If your reading this then my ship an alliance crusader called endless dreams has sustained tremendous damage and I’m floating above a planet about 565 km up my engines are disabled I think one is completely gone i have ran a systems check and my sensors are gone they were the first thing disabled when I was hit by what I don’t know but it came out of nowhere and I had no time to react before I was left disabled and running at 22% power my fighter bay has sustained significant damage upon inspection I found i only have one fighter available but it’s also heavily damaged my SRV bay is also operational but one is totaled ant the other is missing a wheel so if worse comes to worse I might have to use one of those to escape the ship and hopefully make it to the planet below as I am walking back to the bridge of the ship I heard a dreadful alert “life support failure” I now realize that I have less then 25 minutes before my oxygen depletes and I die a slow and agonizing death from asphyxiation I’m standing here thinking when my suit reminds me that I have 20 minutes remaining I quickly run to the fighter bay and attach a cable to my fighter then run to the SRV bay and try to manually open the door for the SRV bay but it won’t budge I think for a minute before the chime of my suit pulls me from thought “15 minutes of oxygen remaining” I quickly load whatever I can find that my be useful into the SRV storage compartment then run back to the bridge and start the fighter launch sequence with no plan other then winging it and getting off this ship alive I run back to the fighter bay and hop in the badly damaged remaining fighter and close the canopy once it closes the life support system engages and starts pumping oxygen into the cockpit allowing me to breathe without my suit So I hit the launch button and the fighter shoots out of the ship I flip it around once it’s fully launched and finally get a proper look at my crusader just floating there I finally see the whole back end is just mangled metal the left rear engine number 3 is missing my tail is just mangled most of the top is missing panels and everywhere that’s damaged is just sparking then an explosion goes off exposing the cabin quarter’s as I see my bed float away I also notice the SRV bay doors finally opening so I come up with a plan to try and hook the partially useable SRV to the cable and drag it behind the fighter down to the planet below it’s crazy but it might be crazy enough to work so I swing the damaged F63 Condor below the ship and position the cockpit facing the SRV bay and depressurize the cockpit and open the hatch and crawl along the body to the earlier attached cable that I was hoping would be useful and grab the unattached end and clip it to my belt and push off the fighter towards the bay and slowly float towards it after two minutes I finally am inside and I try to find a suitable attachment point on the SRV I eventually at the 5 minutes of oxygen left mark attach it to the top then I scramble back down the cable to the fighter and back in with 3 minutes 42 seconds of oxygen left in the suit and re-pressurize the cockpit and then I throttle forward and away from the ship till the cable tightens and I can’t fly farther and realize the lock is still engaged on the SRV but if I back up then full throttle away it should rip it out yeah the lock will be totaled but it’s not like I will use it again so I do exactly that and to my surprise it actually works and I fly away from the ship with a SRV behind a fighter I think that’s all for this Journal entry but I will try to make another one if I survive the landing on the planet
