Wizard Dad: Locations and Objects that can be found in a second hand smugglers Starship.

So, imagine it. Here you are trapped on a backwater moon orbiting a gas giant no one is interested in. Sure it has been terraformed and is livable, but would you call gas mining a living? You want out. Out there! Amid the stars. Well kid, do I have a deal for you.

Locations

  1. Gangway and loading dock (Are they clean? In good repair? scorched with blaster marks? painted with a symbol or graffiti?)
  2. Primary airlock (is everything bolted down correctly? is the pressure indicator cracked? are there odd stains that defy easy explanation?)
  3. Medical station (Does it have basic supplies? Is there a vid screen for medical instructions? Do the automated surgical arms look well upkept?)
  4. Captains quarters (Is this still filled with the mementos of the prior owner? Does it smell bad or good in here? is there a badly hidden "secret" panel?) 
  5. Crew quarters: double bed (is there a lingering scent of old socks? does it have an in suite shower? are the mattresses just thin plastic covered foam? Is there anything under the beds?
  6. Cockpit (is there old chewing gum stuck under the seat? are there obvious signs that some equipment has recently been replaced? Is there a sticky dried substance inside of the life support control panel?)
  7. Engineering room (Is there a liquor still hidden in one of the lockers? Are all of the tools clean and ready to use? is there a rusty red patch on the ceiling that appears to have been missed by the cleaning crew?)
  8. Mess hall/ kitchen (is there a lingering smell of past meals? It there a table but no chairs? An old fashioned paper cookbook? The shadowy image of something in the oven?)
  9. Rec room (is it cramped with exercise equipment? Empty except for an old dart board? Have a large screen monitor and a tangle of old fashioned VR gear?)
  10. Cargo bay (full of empty crates? Smells like a herd of goats? Suspiciously sparkling clean?, greasy like an old garage?)
Objects 
  1. weapons locker (biometrically locked? empty accept for a quasi legal fractal knife with a duct taped grip? Has a grenade taped to the back panel with the pin laying next to it?)
  2. false panels (very well made and would be invisible if not slightly opened? Hanging by 1 hinge? Only has a roll of electricians tape inside?)
  3. portable info tech devices (tablets synced to the ships data base? An old cell phone from a provider that doesn't even exist in this system, a cyber-deck with a broken data jack cable attached?)
  4. tools (a full and well labeled toolbox? A crazy expensive liquid nano smart tool? A single rusty hammer with a wooden handle?)
  5. an old service jacket (military issue with some ballistic armor sewn in? a courier jacket with a dozen access patches? a restraint suit top?)
  6. space suits (oft patched and antique? Modern but with a cracked visor? silvery military issue with laser reflective qualities?)
  7. drugs (old fashioned glass bottle of whiskey?, medical derms, ? an old pill bottle labeled as a universal antipsychotic?)
  8. good luck charms (a rabbits foot- probably cloned? A feng shui mirror?, an ace of spades taped to something important?)
  9. translation lenses (goggles? A thin transparent sheet? A hand lense stuck on some strange pictographs setting?)
  10. a stone egg, slightly warm to the touch (a hand warmer with low battery? An old gag gift with a company logo on the bottom? A stone egg with a hairline crack which emits heat)
