[4] The engineers spend a few hours repairing the mounts and getting the weapons integrated, then make their way back into the safety of the ship. [-20 Supplies; +2 Superstructure, +6 Hull, +8 Armor] Weiss and his partner Johann at the sensor station work together to plot a course for the nearest nebula, a low-density formation thats little more than a light year in length. The drive warms and the thrusters flare to life, sending the ship rocketing towards its new destination.
The ship glides silently through space, passing through the warm light emanating from the stars within the nebulae. You spot a few promising gas clouds nearby, as well as a few other notable landmarks, and Johann runs a full battery on each one.
H-1: Gas Cloud - Numerous life signs detected, low thermal footprint
H-2: Gas Cloud - ERROR: SCAN INCOMPLETE
H-3: Gas Cloud - Numerous life signs detected, moderate thermal footprint, multiple types of radiation detected
M-1: Yellow Star - Traces of life detected, massive radiation output, absence of shielding on the freighter precludes normal exploration, recommend sending interceptor
L-1: ERROR - Unidentified debris, object profile not listed in databanks, traces of ERROR detected, as well as ERROR
Shit.. The sensors are worse off than we thought.. We'll have to replace them entirely, and the AI could use an overhaul it seems. Anyways, which one should we hit first?
