Chapter IIb: On Your Own

You've definitely seen pirates in vac suits so they must be around. Let me know which part of the ship you want to investigate.

As you make your way through the ship, you are lucky and don't encounter any more pirates, which makes you think this ship is currently running with minimal crew. You also don't find anymore rooms that are used as prison cells and therefore no prisoners. YOu could try to find if there's an actual brig on this ship but you at least don't find one on your way to the hangar.

You reach a hangar bay and find a small runabout in it. It appears damaged. You can't make out the extent of the damage from the outside. If you wanted to find out, you would have to get inside and try to start it. There's also a large, opened box with vac suits in it in the hangar bay. The box is half empty but there's still six suits left.

Lorq, it takes you a good amount of time. Like any Spacefleet officer, you have studied this kind of thing at the Academy but that was years ago and you haven't done much with machines like this since then, but after a while, it comes back to you. The ship has some damage but nothing too serious, so you manage to get it to work after a while. In case you want to escape in it: it would be able to make a long distance journey but it wouldn't be able to outrun the pirate ship you are on at the moment.

Suddenly, the comm system starts up and a harsh clicking sounds through the cargo bay. You are all unable to understand it but it doesn't sound friendly. Then the lights around you flash Yellow Alert.

They must have noticed your escape
