[edit] Location Status
This is mostly just a fun little scenery room, although it does contain both the titanium tray and the microwave used in the Repairing the engine puzzle.
[edit] Location
What is the name of your location?
Kitchen
What text is displayed to the player upon entering the location for the first time, if there is any?
...
Write your location description here.
The dingy kitchen is approximately 3 by 4 metres wide, and would be cozy when your chef and weapons officer Josh Hudson is in here mixing up the latest batch of mush for you all to suffer through, but it's nice and roomy when you're on your own. It looks like it was decorated circa 1984, with unattractive korma-coloured cupboard doors and faux tile lino on the floor. On the aft wall is an oven and a bank of head height cupboards with a wildly marked worktop underneath. Halfway down, the pantry door hangs off its hinges. You can see vermin footprints in some flour that's fallen off one of the pantry shelves.
Lining the worktop are various industrial appliances that look like they've not seen a wash in several light years; which is strange, as the sink is less than a metre away. In the middle of room is a worktop island, and on the starboard side of the room, the bin, next to the refrigerator, overfloweth.
An old microwave is on the worktop.[initial]
On the worktop island in the middle of the room are the leftovers from your last stir fry fix sitting on a dirty kitchen tray.[initial]
[single random occurrence] Something large and scaly scurries out of the room from the pantry, and through the open door to the fore.
Where does the player go, or what is displayed when the player tries to go in the fore, aft, port, starboard, up, or down directions?
fore: Canteen
aft:
[if scurrying has occured] There's nothing this way but scurrying sounds coming from the pantry shelves.
[otherwise] There's nothing this way but you notice that the scurrying sounds have stopped.
port: Spaceship:Middle Deck Aft Corridor
starboard: ...
up: ...
down: ...
What is displayed when a player tries to go in a direction that has no exits.
You can't leave that way. You can see the picnic tables of the canteen through the fore door, and the middle deck aft corridor through the door to the port.
If you have any notes for the programmers about the location, put them here.
The cupboards can be opened and there will be thingies inside. The tap can be turned on and off.
[edit] Scenery Objects
What is the name of your object?
Appliances
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
appliances, industrial, blue, blender, triple slice toaster, electronic scales
Describe your object here.
A myriad of appliances clutter the top of the worktop here, including a sky blue blender, a triple slice toaster, and an electronic scales.
How can your object be manipulated by the player, and what happens, or is displayed when the player attempts to do so? (for example, the player may try to take or push or pull or jump over your object...)
Use: There's no time for cooking.
What is the name of your object?
Bin
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
Bin, trash, can, garbage, overflowing
Describe your object here.
It's one of those foot operated bins; foot goes down, lid goes up, foot goes up, lid goes down. At least, that's how it would work if it wasn't currently overflowing with trash, forcing the lid permanently open. It's silver plated and shaped like a bullet; you could well imagine loading it into the torpedo chamber and firing it at a colossal space werewolf.
How can the object be manipulated by the player, and what happens, or is displayed when the player attempts to do so? (for example, the player may try to take or push or pull or jump over your object...)
empty: You're proud of your record of never having emptied a bin in your lifetime, and now's certainly not the time to break that record.
take: Thankfully, to your knowledge there's no such thing as a space werewolf, so there's no need to carry this around with you.
What is the name of your object?
Cookbook (inside the cupboard)
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
cook book, recipe book, book, cookery book
Describe your object here.
Cooking on a budget for the crew of an intergalactic cargo freighter for dummies volume 1. The book has been well used, the stains Hudson has left on each page act as a historical record of his culinary experimentation in the name of cabbage soup perfection.
How can the object be manipulated by the player, and what happens, or is displayed when the player attempts to do so? (for example, the player may try to take or push or pull or jump over your object...)
take: Cooking is part of Chef Hudson's duties. Captain's don't cook, that's rule number 3 in the Captain's handbook.
What is the name of your object?
Leftovers
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with. Leftovers, noodles
Describe your object here.
These are the leftovers from that batch of bell peppers and beef stir-fry that Hudson prepared for you before the crew went on holiday. He loves to make batches of food, even when only serving a single person. For breakfast, you usually get a large batch of porridge, lunch normally consists of a batch of macaroni casserole, for dinner you are served a batch of lumpy mash with parsnip chunks, and for supper a batch of batchelors curried noodle soup is always forthcoming. No wonder the bin is overflowing.

take: try taking the tray.
What is the name of your object?
Oven
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
Oven, stove, range,
Write your object description here
A futuristic vision in stainless steel, the oven combines retro 1950s styling with a functionality delivered by space-travel age materials. The oven looks as if it has enough capacity with it's twelve hobs and three large chambers to cook for the crew of a cargo vessel such as yours, though in truth most crew members prefer vending machine snacks and microwaveable ready-meals.

Turn on hob: The hot plate begins to glow instantly
Turn on oven: It would be pointless to turn the oven on with nothing inside.
What is the name of your object?
Faux Tile Lino
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
faux, tile, lino
Describe your object here.
The more you look at the kitchen floor the more you wish you hadn't. To call it stained doesn't really do justice to the baffling array of multi-coloured patterns constructed from what at one point must have been called food. While most of it has long been ground into a solid mass that will never come up, some of the fresher parts stick to the bottom of your boots as you carefully move through the small room.

...
What is the name of your object?
Footprints
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
Vermin, footprints, flour
Describe your object here.

...
What is the name of your object?
Wildly marked worktop
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
wildly, marked, worktop
Describe your object here.
Like most of the kitchen the worktop is a true testament to a chef determined to leave some permanent remnant of every meal he's cooked over every floor and surface. The last inspector who went through your ship nearly vomited when he saw this worktop and you had to fork over a rather cherished bottle of single malt to get him to clear your ship. You'd love to speak to Hudson about his kitchen hygiene but you like your internal organs to stay internal for as long as possible.

...
What is the name of your object?
Worktop island
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
worktop, island,
Describe your object here.
The island is unspectacular in it's functional nature. It attempts to hold things above the ground in a reasonably horizontal manner and you know what, it does it well!

[edit] Takeable Objects
What is the name of your object?
Kitchen Tray
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.
tray, kitchen, titanium,
Describe your object here.
One of the Chef's baking trays. You think it looks strangely flat for an oven tray until you realise it's a sheet of pure titanium. Why would he need titanium for cooking with, that's a rather expensive degree of overkill. Still Hudson has never been the most rational member of the crew.

actions
take: You dump the leftovers in the bin and "borrow" Chef's titanium tray, thinking it might be helpful in your repairs. You better find a replacement if and when you get back as you don't fancy an angry visit from him when he spots it's missing.

Microwave (openable container)
Provide three or more words for the player to refer to your object with.

switch on microwave: There's nothing inside it to heat up.
switch on microwave (when space putty is inside) : You switch the microwave on to its maximum setting and the block of putty begins slowly turning inside the device. Thankfully it looks like the microwave uses the right kind of radiation as the block begins to melt into a gloop like substance. Once the microwave has finished you quickly take the gloop as you figure you don't have long before this sets back into a solid chunk.
put space putty in the microwave: You place the solid mass inside the microwave

The lack of light inside tells of another victim of power-loss. Still, you can make out one jar of pesto, a tomato so ancient it actually qualifies for free travel on the ship, and the final bottle of beer on the ship.
What objects are inside your container?
Pesto: A jar of wondrous pesto, bestest food in the universe. Either half-full, or half empty.
Tomato: You're not sure, but you feel that this tomato predates space travel itself. Best leave it.
Beer: The last bottle of Leopard Lager anywhere on the ship. You're saving it for a special occasion, like rejoining civilisation.
