They head back into the car and try again….
The pods where junior crewman live are dreary affairs. Each crew pod represents three 60’ x 180’ pods
with their own individual locks. Each pod is dominated by a 20-ft high wire-mesh platform in its center A narrow 10-font aisle runs around this platform. Atop the first platform is an identical second platform. Atop each platform are three tiers of cubbies. Each platform is cut by many aisles with mesh floss across them.
Two lifts give access to the platforms. Each cubby is a 6‘ high x 8’ wide X 8’ long padded platform surrounded on three sides by lockers. The door to each cubby swings up so that the user can slide in. It can be lowered for privacy. Each junior crewman has his own cubby where he sleeps and keeps his few personal possessions.
The floor of the crew pod beneath the tiers of cubbies is an open area with plants and waist-high partitions designed to create an illusion of privacy Here, there are eating booths where crew members can dial up food served at their table by the ship’s computer. There are also holotanks for entertainment, physical training machines, and, in one corner, an open, multi-stall fresher for showers and sanitary needs.
Alzar’s entrance has alerted 6 crewmembers who grab weapons from their lockers and move to intercept him. Battle begins.
5 vs 8. Alzar casts Mass Charm and the room is now his. They agree to show him around the pod, and they give him a spare blaster with all of their spare clips – 8 of them. They teach him about things like the panels and such, and two agree to accompany him.
