The Bridge is a baroque combination of parts from half a dozen different vessels. The metals and plastics vary in appearance, the monitors and screens seem ill fitting and mismatched. | The Bridge is a baroque combination of parts from half a dozen different vessels.

The Hatch is pressure sensitive, split sliding door. It will only open if the pressure is equalized on both sides. So it will not open in vacuum, unless the ship is depressurized. |

Formerly the owner's suite, this space is cramped for a medical bay. The original bunk was replaced with a medical bed. A 14 year old medical scanner and computer was fitted into the space above and beside the bed. There is a high-lumen surgical lamp mounted to the ceiling over the medical bed, a scrounger's find from Miranda. The original safe built into a small desk is still there. The rest of the room is composed of cabinets holding medical supplies and equipment. <br> | Formerly the owner's suite, this space is cramped for a medical bay.

Standing in the doorway looking into the galley, one can see how every inch of space has been put to use. <br><br> |
On the wall to the immediate right is a pass-through window fitted with a wide sill to let plates and platters sit for pick-up. Directly beneath it on the wall is a rack with such commonly used things like napkins, dishtowels, and placemats. To the right of the pass through is a clean run of wall all the way to the corner and it's a popular place to leave messages for and by the crew. Someone's thoughtfully duct taped a string with a grease pencil to the wall to facilitate note taking and the painted metal wall is smooth enough to write on. Because the wall is metal, magnets abound here and notes on paper are found attached here too.<br><br> | On the wall to the immediate right is a pass-through window fitted with a wide sill to let plates and platters sit for pick-up.

The sink is 8 inches deep, double welled, with single lever spray hose faucet. Sunk in the counter to the left of the sink is the disposal hatch. All garbage and scraps go here. Plumbing and the disposal systems take up most of the room below the counter under the sink but there is room in the corners to either side for storage. Given the blind-corner aspects of the L-shaped spaces, 3/4 lazy-susan shelves store items from stockpots to foodstuffs. Folding doors close and latch securely over them to lock the shelves in place.<br><br> | The sink is 8 inches deep, double welled, with single lever spray hose faucet.

| − | On the wall running from the sink counter to the door is | + | On the wall running from the sink counter to the door of the galley is a bank of floor-to-ceiling cabinets a mere foot deep. The broom closet is here as are the cleaning supplies for the galley. Running from the fridge, over the stove, and corner to corner over the sink are storage cabinets going to the ceiling. The doors and hatches on both the overhead cabinets and the floor-to-ceiling unit operate on countersunk turn-latches for secure storage. Some of the doors and hatches are removeable containers of the airline variety, the others are the more conventional fitted cabinetry work. The one break in the overhead cabinet run is immediately over the cooktop where the exhaust hood is mounted. The cabinetry there runs only half the distance to the ceiling, starting at the top edge of the hood instead of the more standard height above the counter.<br><br> |

For instance, Rina likes her creature comforts. She has nice sheets: microfleece blanket in a rich deep red, buff colored sheets in cotton, a couple of throw pillows upholstered in something soft and sturdy. A thick plush men's bathrobe can be found draped across the foot of her bunk when it's not in her locker. The bedclothes are ruthlessly tucked in tight and the pillows are stacked against the headboard end of the bunk.<br><br> | For instance, Rina likes her creature comforts.

| − | She also likes to read. Trade magazines, tech manuals and professional journals can be found tucked neatly behind the folded upper bunk. A paperback or two from the passenger lounge can be found there too. Rina is an inveterate notetaker--no less than three notepads of various sizes can be found in her quarters. A small one is stored in the drop well of her headboard shelf. A larger pad sits in the matching drop well of the desk shelf and usually several larger ones are stashed with her reading material in the upper bunk. Pencils and pens are secured in her desk drawer but one or two can be found clipped to their notepads. <br><br> | + | She also likes to read.

It's mostly instrumental, with guitars, synth and base in a driving beat like the engines she maintains making up the majority of the tracks, with a smattering of opera, folk, and vocal pieces filling in the empty spaces. She prefers to listen to the music via earphones while at her desk or on the bunk, usually while reading or writing. Rarely does she have the music playing over the speakers--she likes her music loud and is loath to disturb others with it. <br><br> |
| − | No pictures adorn the place save for a diagram/pop-up drawing of the ''Gift'''s deck plan in two matching frames made of clear plexi clipped with binder clips and attached magnetically to the metal walls. A colored pencil drawing of the ''Gift'' as might be seen from space is displayed in another plexi-and-binder-clip frame. The deck plan is mounted to the bulkhead above the desk and the portrait is mounted at shoulder height next to the door, over the foot of her bunk. | + | No pictures adorn the place save for a diagram/pop-up drawing of the ''Gift'''s deck plan in two matching frames made of clear plexi clipped with binder clips and attached magnetically to the metal walls.

The rest of the space from desk to rear right corner is the bunk. It's 3.5 feet wide and goes all the way to the wall. It's 24 inches from the deck to top of mattress and the base is a full-length storage drawer. Above the bunk is a foldaway bunk of the same dimensions, folded flat against the wall.<br><br> | The rest of the space from desk to rear right corner is the bunk.

In the top inside edge of this recessed space is a light strip to provide light to see or read by. Built into the shelf is a console straddling the boundary of the desk/bunk edges. The console is angled for viewing and has the door lock controls, intercom controls, lighting controls, data ports to plug into the ship's Cortex system, a clock with alarm, a radio/media player, and thermostat.<br><br> |
Standing at the desk looking back at the door to the quarters, the doorjamb clears the bunk edge by a scant 8 inches and likewise clears the corner of the room on the other side by 6 inches. There is an integrated control panel in the jamb on the left, over the foot of the bunk and it is similar to the headboard console, minus the radio/media player. Centered at the top of the jamb is an emergency lighting fixture and the jamb itself is painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, for times when the main power fails. On the long run of wall opposite the bunk, there is nothing to break up the space except for light strip starting 6 feet above the deck. It's 4 inches wide and the wall continues to the pipes overhead without further features.<br><br> | Standing at the desk looking back at the door to the quarters, the doorjamb clears the bunk edge by a scant 8 inches and likewise clears the corner of the room on the other side by 6 inches.
