For a moment she didn't even realize her station had been activated."My god...what is that thing? It's not possible...they would have spotted this...there's no way there's aliens..."Then she realized the course the ship is on, and breathed a sharp curse as she forced her eyes down to her console."Adjusting course to avoid collision," she said automatically as she selected one of the AI suggestions and began to implement it. The ship shook slightly as lateral thrusters fired, followed momentarily by attitude correction jets.Slowly the ponderous hulk of the Hope began to turn in space, interposing its main drive between itself and the bizarre alien...well, space station was the only thing she could think of it being."Thirty seconds to main drive burn. That will give us zero speed relative to the...the...structure...and still leave us enough delta-v to insert into orbit if...they let us." She swallowed, abruptly realizing what was at stake here. Nothing less than the potential future of humankind.(pilot skill is +7 to make The Hope go (-4 from her normal skill). If it's enough, she'll take 10 to avoid collision. Otherwise she'll use an AP on rolling. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
