Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.
>Broadcasting on all Emergency Long-range frequencies
>Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: Mayday. Mayday. Mayday. This is the UPA Dreadnaught code name Zeus.
> Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: 108 days ago the crew was performing a routine test run of our weapon systems on the outskirts of the martian belt.
> Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: After firing our primary railgun at a test asteroid, and unknown vessel of presumed outspacer origin fired upon our vessel with nuclear armaments.
> Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: In the resulting explosion, our hull was breached and nearly two thirds of our crew was instantly killed. We lost all thrust capabilities as our engines became irreperably damaged. We have since that time drifted through outspacer territory and are now in a rapidly decaying orbit around jupiter.
> Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: There aren’t many of us left. Between suicides, falty life support and outspacer raids there’s only around thirty of us left here.
> Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: I’m not stupid, I know no one from the UPA will get this message in time. It’ll take far longer than that for any ship to get out here, thats if command even wants us to be saved, we were testing classified military tech afterall...
> Acting Captain; Austice, Elith: Regardless, even though we know we can’t be saved, we’ve decided it’s in our best interest to send out a signal, to tell the solar system what happened here. And to warn them, if we can. About what the outspacers are planning.
