TURN OF LUCK!

SPACE DATE 2235.038

What a day!  We struck a gravitic mine and damaged our engines.  To make matters worse, we drifted into the Forbidden Zone!  Against my wishes, Dr. Rena sent out a distress signal, but when the GVS Redoubtable arrived to help us, a pack of Cassigar Warpicks showed up and destroyed them.  Luckily, we managed to hide amongst the ship's wreckage so the Cassigars didn't even see us, and even better, we managed to rescue the Redoubtable's crew from their escape pods.  Their Head Engineer who we rescued, managed to repair our engines, and we were able to make our way to Starpost P-41.  Admiral Maru called it a 'textbook rescue', and I think if I keep bugging him about it, my crew and I might be in line for a commendation!
