Aliset Kōun's unique biology presented a few issues when she was given lodging onboard the YSS Tokyo.
While her biological needs are similar to most of the rest of the crew, some aspects are different enough that a minor software update was required. There was also a minor cultural concern about agorophobic insomnia that was exhibited during her time in flight and warrant officer schooling. She was able to adapt and graduate, but requested the absolute bare minimum of space for her quarters.
Aliset Soren's cabin is a slightly modified Ke-V7 "Ginga" Bomber living space, separated from its bomber, and given appropriate modifications for the personal comforts and utilities of Senti culture, including fake burial steel plating.
The plating was produced by chemical analysis of a piece of Aliset's necklace. From this, foil sheets were fabricated and atomically bonded to every metal surface in her cabin.
This is a small living space, with a single twin sized bed on one wall, one latrine at the foot of the bed, and a kitchenette on the opposite wall. This latrine is of the folding variety, wherein the toilet folds into the shower wall, with a small sink folding out by a gear mechanism when the toilet is flushed to the Nodal Liquid Conduit System. The sink can fold up separately.
The kitchenette on the left side of the room is arranged that the forward bulkhead contains a small refrigerator adjacent to a sink. A two foot by two foot counter top is immediately to the right of the sink, with the rest of the back wall space dominated by floor-to-ceiling cabinet-style closets for six personnel's worth of uniforms and hygiene supplies.
The kitchenette has a single food fabricator that has been reprogrammed for Senti tastes and is attached to the ship's Nodal Liquid Conduit System. Every ration is fabricated with appropriate plating and silverware. The fabricator is mounted above a counter top built over a set of cabinets. One cabinet contains a matter recycler, also tied into the Nodal Liquid Conduit System, and the other has a set of shelves for cleaning supplies.
Overhead cabinets on both sides of the room provide adequate storage for personal effects, and produce a small, cozy alcove for the single lower bunk.
Lighting on all downward facing surfaces is ample for small projects, reading, eating, and intricate detail work.
Several modifications were necessary to turn the minimum viable crew rest and ration area into a livable workspace.
The living space is pass-through connected to the YSS Tokyo's environmental systems through the existing Ginga Bomber ones, and additional connections to the Nodal Liquid Conduit System have been made to increase flow rate to deal with the increased load of Senti biological processes.
Power systems are routed through the reactor access panel in the floor. The Ginga's onboard reactor was removed and replaced with a circuit breaker box.
In the original bed space, there were three bunks, every two feet, starting at the floor. While not comfortable, this allowed three of the crew to be asleep at any given time.
In Aliset's version, however, the middle bed was lowered by one foot, and the bed above it converted into a shelf. Six inches of space below were used for the bed light. The space above was given sliding door steel cabinets, with a six inch deep shelf.
The space below the bed was left open, to store Boots and shoes.
No major changes were made, aside the addition of a plating rack with a dinner ware set, cutting boards, and basic cooking utensiles. A drawer was installed below the counter and above the cabinets, to store knives, silverware, and oddities. A small Coffee maker was built into the cabinet wall, capable of producing a cup of tea, Coffee, or hot chocolate on demand. Three mugs on hooks are mounted above it for ease of access.
In the original version, six ceiling height wall lockers filled the space between the kitchenette and the rear wall.
Aliset's version has two cabinet style closets, one with a dresser inside. The other outfitted as a pantry and book shelves, with a very small combined washer and dryer inside. 1)
The original version did not have a door, so much as a bulkhead. In order to maintain security and privacy in this cabin, a locking door was installed, with some modification to the bulkhead port.
Living space dimensions 4 meters by 2.5 meters by 1.9 meters. Center hall space 1.25 meters by 3.5 meters by 1.9 meters.
