Gunnery Control, commence Plasma Core insertion! OPEN FIRE!
Welcome to Hard Light Station, Ensign.
The exits are scattered around the station, but most of them have jammed shut because nonextinct usage, and those that work only go to vacuum, so your best chance to get off is to wait for a service ship to pop in. Last time is not remembered, though.
We are currently suffering from technical disruptions from time to time, which may cause the lights go out at any instance, and sometimes even the basic life support fails for some time. At these times, stay calm and composed; for these cases the station system automatically drops a computer from the roof above you with FSO installed and ready. They have independent power sources.
It is adviced you don't roam around the station at these times, because you won't be seeing anything because the lights are out, and it's possible you don't want to meet our resident Shivan, Carl. He usually lives in the air duct system, but at the times of these technical problems he crawls out of he has been reportedly sighted on other parts of the station, too. In case of chance encounter, give him your lunch and you may be let to live. Other wildlife in the station include our group of monkeys. Don't be troubled by them, they usually behave themselves.
There used to be flamethrowers in the station, right below the seats, but some while ago the station adminstartion decided to fill them with Holy Water instead, and this effect can be noticed as every discussion considering, some certain things automatically degenerates into a debate of religious matters and how they should be applied to society. It is adviced that newcomers monitor the situation from a distance; they cause possibly volatile situations sometimes.
Against military hazards, there are plasma rifles in racks around the station, but they can only be opened by an Admin,
, or Hyperintelligent Shade of Blue.
On latest news, the Command has agreed to tow the station into a less volatile system in order to prevent further power shortages, as they are belived to be caused by subspace disturbances emanating from nearby star in our current system. The GTD Gamewarden is supposed to rendezvouz us upon journey and stay with us in that new system of our placement. This transfer operation may cause yet another power shortage for some time in the immediate future, but it should make life in the station easier in long run.
Enjoy your stay at Hard Light station as long as you will.
