An often unforeseen risk of space
travel is the psychological state of the crew. An angry crew-mate
could become a very serious risk aboard the confines of a starship,
traveling through space far from civilization. Worse, a crew-member
might become entirely irrational and pose a threat to the survival of
the rest of the characters, fueled by pride so much that he'd prefer
to take down the entire ship if he can't have his way. Imagine
someone you've worked with in the past that caused problems at your
job, maybe even threatened your job or the success of the business
itself. Sometimes such people are power-hungry, are delusional about
their position or are angry about imagined offenses. It's possible
people you've worked with could be considered as megalomaniacs,
manic-depressives, or maybe are just downright insane—we've all
probably met someone in life that fits one of these descriptions.
Now, imagine being trapped on a starship with that person, in the
vast emptiness of space. Be very careful about choosing your crew!
