So, we were trying the new Clarion map and a few folks ended up in space.
I managed to save Julian, going out to get a pod and bring them in.
Julian mentioned that the body of Shawn Michael, the engineer kept floating by periodically. Okay, we wait and go after it. After some shenanigans trying to wrangle a body into a crate IN SPACE™, the body ends up going by at nigh supersonic speeds.
No biggie, we think. We can just move the pod a little and grab him as he goes by. I scoot the pod forward just a smidge and wait.
Shawn comes by and - SPLAT. The collision was alarmingly violent, with gibs going in all directions, even diagonally. A lung, going lobe over lobe, beans Julian over the head and sending him into crit. Whoops. Fortunately, we manage to make it back, stunned and trying not to giggle at the surreality of a supersonic engineer corpse.
We also end up hearing later in the round that someone was hit by a flying eye, someone else a flying leg.
And that is how a dead engineer haunted space.
