Logbook Entry - Date: 3309-04-06Cmdr. Name: James Riker
A day I'll never forget. Hyperspace jump to Pentam, expecting anything. But nothing prepared me for what came next - interdicted mid-jump!
Two Thargoid Medusa Interceptors, snatched me from the void. Adrenaline surged, instincts took over. Python not built for combat, but had to fight. Desperation can be a powerful ally.
Lasers ablaze, evasive maneuvers pushed to the limit. Thargoids relentless, ship shuddering under their assault. Frame Shift Drive damaged early on, escape impossible. Shields down. Fear crept in.
In desperation initiated emergency reboot. Systems flickered, ship's hum went silent. Breath held, praying for a miracle. Then, the sweet hum of life returned.
Battered Frame Shift Drive back online, just enough to escape the clutches of those alien nightmares. Flood of relief as the ship made the jump to supercruise. Made it to nearby carrier, barely in one piece.
Now, nursing a drink at the bar, recounting the tale. Local woman unimpressed. Repairs needed, but spirit unbroken. Tomorrow, back into the fray. We will not be defeated.
Fly dangerous, fellow commanders. Every battle brings us closer to victory.
Cmdr. Riker, signing off.
