Ochita can't fly, so Iceball just decides to toss himself out the airlock like everyone's been doing since we started the game.
Iceball returns with an EVA pack strapped to his back and a few bottles of an unidentified liquid. Examination with the universal translator indicates that it is some sort of beverage. It should probably fetch a high price at the next starport.
Evergod: 2
The engines fail. Shit.

Apparently, the actual members of the Stephinian species share as much DNA with their ancestors as a human does with a dolphin. They can barely even be called organic lifeforms anymore, consuming energy from the power grid.
Bioengineering in other parts of the galaxy is far less advanced, though more technologically advanced races have done neat things with genes, making small insectoid creatures that can clean up oil spills for example.
Biotech as in organic computer systems is a very underdeveloped field. There just aren't enough practical applications.
Noob: 1
You find inside your toolkit the instruction manual for the ship. You decide to tinker with the engine a bit.
It stops working. Oops. Well, at least you didn't damage the power system, just the drive.
