I'll just say you can't rather then have you try it in the story. It requires specialized cells not to mention specific chemicals, neither of  which you know how to make. Also, maybe this wasn't clear, but the massive room entirely filled with hundreds of spaceships was where the line lead to. So we're here. You just need to pick one, which is why the search bar came up

>Oh, and it must be possible for only one person to crew it.

And we totally should be able to splice some plant matter into ourselves. At least if we get our hands on some plants. Symbiotic photosynthesizing bacteria? Symbiotic algae? It wouldn't be that USEFUL, but it sounds feasible to me. :P

Not something you can just DO with access to sunlight, though.

There is nothing to say you can't do it at all, just can't do it now. If you find a creature thats the middle ground of fungus and animal (like lovecraft's old ones) then it will be even easier.

You enter "Exploration craft + Single person crew" into the search bar. A list of available ships scrolls down the left edge of your vision.

"Any suggestions, oh all-knowing authority figure?" you think in your most sarcastic thought-tone

SOMETHING WITH A TEMPORAL POCKET GENERATOR IF YOU PLAN ON GOING ANYWHERE

You add the suggestion to the search again and get back this list
ARR-3-07 "star drifter"
x19-044 "Beta"
P-INS44

There are small pluses next to each ship indicating detailed info is available.

So, in order to escape this silly place, we need to continue to fuck up the space-time continuum.

At least this time the ships themselves are going to be doing the fucking about. One would hope that their mechanical time meddling would be more precise then yours.

IT IS NOT LIKE THIS PLACE IS JUST GOING TO FALL IN ALL AT ONCE IT IS GOING OUT IN BITS

I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO QUICKLY THOUGH

You select the P-INS44 and the optics highlight the craft on the otherside of the hangar. You push off the walkway and float toward the ship, bringing up the data on it as you do.

P-INS44
Prototype Inter-nebula strikecraft
Prototype exploratory/attack craft, designed by APOTHEOSIS Network. Early tests proved promising due to it's long effective range and surprisingly effective weapons systems however testing was delayed indefinitely because of its high cost.
Specs:
Effective range: 125,000 ly
Crew:1
Armament:(redacted)
Speed: (redacted)

You land on the craft, a sleek silver ship roughly 30 foot long and 15 wide with no visible wing or engine structures, simply an elongated tear shaped body.

take this one or look at another?

>recap
You are wandering through time and have a bad habit of making situations worse. You have the capacity to mold flesh like clay and mysterious time bending powers. Currently your only friend is a omnipotent computer who only helps you because he finds the murder you engage in funny. The space station your on is falling apart and you need to get the fuck out.
