System Shock Wiki

The Athletics Sector on the Recreation Deck of the starship Von Braun was equipped with a gymnasium, a pool, and a basketball court.

When you go through the locker rooms at the start of the Athletics Sector, you'll come to a short hall with two doors. One of the doors is jammed, but the other opens up into the Basketball Court. In the center of the court is the first Rumbler that you'll encounter. As if this fight wasn't going to be tough enough, the main lights go out, leaving the room very dim. If you crouch and run, you can get into a small ventilation shaft on the right wall before the Rumbler can catch you.

Quotes

Tell your team they may bot be able to play. We were down in the basketball court when the damn power went out ... AGAIN! Irony is, we were ahead for the first time in weeks. Well, we won't be the lapdogs of the Von Braun any more.
The lights near the basketball court keep fritzing out ... I think the humidity from the pool next door is a real problem. If it happens when I'm not there, try resetting the circuit from the breaker by the pool. You think someone needs to call a tech?

Trivia

  • In the basketball court, you can get an Easter Egg by hitting the backboard with a Basketball. Since System Shock 2 doesn't really have a throwing interface, per se, this is hard to pull off, but it can be done. Dropping the basketball from the balcony above helps. When you successfully hit the backboard, you get a special email from an unexpected ally.
