More status reports started coming in from about the ship. Most were related to power draws, and the like since their arrival to the system. So far things were normal, barring of course the warp drive being inoperable due to the fourth planet. There also was the fact they seemed to be under attack by someone or something as thuds of impact were felt along the hull with the hull polzaration system taking the brunt of the impacts.

“Okay, it seems like we are losing power to critical systems. Let’s see what we can do to stop the power drains before something critical goes down.”

With the brief combat over things soon settled back to approaching normal in the engine room.

El felt the last of the shuddering on the hull. That one felt like it was under her feet. Catching her bearings from that she figured that they must have been maneuvering away from the planet and were ‘above’ it, relatively speaking. Hull strength was at 92%. Now how much of that was ‘localized hull’ and how much of that was ‘powered through the polarization’? Yes, the damage to the polarization ate away at the conductive surface which in turn caused degradation with the hull strength. The question was whether that was isolated to a particular region of the hull or dissipated throughout. If the former perhaps she could work out a way to repair that. Did they have canisters of the superconductive paint necessary? El couldn’t remember but then she didn’t know everything that was in stores. If so she could work a team to go out and ‘repair’ those areas.

Repainting of the hull was probably for now a low priority task, for now decontaminating the laundry room seemed to be the orders of the day.
