[After two hours, give or take, the doors open. The computerized voice makes an announcement:]

Life support is fully operational throughout the ship. Bridge crew, please proceed to the bridge to view the full damage report.

((Characters are free to explore the ship. I'll answer whatever questions are posed to the computer, but it doesn't get replies so poke me if I don't seem to notice. o/

ETA: Assume the engine room is locked off for now!))

?

[No flinching, no "ouch". He just blinks at Carne.]

[court_chesster]

Roomie, buddy. You'd tell me if you were a robot, right?

[Still pinching, he gives it a good tug.]

[thefaceofjustice]

I don't think I am?

[HE DOES NOT SOUND SURE. And is just kind of standing there as the skin tugs out abnormally far with a sound like peeling tape. Hey is that a seam opening on his neck?]

[court_chesster]

Because your face kinda seems detachable right now!

[Lets it go and moves to tug at the seam instead.]

[thefaceofjustice]

Oh. So this face is...

[Allows Carne to pull at it, but after an inch or so of what's underneath is revealed... he abruptly grabs his wrist to stop him.]

WAIT!!! Stop...

[He didn't seem to care before, but now he's visibly freaking out.]

[court_chesster]

[Immediately stops]

Sorry, sorry! Did that hurt?

[thefaceofjustice]

No, I... I.....

I don't want to know what's under it!

[court_chesster]

I was only joking about the robot thing. I think it's just a mask.

[Gently tries to tug his wrist away.]

[thefaceofjustice]

I'm leaving it on!

[Squeezing his wrist pretty hard. You're going to have to ask if you want that hand back, buddy.]

[court_chesster]

[With forced calmness:]

I'm sorry. I won't touch it again. Please let go of me.

[thefaceofjustice]

[Pauses. Looks at his hand. Abruptly flexes it open.]

[court_chesster]

[Snatches his wrist back and rubs at it.]

I won't tell anyone, okay? I don't want any trouble.

[thefaceofjustice]

Okay... good.

[Smoothing his face back down into place.]

[court_chesster]

I feel really bad about messing it up. Can I help you smooth it out?

[thefaceofjustice]

No.

[Pats it down. There.]

Just... tell me if it looks normal now.

[court_chesster]

Yeah.

...You could maybe use a little makeup.

[thefaceofjustice]

I don't have any. Do you?

[court_chesster]

No, but I think we could ask the computer to make you some concealer.

[thefaceofjustice]

...Okay. Let's do that.

[court_chesster]

Excuse me, computer! Can you please make some concealer for my friend?

[The 3D printer whirs to life.]

[thefaceofjustice]

This machine can make anything?

Seems valuable.

[court_chesster]

'Anything' is a strong word, but it can make some things! Pretty convenient, huh?

[thefaceofjustice]

I suppose so. If we can leave, we should take it with us.

[court_chesster]

This whole ship has some sophisticated technology. Maybe we could sell it off.
