Reas wakes up
"Ah shit, what the fuck happened" checks Modules panel "Why is almost everything offline? HUD is distorted, canopy HUD isn't even working, half the ship is fried...."
As Reas looks from the cockpit of the spinning Phantom, he quickly understoods why.
"A Black Hole?"
"Black Hole info: 100-180 solar masses, 0.0007 solar radius, Distance: 599km"
Power conduit ruptures
"SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT"
Phantom powers down
"Last thing I need, seriously"
"Oxygen supply will last for 7 minutes"
"Oh yeah?"
Finally the auto repair system kicks in, and in moments, power is back on, and the HUD is slowly fixing too.
"I think I should analyze this system a bit" says Reas as he approaches the large panel in the back. "Nothing.... no planets where I could gather some material, because I, a dumbass, never stocks up on repair material"
"Okay.... let's focus on shields, FSD and fuel scoop, the rest can be fixed at AB.... ugh...." falls on the floor
The biomon inside the flightsuit is beeping
"Health Alert. Health Alert. Medical Attention Required"
As Reas is on the floor, he struggles to reach holopad on his left arm, wanting to know what's wrong.
"Argh. Fuck." he vomits. Finally he taps on the holopad. "A concussion? Fuck me right in the ear, like I don't know that" vomits again. "Need to somehow fix myself, can't work like this"
Reas somehow gets to medbay, and the med drones start detailed medical scan. Sitting on the bed, he wonders what went so wrong that the shit got into the current state. The med drones, fortunately, work perfectly.
Fast forward by an hour
Med and cleaning drones both did their job, and Reas feels way better.
"So where do I start......?" "FSD Drop Detected" "Please tell me the sensors are working perfectly"
"Vessel identified. Krait Phantom, Name: Solstice A7T-CS, CMDR Ami-Wolf"
