Day 9:


    Diagnostic reports from the engineers came in today, looks like the ship is stranded until we can get a tugboat. Fortunately we’ve got no need to be on the move right now so this shouldn’t be an issue. I’ve started discussing a plan to gain control of the comms room with Jones and Tomlinson but something I noticed a few days ago has been eating at me. When emergency power ran out during our mission to retake engineering I initially attributed our success to the heads up display provided by our helmets during the blackout but I failed to realize something far more important that became clear after “Professor Brain Implant” took a deeper look into my memory. We not only had advanced warning due to our HUD but we also had the advantage in a zero gravity environment. What I had failed to recognize was that the parasites have no experience operating a human body, let alone making it work in zero G whereas zero gravity combat training is something every recruit in the empire accomplishes in boot camp. Our ability to run coordinated operations in a zero G environment could very well be the key to getting this ship back under our control. Jones and Tomlinson are having a hard time agreeing on how we should approach the comms room anyway, perhaps if I give them an option that’ll get the entire ship back they’ll see eye to eye for once. I’ll talk it over with them tomorrow when I feel like their bickering has run its course. I’ll probably need to talk it over with George too, it’d be better if I can coordinate intervals of no gravity to make sure the parasites don’t get too comfy in zero G.This story originates from a different website.
