The feed shakes, appears to be recorded by a bodycam. Quickened steps lead through rows of cramped corridors, into rather empty supply compartments and to heavily worked on parts of the vessel. Replaced wiring, mismatched compoments and an assortment of haphazardly tossed together spares to be spotted at sites of maintenance. Notes are taken on different parts of the erratic journey before it abruptly stops, heavier breathing audible. Sounding more and more irregular and with an undertone of fear. The person sits down, gloved and delicate hands coming into view, holding their own knees. The words frantic. "Siesindweg siesindweg siesindweg. Dasisnichecht!" Whimpering a little longer before the shakiness of the recording subsides more - then it shuts down entirely only to jump to a different scene back on the bridge. Device once more placed on a stable surface, showing most of the ship's command center.
"Status report!""Propulsion down to 60%. Hull is holding. Shield emitters remain operational at 80%. Reactor seen better days, sir. But she will do as told. We lack power to utilize the Brummbär, unless we reroute a whole lot more for it. Left pulse cannon acts up at times, do not count on it. All Vierlings are performing as expected. Long range sensors still out, but we are no longer entirely blind. With the new rationing plan we can hold out for an additional two weeks, but then it will get dire. Chances are we need to leave and hunt, unless you have some new year's miracle for us and got a supply vessel inbound. Fuel remains an issue, if you want me to i can see about decreasing Sprotte's hunger by lowering engine output as a whole. That is also less strain on... well - everything, sir.""Look at you, Habermeyer. Did the lessons pay off now?""We will see once i am done, but i remain confident.""What else?" With hesitation in her voice Traudel straightens her posture. "Crew size remains identical to last census. Operational capabilities limited, we remain underman-...""I am aware of that. We all are. To work with you. We sat in here long enough. Orders are clear - Jagdzeit. Schneider, find us a suitable piece of debris or rock to lay low next to at the outskirts. Keep it portside. Once Habermeyer is done we get into position and lower our own readings as far as possible.""Jawohl Herr Kaleun!" Schneider is seen sitting down as Traudel nears the device before the feed shakes and then cuts off.
