Jermcord Lore

Overview
Over the course of its existence, Jermcord has accumulated small tidbits of fictional lore regarding its operations and facilities, in the context of it being a gigantic spacecraft. This idea was originally spawned from this tweet made by Jerm. Ever since, this idea has been expanded upon by several members of Jermcord, though the canonical merit of this expanded lore has not been commented upon by Jerm as far as this writer is aware. As such, expect there to be a great disparity between what is and is not confirmed to be canon.

The Ship Exterior
The exterior of the SS Jermcord is literally just a fucking box with a window and a gun on top of it, so there isn't much to be elaborated upon besides it's size. By observing images from the interior of the ship it can be safely inferred that the ship is very large in size, like the size of two malls probably. It's big as shit, yo.



The Ship Interior/#general
The interior of the SS Jermcord consists of areas dedicated to specific channels in Jermcord. The general chat, for instance, is depicted as a sprawling open commons area, of which other smaller channels may reside in.



The Staff Room
The staff room is the most detailed depiction of canonical SS Jermcord areas. Minor influences of its inhabitants can be found throughout the room. This along with the dorm rooms mentioned in the provided image suggest that the major Jermcord staff live day-to-day in a sort of communal living space.

As of recent events, the staff room has been much less active.

Ship Redesign
A revamped version of the SS Jermcord's exterior has been brought forward, whether or not it shall replace the current design remains to be seen.

The Jermcord Midnight Shift
The Jermcord Midnight Shift is a radio show co-hosted by Jermcord members Nagasaki is karkalicous, Sunny D, and most recently Pure Imaginator. It ranges from discussion regarding events around the spacecraft, exclusive interviews, and general bumfuckery.

The Engine Room
A minor rumor spread about the many regions of the SS Jermcord. It is said that members who go against the will of Staff are taken in their sleep. Nagasaki is the only one who has ever returned. What is behind those blast doors? The brig? A slave labor operation? Jamie's CBT room? We're not even sure if it exists.

Cryogenics
Deep within the bowels of the ship, there is rumored to be a vast system of narrow and sterile hallways, their sides lined with mysterious cryogenic machinery. This machinery is said to house the aging and scarcely-seen "lurking" crew of the SS Jermcord: instead of returning to the normal crew quarters, they lie in their sub-zero pods, suspended in a state between life and death for extended time periods. The halls are silent enough for a wanderer to hear their own heartbeat, save for the incredibly miniscule and faint sounds of heart monitors.

When a "lurker" dies - usually in silence - the bodies are jettisoned by airlock. In light of the difficulty and apathy towards care for the hibernating crew, there have been talks of mass jettisoning those who have not responded to a status query for an extended time, but this notion has been turned down in every instance.

Haydie (Canon)
Haydie is a character created by Jerm and the canonical Assistant to the Captain aboard the ship. She is an undead creature with a scarecrow-like head stitched to a corpse. Haydie handles many of the ship's major logistics and operations. She's also canonically trans :)
