Zuni brings the Wayward Wind up to the drifting Beowulf, the ship listing, hull scorched and leaving a trail of sparks. It's barely space worthy, but intact for now. If you could get the life support back up and manoeuvre drive up running, it could land for more extensive repairs.
As you make your way to the docking bridge, you find Heretic Squad is all suited up and ready to go.
"These Sword Worlders were no match for you," praises One as they fall in line with Alerio and Fallon. Though there is no outward emotion on the Feskal's serene face, you can hear the subtle pride in his voice. "Congratulations on your victory."
Each one of the broad-shouldered men are ready to accompany the crew as needed.When you cross the docking bridge and into the Beowulf, you immediately fall into zero-g, which is always disorienting for those untrained to operate in this manner. The air is thinning, but there's still enough atmosphere to hear warning sirens blaring, and the halls are bathed in flashing emergency lights that cut through a thick haze of smoke.
Comms are open with Seally and Zuni, who can hear everything that Fallon and Alerio can hear, and vice versa.
Captain Falkirk is there to greet you, and fills you in on the situation as he guides you through his cramped ship. "You couldn't have better timing. The Calibrandr just started shooting up Walston," he recalls. "Took out Central's defences and barracks, while pirates stormed the downport. We were trying to get away but the Calibrandr caught us. Come, our medical officer is wounded and on the bridge. And Engineering is through that portal, if you can lend a hand."
Moving in zero G is tricky, but fortunately, ships are designed with hand-holds along the corridors in the event of life support shutdown, and you make your way.
At the bridge, Fallon finds the medical officer badly burned from an explosion. You'll have to bring him back to the Wayward Wind to treat him as the air is too thin to remove their Vacc Suit, clearly put on him after sustaining the burns. Your Feskal is ready to help haul them.
In Engineering, Alerio finds the chief engineer working frantically to seal the microfractures in the hull and jump-start the atmosphere generators. He tosses you a data pad, which floats through the zero G gracefully, and brings you up to speed. There's not much time for thanks, but he does manage to interject: "Our bacon would be cooked if it weren't for you and your crew." He gestures to the Feskal: "Big fella, you mind holding this light?"
60 minutes until Dreks starts killing folks!

Feel free to give us an Engineering and Medical check with a little in-character narration of what's going on, KCC and Nezz! The medical officer has serious burns and he's going to die without intervention, but you can cryofreeze him in a low berth if things don't go well. It'll be risky to thaw him, but maybe you can get some help with that. KCC, for your engineering check, you can roll with a Boon as you are working with help.60 minutes until Dreks starts killing folks!
