Limited Oxygen Remaining

[Hunter568]

(Okay, you can tell me if I mess something up. As for the no sound thing, oh well. It's a small inaccuracy)

"Alright, great. I laid out everything salvageable from the rover. We should be able to retrofit the Zephyrs now, right?" Hunter asked.

[Nova Starpaws]

(How can I get a job in space propulsion, if I don't know a basic concept?)

"Yeah. We just need to upload the blueprints to the mech and const-- [Beacon Reactivated. Status: Inactive] "What? Geezus. Orion's glitching."

[Hunter568]

(Well, you obviously know it. You just forgot about it for a sec.)

Hunter looked up as if he could find the source of the mechanical voice. "I guess it's to be expected when the ship is in so many pieces," he said grimly. At least it suggested that there was still some life left in the massive ship.

[Nova Starpaws]

*Looks at the ring of debrie the ship caused* I wouldn't call it pieces. More like individual compon- [Scanner Activated. Doing Ship Scan] "What ship?" he said while rolling his eyes and getting the mech ready.

(If we plan it right, this could become a comedy)

[Hunter568]

(lol, not opposed to that)

"Maybe it could turn up something useful?" Hunter said doubtfully. "I suppose it can't hurt, at least."

He moved over to the mech as well. "Do you need me to get anything else for those plans, or do you have everything you need here?" he asked.

[Nova Starpaws]

[Error Located-] "You don't say?" [-We are currently 12 thousand lightyears off course] Jax just stared at the hull of the ship. "Well, now we know how far away help is. Guess it is useful. Too bad. I thought the hull was destoyed in a million parts. Doesn't that make life easier, huh Hunter?" He walked over to the Zephr and marked the locations for the thrusters.

[Hunter568]

Hunter groaned. They were worse off than he'd thought.

"12 thousand lightyears away from the normal route. What the hell happened while we were in cryo?" he asked incredulously. "I guess we're really on our own out here."

[Nova Starpaws]

"We aren't alone. We have a glitched supercarrier A.I." Jax said, cackling to himself. He felt the air pressurizing systems turned on. He opened his visor, breathing in the air. "I just realized. The hangar has construction arms. I can use that to get the thrusters on." [Planet Found. Searching databases]

[Hunter568]

"Wait, did you hear that? It said it found a nearby planet," Hunter said, listening for the AI's voice. If it wasn't just spewing glitched nonsense, that could be an important development. They might have a planet they could conceivably get down to.

[Nova Starpaws]

"Of course it did. We're orbiting it." Jax turned on the construction arms and got the thrusters built up.

[Hunter568]

"I didn't realize we'd moved into orbit. I thought we were stranded in an asteroid belt," Hunter said, glad to hear the development.

He moved out of the way of the construction arms, leaving them clear space to move the thrusters onto the Zephyrs.

[Nova Starpaws]

"We were. We took the asteroid belt with us. You know. Supermassive ship and all. We can eclipse the sun." The arms finished and he opened the hangar door, deploying the Zephr.

[Hunter568]

Hunter shuddered slightly. "We've gotta be careful. If any of the debris falls to the surface, it's big enough to cause some serious craters."

[Nova Starpaws]

(Like an ember in the wood, a phoenix in the flames, I am reborn. Until 3:00)

"Yeah, craters. At least everything seems to be in a stable orbit. We've got that working for us." [Port thruster has exited the orbiting speed] "Why do I say anything?"

[Hunter568]

Hunter looked around anxiously. "Assuming that's not just a malfunction of the system, we should find a secure spot and brace ourselves for impact," he warned.

Just as he finished speaking, the voice came back. [Starboard thruster has exited orbital speed.] The entire ship shuddered around them.
