You climb up into a window and look out. You are on a battered space station. You are in a belt of slowly moving debris. Occasionally, some high speed debris flies past. You could probably use the ship's systems to track them.

>estimate time to repair solar panels, and estimate increased power output if repairable solar panels are repaired.

[Gwolfski]

You clamber out to inspect the panels
Panel 1 is nowhere to be seen, a cable stump in its place
Panel 2 is magically intact
Panel 3 is snapped in half, with one half missing
Panel 4 is held on by a few wires
Panel 5 is badly crushed
Panel 6 is a small panel that appears to be covered in bullet holes
Panel 7 is covered by some old parachute.

Quick repairs would restore ~120 PU
Further repairs would require spares and/or a specialized drone.



I am going to sleep, goodnight, I'll continue in morning

You use five of your arms to grab some of the loose plates and create impromptu armor.

You splice the loose cables on panel four, and fasten it to the station using a handy roll of ducktape floating by

>Remove The old Parachute

You remove the old parachute, stuffing it into the station via a smashed window. Might be usefull later.

The PDA vibrates. It probably beeps too, but sound doesn't travel well in space. The following comes up on the screen.

My name is Andrew. Andrew Kowalski. I am writing this because this might be the end. It all started a few years ago. The Republican States and Mexico were massing an army outside the borders of the Democratic States. Then Russia got involved, and yeah. It never got rid of its nuclear weapons, you know. And it only got worse. So I, as a quite important scientist, I decided I should disappear. I applied for a place on this blasted space can. It was researching botany. Not interesting for the war effort. A phone call and I was a certain John Kowalski-Smith. The original had died of cancer, but the news were told it was me. Hah. Fooled them. I thought I'll be safe here. But no. Many satellites were shot down, and the debris destroyed much of the remaining space infrastructure. I decided I'll wait it out, so I went to sleep in tube three. I guess I'll see what happens when I wake up.

You steer the drone back inside, along the many ripped cables. There is a bundle named "cryo". You carefully patch all of it.

-CryoChamber is now connected. Occupants: empty/empty/used/empty

You trip on a cable as well, while returning to the docking port.

-Solar panel directional control recovered.
-Solar panels are not at optimum position. Reposition? Y/N
>Y
-Repositioning

The structural beams shake slightly as damaged servos move the solar panels to face the Sun.
-Repositioned. PU increased by 23, from 347
-current spare power is 163, loading batteries.

WELCOME TO LIFE SUPPORT 101!!!

The Basics:

You need air!
Air is made up of oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and nitrogen!
Oxygen gets used up!
Nitrogen doesn;t!
Carbon dioxide is produced!!!

So, you may ask, where do I get teh Oxygen from? Well i'll Tell you!

We use a super-Duper advanced AIr-Scrubber^TM!

PLug it in and it magically turns carbon dioxide into oxygen!!!

And guess  what? It makes frickin' DIAMONDS!!!_{at a rate of 1 every 1000 years}

Bigger Basics!!

You need to keep the air in somehow, ehh? I suppose you should seal your room!

> air processing.

[Gwolfski]

> air processing
-Air processing started
--current mode is: scrub
--current max level of CO₂ is 0.05 %

--available presets:
--1= plant life - high levels of CO₂
--2= human life - remove all CO₂
--3= Mixed - a healthy blend for both flora and fauna

--available modes:
--1=scrub - remove CO₂, converting it into oxygen, low power use
--2=molecular reassembly- the perfect blend! Reassembles molecules to your liking! - Extremely high power use

-ATTENTION! Cryotube 3 occupant waking up in 1 Time Unit

>mixed

[Gwolfski]

>mixed

Air mixture set to preset 'mixed'

The occupant of the Cryotube has successfully woken!
