How did we survived this?
Query: Above Statement
Answer: Mainframe manipulated the trajectory of our fall so that the ship landed as gracefully as possible, onto a large body of water which we seem to be extremely close to the shore of. The audio detectors are picking up the sound of waves, rustling leaves, and sounds of fauna, indicating that we are residing on a seashore.
So we are clear?
The force of the impact has tore a sizable chunk of the ship, mainly the thruster section, off and onto the sea.

DAMMIT
Guess we are here for a while.

\Unregistered/Malignant Combination Request
\By: BAD_DATA
BAD_DATA? It wasn't A3? Who is it? Why are they corrupted?
What even is a "combination request"?
This gives me no answers!
It might as well be some sort of ghost entity.
How do I protect myself from something I can't even sense?
I can help with that! If in doubt, hunt!
What are you planning to do, Kill? It isn't somwthing you can shoot, I am afraid.
I am a bloodthirsty maniac, Not an idiot. The ship is a militiary ship. It has robust and powerful cyber-defenses. I plan on using those to destroy this "ghost entity"
Tell me you guys aren't going after something that may not even exist in a pointless witch hunt?
HELL YES WE ARE!!!
I'd like to point out that the ship is on the verge of complete-
POWER LOST

That's not good...
That's not good at all!
The ship is losing power. The impact trajectory was as precise as it could be, but it wasn't enough. Both the secondary reactor and the main power distribution systems have been substantially damaged in landing.

We are in big trouble.
So, you are on the shores of an alien sea, on a cold, arid planet that bears organic life. The ship is sturdy, but even it has a limit to the amount of damage it can take. You are running out of power.
What do you do?
