"Ok so now that i know what my stats look like it looks like i am very smart but not very lucky but its hard to know for sure without a base standard to compare it to.Hmm now lets see if i can bring up a map and status of the ship im on. Apollo nervously shouts out. Ship status?.But nothing happens so he goes and thinks then decides to try again but with a different command. Ship status page, ship map or is it ship diagnostic page? with a beep three menus pop up in front of him it appears to be the ship status page map and diagnostic info

Apollo looks over the map,status page and diagnostic screen and gives the robotic version of a sigh"OK so according to this i have 10 days to get power up and running or i will die hmm maybe i could whip up some solar panel and hopefully fix the engine but then i will need fuel what to do.Wait i got it so if i fix the engine i could use some of the neodymium if i add in some terbium to the mix it should form a very crude nuclear rod but i wont get much power from it thank god i have lots of each.and hopefully while i do that i could get something else up and running let me check what i can build."Apollo looks through his databases to see what he can build and he discovers he can use the z51 model security droids to build a crude protolathe and circuit printer but it would use up all his iron leaving him with nothing to use to print the items he needs he also discovers blueprints for a ore refiner that refines ore but uses a lot of power and refines with a 5 ore to 1 bar of material ratio but it can be upgraded to be more efficient latter on."Should i get the protolathe and circuit printer or would it be better to just get the protolathe and that ore refiner will have to wait until i have more power and once i get that up and running i could get a better circuit printer and protolathe. While the security droids build it i will send the miner robot to go scavenge for materials hmm that sounds like a plan."After Apollo is done thinking out his plan he sends the security droids to build the protolathe and circuit printer and sends the miner robot to scavenge the nearby ships for more materials to use and build with.

"OK finally the droids have finished the protolathe now lets see what we can build"Apollo then interfaces with the protolathe to see what he can build
MATERIAL STORAGE empty CHEMICAL STORAGE empty POWER DESIGNS basic power cell :700 grams of iron:50 grams of glass MEDICAL DESIGNS nothing BLUESPACE DESIGNS tracking beacon:150 grams of iron:100 grams of glass STOCK PARTS
basic micro laser:100 grams of iron:50 grams of glass

Apollo looks at the list then thinks"What the hell why is it in the metric system ah who cares anyway so it seems like those stock parts are what i need to upgrade myself but everything is so cheap maybe its because its the basic types oh well better for me now i think i just need to see what the miner robot brings in"
Apollo detects a loud clanking and with a loud bang the miner robot pulls up and drops off its load of metal and glass and some small objects in front of Apollos camera “Oh it looks like he is back lets see he got 2 sheets of metal and 4 sheets of glass and what seems to be a basic battery hmm” Apollo then connects to it and takes over “I think ill go scavenge myself this time”
He turns and with a loud clanking sound he walks off towards the airlock which opens with a small hiss he steps into it and the airlock closes behind him and opens out into space. Apollo then maneuvers the robot onto the hull of the ship and looks out into the ship grave yard in wonder “Wow so many ships I see a couple frigates and corvettes” He then sees a massive hull in the distance” Holy crap is that a battle cruiser?” this must have been a very big and intense battle I see a lot of Sicia debris but not a lot of Dasia hmm my data-banks is also mostly incomplete I should go and download some data from some other ships”
He then goes and jumps from the hull over to a nearby cargo container and uses the drill to break the lock and opens it then a loud snap as a wire breaks and activates a trap that sends a large iron spike at him with a thunk Apollo barely dodges it by ducking but it breaks some servos in his drill arm the iron spike sinks into the hull behind him with a deep thud” shit I can't use my drill anymore i just hope i can get something useful out of this” He then explores more and finds a data pad and retrieves the data and starts reading it
” survivors log star date 24532 i have taken the last of the food I could from the star of xantha i am running out of air and food and it doesn't seem like anyone is coming to rescue me I wonder who won the war? Fuck it doesn't matter at least we destroyed the Moon base now the Moon base is shattered but at what cost we destroyed the super weapon but im the only survivor"coughing sounds"i will hope that whoever finds this that you avenge this old man"more coughing is heard then the sound of someone failing is heard"end of recording"he gasps and the recording ends” well that answers why I don't see and dasia debris now then”
HE picks up the data pad and then climbs out of the container and looks around but when his eyes land on the asteroid field he reads a pop up that says the shattered moon of kreesha prime “well that answers where the broken moon went it must have been a massive moon” Apollo goes and jumps from his ship to a broken patrol boat and enters the airlock and pushes past the broken inner door and looks through the dark and silent corridor” Not creepy at all”
he looks around and sees bloodstains and burn makes on the walls as he slowly walks through the halls with a thunk clank sounds and he stops in front of a door that says storage and pushes the door open and it opens and reveals a skeleton floating around in front of him he pushes past it and looks at the mostly bare shelf and sees a toolbox” Jackpot I could use this” He grabs it and then he looks around some more and sees some scrap metal lying around so he grabs that and he goes back into the halls and walks towards the command area and pushes against the big metal airlock and enters the bridge and heads over to the command area and starts downloading some data
” Captains log star date 24525 we are sent on a wild goose chase to find the Dasias so called super weapon but i highly doubt it would be in this system in the middle of fucking nowhere” you hear alarms sounds through the recording” oh shit everyone to battle stations it's here oh god we can't destroy that its massive oh shit” the recording captures screaming then cuts out” well that did not sound good but at least I got some more info” he also downloads some star data then he backs up and turns with a clank and then slowly heads down the hall following the signs to cargo and enters the area with a thud and looks around and sees 2 more miner droids and a half broken securatron
