Location: Module E - Computer Room 
This is the main computer of the platform. 
As well as handling many of the important 
systems directly, it commands many 
programs in other computers. It has the 
following programs: 

J/MN/CL; Computer Lockout (3) 
Standard lockout program (see Starship 
Programs - Pull-out Sheet III). The Matrix 
infection means that it will still respond to 
its original password if this is used from 
terminal Term-1, but not from any other 
source. 

J/MN/CS; Computer Security (3) 
Standard security program. The Matrix 
prevents it from responding to its original 
password. 

J/MN/BE; Bureaucracy (3) 
This co-ordinates many of the program- 
med functions of the platform. Its in- 
fection by the Matrix is responsible for 
many of the hazards which the characters 
experience. Its influences on the life- 
support systems are described in Life- 
Support System - page 9. 

J/MN/AL; Alarm (3) 
Receives status data from all the pro- 
grammed systems on the platform. 

J/MN/IS; Installation Security (3) 
Controls the platform's defenses. The 
Matrix infection means that this program 
will automatically regard the characters 
as intruders and direct the platform's 
security devices (security doors and auto- 
mated weapons turrets) against them. 

J/MN/LS; Life-Support (1) 
Main life-support program, controlling 
life-support system #1. Most of the 
malfunctions caused by the Matrix are 
described in Life-Support System - page 
9. In addition, this program will cause 
malfunctions in the showers, WCs and 
food dispensers. 

J/GL; General System Computer (1) 

Location: Module E - Computer Room 
This computer handles the platform's 
library, computer records, and enter- 
tainment. Its programs are: 

J/GL/CN; Communication (1) 
Controls intercom and radio communi- 
cation, provides entertainment and per- 
 

J/GL/IF; Information Storage (2) 
The platform's library and records sys- 
tem. While it is infected by the Matrix it 
will not display its file index. Since 
information can only be recalled from a 
file if its name is known, this malfunction 
will effectively prevent the characters 
from using the program. 

J/LS; Life-Support Computer (1) 

Location: Module E - Life-support 
This controls the back-up life-support 
system. Its programs are: 

J/LS/CS; Computer Security (2) 
Standard security program. The Matrix 
prevents it from responding to its original 
password. 

J/LS/LS; Life-Support (1) 
Back-up life support program controlling 
life-support system #2. Most of the 
malfunctions caused by the Matrix are 
described in Life-Support System - page 
9. In addition, this program will cause 
malfunctions in the showers, WCs and 
food dispensers. 

J/CR; Chemical Refining/Platform 
Stabilizing Computer (3) 

Location: Module - E, Reactor Room 
This computer handles two very complex 
functions; operating the still which ex- 
tracts bio-chemicals from Venturi's atmo- 
sphere, and controlling and balancing the 
buoyancy of Jetsom so as to keep it level. 
It will not be affected by the Matrix. Its 
programs are as follows: 

J/CR/CS; Computer Security (2) 
Standard security program. It will respond 
to its original password. 

J/CR/AN; Analysis (3) 
This program assimilates data from the 
platform's sensors (regarding its orien- 
tation, the external conditions and so on) 
and calculates the adjustments necessary 
to maintain the stability of the platform 
and the bio-chemical extraction process. 
 

J/CR/PR; Processing (4) 
This controls the distillation column 
which performs the primary stages in 
extracting bio-chemicals from Venturi's 
atmosphere. 

J/MT; Maintenance Computer (2) 

Location: Module C - Maintenance Room 
This computer handles the maintenance 
(routine and emergency) of the platform. 
Its programs are as follows: 

J/MT/CD; Computer Security (2) 
Standard security program. the Matrix 
prevents it from responding to its original 
password. 

J/MT/DC; Damage Control (3) 
Damage control program modified from 
the normal starship version to co-ordinate 
emergency repairs to Jetsom. It operates 
through the J/MT/MT (maintenance) pro- 
gram. The infection by the Matrix has not 
affected this program at all. 

J/MT/MT; Maintenance (1) 
This is a standard maintenance program 
which ensures the day-to-day upkeep of 
the platform. The infection of this program 
by the Matrix means that it will not take 
action to correct any faults which may 
occur. 

J/MT/RM; Robot Management (4) 
This sends commands to the external, 
general and reactor maintenance robots. 
Since it became infected by the Matrix, 
there is a 30% chance that any orders 
which the characters give to these robots 
through this program will be changed (the 
referee must decide how) so as to make 
the robot do something else. Note that 
while the external and general main- 
tenance robots are themselves affected 
by the Matrix, they will ignore commands 
from this program.
