Things Found in a Derelict Space Ship
(d100)
The bleeping on this ship is normal. But the blooping coming from the other room is a red flag.
1
A barrel with 50 gallons of pure, clean drinking water.
2
A metal box full of d20 powerful glowsticks of varying colors.
3
A series of fans rigged up to keep something very red and scary looking from getting any warmer.
4
A broken rejuvenation chamber. Leaking noxious gases into the room.
5
An auto-ladder. Starts out very small and extends up to 30 feet.
6
A video game system built into a small table. Still seems operational.
7
The head of a broken robot. With a little repair, it could probably tell you what happened here.
8
A small can of freeze spray.
9
Small metal cans with easily removable lids. Seems like whatever food is inside is still alive. Or has come alive.
10
A trap door leading to a hidden chamber. The walls are covered in the drawings of a madman.
11
Half-broken night vision goggles. Have a one in ten chance of malfunctioning and temporarily blinding the wearer.
12
An unstable radioactive heating unit. If left alone, it may not melt down.
13
A stash hidden behind a seductive poster on the wall. Contains a pile of currency and a vial of noxious smelling cologne.
14
A holo-map indicating a point in space at the far edge of the galaxy. Makes a disturbing buzzing sound.
15
A small battery based on alien technology. Powers tech by draining life essence.
16
A collection of buckets, each containing tepid still water filled with unfamiliar alien insect eggs.
17
A vial of green goop that appears biological in nature.
18
A small electronic device plugged into a port in the ship's wall. Surrounded by signs saying, "DO NOT REMOVE." Removing the device will permanently cripple the ship's onboard computer.
19
A data pod containing surveys of rare materials on far-flung exoplanets. It looks difficult to read the data without some very old technological adaptor.
20
A thermal lance. A single-use tool for probing through most metal compounds.
21
An extremely unstable power core. Someone must have been tinkering beyond their understanding. It could explode unless carefully handled and disposed of.
22
A scale model version of the same ship you're on. Destroying the model will reveal something valuable hidden inside.
23
A cabinet filled with a strange black mold. Remaining in the same room with it can put anyone to sleep for 1d20 weeks or until they are removed from the room.
24
A very old spacesuit meant for a short four-legged creature.
25
The broken pieces of some kind of glow-sword.
26
A large medical vat used to contain dangerous species. It is broken and empty.
27
A stasis pod containing a tiny alien embryo.
28
A mechanism which opens a small viewing hole in a metal door or hull while maintaining pressure and integrity.
29
A locked and sealed safe containing various extremely rare minerals and a star map to a distant system.
30
A collection of hologram cards depicting nightmarish violence between strange tentacled creatures.
31
A roll of extremely dense but pliable material. Would be great for suffocating fires. Or people.
32
An unreliable jetpack hanging from a hook on the wall. It *might* work.
33
A false wall. Tapping lightly on it reveals one-way visibility into the next room.
34
A handheld navigational beacon. It seems activated. Perhaps something is coming.
35
A negative entropy grenade. Clears a single chamber of all gasses, fire, and debris. Gathers all materials into a small, tidy area.
36
An aluminum tin of preserved food. Nearly impossible to open without the missing SafeRite Key produced by Koziman Industries.
37
A handheld welding torch with enough fuel to seal a door.
38
A cigar cutter in the pattern of an iris diaphragm. Sharp enough to cut fleshy objects.
39
A Personal Mayday Transponder (or PMT). It acts as a dead man's switch and will send out a distress call if not reset every 15 minutes.
40
A faulty cloaking device. Wear it as a belt and it can more or less cloak either the bottom or top half of your body for 30 seconds. Requires 12 hours to recharge.
41
A foot-long, adjustable gooseneck camera attached to a tiny low-resolution gray screen.
42
The rotating barrel from a large minigun.
43
An extremely detailed star map of the local area printed out on cheap paper stacked into a disorganized heap. Painstakingly taping it together could provide new insights into the area.
44
A breaching gun. Contains a single charge meant to blow through doorways or bulkheads. Could probably blast through living flesh just as easily.
45
A pair of magnetic boots. Turn the little dial on each one to make it stick to a ferrous surface.
46
A motion detector. Makes an iconic bleep-blooping sound when things are close.
47
A busted distress beacon. The batteries are leaking acid.
48
The head of a stuffed bear, sewn closed at the neck.
49
An auto-therapy device. It's a small brown box that waits until you're done talking and then asks, "and how does that make you feel?"
50
An intact hydraulic system for articulating large machinery.
51
A fantastic mural painted with found objects. It appears to be a depiction of Cain slaying Abel. The anatomy is perfectly rendered.
52
An extraordinarily comfortable high-backed chair. The color is reprehensible.
53
A stationary running machine with straps for low gravity exercise.
54
A snowglobe filled with deadly spores. The scene depicted is of an ancient city suffering from plague.
55
A bag of liver flavored Salt-E Crisp potato chips. The sell by date is a hundred years in the future.
56
A comfortable reflective robe. It is adjustable and will fit anyone reasonably well.
57
A ship manifest containing records of redacted cargo. Several lines are obfuscated or crossed out.
58
Derelicts, doing derelict activities.
59
A sealed container of smart-foam that expands to fill breaches in hulls. Writing on the side reads: "DO NOT THAW! SENTIENT!!"
60
A pair of sonic bolt-cutters. Uses intense localized sound to break through metal.
61
A rusted tank of flamethrower fuel. One forceful blow could knock the valve clean off.
62
A portable humidor containing a set of fine cigars.
63
A stack of training manuals for the current space station or vessel. Red marks and marginalia throughout indicate the persnickety nature of some past engineer.
64
Vacuum matches. They each contain an oxidizing chemical coating which allows them to burn in space or underwater.
65
A sensory disruption visor. Meant to scramble one's identity while communicating over short range comms.

The credentials and access cards of a high ranking corporate officer.
68
A portable radio tuned to one far-off station deep in the cosmos which is manned by a single person who won't stop playing the saddest songs in the universe.
69
An ad-hoc water purification system made from kitchen supplies. It appears to somehow be functional.
70
A really useful pen. It can write in high temperatures and low gravity.
71
An ancient analog camera. Photographs taken with the camera emerge nearly instantly and develop in seconds.
72
A small black notebook containing passwords and codes for local systems. The cover reads: "Amateur Poetry and Banjo Tips."
73
The heart of an animal wrapped in razor wire and suspended above the photograph of a smiling woman.
74
A wide-leafed, variegated plant placed below the strange blue light beam of an unknown device. Any harm which comes to the plant while under the light is immediately repaired.
75
A bucket of grease. The label just says "Grease," but someone modified it to say "Space Grease," presumably as a joke.
76
A beam of orange light emanating from a crack in the side of a strange cube device. If the light make contact with skin it will cause immediate radioactive burns and scars.
77
A vacuum chamber slightly larger than a human head. Inside of it: a human head.
78
A black pile of smelly fungus that inches its way towards any source of sound.
79
A nearly unbreakable rubber band. Right now it's just humbly holding some documents together.
80
An alien life form in a large vat. It is thrashing against the glass to be released.
81
A black box with an exhaust port at one side and a reservoir of liquid at the other. When activated, it fills the room with a thick inert smoke. Great for generating atmosphere.
82
A mechanical canary. Designed to test the safety of foreign environments, the canary will collapse if the atmosphere is unsafe. In safe atmospheres, it will reassemble itself.
83
An armored space suit hanging forgotten on a steam pipe. The red and white designs are extremely tasteful and eye catching.
84
A children's puzzle game. Two orthogonal rods are covered in colored tiles. Changing the alignment of one affects the other. Very confusing.
85
An ammo box full of pink tracer rounds.
86
A book of focusing lenses. The glass seems to be extremely finely crafted. Some are tarnished or cracked, others are in perfect condition.

A nuclear detonator found in a pile of remote controls for entertainment monitors.
88
A countertop covered in hundreds of paper cranes.
89
A portable megaphone, augmented to amplify voices to ear-shattering volumes.

96
A spool of invisible, unbreakable wire. Only about 10 feet of it remains.
97
A sealed tin of coffee. Still wonderfully aromatic once opened.
98
Thirty three milliliters of corrosive acid. Weirdly, it smells incredible.
