31 Doomed

All is lost. It was impossible for me to write in this journal over the last few weeks.

Navigator Jake is dead and commander Sarah lost her left arm. I managed to survive with just a few bruises.

At first, all was going so well. Commander Sarah and I were in the cargo hull inducing latent images on the historical embryo; when all of the sudden, an entire fleet of spoiler ships surrounded us.

The spoiler fleet commanded ordered us to surrender our cargo at once or else. When we refused to give them the embyo, they fired directly at the cockpit to disable our ship. Poor navigator Jake got blown to pieces.

Commander Sarah had been making her way back to the cockpit when it happened and her arm was severed by falling debris.

I suffered no injuries because the cargo hull was not damaged. The bruises I got were courtesy of three spoilers who knocked me around when they boarded our drone to take the embryo.

We were left behind drifting in space with a disabled vessel.

Fortunately, two days later we were rescued by an Eldron merchant ship.
