Lodor sets down Kiirriss down and says "Copy that. Science labs it is."
He then looks at the other three gunners there and says "I don't suppose anybody'd like to join me? Considering that anybody could lose it at any time, it probably won't hurt to have more sets of sane hands." He'll then head to the science labs with anybody willing to help.

The Gunnery crew looks to Krudar for orders. ANy he sends will follow you to the labs. I would suggest Sarkin she would be great, or wake up Kiirriss? ----
Vandal steps off the twisting walkway and launches herself into hyperspace. She expects the zero-G experience of floating and instead receives a quick acceleration like being in the cockpit as your fighter is launched. She is coming at the mote of science lab far faster than expected and must tuck and roll. The landing is like a HALO drop from the academy training but she lands sideways on the sideways lab floor.
She also notes that the lab looks larger than it should. As she stands her head is barely reaches the seat of a nearby chair. She looks from chair, to desk, to lab table, to the labs containment cages which are all as large as her and opened. The small womprat that was running down the twisted path earlier is now at the end of the path sniffing the air in the mote about 40m from Vandal. At this size he is now about a 2m long womprat.
-----
Lodor arrives to find alarms going off in the bridge. He finds the source of the alarm is the trandosain security officer has opened the emergency EVA locker as is pulling on a vacc suit. Lodor also see the open door and the hyperspace beyond. Looking out he sees Vandal standing sideways on a part of the science lab. She looks unusually small from his perspective. He notes that on the backside of her mote walking along the backside are 6 white womp rats.
A bridge officer who looks to be a formal imperial is yelling at the Trando as he is hissing back.

Vandal's expression was unreadable, but her calm, professional, IMPERIAL demeanor managed to shine through, stoically accepting the cartoonish lunacy of everything around her. Even reality was failing her right now. She turned on her external speaker and took a look at the lab womp rat, holstering her blaster and letting out a whistle she used for her dog back home. Well, before she was rejected the initial invite and found her bank accounts emptied, and her apartment burned to the ground. She cut her mic at the memory. "To hell with that grinder." She murmured, turning her mic back on and popping a squat to beckon the lab womp rat over. "C'mere sugar. Come to mama." She said in a gentle, unmodulated voice.

Vandal squats down then notes next to the table is a large box of food pellets(triumph). She holds one pellet in her two hands and continues to call to the womprat.
The rat sniffs and then waddles close and begins chewing on the pellet. She turns noticing a half dozen womprats of unusual size are closing in. They each takes a pellet from her and soon she has 7 not so dwarfish rats surrounding her.

For a moment, Lodor cringes in fear, preparing for the vacuum of space to pull him through the door to his death. When that doesn't happen, he's pretty confused. He interrupts the two arguing crewmen with "I don't know what the problem is here, but if you're seeing what I'm seeing through that door, I'm pretty sure it's not that important. We're not being sucked into a vacuum or dying from oxygen deprivation, so that's not any hull breach. It's probably just caused by the same thing that's been causing hallucinations across the ship. Let's just go in there and see if we can work with Vandal to solve whatever's doing this."
Just in case he's wrong, Lodor will then put on his breath mask, set up his grapple line in any place he can find to properly secure himself, and will slowly enter the room, preparing to pull back the line and himself if anything goes awry.

Krudar gives the order for them to proceed with Lodor and wake up Sarkin. Krudar tries to make sense of what is happening taking into account all he has learned of space. (any type of roll? if not then the will proceed)

A regular mistress of the wilds, Vandal made a low whistle and scratched the chin of the first to eat from her hands in an uncharacteristically gentle fashion."Good boy. Good boy." She cooed, popping her helmet's seals so the rats would recognize her scent in the future. She would let them familiarize themselves with her scent as she continued to hand out the pellets. She half expected a cake labelled Eat Me under the pellets, snorting in amusement while she continued to feed her new mischief of rats and pet them. She was the exact opposite of what was expected of a Stormtrooper. Resourceful and with force of personality. She resealed and scratched the chin of her new favorite. "Good Bondie, beautiful Bondie. my Bondie."

OOC: Survival is the wrangling skill the food you gained from the triumph gives you a boost to controlling the womprats.
Lodor walks down the path as it twists the gravity shifts so the path is always down. His grapple soon twists around the curves of the path and becomes difficult to maneuver with.
The Trando security officer follows after he sees Lodor is not sucked into hyperspace.
The two arrive at the Biolab mote and see a half sized Corporal Vandal feeding some normal (little less than 1m) White Womp Rats. The lab is separated from the other lab areas and floating with a slow tilt. It's spin is what is twisting the path slowly.
There is a twisted path to the east and a path south that looks melted. You can also see motes floating above and below you without paths.
Looking around the lab you see there are opened cages for the womprats and other missing creatures. You know that Raso was collecting animals to use for testing and research.
As look over the lab Potshot and Jitonne arrive at the bridge.
----
Corporal Vandal looks up at the double sized Gunner and Security officer as they tower over her.

Since it's twisting around, Lodor retracts the grapple back to his body. He crouches down and speaks softly to avoid scaring off the womprats. "You're...Vandal, right? I'm Lodor Kintor. It looks like you get to be part of the worst ship orientation given ever since new recruits showed up on the Death Star. Hopefully this one's at least better than that..."
He turn to comm the bridge "Bridge, whatever's going on in science lab is definitely the source of all of our problems. This place is so spaced, I'm half expecting a vegetarian rancor to show up and recite Gammorean poetry to me. I've got no sign of the science team yet, but that could be due to the...unusual effects of the area. Lodor out."
Lodor will then try to look from path to path and mote to mote in the hopes of catching any sign of the science team or any apparent origin of these effects.
Mechanics: Perception Check. I'll roll a simple, and if difficulty dice are needed you can roll and add them on. 1P1A. Result 2 successes 1 advantage.

Lodor notes the parts of the lab are replicated in some spots. He sees the refresher area at the same level on the path, above him, and below him. He notes as the one over him spins that a shower is leaking. The water is dribbling over the edge of the mote and then flowing along the back of the room. The path south that is melted looking leads to refresher/ shower room. The room is covered in steam and you can not see what is inside. The path east is part of the geology lab and he sees a path from it to the life boat/ emergency shuttle that was on this side of the ship. The geology lab has a verpine hiding behind a lab stool with what looks like a rock creature threatening him.
Potshot and Jitonne arrive in the first biolab. "Wow last time I was tripping this much was the after party on Yavin 4. That wookie hand a bandoleer full of the good stuff. We got four sheets to the..." "Edly this is not the time." Jitonne states. "Sorry, Corporal Vandal reserve Security is reporting for duty." Potshot attempts a halfarsed salute,"Is that better Jitty."

"At ease. Trust me, this is easier to cope with than the culture shock when I was... invited... into the Republic military." she replied in a modulated deadpan that made her sound like a man. "Try listening to 'rousing' speeches from senate dropouts who slur worse than Hutts and reek so strongly of alcohol that you fear you'd ignite if you so much as turned on a commbead. This? Infinitely preferable."
She started to move to the pellet storage. "Could you boys do me a favor and get me, Bondie and the rest of the mischief to a spot that's less... wrong? Oh, and the food. Time might be wrong here too. She looked up with a tilt of her head. "You can't tell, but I'm fluttering my eyelashes. Honest." she paused, looking to the cages. "We should move those too, shouldn't we?" By 'we' she clearly meant 'them' since she was currently fun-size. "Think we have a dollhouse I can crash in if this is permanent?"

Lodor chuckles "If we pull the science guys out of this, I think they'd build you a to-scale replica of the Imperial Palace to live in if you wanted-" he notices the geology lab "Oh stang! I don't know what that is, but I don't think it likes Bifzik!"
He pulls out his blaster and takes aim, but hesitates before pulling the trigger. "Anybody have experience with angry rock formations? My thought is to blast it, but I don't want to find out that it feeds on energy to survive and becomes even more powerful or any other surprises."
Mechanics: Lodor will try to figure out what type of rock the creature is made out of, and whether it has any known reactions to energy or certain chemicals. Education Check 3A vs 3D. Net result 2 successes.

Lodor sees the rock creature is made up of dolomite, feldspar, granite, quartz, Basalt, Limestone, and a few darkstryder crystals. As the rock creature tosses the stool Bifzik crawls under a desk and away from the creature.
Edly "Potshock" looks at Vandal with his head tilted sideways. A broad smile covers his round face. "I've gots to say it."
Jintonne who looks like a princess but fires the big guns in gunnery points at him,"Don't."
"I have to."
"No."
Edly kneels before the half sized Vandal,"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" He breaks into loud laughter and slowly gets back up on his old knees.
The Rock Creature stops swinging at Bifzit and looks to your mote. The little white womp rats scurry to the other side of the mote except for blonde who keeps eating and nuzzles Vandal's hand.
"Your impossible!" Jittonne states.

Slyer hears the report from the science lab, "Lodor nice job do you need any help there?"
Krudar has to laugh himself at Potshot's joke.
