Been a rough week - wife had surgery, house plumbing broke, etc. Finally getting to answer my emails. ... Ship's locker of a Type-S on exploration duty - 2 four-person survival packs (see Marooned) - still sealed to meet regs A partial survival pack, with stuff beat up and used. More than half the consumables have been used A multi-use survival shovel tool with various saw, knife, firestarter, axe attachments. One of the handle sections is bent, so it can't do everything it was designed for A very beat up hammock, with "fly screen" 2 collapsible buckets A canvas bag full of towels. The outer pocket has a bunch of clamps and clips and laundry pins. The other outer pocket has 47 meters of paracord A "Chandlers of Koriva" waterproofed leather bag with a picnic service for 4 (plates, cups, bowls, flatware) A cardboard box for a "portable 2 meter radio" - the box has the recharging cord, the programming cord, the instruction manual and the packing material. The radio is missing. An Imperial Army ammo box. Inside,wrapped in a fleece blanket, is a pair of wine glasses of elegant cut, and two small (2 cups each) boxes of wine, one white, one red. An Imperial Army backpack containing the Lead Scout's (ie, ship owners) bail out bag, pre-loaded and ready to go A plastic tool box marked "Plumbing", with a variety of tools and short pipes, fittings, etc for a planet-side house plumbing job A partial DDOI bag, with a service tag in it saying it's out of date and no longer classified. About a third of the normal contents are in it A locked container with 4 Carbines, 4 Autopistols, 4 Blades, plus sundry ammo, magazines, and such A TL7 14mm bolt-action rifle with scope, "Chandlers of Koriva" is engraved on one side of the receiver. On the other side is a hunting scene with a man holding a rifle facing down an elephant-sized thing that looks like a cross between a cape buffalo and T-Rex. A matching leather pouch contains 14 rounds of ammo, 32 empty shell cases, and a cleaning kit with bullet mold,loading tool and a booklet on loading your own ammo. A partial case of Imperial Army Ration cookies. These are just the "cookie, fudge round" packets from the Imperial version of MREs. The box says there should be 144 packets of 4 cookies each. It's about half-full A teddy bear about 9" tall An Imperial Navy seabag, chock full of bundles of string, cord, paracord, rope and line. Lengths vary from 0.25m to 9.3m. A fishing tackle box marked "Fasteners" - contains a large assortment of nails, screws, bolts, nuts, washers. There are a fair number of "don't match" items in it - bolts with no nut, nuts with no matching bolt, etc. A 2 meter length of chain, with a cheap (think Dollar Tree quality) padlock or combination lock in each link of the chain.
