Qenari Protocol

Personal Log // Entry 3127-A

Timestamp: 32 minutes after exodus.

Pilot ID: 07-221 | Vessel: Lancer-F2

I wasn't on the last ship out. Never made it. 

The jump drive took a hit during the fighting - fried before I could engage.

One by one, the others jumped away. No fanfare. No goodbyes.

Just streaks of light disappearing into the dark.

Now it’s just me and R.O.D. - the droid. Keeps busy scanning wreckage and patching up systems. We’ve got a half-functioning fabricator onboard, enough to print basic parts. It won’t fix the jump drive - not yet - but it's a start.

Been scavenging through debris fields, old stations, wrecked drones. Most of it's junk, but occasionally we find something worth melting down. Alloys, wiring, structural plating - whatever it takes to rebuild.

Mission’s simple:

Repair the jump drive. Reconnect with the fleet. Finish the exodus.

Until then, I fly alone.

Remember to save often. If your ship gets destroyed it's game over. Unfortunately there is a bug in the Load (or Continue) while still in the game, so I recommend restarting the game after you die and then choose Continue. Sorry for the inconvenience!
