Ragg removes the pipe and then inspects the elevator. He barks out to alert the group to come to him and see what he has found.

The Goosh gets a head start and leads the group to the elevator, still acting like some sort of tour guide. "Good choice everyone! As you can see, this is some sort of movey up and down thingy. If you push the right buttons it will take you to new places!"

Abel moves out with Goosh the enthusiastic Dralasite tour guide and the others to see what the wolfman is barking about. He keeps his bow to hand and at the ready for anything green and/or mean that may pop out from behind a bulkhead and try to kill them.

Ragg waits to the side of the lift. Watching the group and waiting to see what they have decided.

Elvis knows that tour guides sometimes get cranky with stragglers. He follows the Goosh onto the platform.

The platform is big enough for 1 to stand at a time. Goosh never stated he would stand on it but as Elvis takes initiative he is quickly wooshed up and disappears into the ceiling.
He stands in the back of a cockpit type room, complete with a sturdy chair, a set of strange handles on each side, a console display that lights up as soon as he enters the room.
The walls are all domed glass and a rather large gun barrel is attached to the exterior.
The view currently faces to the aft of the ship where a hoard of walking corpses can be seen gathering around the ships cargo bay hatch.
To the left and front is the twisted metal of the roller coaster the ship crashed into and you can see the plant creature starting to brave the ship once again.

"The Goosh would love this!" Elvis says to himself.

If he can figure out how the thing works, he fires a shot at the zombies.

If he can't, he takes the lift back down to the rest of the group. "Goosh, you're going to love the game upstairs. It's the next level!"

Taking a few minutes, Elvis discovers the basic controls are fairly simple. Pulling the right handle towards him while pushing the left away swings the dome turret right ,where he sees a second identical turret mounted about 20' away, on the other side of the ship.
Pulling the left handles towards him and pushing the right away rotates the turret left.
Both handles back rotates it up, the opposite is down.
There is a button that isn't easy to reach on each handle, this was definitely not made for human hands, but pressing them emits a bright green flash of energy from the cannon on it's respective handles side.
The first shots in his experiment flies off into the sky. Then he lowers the turret toward the swarming mass of zombies below and grins...

Elvis takes aim and fires on the zombies. Pew, pew!

There's another game room just like this one on the other side of the ship, he sends to the rest of the group. Perhaps the Goosh wants to enter two-player mode?

The Goosh is alarmed when id hears the voice in id's head. But that alarmed state quickly dies down as it is replaced with renewed excitment about playing the video game id found! Goosh Goosh will rush to the other side of the ship, trying to find a similiar elevator to step into! Squeaky toy noises can be heard echoing down the hall as the Goosh heads towards the other side of the corridor. To say id sounds excited would be an understatement. ;)

There is indeed a second platform opposite the one Elvis used. The ecstatic dralasite is wooshed into a similar cockpit. Id makes Idself familiar with the controls and sees Elvis in a domed turret 20' to Ids left. and undoubtedly waves enthusiastically as Elvis blasts away at the corpses outside the ship, threatening to beat Goosh at the game.

The Goosh is raring to go! With the controls already being familiar, it does not take long for id to find the button to shoot lasers; but instead of firing at the slow zombies below, the Goosh aims the turret at the big plant thing, knowing that it is the final boss of this level! "We meet again Mr. Plant thingy! Prepare to eat laser!!!" From a distance, in the other turret cockpit, Elvis notices that the Goosh is shaking like crazy in his seat, like "a little kid driving a giant robot for the first time" kind of crazy! If it weren't for the dome encasing the dralasite, the Goosh would have probably flew off his seat by now!

Flipping Ids turret to the front of the ship, Goosh can make out 2 identical turrets at the front of the ship.
Luckily there is a safety mechanism in place to prevent the turrets from hitting the ship.

Abel rolls his eyes but has to laugh out loud when the Goosh goes running over to the other turret to join in two player mode. "Like a couple kids at the local arcade with a pocket full of domars..."

He smiles as he takes up station with his eyes and bow facing the far end of the hallway. "Soon as those two are done blasting that killer plant and them zombies, let's clear the rest of this frakking boat! I wanna see what other kind of goodies they got on board here!"

Ragg stares at Abel for a moment before sharping exhaling air from his nose in response and turning his head to look at the hallway as well. Sniffing the air for the scent of the Saathor to see if any are nearby.

The scent of Saathor is strong, but mostly decaying. Elvis, while preoccupied, senses no other aliens within his telepathy range.

Elvis and Goosh continue to "pew pew" at the corpses outside. Bodies fly in burning random pieces as they thin the herd.
Gooshes aim at killing the "Boss" causes lots of burning salad as well. One shot strikes the roller coaster causing the ship to shake violently momentarily, and the plant thing retreats over the other side of the twisted steel and the ship.
If Id were to move to the forward turret, id might have a better shot, but there are still plenty of corpses to hammer, should he remain.
