YSS BACC: Mikael's Cabin

Mikael Harris's cabin on the YSS Battle Of Ayenee Capital City is Deck 45, Cabin 4503, a custom commission, patterned after traditional architecture found in both Nepleslian Culture and Yamataian Culture.

In YE 44, Mikael Harris was assigned Cabin 4503 on Deck 45 of the YSS Battle Of Ayenee Capital City, and was given permission to [personalize the cabin]. As the fleet was heading out to the great unknown, it was unknown to him when (or if) he was to return to Yamataian space again. So he opted the style of the cabin to be akin to one of his “safe houses” on Yamatai. Some habits just never die.

The interior of Mikael's cabin can be described as spartan or militaristic at best. The interior walls and furnishings have an olive drab (#A0906E) and black (#1c1b20) theme that gives off a Rikugun feel. Even the flooring matches it with the tatami being olive.

When entering the cabin, individuals are greeted to a footwear storage cabin to the left and a one step stair going up onto a ondol style heating system under tatami matting made of Kinugoshi-ko. The two man bed has been replaced with simple Yamataian style bedding on the floor. But that is where the Yamataian influences end within the cabin.

Above Mikael's bedding are several wall attached and wide storage units (supported by legs at the corners) for clothing and other items. On top of them is a display case for a black leather bomber jacket which has the patches of all of his previous assignments and commands. Being too small for him, it also acts as the storage unit for his medals and ribbons.

Facing into the main doorway's wall is a desk Mikael uses for work as he does not have an office. It is obviously positioned in such a way that allows him to see the entrance of the cabin at all times. A volumetric display and keyboard system is present on the desk, but it is largely a ruse for those unfamiliar with his augmentations.

The right side wall of the cabin is largely dominated with slim storage compartments for the storage of his uniforms that can't be folded and other items. Though in the center is a large volumetric projector as well as a bladed weapon display of a katana, nagamaki, and several Nepleslian combat knives.

The far side wall (and much of the left side) is covered in within regulations Nepleslian posters of a group named “Still Alive”, well-endowed but fully covered Lianjia women doing martial arts, and well-dressed Nepleslian “Men of Mystery” between the door to the bathroom and a new door to the cabin's new compartment.

A new addition designed by Mikael, the door and walls of the compartment is made of Osmiridium. The interior is kept to the same conditions as Standard Star Army Armory when closed, cool and static free.

For the moments he does not have permission to store personal firearms within it, so the many mounting points of various shapes are left empty. But the compartment has a local wifi that transmits what weapons he does own and where they would be mounted for those with wireless abilities and able to see with augmented reality to see them. Many of the designs are custom designs created by Mikael.

On the far wall is a workbench with gunsmithing tools to the left side. Mikael uses it to diagnose and maintain weapons, equipment, service his augmentations, and for his personal invention projects.

In the right corner of the compartment is an Osmiridium protected server racks for Mikael's personal uses. Connected to his internal network, its primary usage is for automation services within his cabin, storage of data, and as a backup in the unlikely case MEGAMI goes down.

Due to making space for the gun closet, the bathroom for Mikael's Cabin is significantly smaller (a third of the original space) than the standard Officer Cabin. The space has been converted into a “wet bathroom” where the shower head is opposite of the door next to the toilet. A small sink and mirror is on the opposite side, next to the sliding door.
