Piloting an old freighter on the way back from a nearby system carrying some parts needed for the station, Holmes is jamming out to a 20th century classic "Heavy Metal - Sammy Hagar" on his rPod.
He notices a nebula buildup ahead on the scope, pausing the music, "R3 whats the status on those lateral stabilizers? With the hyperdrive being out were gonna be in for a bumpy ride navigating a nebula storm with all this mass on board..."
R3 whirs as it plugged in to the aging freighters subsystems and chirps a reply to Holmes. "only 40%?" Holmes exclaims in disgust, "Great, just great."
An alarm is heard coming from a nearby communications console, "What now..." Holmes accesses the comm panel to find a message from the RBL station's monitoring subsystem. The messages reads [Structural integrity compromised, Hangar Bay #2]. "What the %$^*, are we under attack?"
He keys up the comm panel initiating a subspace link to RBL's station core. {Greetings Holmes, Accessing systems core, retrieving structural alert details} .... [Structural Integrity compromised in Hangar Bay #2, deck plating compromised, large void, probable cause- incineration, safety force field - unable to compensate, lifeform in void present] ... {Identify lifeform} ... [Matching lifeform to alien species database - no match, Matching lifeform to crew database... Lifeform has 99.92% probability match to crewmember RBL_M1A2Tanker]
"Hmm what the heck happened there Tank" Holmes mutters, "Oh well nothing we can do about it from out here, will have to deal with it when we arrive, R3 keep after those stabilizers we're entering the edge of the storm."
Holmes hits resume on the rPod as the old freighter slips out of site into the thick murk of a nebula storm...
