Krazy Eddy's Technology Emporium

An Ancient Station

''It would have been easy for your fleet to pass over what appears to be just another field of space junk, but of course, no self-respecting sales-bot would let you pass its place of business without snaring your ships in a powerful tractor beam and informing you via radio that the 'time for savings savings beginszzzztt now!. The beam carefully guides your vessel through the junkfield until you come upon the massive wreck of an ancient space station. Scanners indicate that the hanger bay and some attached compartments are pressurized, and it is here that the tractor beam finally deposits your vessel.''


 * Go through door

''You enter a room that appears to be a lounge of some sort. The smell of Ozone permeates the air. You see a wheeled robot positioned in the corner of the room, its wheels pointed towards the corner. It backs up slowly from the corner and then lurches forward, crashing into the wall. It back up slowly and then repeats its behavior, over and over. You wonder how long its been doing this. A sign on the opposite wall reads, in your native tongue, 'Krazy Eddy's Technology Emporium', and you see a small alcove there littered with piles of ancient junk, broken relics and tattered blueprints. At the back of the emporium you see a bug eyed robot in a cage. You notice that it's not as dusty as the rest of the junk in the room. It appears to be functioning, although it also appears to be sizzling randomly, and you assume it must be Krazy Eddy.''


 * Approach Krazy Eddy
 * Head back to the ship

''You approach the robot, which shouts out in a sing-song fashion: 'Welcome to Krazy Eddy's Technology Empoooorrrrium!' zzst 'Most people don't come here because they think I may Explloooddde! st zzst! 'Also I control all the plasma cannon turrets throughout the complex! Don't steal anything!' zzst 'You can buy anything you like for a mere factor of the price I payed!' zzzst 'Of course I'm not going to tell you the factor - you think I'm KRAZY?!' ZZST!''


 * (-700 BC) Purchase a large, dual-barreled magazine loader. The electronics look fairly advanced although the unit itself appears broken. Your scientists may be able to learn something from it. (Special Research Project; Research Destroyed Magazine)


 * (-250 BC) Junked terminals, broken storage lockers - a laundry basket? this can't be worth 250 BC, but among the debris you notice a partial list of protocols on crew quality of life that are very detailed. (Special Research Project; Research Crew Protocols)


 * (-1600 BC) Piles of gears, metal dust and advanced motors reside in a display. A tattered old blueprint is taped to the glass, bearing a diagram looks like some sort of fabricator. Krazy Eddy shouts 'Good luck with that one! Zzst!' every time you look at it. (Special Research Project; Research Complex Facility)


 * (-2100 BC) A dusty pair of data crystals hangs on a rope. You get a feeling like you know where you're going when you look at them. Krazy Eddy says the previous owner hung them over his cockpit dashboard and that they were still intact when he found the wreckage on a nearby moon. (Special Research Project; Research Ancient Data Crystals)


 * (-1000 BC) Complex schematics defining how particles interact on the quantum level are partially legible. Krazy eddy says they're a good read, but whoever wrote them was a crazy dice player. (Special Research Project; Research Quantum Schematics)


 * (-500 BC) Schematics for some sort of shield generator are packaged with a small device that looks like a prototype. (Special Research Project; Research Small Shield Capacitor)


 * (-1500 BC) A strange-looking engine core sits in the corner leeking a noxious-smelling fume. Krazy Eddy assures you that your sickbay will be able to treat whatever radiation sickness you develop as a result of inspecting the engine. (Special Research Project; Research Scented Engine Core)


 * (-3200 BC) You see large vial filled with a swirling silver concoction. It feels impossibly light when you pick it up. Krazy Eddy informs you the silver fluid is very tasty. Must be why it's so expensive. (Special Research Project; Research Silver Fluid)


 * (-400 BC) This complex system of gear housings looks like it could have used to ammo into a breech; of course there's no barrel or breach left. But you're almost certain it's some kind of weapon. (Special Research Project; Research Gear Housing)


 * (-2100 BC) A large chunk of ancient hull sits precariously on a fine hardwood table. Your handheld scanner cannot identify the composition of the plating. Krazy Eddy tells you that the table is not included in the purchase price. (Special Research Project; Research Metal Debris)


 * Walk cautiously away from Krazy Eddy
