Limited Oxygen Remaining

[Nova Starpaws]

This is an rp being done with me and Hunter568. We might add other people.




Post Merge: January 19, 2019, 10:06:51 AMJax was rapidly blinking, trying to clear the cyrodust out of his eyes. He felt around for the release on the cyropod when he heard a slightly feminine voice say [Do not pull the release lever. Attempting to pressurize area] Nova felt around the pod, and noticed that it was suprisingly large and had a Universal Space Suit. He quickly put it on and prepared to exit the cyropod.

[Hunter568]

Hunter rose slowly, a throbbing pain in his head. He felt a large, raised bump on the back of his head. Likely he'd been hit with some kind of falling debris. Choking on dust, he tried to recall what had happened. Flashing warning lights and alarms blared all around him, making it hard to think.

He found one of the ship's space suits inside his pod and quickly put it on. Clearly, something had gone wrong with the ship. He decided he should head outside to assess the damage. He stepped to the pod's airlock doors and prepared to open them.

[Nova Starpaws]

[Incoming asteroid detected] said the ship wide speakers. [Attempting Evasive Maneuvers]
Jax opened the pod door, revealing empty space. He used the jet thrusters to turn around. "Good luck with that Orion. You're in about sixteen hundred pieces." Jax started to transverse the area, looking for another cyropod, when he spotted one that had the Cryopod Occupied symbol lit up, and headed towards it.

[Hunter568]

Hunter hit the button to open and equalize the airlock, then stepped in. Finally, the pod's outer doors were opened and he stepped out into the dark void of open space, moving with the aid of the jetpack thrusters. To his horror, the Orion looked to be completely shredded. It seemed almost completely unsalvageable.

He looked around for other signs of life, and noticed a figure jetting towards him. He held his hand up and waved. "Thank god I'm not alone here," he sighed to himself with relief.

[Nova Starpaws]

(This can be used for ooc: (blahblahblah) because I didn't bother to make ooc)

Jax saw the figure, confused at who the were. He then looked at the Orion, the Supermassive vessel that carried them lightyears and sighed. He attempted to open comms with the figure. "Hello? Are the comms working?"

[Hunter568]

The comms in Hunter's suit crackled to life, and a voice that he assumed was coming from the figure in front of him spoke.

"Yeah! They're working," he responded happily, grateful that they had a way to talk to eachother.. "God, what happened to the ship while I was out? She looks like a real mess," he inquired.

[Nova Starpaws]

"I don't know. I just got out of Cyro too. Looks like we're in an asteroid field." He turned on his suits scanner and found high traces of uranium, iron, gold, and nickel. "Plenty of resources nearby. *mumbles* Most of it from the ship" He turned to a control panel and went to see if any systems were operational.

[Hunter568]

Hunter looked around them at the asteroid belt. Maybe they'd be able to use some of the resources in them to help fix the ship?

He looked back at the Orion dubiously. It'd be a miracle of they got it running again. "Is there any way we can send a distress beacon out? Maybe that part of the ship still works," he said hopefully.

[Nova Starpaws]

The control panel started to spark, and they heard the distant grinding of metal. "Uhm. Is that the hangar bay door?" he hurried to find out if that was true. There are valuable ships in there. "Yes!!! It is the hangar door. And camera visuals say it's in one piece. It can be pressurized. None of the ships in this hangar are fitted for vacuum use, but we can retrofit them with thrusters."

[Hunter568]

Hunter felt a spark of hope at that thought. Maybe they had a good chance of getting out of here after all. "Where do we get the thrusters? Could we salvage some from the Orion itself?" he asked.

[Nova Starpaws]

"I don't think we want to pull on the throttle, and get killed by hitting 12 thousang g's in half a second. The Orion thrusters are too large, and the vehicles we could put the Orion thrusters on are destroyed."  He floated through the hangar door and saw three Zephr style Mining Vessels, and a multi purpose platform rover. "The rover we can dismantle. Once we get their engines switched to hydrogen, the Zephr's can mine by themselves. Much of the Orion is automated."

[Hunter568]

"Alright, that's a start. We float them over to some of these asteroids and let them mine away for us," Hunter said. He walked over to the platform rover. "I guess we get started on stripping this for parts," he said, searching for a tool bin somewhere in the hangar.

[Nova Starpaws]

Jax thought about the floating them over idea. "They aren't optimized for space use, but we could use the Orion's Precision Grav Gen to maneuver the miners." He looked at Hunter searching for a toolbin. Got his attention and pointed toward the (de)construction mech. Than got to work finding the datachip for the hydrogen thruster blue prints.

[Hunter568]

Hunter stepped into the mech and powered it on. "Alright, sounds like a plan," he said, steering the mech over to the platform rover and getting to work. The mech quickly dissassembled the small rover and laid the salvaged parts out neatly on the floor for future use.

Hunter powered down the mech and stepped back out into the hangar. He looked around for Jax.

[Nova Starpaws]

(We need to talk about scale of objects sometime)

"Ello. I got the thruster plans." *looks at little robot he dismantled to get the datachip and kicks it under a table* "Effortless." He went to the hangar door control and closed the doors. (I just realized, we shouldn't of been able to hear the hangar door. No air = no sound waves)
