your trouble. You are just about to move on when it occurs to you how odd it is that <span class="mu-i">all</span> of the liners of the crates have been torn off of their anchors. Was someone looking for something in here? This the newest hulk in the boneyard, and to your knowledge, you are the first wreckers to have gone through it, so this must have been something that the men who towed it here did.
Were they looking for something?
You find yourself looking around the cargo bay, at all of the loose crates, and wondering that if whoever looked through these managed to look through all of them ... and just what they were looking for.
> Please choose ONE of the following:> Someone has already opened up the hull to get the loader out, and odds are if another wrecker sees that, then the restriction against cutting into the hull becomes a vague suggestion. Why should you play by the rules when no one else will? Get to work. (Suit Charge - 2 %, Air - 1 %, Cutting Gas - 1 %) > Try to get into that viewing station.
