Table of Shows
| Object | Analisys |
| consoles | "The terminals were used by the crew to command the ship. I could be an aid to the navigational systems, but Neulanean rules prohibited a computer from ruling a ship, so I could act only if interrogated. I can direct you to any important device on the bridge, if you need it -- and know what you are doing" |
| lounge chairs | "These are the chairs for accommodating the crew in the main bridge" |
| [translucid bar | "The bar you are holding is depleted. You need to [bold type]charge[roman type] it to use it here"] |
| Voyager II | "My sensors reveal this to be a probe. It is quite old, maybe more than 4,000 years. The disc that came from it has given me much information about your origin. Your race is not aboriginal to Andromeda, I understand" |
| pod | "You can use the nav-pod to travel through the Arcadia. Just tell me where to go when you are seated in the pod" |
| hatch | "The hatch is broken beyond repair" |
| foundered ship | "[if the emergency measures terminal is charged]You may find a working radioactive bar in the ship, somewhere[else]The ship has collapsed in the docks when the gravitational pull of the Arcadia became too big for it to escape[end if]" |
| translucid bar | "[if the emergency measures terminal is charged]That is exactly the kind of bar you need, Ektor Mastiff[else]This is a radioactive bar used as fuel for small ships[end if]" |
| white jumpsuit | "This is the regular anti-radiation suit for the technical crew of the Arcadia. It may come in handy for sustaining high temperature as well as freezing. You can use it in case of [bold type]ELSS[roman type] malfunction" |
| strange statue | "This is a [bold type]fossil[roman type] formation of two late members of the crew" |
| lone wagon | "The train was used a lot, when the Arcadia crew was alive, to transport wares" |
| glass cases | "In this laboratory were held samples of many different microbiotic species" |
| lit case | "I suggest you be cautious when handling the cases. Some may still contain lethal life forms" |
| large octagonal-shaped machine | "This is a power cell. It is almost depleted" |
| metal column | "This is a power cell. It is almost depleted" |
| round holes | "This is a power cell. It is almost depleted" |
| large container | "This freezing cell is still functioning. Actually, it may be one of the only energy-draining systems still active. It contains a life form, thus I cannot -- by the protocols -- shut it down" |
| frozen creature | "Specimen 6,725 is still alive in cryogenic life support. It is to be considered extremely dangerous and to be kept captive at any cost" |
| glass dome | "The dome was one of the most used sources of amusement on the Arcadia. Until the ship got [bold type]stranded[roman type], I mean" |
| expanding supernova | "That is the omega [bold type]supernova[roman type]. It will be here soon. The ship shields wouldn't have protected us even if they were still functioning" |
| central console | "This is the remote control for a lot of mechanisms inside the ship" |
| star button | "This button retracts and extends the anti-flare bulkhead over the dome. I suggest you use it with extreme caution: exposure to the omega supernova's flare would be fatal" |
| circle button | "This button retracts and extends the anti-radiation bulkhead over the dome. I suggest you use it with extreme caution: exposure to the omega supernova's radiation would be fatal" |
| lines button | "From here you can control the rails for the back and fore-hubs of the ship" |
| chess players | "Lt. [bold type]Hesld[roman type] and Capt. Ttscy. Their [bold type]fossil[roman type] remnants" |
| glass table | "It's a holographic projector. You may look at what the Commanders were studying in their last days" |
| big screen | "[if the big screen is charged]The Arcadia is quite a [bold type]big[roman type] ship. The mother of all ships, they said[else]The screen was used to show blueprints or actual camera takes of the ship's exteriors" |
| bars gate | "You can ask me to open the [bold type]gate[roman type], if you want" |
| vessel | "This is the object you call the Hyerotrope. Another, smaller one is resting broken on port side of level 22, where you collided with the ship. This specimen is indeed alive and awake. You can see its tentacular self violate the ship's structure" |
| thousand luminescent tentacles | "This is the way in which the Hyerotrope changes the surroundings to gather energy and nourishment. And I think there is more: It is like the Hyerotrope expands into its vicinity beyond its free will, as if forced by its nature, more than self-indulgence" |
| dots | "The dots are all lit. It has been like these for about two-hundred-thousand years" |
| bars holder | "You can put a size-equivalent object in the place of the disintegrated fuel bars missing" |
| trashed content | "Many years of violence from outer space rendered this place to pieces. It's a fortunate instance that so much is still afoot" |
| golden disc | "Part of your race's history is coded in that disc. I found the music and the natural sounds... quite inspiring. Yours must have been a very interesting planet to inhabit" |
| graffiti | "The symbols mathematically depict the position of your mother planet. It is around two-dot-five-millions light-years from here" |
| secondhyerotrope | "This vessel is dead" |
| universe hologram | "The [bold type]matrix[roman type] represented forms the shape of a truncated cuboctahedron" |
| emergency measures terminal | "This is the EMT-Emergency Measures Terminal console. You may want me to help you with the [bold type]sequence[roman type] that is needed to operate it" |
| charged bar | "You are lucky you wear one of the suits, Ektor Mastiff. The radiation is so intense it is disrupting some of my sensors" |
| Beast | "This was the specimen held in the freezing compartment of the laboratories. It is extremely treacherous" |
| cpu_terminal | "This shield is meant to keep my CPU safe. A [bold type]card[roman type] is required to access its contents" |
| cpu_real | "That is my mainframe. If you disconnect that, I... die, if you allow me the term" |
| cpu_backup | "That is just a backup of my Operating System. The backup is due in two hours from now. The last one has been archived forty-five minutes ago. Quite fresh, I may say" |
