Absent Friend
One of the seminal forms of Traveller requirements seems to be the tendency for all ships to have coffeepots - required equipment, after all.
In our campaign, The Ursula as well as the other vessels have taken damage, requireing repair or replcement of these devices...following are excerpts of the results of said repairs by the ships Engineering Goddess, Susan Cray, AKA "Sushi"......
this is the first pot repair, done when she dissasembled the Mr Coffee to use the electronic timer to repair the jump drive grid differential control system, and so she fabricated the new one from parts laying around the drive bay.Its principle property was derived as a notion to alleviate the complaints of the crew that the previous coffeemaker took too long to brew a pot of coffee.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USIN' THE COFFEEPOT
(found taped to the coffeepot in the Marine orderly office, written in two colors of marker)
(The pot is a complicated and strange looking beast, with two round chambers welded to a long cylindrical chamber and has several tubes and a 1 inch thick powercord connected to the main power trunk. It boasts a standard carafe, directly beneath a stainless steel dispensing spout. Any with engineering 3 or the JOT feat will recogonize the thing is made from a thruster plenum and draws 11 megajoules. It is cheerfully painted with pastel blue, green, pink and fuscia fish )
HOW TO USE THE COFFEE POT AND KEEP IT HAPPY
First, put water in it!gotta have water, right? it goes in the lower pressurization chamber, marked A.
Be sure to dog the lil hatch down with the wheel there..this is very important or superheated steam gets out and that is BAD...also, the coffee won't mix right...so dog that booger down good!
cool?
Next, put the ole coffee grounds in the vaporization chamber , so the coffee gets all good and vaporated! Dog that one down, too...BAD, remember?
Then push that big ole pretty blue button!
BAM! its coffee time!
Now, don't be opening the condensing chamber , there on the top, cuz then all that good superheatedcoffee goodness would get out, and sure, he's all welded to the table an all- but ya do that, its's GONNA get away, and then I gotta come put in another ten feet o bulkhead..so DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
Oh, and the coffee comes out at about 360 degrees, which is real hot, so be careful, okies?
LUV yas!
