Locations within the Spaceship

1. Social & Living Zone
   The place where the crew spends most of their time, where they start watching and suspecting each other.

• The Hub: The heart of the ship. A passageway connecting all areas, and where survivors gather for meetings.
• Crew Quarters: Personal spaces.
• Mess Hall: Where the automatic food dispenser is located.
• Med-Bay: Where bodies are examined or infection is checked. It has cryo-pods, good for trapping people alive or storing bodies.

2. Technical & Power Zone
   Dark, complex, and 'treacherous' places, perfect for disguising accidents as murders.

• Reactor Core: Where the massive energy source pulses.
• Jefferies Tubes: Narrow passages that connect the entire ship like a net.
• Comms Array: The only place to contact the outside (Earth).
• Server Room: Where the AI core and servers are located. It's always cold and foggy due to the cooling system, making visibility difficult.

3. Specialized Facilities
   Unique fields that can maximize SF horror.

• Hydroponics: Lisa Chen's domain. Full of plants that supply oxygen, with soil and dense foliage.
• Airlock: The entrance/exit to space.
• Waste Management: Where the ship's trash is compacted or incinerated.
• Observation Deck: Where the endless expanse of space is visible through a giant window.
