Adventures in Space/AiS Interrogate the crew 2
From Create Your Own Story
You ask Lucinha Nern to organise the questioning of all the senior staff from the Nebulous to see if they really got everyone off the ship. Assuming that there is no-one aboard her, the Nebulous must have a technical fault. Otherwise 'someone' must have changed the course.
"Captain Sozin, watch out for an attack. I doubt that old thing has much firepower, but she attacks I want you to disable her." Captain Hazael Sozin, a serious man in his late thirties, nods confirmation. "Sozin out."
"Commander," Lucinha begins, "the three remaining senior staff give differing versions of events. Would you like to listen to recordings of their answers?" "Yes, please." "OK, first we have Lieutenant Drusilla, acting captain of the Nebulous." A middle aged lady appears on the display, looking straight at the camera. She is wearing formal clothing and appears tired.
"In summary, we were attacked by several ships. We escaped, but not before three fighters had managed to board the ship. We never found their pilots. Some members of the crew have gone missing or been killed. We believe that the fighters were pirates coming aboard. They have then been picking off our crew, including the captain. I thank the Lord that you came to get us off that ship."
The screen flashes back to Lucinha. "Next we have First Engineer Pob." Surprisingly young for such a senior officer, Pob looks nervous and wears a stained jacket and well worn trousers [pants].
"To summarise? Well, I told you, we were attacked. We took critical hits to our weapons systems so we used all our available fuel to get away. We sent out distress signals for a while until the entire comms system just conked out. Umm.. then there was confusion. People got scared and some of the leaders had a disagreement. Once order was restored we did a register and several people were missing. We also found the captain and his deputy dead in an office. It looks like they shot each other at the same time."
"Finally, Senior comms officer Mhaw-Lamb." This is a plump, comfortable looking man. He is wearing casual clothing and is probably slightly younger than Lt. Drusilla.
Alright, so we were attacked and managed to escape. I was sending out distress signals and my staff were nursing the comms system. Two main nodes were damaged in the attack, you know? Anyway, what can you do, the whole system crashed and the engineers said no way were they going all the way to the other side of the ship to fix the nodes; they were pretty much scared of the dark, I say. Then somebody came up to me and said, hey, the captain's dead! And some other people. Now I wonder if someone deliberately overloaded the system so that the captain couldn't call for help. And then you fellas turned up."
