Year 2245
Some people said it could never be done, to send man out into the infinite black depths into space to set foot on far off planets. Once only a dream is now reality, man is no longer confined to the borders of earth...but now the whole galaxy.
Humans have colonised more than 30 planetary systems since the first scouting ship sent out in 2068 towards pluto to establish a human colony on the icy barren planet. The aim is to spread out humanity from earth as overpopulation was causing a major drain on resources, although other habitable planets similar to earth have been found and colonies established. This is all possible due to the construction of a rare resource found within the depths of pluto and a few other planets, named Adiutanium. When supercooled it can fuel slipspace drives capable of driving ships much faster than carbon based fuels could.
Ships had only come so far in the field of technology though, once they had reached their destination they could no longer function and became useless, meaning they only had a one way trip. This made it hard to ferry resources and supplies across the galaxy due to the sheer amount of construction needed to make one ship. All that though was about to change, as a brand new state of the art ship was ready for launch, it would cancel the need for older ships due to this ones ability to be re-used, able to land on landmass and be able to pull itself from the gravitational field again. The ship named 'infinitum viator'...or in English the Infinity Traveller due to its theorised ability to never cease to function due to its robust design and easily replaceable parts. This ship had a multitude of purposes from Cargo transport, Colonist Transport, Research and exploring. Though one function it did not serve was for a military purpose, although the crew sported weaponry and military equipment could be held in the cargo bay, the ship was not outfitted for combat, for there was no need as there had never been any recorded space battle in history.
Although there is a pressure for military tasked ships due to the uprising of colonist rebels who wish to secede from main earth control and become independent government systems. Although Earth politicians have repeatedly rejected their wish for independence. This has sparked uprisings throughout multiple colonies around the galaxy, making for troubled times.
The ship, Infinity Traveller took off from Cape Canaveral on the 24th March 2245, its first liftoff...the maiden voyage. Its task was to deliver vital supplies and military equipment to one of the hardest hit colonies in the reaches 'Omveyum'. 5 weeks into its journey it ran into some trouble.
Prologue.
The captain sat at the helm, a calm concentrated face fixated on the asteroid field ahead. The Infinity was more than ready to swat aside a few space rocks, 5ft Carbon Threaded Titanium Electroplated Armour separated the inside of the ship from the harsh vacuum outside. "Its your call captain" One of the crew muttered tapping onto the holographic screen infront of him to bring up a 3d cross-section of the obstacles ahead. The captain sat silent for a few moments before giving a slow but firm nod. "Bring engines up to 60% power and blast through this" He ordered staring at the screen next to him, the blue hue reflecting off his jet black glasses. "Aye Sir" The crewman replied and tapped something into his console before giving some sort of finger signal to the rest of the crew. The 6 massive engines mounted onto the back of the ship roared into life spitting plasma and radiation into space to propel it through the rocks, assuming the giant hulking frame of the ship would simply smash anything that got into its way.
The captain relaxed slightly and pulled up a star map of sorts, he indexed their location and wrote a log simply stating 'Asteroid field, passable' before closing it down again. The calmness was broken by the ship swaying and an audible thumping sound, followed by several more. "Lieutenant, what was that?" The captain snapped suddenly sitting upright into his chair and giving him a rather stern glare. The Lieutenant rapidly tapped away at his holographic screen to find out. "Multiple impacts around starboard section 3-1 and port section 4-5...no damage sustained" He finally replied after a rather awkward silence, "Must just be big rocks" He added nervously staring at the 3D cross-section again. Although over the course of a couple of minutes the Lieutenant observed something rather strange, at first he thought it was just a technical error and ran a couple of tests to configure the scan, although the same result was reached, it seemed some of the asteroids were changing patterns and moving towards the ship purposefully. "Uhh..captain...you may want to look at this" He gingerly whispered and gestured to his screen, as the captain huffed and thrust himself up from his seat, there were yet 4 more large thuds followed by a violent rocking which almost sent him over backwards.
The captain saw nothing at first but slowly, his eyes widened. "Have you ran diagnostics?" The captain asked clutching the console. The Lieutenant nodded "3 times" He replied with a gulp. "Bring up the thermals" The captain demanded poking a stubby finger at the screen. He abided and did so, and when he did, it revealed something...shocking. Most of the rocks were giving off a heat signature. "Sir, Engineering has reported multiple hull breaches around engine struts 5-A, 4-B, 7-D and 9-C!" One of the other crew members called out rather surprised. Before the captain could reply another one called out. "Sir, Power has been lost on line 1 2 and 3, backups are failing". Suddenly the bridge was plunged into darkness as the lights, consoles and screens all shut off simultaneously.

Oh my glory, this is original, well written, and freaking incredible! I'm in!
Na.me: Jason Viraz
A.ge: 32
Appearance: Sea green eyes, jet black hair. 5,7. slight tan.
Clothing: Stone gray shirt and pants with the Infinitum Viator symbol on it.
Job: Doctor
Items: Duct tape.
Bio: Jason was always a lazy person. He graduated second in his class because he was too lazy to properly answer many questions on tests. But he was always a smart man. He showed true potential in his academics but was unmotivated, lazy, and sly. He always found some excuse as to why he did not do his work or why he shouldn't. He was chosen as part of the medical staff on the Infinitum Viator because of his knowledge. But he is usually not trustworthy in taking care of patients but rather persuading others to do his job.

(Accepted, although can you expand your bio slightly? Also engineers have special pressure suits with built in oxygen breathers for repairing in Zero-Gravity and Vacuum environments)
Forgot the list of stuff
This is just some information that will be relevant later.
Major Ship Locations
Bridge: Basically the command center for the whole ship, it can be controlled from here and many things are scanned and monitored, its situated on the top level of the ship on its own little deck above the rest.
Residential Quarters: This is for civilians only, when the ship is on colonisation missions this will be packed to the brim with people, although it is empty at the moment. It has its own cafe's, leisure centres, Gym's, Librarys and even cinemas are included. Its placed on the middle decks of the ship towards the front.
Worker Quavers: Like the Residential, although its specifically for workers, it does not have the same perks as the Residential, although it has Cafe's and lounge bars. You will find it underneath Residential
Cargo Holds: Right at the bottom of the ship, it is split into 10 sub-sectors that hold various bits of cargo, in case of breaches these cargo holds can be de-pressurised and ejected from the ship. They can be accessed only by authorized crew members. Currently contains military hardware so its on constant lockdown.
Maintenance decks: This is right at the rear of the ship and spans the whole height and width. Its split into dividing sectors relative to its use. The main area is the Core Deck which is kept de-pressurized the whole time and ready to eject if it were to overload. Rather than regular corridors, the sectors are connected by Engineering Catwalks which are smaller than corridors.
Medical Bays: Located at the top and nearer to the back, it has all of the equipment a hospital would use and has wards specialised for different injuries. It caters from small cuts or scrapes to major life or death situations. It even has its own 'Paramedic team' that are dispatched to parts of the ship.
Sub locations-
Brig: Located just above the Medical bays, it will house anybody who is deemed dangerous to the ships security. Its constantly monitored by guard patrols.
Armoury: Located near the engineering deck, its constantly locked unless the 'emergency alarm system' is activated by the ships captain. Even then only people who have the right key can get in. It has weapons and guard equipment for almost any situation.
Rigging: Located between the outer shell and the main decks, it acts as an emergency contingency, if there was a breach in the hull this would take most of the vacuum that would happen.
Life Support Room: Located in the Engineering sector of the ship, its constantly frozen and kept in a low oxygen environment to prevent it overheating. Its only accessible via small ducts that lead from various parts of engineering.
Weapons-These weapons are only found in the Armoury.
PDP-12: The personal Defence Pistol 12 is the most basic firearm, it can fire various rounds such as the Incapacitation, Shock, Flechette and Lethal.
AutoPistol VI: Similar to the PDP, only its fully automatic, it to also takes a variety of rounds.
Crowd Control System: Essentially a non-lethal shotgun, it takes non-lethal round such as rubber pellets or gas emitters.
Defence Shotgun Gyatt: Lethal shotgun, takes a large 12g round and can bring down anyone in a matter of seconds. Also takes gas rounds and fire rounds.
'Shortbow' Rapid Defence Weapon: Essentially an assault rifle, it can shoot different rounds, non-lethal and lethal. It has a 30 round box magazine and can fit various sights.
PDW-37: A small compact SMG designed for Close Quarters combat. It has rather large magazine capacity at 50 rounds. Only accepts lethal rounds.
Tazer: Delivers a non-lethal amount of electricity, shuts down nervous system to incapacitate targets and stop them from harming anyone.
Flash stick: A baton looking weapon, except its fitted with a large speaker and various high powered LED's around its surface. The wielder is protected by special glasses and sonic channelling ear-protectors. When a button is pressed there is a 4 second fuse before a bright light and a large bang is emitted. |

(that's what i meant with the suit thingy)
Bio: It's his second job being the engineer for a ship. He originally started engineering on Earth, helping with the construction of ships. After a while, he applied for the engineer position at a ship which he forgot. He did get the job, and after a while he went on to yet ANOTHER job which is being the engineer at this. |

Na.me: Stephen Dean Watson
A.ge: 43
Appearance: Stephen has always been short, standing at 5'8". He's not too tough, and seems to be awfully skinny. He has brown hair that is beginning to go grey, and dull brown eyes. He usually wears a lopsided grin on his face, along with a pair of glasses that tend to slip off. He has a bit of a beard, that is the same color as his hair, unsurprisingly.
Clothing: Stephen nearly constantly is wearing black slacks and a black long-sleeved button-up shirt over a black T-shirt. He always has to match, and nearly never dresses casually.
Job: Doctor (If there may be two.)
Items: Cracked watch that still keeps time.
Bio: Stephen grew up in the US on Earth, never seeming to be social. Over time, that seemed to work with him, and he studied hard to become a doctor. Years later, a respected doctor on Earth, he heard of the voyage. He thought it sounded wonderful, and set off with them. He doesn't talk much, but tries to be helpful, seeming like a kindly old man. When he is seriously focused, however, he gets rude, snapping at others.
(Unless this is set off from Pluto, which is the only part I didn't fully understand--Earth, or Pluto?)

@Alpha
Exo-suits are only used during high risk repairs, you may wear that when appropriate but fornow choose something else. Also no more engineers, it seems we are gaining lots of them. |

I awoke, dazed and confused. My head throbbing and my thoughts scrambled around my brain as i tried to focus on a small light infont of me, as my vision corrected itself i realised it was my holopad. Slowly i propped myself against the nearest object and scooped it up.
All the alerts were going crazy, things were breaking left right and centre, which suddenly threw me back into reality. The ship had lost power and i had obviously been knocked out by the vigorous jolting of the ship. |
|
|
Items: Key to his room, compact first aid kit, satchel, roll of duct tape. (In case the satchel gets a hole in it!) |
|

My body ached as I arose from the ground. The ship had been hit by a large object, I presumed. This was unfortunate for my patient as I was stitching him up. Poor fool had cut himself on a sharp piece of of metal, oh boo. I opened my eyes and the power was out. I tried crawling around the room for something that would provide light but no such luck. I heard and saw nothing of my patient but I still tried to find him. I eventually found a pool of blood, I felt my way until I hit his foot. Then I tried to remember which arm had been hit, his left arm. I touched the wound and he let out a silent whimper, the man must still be unconscious. I made a quick tourniquet around his arm as best as I could. Then I tried to awake him.

I hold my head, thinking about what just happened. "The ship's power went out.." I think to myself, and realize I am on the floor. I get up. |

I clawed at the wall until i stood firmly on my feet, i strained to see through the dim light my Holopad was giving off but what i could see was utter carnage. Wires hanging from the roof, plates removed and lights smashed. My holopad was saying i was in Maintenance sector 2-B, not far from the life support core. |

I looked at a nearby sign. "Well, apparently I am at a cafeteria." I think to myself, reading the cafeteria sign. "But how did I get here?" |

I staggered down the catwalk towards life support, hopefully from there i could get to the main power grid and get it back online. Although i wondered why the other engineers hadn't already done so. I realised that i didn't have to scramble around in the dark as i had my flashlight, which i grabbed from my pouch and used it to light up the darkness ahead of me. |
