You know it's going to be a long week in JumpSpace when...

[saundby]

"Check out this spot on the wall in the lounge...is titanium supposed to crumble like that?"

 

[aramis]

Conference
The captain, engineer, and the passenger who's a professer of Jump Physics start conferencing over the engine and sensor readouts, and then ask the doc how to distribute fast drug to all the passengers...

(had that happen in play...)

Ooops!
The chronometer reads 9 days since jump, and the jump field stability indicator is still pegged out...

Ooh! Pretty!
Colors shift the moment that the jump drive engages... everything looks to be photographically negative...

 

[Rigel Stardin]

Finding out the Captain is taking drugs for the voices in his head…
The steward’s pet Dovonan Eel escaped…
The first officer wear’s a live nuclear grenade around his neck…
Finding a cockroach the size of a bull elephant in the forward cargo hold…


Your contract with the Captain is up after this jump: Priceless

 

[Lycanorukke]

The engineer: "Um...anyone got more duct tape?"
The navigator: "I torrented this jump tape from Pirate Bay for free! Saved a packet"
The pilot: "Dont worry about it, the master warning light always turns on over nothing"
The Medic: "Oh wow, I can see pretty jump space colours....let me take another hit of Nox...wheee!"

 

[rancke]

"WHAT'S THAT SMELL!?!"

"Sorry, Captain, that container of Copperfish Garum sprung a leak and it got into the recyclers. Here, have an oxygen mask."

 

[Dragoner]

When the lights dim right before jump, not to mention the structural groans and vibrations and someone mentions "vilani tradition," and the purser is like who's what? Oh yeah, that's it....it's vilani tradition, you're exactly right.

 

[far-trader]

...the navigator punches the jump button just as the engineer walks onto the bridge muttering over his shoulder to nobody... casually flipping and catching a Coyn... one of the ones that tradition and superstition demands are used under the bolts securing the jump drive...

When right after Jump, you report to the Captain that every thing is good to go and get no answer. After checking and searching the ship, you discover that you Jumped with out the Captain.

Of course this could make for 2 long weeks of Jump time.

When you discover that the life support chandler at the last port had some sort of bug in their inventory system, and the only thing you have to subsist on for the week is 1000 packets of Genuine Imitation Faux-Bleu Cheese Dressing.

 

[Dragoner]

When the vargr steward picked up a couple of cases of baba anna's homemade borscht, yet he forgot to get the sour cream....

 

[Enoki]

When the vargr steward picked up a couple of cases of baba anna's homemade borscht, yet he forgot to get the sour cream....

It's going to be harder on him when the crew feeds it to him as a supository.... :rofl:

 

[ShapeShifter]

In the name of pure efficiency, the Moties have completely redesigned the head...but noone can make heads or tails of it!

 

[VonPickles]

Borscht with out sour cream... noooooooo....

Seriously you know when... the best before date on you Everfresh Sandwiches has expired!

 

[Fritz_Brown]

When the vargr steward picked up a couple of cases of baba anna's homemade borscht, yet he forgot to get the sour cream....

And they always laugh when I pack a dozen nukable meals in my room before launch. Ha! :toast:

 

[VonPickles]

How about you know it was a long week, when you are allmost finished that complimentary bible but find the last page torn out! I guess now you will never know how the story ends...

 

[Spinward Scout]

You know it's going to be a long week in JumpSpace when...

The fresher starts acting up 30 minutes after Jump.

o:

 

[Lycanorukke]

When you see the GM start to shuffle rulebooks while muttering "When in jump...hrm...Now which page is that table on....*rolls dice* Wow, never seen that before. Okay, your ship jumps and...."

 

[Blue Ghost]

I could tolerate that. Momma Mia... with Abba... I'd rather be water boarded the whole 7 days....

Isn't that considered working passage on some ships?

 

[Blue Ghost]

Your Female Aslan purser goes into heat, and there are no male Aslans on board....

Your passenger list is split half and half between Marine and Navy recruits....

Your shipboard printer cartridge runs dry and there is no spare on day 1...

Your ships cat mistook the air return grid for a litter box.....

Your ships cook is hispanic and you are carring a cargo of fresh peppers.....

You are carring a herd of live dairy cows and the crew has to milk them every day.....

And the air filtration system goes down on day 2 with the cows......

And for hazing you're ordered to milk the bull.

When you walk into the lounge/mess for the first time and find that your ex is part of the ship's crew.
