Just saying, I'm keeping a firm grip on my seat for when the cargo hatch opens up and sucks the sheetmetal, plasma cannon, hyperdrive, Org, starfighter wing, and crate of medical supplies out of the ship. It'll probably suck Emperor out too, since he's going to hit Org.

Well, I wasn't gonna be that harsh, but... I'll just leave it up to the random number god(s).

Turn 9!

I'll try to call one of those mining colonies using the comm system to inquire on the nature of their mining efforts, like what they are drilling for and such.

| You attempt to make contact with the mining outposts, but it seems the debris field is interfering with the comm-waves.

I'll head down to the dock, and hire myself out for ship repair again.

I look for articles with titles like "How To Survive Hyperspace" and "How to Avoid Getting Everyone on Your Ship Killed When You Try to Enter Hyperspace, and Look Cool at the Same Time."

|You punch in your search and amazingly locate both "How To Survive Hyperspace" and "How to Avoid Getting Everyone on Your Ship Killed When You Try to Enter Hyperspace, and Look Cool at the Same Time"! You read both, learning the basics of what it's like in Hyperspace. Hyperspace you find out, is a dimension attached to our own, only space is compressed. The odd thing about this is objects that enter Hyperspace are not compressed and remain the same size, thus allowing access to distance stars. You also learn that even if a successful jump is made, if the ship's shields are not at maximum there is a risk of what is known as "Hyperspacial Collision" aka traveling through clouds of microscopic dust particles at what should be speeds faster than light (only your going below the speed of light according to realspace). The results are not pretty. One final note you read is that a ship must be at the edge of a star system to make a jump. You continue searching but you stumble upon corrupted data! The databank shuts down and is in the process of rebooting. You are unsure how long that will take.

Ill try getting valuable components from the wing, and the Hyperdrive.

| You manage to strip the last of the components from the wing section. While they don't look very useful, you realize you might be able to get some credits for them. You then turn your attention to the Class II Hyperdrive. | You try and pry the thing open and manage to snap a wire that was seemingly powering the containment shell.

Kradellian 307 Freighter

Rooms

Control Room Occupants: inaluct, Doc, Cpt. Kayell, Katsuun

Mess Hall / Lounge Occupants:
This room contains a few dirty tables and chairs throughout. To the mid-left is a basic cooking unit and storage boxes along with a water tank that reads (174/200).

Crew Quarters Occupants:

Practically empty save for a few lockers and cots leaned up against the walls. Medical Apparatus has been set up here.

Ladder between Upper and Lower Levels
Exit Hatch

Maintenance Access
Small crawl spaces that allow access to power relays and other systems.
 
Storage Room / Cargo Hatch Occupants: Org
The largest room of the ship and also the most empty. There is nothing here save for a large hatch in the floor which is remotely controlled.

Engine Room 
Here are housed the two chemical turbine engines that propel the ship. The excess heat generated helps power the ship's systems. It is quite warm in here.

Agentar Docking Bays Occupants: Frelock, mechanics, docked ships
The docking bays at Agentar are pretty good quality considering the planet's low population. It has room to house and service a few dozen starships and sees moderate traffic. Various mechanics scurry around from ship to ship, refueling and performing maintenance.

A Parts Shop, Agentar, Durgen Occupants: Shopkeep
This small building has been stuffed with all sorts of random components. The shopkeep is in and walks about the ailse of parts, tagging and dusting.

Debris Field
A small debris field that seems to be the untouched remnants of a battle in the distant past. There are various starcruiser parts floating around, most seem to be heavily damaged or melted.

In Orbit Around Durgen
The only thing visible aside from the deeps of space and the planet itself is Durgen's moon, Giren. The moon seems to be mostly barren but it seems to have a thin, pinkish colored atmosphere. From orbit the night side of Durgen is visible. The only features visible are the lights from a few settlements.

I cautiously leave by the door the first zealot entered by.

Turn 8.

First I ask Kat for a steak.
Ill dismantle the wing to get valuable parts

You ask Katsuun for a steak to eat. He (I'm assuming) glady gives one for you to eat. Yum. You then head back to the storage room and try to get anything valuable off the wing section. | You manage to remove a few pieces of sheet metal from the wing. They appear to be made of tritanium and in fairly bad condition. You are now left with a wing section frame. Upon closer inspection you realize there are also electronic components inside.

I try to find a bar to grab a (<10cr) bite to eat, whilst listening for rumors and other useful information.

| Apparently, what Durgenians lack in junkyards, they make up for in pubs. You locate a paticular place, "The Whelm's Gut", and enter. The prices here seem reasonable and you purchase a Dryrdbeast Steak and some watered-down ale for 8 credits. You are no longer hungry or thirsty. | You don't hear much, mostly talk about the weather and growing conditions.

I'll give anyone who asks a steak. Meanwhile, I'll try to scan the moon Giren from where we are.

proceeded to enumerate

By the way, thanks for the quick updates.  It makes the game far more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, this was mostly due to the fact that this is my week off school. Starting Monday I doubt I will be able to get more than 1 turn off a day.

I also realized a mistake I made in showing basic to intermediate skills as x/6 when it should be x/4.

Anyways Turn 7.

I obviously need to learn more about controlling downward slashes. I go to the databank and look for information on technique relating to downward swings.

You search the databank for sword related entries. | While you don't find anything about downward slashes, you do find a few old hyperspace jump plots and study them for awhile. You feel like you have a firmer grasp of how to accurately plot a jump.

You try to find some food but you can't find any that is cooked. You decide that later you should perhaps ask Katsuun for some steak. For now though you drink 6 units of water from the tank. It now reads (168/200).
