Shipwrecked
- On Titanic VII, in system en route to Kegena-Prime. Awakened by “asteroid strike”; bridge destroyed, tumbling, power failing, on a collision course w/ Kegena-Prime with ~3-4 hours until re-entry
- Total loss of power, including artificial gravity; free-fall hits Sam the wrong way, and he loses his lunch—fortunately, got his helmet off first
- Team splits up, Ella, Sam & Abe heading for the bridge to find it missing, and Haank & Buck heading for engineering. Haank knocks on the sealed door to engineering, and is answered by a knock from inside
- Due to the structural damage foreward of their position, rather than unseal engineering, it was decided to space-walk ’round to the port airlock and enter from there—everyone followed, without incident
- Met Marcus in engineering, started working on getting (1) power, (2) thrusters; once available, Buck rigged his portable terminal to operate the helm, and Sam stabilized the ship and corrected the course enough to allow an orderly evacuation—after some analysis, it was decided that contragrav was too dodgy to attempt to land the hulk
- After gathering up their personal gear, the team raided the ship’s locker, medbay, the nonfunctional air/raft, and whatever else wasn’t nailed down (or ejected by the crash), and stuffed everything possible into the lifeboat; Sam unsuccessfully tried to break into the arms locker
- Titanic VII abandoned; lifeboat landed dirtside in parts unknown, in open (frozen) ocean
- Observed the final moments of the Titanic VII as it augered in some miles distant; the smoke from the crash disappeared shortly thereafter, believed to indicate that the wreck had sunk
