Mysterious Scientist
!!Biography
Jon was kinda just a low life bottom-rung mobster - the techie guy sent to fix stuff and in fear of his life for failure (and desparate to get out of the crime group and off planet). On the other hand it's not something he'd be proud of and may have kept it from 8 and Dirk when they showed up.
He's a scientist who comes from a fallen decadent world where intellectuals were basically the kicked dogs of anyone with power. He escaped the mob by using his brain, so yeah scientist - I just don't think he's particularly mysterious - I'm more inclined towards "a scientist with a shady past".

[[Eric Carson]] seeks a cure for a sleeping sickness infecting a frontier world - but an Ancient canister proves that what appears to be a simple contagion is actually a bacterial weapon from before time!
Your character is a respected authority in a specific scientific field. Possibilities include physics, chemistry, biology, and so on. In the elite circles of that particular field, the character is recognised for his expertise. Even if his Skill level is low, it merely means he is towards the bottom of his particular group of the elite.
Whenever the character makes a Science roll pertaining to his area of expertise, he automatically receives a +1 knowledge bonus. In addition, the character should pick a specific area of specialisation (like gravity, electricity or reptiles).
When a science roll involves that specialisation, his knowledge bonus increases to +2, and any research efforts involving the speciality are resolved at one time increment faster.
You are able to create new devices and upgrade existing technology as per the gadgets rules (see page 80), using Science instead of Engineering. You don't, however, have any Skill at creating or repairing completely 'normal' technology - stuff that wouldn't involve the gadget rules at all to work on.

!!The Bridge
* The bridge of the Lady Jane is a domed circle, taking up two decks. In many respects, it resembles the deck of the original USS Enterprise.
* The lift debouches between the two deck levels. Ramps slope down around the circumference to the lower deck level. There is one station (normally the captain) at the level of the lift, with stairs leading down around it. In front of that station, there are two side by side, at the lower level. Normally, these are helm and targ. There are four other non-specific stations around the circumference.
* All stations can be reconfigured for any crew position or combination of positions. The captain's codes can override any command, and can be used to grant or deny access to specific commands.
* Any sensible crew member will customise his station by moving controls, creating macros, etc.. Customised stations are easier for the person who designed them to use, and more difficult for others (unless they trained under the person who designed it and haven't had time to develop their own style).
* Commonly, engineering crew won't even be on the bridge, they'll do their job from one of the engineering stations.
* The bridge has holographic projectors throughout, making it possible (and usual) to project a view of outside space, or a star map, or any other schematic the crew needs, ALL AROUND the bridge crew. In a normal view, the bridge crew will see the bridge as a clear dome with a 360° x 220° view of space. Doors appear if you look carefully enough. Other crew members and their stations will get in the way of the view. The three main bridge positions traditionally show the view below the vessel as part of the station display, so as to give a full view.
* Because the view is holographic, it is 3D, and some objects may appear to float inside the bridge. But it's not as advanced as the Star Trek holodeck. There are no force fields to give the impression of solidity.
* The computers are pretty bright. They can be given complex instructions and interpret them for most situations. For instance, they could be instructed “Take us from point A to point B, using the most fuel-efficient safe course. If anything approaches, alert the watch officer and avoid the object until further instructions. Respond to any hails with standard message XXX. Head away from any hostile object at best possible speed. There are probably situations in which these instructions would fail, but they'd be a surprise. Any action the computer took to follow these instructions would be fairly formulaic, and easily analysed and predicted by a decent computer or competent captain.
!!Damage Control, Bulkheads and Atmosphere Containment
* Although it's not immediately apparent on the deck plans, there are bulkhead doors at all access points between decks, including in the lift shaft
* Bulkhead doors normally remain open, but when they decide to close, they don't care what's in the way
* Individual bulkhead doors will close when anyone tells them to (a break glass kind of affair)
* All bulkhead doors will close
** if the atmospheric pressure anywhere on the ship drops below a set level
** on receiving a central command
** on power failure
* Under any of these conditions, the lift shaft will also be completely filled with vacu-seal foam, which is a pain in the arse to clean out, but better than losing all your air
* Bulkhead doors can only be opened using crew codes (centrally or individually). As always, the captain's codes override other crew
* Hull breaches will be repaired with vacu-seal foam as a first defence
* Any fire on board will cause surrounding bulkheads or doors to close and the affected room/s to be flooded with fire-retardant foam. The foam subsides fairly quickly, and it's unusual for anyone who's still ambulatory to be suffocated by it
* The usual protocols indicate that any unauthorised breach of quarantine (when quarantine conditions are declared) will result in ALL doors and bulkhead doors closing and locking. They can only be opened with crew codes. Air conditioning will also shut down for as long as possible, and when it returns, will be compartmentalised.
* Most systems have redundant backups, but there is no automatic repair system. Repair bots can be retrofitted, but they're about the same cost as the ship herself
!!Decor
* The purely functional areas of the Lady Jane, such as loading docks and much of engineering, have bare walls and floors, but other areas are made to look like an 18th century sailing ship. Lots of wood and some brass
* The control surfaces are brassy where possible, but most of the controls appear on touch screens anyway (there are backups for all controls which are manual, and these are brass on wood
* In the swankier areas, there is also red velveteen, especially on seats
* All berths include a double bed, view screens, and in most cases a sliding RV port. All are attached to individual bathrooms which have real water showers (water is recycled anyway). Bathrooms are all marble and brass
* Second and first class cabins also have outer rooms, with a desk with access to SOME ship's computer systems, etc.. These are much like an outer office
!!EVA Points
* All EVA points (not cargo bays) have a cupboard holding:
** At least one standard EVA suit
** Standard tools for EVA operations. Tools, slap-patches, thrust bottles, etc.
** Flashlights
** A beacon
** Ropes and associated hardware
* Most also contain one or more weapons

!!Power and Drive Systems
* Primary power comes from two fusion reactors, powered by a reaction mass of heavy water (H22O).
* The reaction mass is ionised by sheer heat in a pre-reaction ionisation chamber. Deuterium and oxygen ions are magnetically divided (like a mass spectrometer), and electrons are inducted directly to the power system.
* The temperature of the ionisation chamber is maintained by the nearby fusion reaction and, where necessary, electrical power.
* Frequently, the temperature in the ionisation chamber will exceed safe limits. Heat, and sometimes plasma, are vented directly to space. Even running at minium power, it's difficult go without venting for more than a few hours.
* If the ionisation chamber is cooled, it takes quite some time to reheat it to operating temperature. In this case (a cold start) the reaction mass must be ionised and the chamber heated using battery power. It's normal practice to start one reactor this way and cross-vent the ionisation chambers to start the other. This increases the time to start the reactors by about 50 per cent, but halves the battery power required.
* normal cold-start takes eight hours for the first reactor (giving half power) and another four for the second. At normal output, the batteries will take about a week to recharge from a normal cold start.
* Starting both reactors at once, and really rushing it (which can damage the reactors) will take four to six hours, and the batteries will take two weeks to rechrage.
* The ionised oxygen is stored for later use (see below)
* The deuterium ions move on to the reaction chamber, where they undergo a fusion reaction, forming helium. The reaction chamber must also be maintained at a high temperature, but once it is heated, it is self-sustaining so long as the deuterium keeps coming.
* The ionised helium is stored with the oxygen.
* The oxygen/helium mix can be de-ionised and hydrated and used for life-support in emergencies, but it's not recommended. There is a chance of it being radioactive.
* The oxygen/helium mix can also be re-introduced into the reaction chamber for further fusion. This requires greater temperatures (only just within the design tolerances, so it's not possible to conduct secondary fusion without continuous venting) but also produces far more energy. This method of extracting extra energy from the system is not recommended for prolonged use, as the resulting heavy elements, some of them radioactive, result in either erosion or clagging of the exhaust vents. On the Lady Jane, for some reason the port vent always clags, and the starboard is always eroded. Even swapping the reactors didn't change this. Engineers have suggested it's due to a slight imbalance in the gravity fields, but since clagging and erosion both result in similar costs and repair times, nobody's got too carried away with fixing it.
* Normally, though, the oxygen/helium mix is used as reaction mass for the ion drives. Not only is the mix pre-ionised (so long as you don't leave it sit for too long—if you do it de-ionises, draining battery power and causing ship-wide corrosion) it also provides far more thrust than the ionised hydrogen used in traditional ion drives.
* If there is insufficient oxygen/helium mix to run the drives (because of continued high thrust or heavy power demands), heavy water can be used as ion drive reaction mass instead. Because the heavy water must be ionised separately, this adds extra power demands, but not usually anything critical.
* The mass of the heavy water is actually slightly higher than the mass of the oxygen/helium mix, so it produces about the same thrust for the same power consumption. But it does increase heavy water consumption considerably.
* The practical upshot of this is that increased power or thrust both increase the consumption of reaction mass.
* With a nominal load of reaction mass, the Lady Jane has a range of 3 months at normal power output.
* Battery power is recharged gradually by the fusion reactors.
* At minimum life support (and no artificial gravity) batteries will last for about a week. This includes the power needed for the emergency beacon.
The biggest heist of [[Richter's|Dirk Richter]] career, it all went off without a 7hitch. Meticulously planned, perfectly timed, he breezed past the alarms and scored the prize - but at the last, he was betrayed. Broke and on the run, one day he would get even.
* [[Xiao Ling]] was running security - the betrayer alerted her to Dirk and she set the guards on him. Xiao admired Dirk's skills, and bears no hard feelings.
* [[Armitage|Armitage Reginald Shank, Esq.]] saved Dirk from the bounty hunters, and recognising his innate goodness and need for redemption, recruited him to the team.
* [[Eric Carson]] healed Dirk to full strength - and therefore feels some responsibility for his future actions.

!Description
Despite the fact she is based on a scout ship, the Lady Jane is actually a modified passenger vessel. With the addition of weapons, better damage control systems, faster drives, and more cargo space, she is now a multi-purpose vessel, although she can still function quite adequately as a liner.
Because she is based on a liner, casual scans will reveal her as such, especially if the person scanning has some familiarity with human vessels. Of course, the Lady Jane is the only vessel of her type painted that particular colour, so anyone who's ever heard of Captain Samuel West will recognise her.

Your character can start babbling about some theoretical scientific principle that has bearing on the situation at hand (the player must play this out). Even if it's a crackpot theory, Science is a kind of new religion for this guy, and his committed belief in his theory can translate into real effect.
Instead of using Science to make a declaration, the character may, for a Fate point, and only once per scene, use his Science Skill to substitute for nearly any other Skill, subject to the Story Teller's approval. If the roll generates no shifts, the scientist takes a minor consequence
(such as 'Crestfallen' or'Crackpot') to reflect the weight of his failure for the rest of the scene.
Otherwise, great! It works!

A universal gadget is, essentially, a personal gadget that you may design on the fly, in the middle of a situation, as if your character happened to have'just the thing' in his satchel at the precise moment when it was needed. This gadget follows the same design rules as a personal gadget (above), but is only allowed two improvements, not three. Once defined, the gadget is locked in for the remainder of the session.
As with personal gadgets, see page 80 for detailed gadget design rules.
The trade-off is that you can define the gadget on the fly and in the moment, as something your character already happened to have on hand (or just whipped up in a matter of seconds). As with personal gadget, you may take this Stunt multiple times.
You may create and upgrade gadgets to use any improvements that are marked as requiring Weird Science. This lets you design and create items that have capabilities that don't yet exist in Starblazer Adventures, among other things (see page 80).
Furthermore, you may collaborate with another character Skilled in Engineering to enable that character to create and change items based on Weird Science; if you do so, your Science Skill restricts that character's Engineering.
Working with an engineer, a scientist with this Stunt enables his engineer partner to include Weird Science improvements for a single improvement allocation on one of his personal or universal gadgets.
