"Captain's Log, March 22nd, 830 A.S.

Power has been restored following fuel line severance from the main reactor. That our air held out for that long without recycling is nothing short of a miracle. Chief Engineer Hailey confirmed that direct impact had been made with one of the Barrier 'roids, and lodged it within the ship's superstructure. While pressure was restored to decks seven through ten in that compartment, it didn't stop the air venting into the nebula. Hailey wants to send a team in to survey the damage, but only after power to shields has been restored. Until then, we'll be sitting tight for the crew to get systems back in full.

No communications so far from other members of Flight Delta. A nearby sensor sweep detected numerous friendly and enemy fighter and gunship wrecks. Likely what remained of our escort and our pursuers. It could be they saw the ship hit the asteroid and assumed it vented the entire ship. If so, this may give us time to bring systems back up and make for the rendezvous.

Next log will be set.. for three days, barring anything unexpected.
This is Fairchild, end of log."
