金星负鼠

金星负鼠是一种流落星际的入侵物种，在外环的飞船、太空站与殖民地里泛滥成灾。这种病瘦的有袋动物用无眼睑的眼柄四下搜寻，随时准备用能抓握的舌头舀起任何可吃的东西。

每只金星负鼠都知道人类是残羹剩饭和废弃垃圾的最佳来源。它们会不停跟随自己选中的主人，并且在出生不久后便将其铭印于心。一些天真的旅行者会把它们视作可爱的同伴，但多数老练的太空客却认为负鼠的出现是一种诅咒，是对船上不当行为的惩罚。

  • 喘息之机：它更像害兽而非宠物，所以看到自己的负鼠终于断气时，常常令人松一口气。你的负鼠死亡时，你的压力降低1点。

  • 我回来了！：摆脱一只负鼠往往只是暂时的。每次团开始时，掷 dice:1d10。若结果为1-5，一只先前死亡或被移走的负鼠会以某种方式再度出现，活蹦乱跳地回到你的飞船上。第一眼看到它时，你获得2点压力。

  • 胃里的好东西：负鼠的胃里总在消化某件不可食用的垃圾——那是它从垃圾堆或引擎室里叼出来的。每次团一次，掷 dice:1d10，看看你的负鼠会吐出什么。

  1. 负鼠幼体蛹——会铭印出生后见到的第一个人，并在8小时内长成成体
  2. 一块发光的矿石（3级辐射）
  3. 某种东西或某个人的粪便，也可能是它自己的
  4. 随机乘组贴章
  5. 一把生锈钉子
  6. 单只磁力靴
  7. 氧气瓶（可用1分钟）
  8. MRE 口粮
  9. 已上膛的信号枪
  10. 震慑手榴弹（效果同震慑电棒——15米半径）

VENUSIAN OPOSSUM

An invasive species of galactic strays, the Venusian Opossum infests ships, stations and colonies across the rim. The mangy marsupial’s lidless eyestalks search constantly for anything edible to scoop up with its prehensile tongue.

Every Venusian Opossum knows that humans are the best source of leftover scraps and discarded waste, and they follow their chosen master incessantly, imprinting on them near birth. Some naïve travelers see them as cute companions, but most veteran spacers see an opossum’s presence as a curse, a punishment for shipboard improprieties.

  • A WELCOME REPRIEVE: More often pest than pet, seeing your opossum finally breathe its last often induces a sigh of relief. When your opossum dies, reduce your Stress by 1.

  • THE CAT CAME BACK: Being rid of an opossum is often quite temporary. At the start of every session, roll 1d10. On 1-5, a previously dead or removed opossum somehow appears, alive and well again, on your ship. At first sight, gain 2 Stress.

  • GIZZARD GOODIES: An opossum’s gut is always digesting some inedible piece of garbage plucked from a trash pile or engine room. Once per session, roll 1d10 to see what your opossum yaks up.

  1. baby possum pupa - imprints on first person it sees, grows to maturity in 8 hours
  2. lump of glowing mineral (level 3 radiation)
  3. something or someone’s feces, possibly its own
  4. random crew patch
  5. handful of rusty nails
  6. single mag-boot
  7. O2 canister (1 minute of air)
  8. MRE
  9. loaded flare gun
  10. stun grenade (stun baton effect - 15m radius)
