"Captain's Log, February 7th.

Systems are intermittent, but power has been restored to gravity fields and, for the time being, life support. Sergeant Avery says that it will take time to bring most systems online, but assures me sensors won't take too long to bring back up.

So far, we've counted six decks in fifteen sections that have been breached. Airtight compartments are holding as well as they can, but Avery says it's only a temporary solution. The hangar is completely inaccessible, and engines and aligning thrusters are out.
Out of confirmed casualties, we've tallied 298 so far, including XO Whittaker, mostly from hypoxia and vacuum exposure. The bridge remains intact, but emergency shutters weren't fast enough to save most of the crew. Only Lieutenant Holford made it out, and just barely.

Avery has what remains of the engineering staff working on bringing systems online, but he suspects we may have a fuel leak, given the lower than expected gauges, though he may also suspect damaged sensory equipment.

We won't be moving for a while, so all efforts will move towards rationing what resources we have. Water and nutrition will need to be allocated accordingly, lest we spark a mutiny over food. At least life support remains intact, for now."
