Once clear of the disrupting effects of the field on communication's
systems, your communication officer receives an S.O.S. from one
of the colonist's planetary hopper craft with no signs of help on
the way. And since the authority codes check out, the captain
orders a diversion to the outer planet in the system, the source
of the signal. The two engines roar to life with a mighty thrust
as the maneuvering retros flair up for aiming control. The
communication officer relays a reply to the distress call as the
navigation officer informs the captain of the dangers of
unauthorized schedule changes. Regardless of the dangers posed by
the rescue mission, the captain continues to lead her ship
onwards towards the distressed planet hopper. A moment later, you
arrive at the planet. You can see the crippled planet hopper just
barely making a stable orbit around the dark side of the planet.
You wait patiently as the S.S. Monte Hue grapples onto the hopper
with four tow clamps. Then, after reeling in the shuttle, the
Monte Hue swings around and heads back to the main route, just in
time to meet up with the first wave of pirates on the attack.
