Shadow Ship Excelsior

3 Conversations

Above you hovers what apears to be a black asteroid1 that has a propultion system on it. Directly below it is a sign.

Shadow Ship Excelsior
Shadow Residence of:
SuperMoo

On closer inspection of the sign before you, you find that this is the Shadow residence of SuperMoo2

Surface of Ship3

As you board the ship you relize that the surface seems to absorb light that is cast upon it.

As you continue you notice a large number of Gauss Ion Cannon Batteries line the surface. You also see a opening in the surface that you presume is the door.

Level I4

As you enter you find yourself seemingly transported from the light absorbtion outside to the walls themselves emiting a dull light. On the wall there is a sign

Se Prohibe Lenguas EstraƱas

which rufly translates into "We Prohibit Strange Languages"

Most of this Level consists of SuperMoo's Living Quarters

The Room of Collection

Thru the door on the left is SuperMoo's collection of strange and random objects including:

  • German Cow Bell
  • American Cow Bell
  • Grog Carrier
  • Numerous CD's of music and soundbits from shows and movies

Level II

Battery Room I

This level Houses one of the many Battery Rooms. The Superconductive Batteries store the excess light energy that is absorbed by the surface for later use for powering the life support system6 Engines and the lighting system, as well as the common-use powergrid

Interdeminsional Warp Gate System

The Shadow Ship Excelsior is also equiped with an Interdeminsional Warp Gate opener so as travel great distances in extremely short spans of time. THe system itself requires huge stores of energy and, therefore, has three Battery Rooms to itself. The device itself is located at the front of the ship and occupies the middle foreward Weapons Array Room on Level II. Around this room, and it's main battery room, are several different types of shields, including a Continuity Shield7 and an Anti-Personel Barrier8

Level III

Armory

The predominant feature of this level is the the Armory of the Shadow Ship Excelsior. The armory is stocked the various weapons and is a near replica of the armory in the Evil Army of H2G2 base.

Level IV

Dust Cover Storage Room

This room is what apears to be a large warehouse in which numerous Dust covers are stored. Each cover sits over an oddly shaped wire frame to make it look like there is something under them. No real reason, although it does make for a good hiding spot...

Card Deck

This floor9 of Level IV is devoted to Card Games

  • Cribbage Tables
  • Din Lin Tables
  • Rook Tables
  • Hearts Tables
  • Spades Tables
  • Miles Borne Tables
  • Poker Tables
  • Bovine Tables
  • Kings In The Corner Tables

Level V

Main Engine Room

This room is devoted to the main engine for the craft. That's all that's in here, with exception of some EvilMinions who are carrying out routeen matainance. This room and it's main battery room are also protected by shielding similar to that in the Interdeminsional Warp Gate Systems room.

Battery Room II

This is Largest of the Battery Rooms and it's main function is to supply energy to the engines. The remaining energy is diverted to the Weapons Array Power Grid. Like the other batteries these too are Superconducters and are kept at near zero kelvin.

Level VI

Magazine

The ammunition for the smaller weapons are stored here. The reason for their storage being seperate from the storage of the weapons themselves is simple; if they were in the same place, what would you need powder boys for?

Level VII

The Phisics Room

This Level is entirely dedicated to Physics.10 Yes Physics I say.11

Remaining Level12

Weapons Array Rooms

These rooms are found on every Level with the exeption of the Surface. These rooms house the batteries for the Weapons Array Power Grid as well as the weapons themselves. The majority of the weapons are Gauss Ion Cannons. Each Level has either seven or nine of these rooms.13 In the Levels with seven Weapons Array Rooms on them, the rooms are distributed so that there are three forward rooms, two rooms on each side, and two aft rooms. Each room houses three weapons spaced evenly across th outside wall14. All of the weapons array rooms are sheilded with shielding like that of the Interdeminsional Warp Gate System.

1slightly longer than it is tall and about equally tall as it is wide2The ship...not the sign3The ship is divided currently into 8 levels being used, and one level that includes the remainder of the ship, starting with the top surface and then continuing downwards from Level 1 to Level 74Also note that a Level is not nessicarily one floor, it could be several5It sounds cooler than Teleportation Room6A fancy word for an Air Conditioner7Which garrentees that the gate system does not meet an unfortunate end, regardless of the status of the remainder of the ship8To prevent tresspassing9or deck10Of course with the exception of the Weapons Array Rooms11"Science...Science again...yes Science I say Science"12This Level is the remaining portion of the Ship, it does not have anything in it as of yet,with the exception of the Weapons Array Rooms, it may later be divided up into seperate Levels as needed13The top and bottom Levels of the ship have nine while everything inbetween has seven14The rooms are not nessisarily the same length, for example the side rooms are much longer than the forward of aft rooms, but are aproximatly the same width
