The Colonial Outlaws

[font=agency fb]This is starting to get serious. I'm in Leeds, 25k above the plane with all the traffic and stuff. My engines are fried and the ship is running on impulse speed. Problem is, I'm going up. Thruster, weapons, Supernova, everything that could generate a little impulse is broken. Comm systems are out, lights are also out of action. However, the bateries are at 80%, I got water and oxygen for two weeks and even some food, for three, maybe four days.

How did this happen? After I successfully pirated a guy, I started my cruise engines and headed above plane to lose my tail if I had any. Problems started when I decided to stop the engines to hide my heat signature. I didn't stop the ship, just the engines. Surprise was on my face when I tried to power them up again. It's been one hour since I'm drifting. A simple calculation shows that I will go like this for another three months before stopping at 600.000 k from the center of this system.

I already tried to break an exterior pipe to make the fuel burst and generate impulse but it didn't work. I think I will take a break now and sleep. Maybe I can save some oxygen. This, might be my end...
