The Ship's Locker Jeff Zeitlin 12 Oct 2020 12:53 UTC

Back in 2008, I ran a mini-contest for the Ship's Locker. It ended up on a
page whose introduction ran as follows:

>Ship's Locker

>The Ship's Locker is a part of every starship in every version of
>Traveller, but it's never quite been defined exactly what it is or why.

>We define it as follows:

>The Ship's Locker is the storage area that just ... collects stuff. Stuff
>that a crew member thinks might be useful. Someday. Maybe. Stuff that
>nobody can think of a use for, but which can't be totally useless. Stuff
>that nobody quite remembers what they were thinking when they bought it.
>Stuff that used to be useful, but is broken now, and was just tossed in the
>Locker until someone remembers to clean the Locker out and toss out all
>that junk. Stuff.

>Note: The really, definitely useful stuff that's kept properly stocked for
>repairs and maintenance is kept in other lockers - the engineering locker,
>the avionics locker, the EVA locker, the bridge locker, and so on. Those
>lockers might collect stuff, too, but not as much, and not nearly as
>eclectic a collection.  The Ship's Locker is for all the rest of the stuff.

Given that, I'm going to paraphrase a credit-card ad that's running in the
US:

  "What's in _your_ locker?"
