[PSA] Don't walk into random portals

If it's a hand teleporter portal, there's a flat chance every time you go through it that you'll end up in space with missing limbs. Or trapped in a wall suffocating to death.

And teleporter destinations aren't always safe to begin with. Like I mentioned, you really have no idea what the atmosphere is like on the other side, if there's hostile critters nearby, or other various hazards.

If you see a portal in a hallway and you don't know where it leads - don't step through it. Especially on main.

It's simple advice. And also a proclamation that I'm never going to share a locker room with the station jocks.

Nerds are by far the more sensible and fun to be around, even when they're working for the Syndicate. 

Have you played every single role on the station and enjoyed it just as much as the others? Don't you have a favorite and least favorite role you like to play?

Alas, since I can't say a single thing here without an old fogey arriving to contradict me - here are some examples of what I'm talking about. Note that this is all from intentional use:
  • DESTINATION: Tech Outpost -> RESULT: In space with a missing arm, 2 Buzzsaw drones and a Phaser drone to keep me company.
  • DESTINATION: Space Shack -> RESULT: Trapped in a space between the asteroid tiles outside while bleeding heavily. No tools, so I suffocated with no hope of retrieval.
  • DESTINATION: Cargo -> RESULT: In Cargo Lobby, missing a leg and in line behind 2 Security gunbots that must have been there making supply requests. They requested that I die.
  • DESTINATION: Cargo -> RESULT: In Cargo, except the tracking beacon had been moved resulting in my appearance on the mass driver. Flew through space for a VERY long time.
  • DESTINATION: Bridge -> RESULT: In Brig, because it's the second "B" in the list. Attempted to leave and got arrested for hacking the door. Strip-searched and tossed back in there.
  • DESTINATION: Robotics -> RESULT: Upon teleport, entire department was consumed by a fireball killing several people. Investigation revealed that it had been doused in welding fuel and my teleport somehow set it off. 
  • DESTINATION: AI Upload Foyer -> RESULT: In the AI core with a missing limb, shot to shit by the turrets immediately and arrested for breaking in. 

Now just imagine how much more dangerous it is if you have no idea where you'll end up.
