The room is about 150 feet high. Even for a Noghri it would be damn near impossible to throw a knife that far straight up in the air, especially with any accuracy. Plus, BB is correct--background may have some effect on your abilities, but not enough to extend beyond those of your template.
Both cameras blow up.
Xornon, the computer terminal isn't cooperating with you very well. Noticing that you need some assistence, Xerdon comes over, fidles with it for a little bit, and brings up a main menu for you:
Security Mechanism Control
Surveilence Cameras
Ship Schematics
Power Conduit Regulator
Good idea cutting the power, though it would be useful to look at all four of those things...
Anyways... I assume you want to upload it into a datapad or something... Heh.. I should probably draw the ship for you... I'll try to do it on paintshop or photoshop but if it's not cooperating with me I'll just describe it to you.
Presumably it means that any motion sensors are off as well, though it is doubtful that every security function in the ship could be accessed from a single terminal. So there could be some type of default security feature that can only be accessed from a particular terminal in the bridge. Just be careful and you should be fine.
The room goes pitch black when you cut the power. Fortunately, Jerec has quite a collection of things stored in his utility belt, one of which is a lot of little tiny flashlights. They can be strapped to your guns or your wrists, whichever you prefer.
