I will go for steal a spacesuit.

If that fails I will try to hack the station to get the life support functional.

Haul Ass, huh? Sound advice, given the systems are fai-wait. The systems are failing? OH GOD EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.

Haul ass for whatever passes for a shuttle bay or life pods on this orbiting soon-to-be death-trap.

[thespacephantom] - Decisions decisions - [2] You quickly opened up the door out of your cabin, only to think that the flashing terminal might have a little more information for you. You were torn between getting the heck off the station and checking for more information, so you opted instead to stand in the doorway and look back and forth between the terminal and the hallway.

[Omega Shadowcry] - Jaeger Danger - [3] Turning a barely operation space station into a fully operation Jaeger isn't exactly the easiest thing to do in the world, in fact, you think it might be one of the hardest. Regardless, you stormed out of your cabin, passed thespacephantom standing in a doorway and then promptly got lost in the twists and turns of the station on your way to the control room.

You did however find a handy map that someone seems to have left on the floor, this should help as long as you know how to read it. >STATION MAP added to inventory

[Rivux] - When in doubt, smash buttons - [6] Upon closer inspection there were actually quite a few buttons that looked pushable, so you decided to slam as many as possible as quickly as possible. After you were pretty sure you had pressed every button on the key panel in front of you, the terminal actually turned green, and then promptly shorted out as it went dark.

[Tatsumar] - Stumble Shuffle - [5] You decided to ignore the terminal since red flashing lights never seem to indicate a good thing. Quickly, you ran for the door to have it surprisingly open for you, letting you out into the hall to spy thespacephantom standing confused in a doorway.

[Trip] - To become a god - [4] An explosion means nothing to a god, so that's just what you'll be. Summoning all the knowledge you had of ascension, your mind, body, and spirit rose to levels that could rival any god on the lower end scale of things. But no matter, a god of any level could survive and explosion, even if it happens to be in space somehow.

[Pentigan] - Can't touch this - [4] Explosions? Pfff, no big deal, you can dodge stuff like that in your sleep. Nothing was exploding quite yet, but you were sure prepared for it if it ever were to in a few minutes...which it most likely will.

[eldritchseer] - $1.50 to escape - [4] After leaving your rather neatly kept cabin you went over to the vending machine in the hallway. You gave it a quick look, seeing that your options were limited to Quazar Quindlows, Solar Soda, Comet Crunchies, Nebula Na— you then quickly stopped looking over the selection, remembering there were more important matters at hand.

You quickly started to take the entire machine apart, and simultaneously took a few of the snacks just in case. In a matter of a moments you had yourself a fine vessel, or at least a rocket propelled vending machine that you could sit in.

[Philosopher] - Space suit perchance - [1] Luckily, you actually had a space suit hanging up in your cabin next to your bed. You quickly reached out for it, and then quickly tore off one of the sleeves in your haste. Either your space suit was made out of napkins, or you were much stronger than you remembered last.

Well, since that was a no go, you decided to try and head for the life support systems to try and fix them, it was just unforunate that you got lost and ended up circling back into your cabin somehow.

[Re Dead] - Haul ass to the shuttles - [2] You quickly ran out of your cabin in whatever direction you thought would lead to an escape pod. However, it only took you a few seconds to realize you were lost when you ended up in a twisting hallway that just led to a set of restrooms.

[She Who Must Not Be Named] - When in doubt, find someone who isn't - [4] You didn't have much of a plan for escape yourself, so you left your cabin to find someone who did. After a look around in the hall you saw Tatsumar, thespacephantom, and eldritchseer still in the hallway. Out of the three, it looked like eldritchseer had crafted a makeshift escape pod out of a vending uinit, so that seemed like your best bet.

[NE Sgamer 190] - If it's broken, fix it - [2] You decided you should try and fix the life support, it shouldn't be that hard, right? First things first though, you had to try and find it. This was easier said than done, as when you left your cabin and the hallway it was settled in you had a very hard time finding your way around. You quickly found yourself just lost in another hallway, most likely not any closer to your goal.

"Restrooms. Restrooms, what are you doing here, you are not a shuttle bay."

Keep looking for that shuttle bay. The restrooms would probably be near the place where people arrived on the station, right?

[Rivux] - Kickstarter - [2] In a fit of what was most likely frustration, you gave the terminal a swift kick, which it turn gave you a swift pain right in your big toe. You had planned to search the room for any valuables, but with your throbbing toe you couldn't focus on anything else but absolute pain and anguish.

[Trip] - Take the plunge - [5] Being a god and all, you had no need to find a proper way off the ship. You simply phased through the walls of the station and appeared outside to look upon the planet below. You slowly started to drift towards it before gravity began to take over; you could have fought it, but you instead decided to let things take their natural course.

You plunged right through the planet's atmosphere, ripping through clouds and sky like nobody's business, right before you finally started zooming in on solid ground. With the ground in your sights, you maneuvered yourself just enough so that your right foot made contact first. Upon impact, you made a giant crater in the middle of what was thankfully an abandoned city. The city was about the size of any major city you've seen before, but it was absolutely silent aside from your earth shattering impact.

[Tatsumar] - Keep on sliding - [4] You shot thespacephantom a little stare before you began slipping and sliding across the floor quite gracefully. You weren't entirely sure where you were going as you didn't pick a destination, but luckily you ended up past the living quarters into an open room on the station that had a large map displayed on the wall.

[She Who Must Not Be Named] - Vending stowaway - [3] Unfortunately, eldritchseer denied you passage on his vessel no matter how nicely you asked, even if you were to add metaphorical cherries on top. However, being denied didn't stop you from trying to gain passage. While eldritchseer wasn't looking, you stowed away into a compartment on the side, after removing some (probably) non-vital components.

[thespacephantom] - Take what you can - [4] You left the doorway after feeling like you had been standing there for days at a time, deciding you should look in your room to see if you could find anything. After a bit of searching, you managed to come across a map tucked away, and then a rather light looking space suit hanging on the wall.

[Pentigan] - When it's broken again...fix it...again - [2] You tried to go for a remote fix on the life support systems, seeing as how you were now protected from explosions by the command of your dodging expertise. However, when you tried to access the systems from your location you could never seem to get in contact with the systems you needed.

[Omega Shadowcry] - Suit search - [5] Using your newly found map, you made your way to the storage on the station. In here you managed to find the re-entry suit you were searching for. >RE-ENTRY SUIT added to inventory. However, in storage there were sure to be several other goodies you could get your hands on, maybe you could take a look if you think you have the time.

[eldritchseer] - Prepare for blast off - [5] After denying passage to She Who Must Not Be Named, you turned away from your vessel for a few moments to look for a proper place from your vantage point. After a few moments, you began wheeling the USS Vendoor down the hallway. Graciously enough, the shuttle bay was nearby, allowing you to get your vessel ready to leave the station.

However, during your check over of the blast off area, you managed to find a small discarded computer device. It was still on, and seemingly displaying coordinates for a few different places on the planet below and elsewhere. It may prove useful, but taking it is up to you.

[Re Dead] - If I were a shuttle bay... - [1] You had severely hoped that the shuttle bay happened to be near the restrooms, and it was very unfortunate that you were mistaken. But what happened to be worse than the fact you were no closer to escape, was that you managed to trip and fall after taking a few steps down the hall.

[NE Sgamer 190] - Is there a map to the map? - [2] You found that while trying to find a map would have been helpful, it's a little difficult when you're already lost. There were a few signs up in the halls displaying what hall lead to what, but sadly all the arrows had been painted over. The only good thing about this was that you were left with a one in three shot of either going back to the cabins, the control room, or the main systems that you were after.

[Philosopher] - The man in the blue vending machine - [3] You quickly put on the spacesuit, even though it may not be much good to you while still torn. After donning your suit that had one good arm, you went out into the hall with a desire to seek out the Doctor. Why the Doctor would happen to be on this station is a mystery, but the closest thing you could clearly see in relation to that was eldritchseer pushing the USS Vendoor down the hallway.

[All left on the station] The remaining air in the station was starting to get a little thin, signalling that there wasn't much time left for anyone that still had intentions on living out the rest of their days.

This is bad... seems like I've a one in three chance of not getting foiled by directions again, and that the other two would not end well for me. (I sincerely doubt the controls would help at this point.

As for action: Realizing I'm not going to make it out (0% for finding escape pods), I must try one last time to get to the life support, and fix the things. It was nice knowing me... At least the station's not rigged to explode on no oxygen.

Locate and begin flailing at the nearest computer terminal in a slightly-delusional attempt to get the life support back online.
