Rule #15---(for the ship's nerd) Know, acknowledge, resign yourself, and make absolute peace with the fact that you're singularly unattractive to members of the opposite sex. This will allow you to IMMEDIATELY recognize the signs of alien infiltration/possession when women suddenly start throwing themselves at you and begin attempting to seduce you(preparatory to using you as disposable breeding material, or killing you away from sight). AFTER you've managed to survive and escape, and verified the problem, you can see if you have advanced to lovin'-worthy, at which point you can capitalize on being a hero. If women still don't look at you, well, you're no worse off than before.

ROFLMAO!! I think these should be in the Rifts Dimensional area of the forum too!
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"
"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."
"As you will it, your Grace."

Rule #16---Don't expect The Company to have your best interests in mind. It's easier to get forgiveness than resurrection.

Rule # 17----When tearing holes in the space/time continiuum---Make sure you can CLOSE them...better yet, don't tear them open in the first place.

Rule #19---Travel light. Make sure all your most treasured personal possessions can fit in an easily toted knapsack or shoulderbag that can also conceal a powerful handgun, extra ammo, is tough enough to stop alien teeth, claws, acids, light projectile and energy weapon fire, is light enough to sling ahead of you, and small enough to conceal ahead of time on the ship's lifeboat or fast shuttle.

Rule #21---Insist on BRIGHT BRIGHT arc-lighting that allows you to see every nook and cranny of every room and corridor of your ship...you're on a spaceship of advanced technology, that should have operating room-like cleanliness and lighting...not a cave lit by candlelight,

Rule #27...Decontamination Procedures...Whenever returning to the ship from an alien environment, frisk the resident scientist for that sample of unknown mineral or alien life you KNOW he just couldn't resist taking, against orders and common sense...Frisk him at gun point if necessary with the stipulation that he gets pistol-whipped every time he complains with "It's in the name of science!" or "You barbarians, isn't this what we're REALLY out here for?"

Rule #28----Doesn't matter how good the food or booze you find on the abandoned ship is...Until you know what killed the previous crew...DON'T TOUCH IT. It's better to suffer another month of cold MREs than a night of alcoholic bliss and a mutating hangover the next morning...

Rule #29---Unless the company rep onsite is your ex-wife or immediate family member, you're better off locking him in a closet, or, in extreme situations, making sure he's first into the danger zone for a convenient 'accident'...If the company rep is advising you by remote, get a second opinion on what to do or feign 'communications problems'....

Rule # 30---If you have the genuis responsible for the derelict ship/station on hand, DON'T WAIT: have him immediately subdue and pump him, under drugs if possible, with threat of grievous bodily harm if necessary, for every detail of his work and any interesting personal tidbits of information like his psychological state at the time of constructing it, or any ulterior motives for sabotaging it...This will save you considerable grief later when those facts emerge later, too late for pre-emptive action.

Rule #34---Never, EVER, take shortcuts through uncharted, underpopulated regions of space...The amount of time you HOPE to save will be offset by the certainty of a mechanical failure far from help, a landing on a planet with hostile alien life forms, and indifferent response from authorities who KNOW what kind of danger lurks in such regions...

Rule #35---Make sure your escape pods are where they can do the most good...located immediately adjacent to the living quarters and/ore command deck...not at the end of some long corridor which will inevitably become a) flooded b) infested by carnivorous xenomorphs...requiring a run-the-gauntlet that will pare down the starting numbers of crewmembers to a bare minimum...

Rule # 36----Don't count on the aliens being idiots. When you least expect it, they learn how to open doors, cut electrical power, and get ahead of you.

LOL That one is great. I know several groups who could have used that one!
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"
"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."
"As you will it, your Grace."
HH....FIE

*Rule #37--Carry at least three backups to your flashlights and/or portable sensor devices...if your main one goes out, grab the back-up...If you find yourself going through sensor devices and lighting sources that don't work, don't wait until you've gone through all of them to start retreating...RETREAT NOW!

LOL That is another great rule! Just out of curiousity..........what inspired that one?

Usually, a good sign of imminent alien activity or supernatural presences is a) lights start failing, b) sensors/scanners start acting strangely, prompting somebody to start slapping their flashlight or fiddling with their sensor-instrument instead of bracing for trouble or pelting back to where there IS light and/or a clear line of sight...
