"Assessment: Most likely."

Tiny looks towards the gun turret.

"Statement: I am on it!"


Tiny hops into the firing seat and takes aim at nothing in particular. Anybody near the hatch can hear him talking to himself; " Aggression: Pew. Pew. Pew. Die imperials. Pew Pew"

Result:
1 success 3 threat

The ship groans and creaks as Mo brings up the hyperdrive, and as the stars blur past the canopy the hyperdrive makes some very unnerving sounds. A moment passes where the crew say nothing to each other, and just listen to the drive pulasting a rhythmic groaning sound.

They all look at Deks, who is looking off in the distance studying the sound with his head cocked to one side.

He recognizes the sound as air in the hyperdrive cooling regulator. A [Simple] fix but you need to go easy on the drive until you jump out of hyperspace.

Tiny remains in the turret, waiting for any sign of a hostile vessel to appear. Most people who know him would have never seen him as lucid and alert as he is in this moment. He is ready. The gun is ready. Together they are become death, destroyer of imperials.

Deks gets right to work on the shield system. Sitting on the floor next to the shield electronic access hatch, his two right arms each hold electrical probes. He tests two points, then reads a meter placed on the floor while his left hands push buttons on the meter and fish inside the nearby tool box.

That power plug won't get the better of him this time. It takes about 7 hours of tinkering, testing, power cycling, and the shield power is restored. Deks also found a couple shortcuts that were able to improve the efficiency of the system (remove all ship strain, remove critical injury to shields).

The repair was a lot of work, and its been a long day Deks takes 1 strain. But Deks is on a roll with repairs, just a few more left until everything is running properly. Now tired from the long day the ship jumps out of hyperspace.

The coordinates drop them into a large orbit around a orange and red gas giant.



Also in the orbit are the early formations of a ring. Mostly large asteroids scattered around the giant, some the size of small moons and many the size of capital ships. The adrift ship is nowhere in sight, but the beacon indicates that it's up ahead inside the asteroid ring.

Yawning from where he was half dozing in the pilot's chair, Mo blinks and looks up as the console bleeps to indicate a return to normal space. Getting on ship's comms he says, "Hey everyone, we'll be arriving at that ship in about ... now. Anyone who wants a seat on the bridge, come get it. Tiny, don't shoot anything until I tell you to or it shoots at us first, ok?"

Before moving the ship in closer, Mo points to the sensors console and says to the folks in the room, "Any of you guys good with those, I wanna make sure we aren't flying into a trap here."

The engines hum calmly as the universe waits for our band of adventurers to take action. A small orange battery light illuminates on T1ny's torso and blinks intermittently
