Everyone chill! Just a hiccup in the system, yeah? We got this!
all the alarms go off, showing that the system is truly down Zara we have a real problem here…
Alright, alright, no need to shout it from the rooftops. rolls her eyes Let's see what we're dealing with here. starts frantically typing on the console Come on, Sercons, don't fail me now!
I’m not… it’s the actual ship! taps fingers on his chair anxiously as alarms continue to go off throughout the ship
Well, someone's a ray of sunshine this morning. snickers Alright, let's think. If the ship's systems are down, we need to find a way to reboot or something. pauses, thinking Okay, Sercons, do you have any backup protocols we can initiate?
nods his head yes as he continues tapping his fingers anxiously
Good, good. Backup protocols it is. continues typing furiously on the console Just hold tight, Sercons, I'm gonna get us out of this mess. mumbles under her breath Assuming your silly ship doesn't totally spontaneously combust first.
the ship begins having sparks fly across the walls, and sparks begin raining down from the ceiling as alarms go off in one room after another hold tight… we might need a fire extinguisher soon…
looks up from the console, wide-eyed Oh shit, sparks? Rain? Fire extinguisher? This ship is really trying to turn into a damn fireworks display, huh?
Now would also be the time to mention there are two other people on board, correct?
Oh, trust me, Captain Obvious, we've got ourselves a regular party up in here! smirks
those idiots better get to safety…
fixing this godforsaken ship. types furiously on the console, muttering under her breath Come on, you stubborn piece of—
after several minutes of hard work the engine finally fixes itself Engine, we’re back online!
lets out a relieved sigh Oh, thank the tech gods! Finally, some good news. leans back in her chair, stretching her arms above her head Now let's see if we can get these damn alarms to stop blaring in our ears. starts fiddling with the alarm settings on the console There we go, silence! Ahhh, that's much better. smiles contentedly All right, Sercons, what's our next move?
Next move is getting those two idiots out of their quarters so they don’t burn to death
<As Zara and Sercons make their way through the ship to alert the other two crew members, a massive explosion rocks the vessel, knocking them both off their feet and leaving them injured and trapped in a damaged section of the ship.>
struggling to sit up, grimacing in pain Shit, that hurt! Are you alright, Zara?
winces, clutching her side Yeah, just a few scratches. Nothing I can't handle. pushes herself up, determined But damn, that explosion was something else!
I swear… I’m going to throw the two idiots who triggered all of this to their deaths personally
grits her teeth, anger flashing in her eyes You know what, Sercons? They deserve it! Those dimwits should have known better than to tamper with the ship's systems. pulls out her comms device
Wait for me! struggles to his feet, grabbing his own comms device
swiftly moves through the damaged section of the ship, checking for any signs of life Damn it, where are they?
realizing that they were likely trapped in an airlock due to the damage caused by the explosion, the pair quickly moved towards the last known location of said airlocks There! points at a closed airlock door in the distance That's probably where they are! We have to hurry!
runs towards the airlock, trying to open the door Come on, come on! Open up, you stubborn piece of metal!
