The story thus far:

The Sojourner was rushed out of rest and resupply to hurry towards where two civilian trading vessels had sent a distress signal. Even at sustainable cruising speeds the journey took months to arrive at the nearest distress signal. The signal itself was coming from the inside of a jam packed asteroid field and an exact fix was hard to determine. The Captain ordered the hull polarized and sent the ship in.

Despite Laursen’s excellent piloting skills the ship was struck by two asteroids. In a twist of fate or luck the damage done was catastrophic as a main power junction in engineering exploded killing poor NE Millicant, while there were also several crew throughout the ship suffered injuries. Many ship systems went down including artificial gravity, communications, deflector control was jammed in one mode, and the port side maneuvering was disabled.

Through skillful piloting and a crack team on damage control the Sojo made it safely out of the asteroid field with only a couple more bumps. Gravity is partially restored to the bridge, deflector control is jury rigged to switch between local navigation and warp travel, the fire in engineering is put out and cooling, and the injured are being tended to. Where the ship goes from here is up to the dauntless crew and their stalwart Captain.
