Yo, you! We gotta YEET to the engineering bay, like NOW! Life support's borked! 😱
ChocolatePhoenix
they both yeet themselves to the engineering bay
Alright, we're here. Look, this is what we're dealing with.
ChocolatePhoenix
oh dear lord what is that thing?
That, my friend, is a Class-3 Xenohazard containment pod.
ChocolatePhoenix
you realize class 3 xenohazards are supposed to be in class 4 pods right?
Yeah, I know. But this pod is all we got, so we're gonna have to make do with it. Now, let's see if we can't find any logs or schematics to help us figure out how to fix this thing.
ChocolatePhoenix
okay…scans everything and finds an achievement for winning hero mode oh and search for hero mode logs
Alright, let's see if this achievement can give us any clues. Examines the achievement closely Huh, looks like there's a hidden code buried in there.
ChocolatePhoenix
checks hero mode logs and finds the code i think thats it
Alright, let's plug this code into the console and see what it does.
ChocolatePhoenix
alright…enters the code
Woah! Look at that! The pod's starting to power up! We did it! We actually fixed it!
ChocolatePhoenix
sighs with relieve thank goodness checks time we also only have a few hours before the ship comes back
Alright, we need to get ready for when the ship comes back. Let's check the life support systems one more time to make sure everything is running smoothly.
ChocolatePhoenix
life support is fully functional now okay its good
Alright, we've done all we can for now. Let's take a moment to rest and gather our thoughts. We'll be ready when the ship arrives.
ChocolatePhoenix
yeah good idea sets up a bed so uh Alex how come you are the veteran engineer eh
Well, you see, I've been around for quite some time.
ChocolatePhoenix
I mean how long have you been an engineer
Oh, I've been fixing things for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a colony meant that I had to learn how to tinker and repair things from a young age.
ChocolatePhoenix
wow your basically a self taught engineer
Well, not entirely self-taught. There was this one mentor of mine, a grizzled old engineer named Jack. He took me under his wing and showed me the ropes.
ChocolatePhoenix
nice shame hes not here though
Yeah, it would've been great to have him here with us. But hey, we've got each other's backs, right? We'll make it through this together.
ChocolatePhoenix
nods
Alright, since we're stuck here for a while, might as well get to know each other better. What's your story, Phoenix?
ChocolatePhoenix
not much to tell really I was recruited by Laysuden which was absorbed by Raven Spyral and shortly after everything went south. Ive been surviving the Chaos directive for a bit over a year
Damn, that sounds rough. Surviving in a world like that takes a real tough cookie. But hey, you're still here, right? That means you're stronger than most.
