After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Pierce surveys the slew of bodies strewn about the floor. Leaning down he unceremoniously places the hand of one on the crotch of another. "Ha! Cnosos look!" His smile of amusement fades when it's clear the Greek has no interest in appeasing Pierce's puerile attempts at humor, the man grumbles and sets to work lining up bodies against a wall, seated, backs upright, heads lolled off to the side, one after another. It wasn't the best job to do, but someone probably needed to do it.

Damon takes the lead, letting Solly follow along behind. He sweeps the way ahead of them with his gun, making sure that no danger awaits, and moves in the direction of where he best guesses the bridge is.

"Let's not disappoint them, then. I could use some female company, I think we all agree that our own are quite crazy." Cnosos says by the intercom. He glances at Pierce as he makes fun of the corpses, and rolls his eyes. "After you are done piling up dead aliens, can you bring me that, that, and those?" Cnosos asks, pointing at a series of instruments on the work bench. He begins twisting some wires, and plugin some terminals. He then continues using the tools that Pierce gives him, adjusting some pieces and removing others.

Repair: 23

"Yeah, that is sort of strange, cause if that lightning caused all that damage then wouldn't every electrical system on that ship be fired? Maybe something else happened.." Wanting to answer her own question, Gaetanna decided to start a sensor scan of the ship's hull.

Cnosos realises there is no way he could restart the main reactor, but he finds the auxiliary power systems are actually online. It is a small fusion reactor that's designed to give emergency power. Currently all of it's output is diverted to the engines. With some tinkering Cnosos manages to dispense the power to vital systems in a few minutes, bringing the life support, auxiliary computers and thruster control online.

The air recycling hums to life and starts pumping out the toxic vapors, slowly replacing it with clear air.

Damon and Solly try to find the bridge, and after a few missteps, Damon remembers reading somewhere that unlike humans, syrran usually build their command centers to the heart of the ship. That would mean middecks, somewhere near the junctions to the bow. Soon they find the bridge and the bridge officers slumped on their chairs. At about that time Cnosos gets the environmental control running...

"Treat the quiet ones first," says Solly, sounding like he's quoting from a lesson. He looks around at the equally silent aliens. "No, okay. Let's start at the top." Picking a Syrran with the biggest chair and most insignia to start with, Solly begins checking these aliens for signs of life, and doing what he can to help them.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Life support systems online. I don't know how much time we have, but at least this will eliminate all the cooling gases." Cnosos says by the intercom. He then tries to figure out how much time will the emergency energy will last.

Knowledge Tech: +10

 

[Rhun]

"Good work, Cnosos," says Damon. Then he turns his attention to the nearest console, and attempts to access the ship's computer to check the logs and find out exactly what happened to the Syrran cruiser.

Computer +10

 

[Rhun]

As he works the computer, Damon uses his comm unit to contact the Greed. "Mel, Cnosos has managed to get the environmental systems back online. It looks like many of the Syrran's are still alive. I'm trying to access their logs and find out what happened. Standby."

 

[Relique du Madde]

After gazing at the Syrran ship's hull for who knows how long, Gaetanna glances down at her card computer with a sardonic grin on her face as she turned on her intercom channel.. "Considering that Angel Industries has some subsidiary companies that routinely does this sort of thing, should I start tabulating the Syrran's bill?"
