"Hello, Mail Courier. We've sent some important mail, marked with a red label. It is imperative for these to be successfully delivered. Don't. Mess. Up."
I like the idea of mail being a thing, but there's nothing much to it besides occasionally being given a screwdriver, bottle of saltpetre or credits based on your job.
So, Malicious Mail (or Mailicious, if you may), aims to fix this. This is a rare event that typically only occurs if there is a QM or a Mail Courier on board.
so, how does it work?
Couriers and QMs will be messaged via PDA about the delivery, as soon as it arrives. The red label can be peeled off, where it will instantly biodegrade and destroy.
As a QM / Courier, you'll notice they feel heavier in their inspect. To any other crewmember, they won't know any better.
These cannot be tampered, and will shock the user if they are tampered with.
When the victim opens it, they may find a bad suprise waiting for them.
Could be an activated curse artifact, instantly leaving them with a curse, an activated pipebomb, or generally unpleasant stuff otherwise.
After 5-12 minutes of the crate arriving, CentComm will warn crewmates of a "possibly hijacked batch of mail", and to be careful when opening any mail.
