borrowing from the escape pod thread idea of crashing on a random planet, what if there was a random event that teleported several crewmen onto a zlevel all unprepared?
Basically the land of the lost but in space.
Escape would consist of
A. Survive dangerous things
B. turn the thing off that is blocking the radios so that the crew knows where you are.
C. Get back to station (assuming telescience is still available)
The crew would be notified that several crewmen (and perhaps sometimes cyborgs) were lost in the storm via a announcement.
Radios would not work until the lost crewmen turned the radio jamming thing off.
Reasons this would be cool
A. Gives telescience an actual objective
FIND THE CREWMEN WE JUST LOST
B. Forces random crewmen to improvise and work together
"Hey why didn't you tell us you had a welder the entire time"
C. Could give some really cool stories
Basically every telescience round where someone is secretly a traitor and starts murdering the other explorers.
To save space the map wouldn't need to change, it could just be a set location that random crewmen teleport to.
