Communications between the ship AI's on the Gabe, Celestial, Intrepid, and Luciana.

Five minutes before full power system failure.

The Gabe: Gabriel 6:47

Report. All sections of the ship are showing elevated power usage. I performed a quick diagnostic across all the equipment, and it is working correctly. The power requirements are going up every second. I may have to land sooner than expected.

Intrepid: Isaac 6:47

I double checked my systems and found the same problem. Are the rest of you having power issues?

Luciana: Lucy 6:47

Yes, I attempted to switch to onboard batteries, but they were already drained. I checked through the video logs and could find no sabotage. The battery sells were fully charged three hours ago when I last checked.

Celestial: Chase 6:48

My ship only has a medium reactor core. I'm going to try and boost it, but from my calculations, it will not work. My ship only has 20 crew and over 800 livestock. I'm going to warn the captain and have them get in their cryo-pods.

Intrepid: Isaac 6:48

I'm doing the same. It has been three seconds since I last checked, the power drain is increasing exponentially. My large reactor core won't be able to hold up were much longer. My ship is heavier in mass and only carries 40 crew members. But it also carries all the housing structures we needed.

I no longer have enough power to change direction. The power drain is beginning to affect my core; I'm going into forced shutdown. I have 40 crew #@!$@%%^&&&&&^$

The Gabe: has disconnected

Celestial: Chase 6:50

My reactor core is going into meltdown. I attempted to eject the core. But, the gates lost power and wouldn't open. The command deck should survive the explosion but the :JLJH,G))*&_)*246_*

Celestial: has disconnected

Intrepid: Isaac 6:50

I'm going to attempt to land early. My crew has been safely evacuated to their cryo-pods. I've activated self-repair and defenses. Good luck Lucy.

Luciana: Lucy 6:51

All of my crew has been evacuated except my captain. I've been losing control over more and more of the systems. The automatic wake up of my cryo-pods has been disabled. I don't need any luck, but the captain does. Hopefully, he'll survive this and wake everybody up.

Intrepid: has disconnected

Luciana: Lucy 6:52

Going into full system shutdown.
