Yula: "
VAES Report"
VAES: "
Jump complete. Ship detected."
Brodie: "
Oh great, another derelict."
VAES: "
Incorrect. This ship is registered as SGS Reexodus. They have responded to hails and are willing to trade."
VAES Note: There is a pause of several seconds while the crewmembers look stunned.Yula: "
Well thank xxx for that, I guess not everyone in this system is dead, pirate, or alien. Brodie go over their manifest and see if they have anything worthwhile."

BrodieThe Reexodus must have been hard up for food, they were willing to give us some good supplies in exchange for just a few of our premade meals. They were… also offering meat. Meat from dead crew. I do not comment often on other cultures but this disgusts me. I suppose when it is down to survival, it cannot be helped.
They refused to speak, other than to trade. They did not know what has happened, or would not tell me if they did know.
VAES Note: The Reexodus has concluded trading and jumped away.HSS Charalampos -

YulaWe need more hull material and I think it's worth going back for that derelict now. If the pirates return we can jump away. Field 97 is reachable from here but contains only precursor chemicals. I found a Company survey of the system and it doesn't indicate any easily accessible metals with which we could make hull material from. Salvage may be our only option for now.
Technically we could return to Bellatrix and salvage her. Although I am reluctant to do so, it may be our only choice, so I am taking us back.
Tiernan just reminded me that we took a small amount of iron off of one of the freight ships earlier so I've had him build a refinery. It's cramped but we can fit it in there. Once we've refined it down into plates we can tear the refinery down and build a fabricator.

BrodieYula has ordered another round of bizarre changes to the Charalampos. This ship was supposed to just get us out of here, not become a battle cruiser. Well, we have no weapons, but still the ship has expanded beyond anything we initially expected. I would not put it past her to have us building weapons next!

LucianaWe're back at the Bellatrix! Yula wants us to strip her bare. It feels wrong, but I guess it's necessary. Yula says we need the materials.

AlejandroVAES please log a formal complaint from me over the salvage of the Bellatrix station. It is company property and not legal salvage.
VAES Note: Complaint logged, however Crewman Alejandro is incorrect. Yula may order the decommissioning of a company space asset if it is deemed necessary for survival.HSS Charalampos -

LucianaIt's creepy being back here. Everything is frozen since we shut the power down a few weeks ago but there's plenty of air left. We should clean out the inside before we breach the hull for materials otherwise the outrushing air will throw debris around which could puncture a suit.
Wow hard to believe it's been only a few weeks since we left.

TiernanWe've carefully vented the air from Bellatrix and can now begin hull salvage. I've drawn up a salvage plan and submitted it to the crew.
VAES Note: Tiernan's salvage plan is inefficient. I have made some modifications to the submission as Crewman Yula has indicated that efficiency is paramount.I feel we are moving too fast to be safe, the forward section of the ship Yula has ordered us to build is barely habitable so we must construct it in our suits. She's even sealed the vents. She says we will worry about life support later. Worry about it later!

YulaNone of them have any ability to think strategically or logistically! Do they not understand?
Yes, we must expand the ship. We need more room for systems. Why? Because we must protect ourselves.
To protect ourselves we need shields. We need weapons.
To build those very technical systems we need more technical components. And how do you get technical components? You must manufacture them! So we move some things around and we build refining and manufacturing capability. It is like leading a bunch of children, all they do is complain about the work. We have seen hostile ships, we cannot just blithely fly around hoping for the best. Doing that will leave us without fuel, stranded here in this xxx of a system. I want to go home, not die in space to pirates and aliens.
Not to mention, how exactly should we carry out their brilliant plan of 'just run'? We have no long term sleeper pods yet, nor material to make them. Jumping to another system would end with us maddened or dead. Idiots.
VAES Note: Survival for 6 crew on a jump between star systems depends on the distance travelled, but even short jumps give odds no better than 13% for survival of all crew in healthy condition upon jump completion.
