# Derelict — ICV Ironbark — room key

ICV Ironbark died of a mutiny that neither side won. The bridge held the doors, the drive section held the power, and the ship drifted while they argued. Both sides left notes. Both sides are still aboard.

Last log entry: Nav Petrov. Their trail runs through three rooms.

Hook: The company's recovery contract pays double if the recorder is destroyed on site.

## Main deck

**1. Bridge**

Nav plot frozen on the last fix. Somebody wrote the numbers on the glass.
Hazard: improvised tripwire on the door, wired to a flare. Loud, bright, and it draws whatever is still moving.
Log fragment (Cpt.): "They have the reactor. We have the air. I intend to see who blinks."
Salvage: the flight recorder, intact. It shows who fired first, and whoever is left on either side will want it.
Trail 2/3: The card's last door. On the wall in grease pencil, in Petrov's hand: "THE DRIVE SECTION, BOTTOM LOCKER." That is the drive section (4).

**2. Crew quarters**

Bunks stripped. One is made, tight, the way the service teaches it.
Hazard: the food printer was poisoned. Both sides say the other did it. Anyone who eats from it is sick for the rest of the session.
Log fragment, under a bunk: a list of names with lines through them, in two different hands.

**3. Cargo hold**

Containers cut open, not unlocked.
Log fragment (Deckhand): "Moved the cargo before either side could claim it. Neither side has asked me. Yet."
Salvage: the cargo is what they were fighting over. It is worth exactly what someone will pay to keep it quiet.
Trail 1/3: A keycard on a lanyard by the door, Petrov's face on it. The door log says it last opened the bridge (1).

**4. Drive section**

Cold. The torch has not fired in weeks.
Hazard: a jammed hatch with a body on the far side, holding it shut from habit. Move the body and the hatch swings open at once, onto whatever is waiting behind it.
Trail 3/3: The bottom locker, its seal unbroken. Inside: Nav Petrov's recorder, with the last day on it, all of it.
