On the bridge, The Android and Two worked swiftly to assess the status of the ship amidst the chaos.
"It appears the ship has taken meteorite damage," The Android reported, "So that's why we were venting atmosphere," Two responded, piecing together the puzzle of their recent struggles.
"One of the four relays was also hit, causing a power surge that damaged multiple systems. It will take some time to repair them all." The Android continued.
"Do we have engines and navigation?" Two inquired.
"Yes," The Android confirmed.
"What about weapons?" Two pressed.
"The ship's weapons are down," The Android replied matter-of-factly.
"Then let's make that our next priority," Two declared.
"Alright," The Android agreed, Closing her eyes to execute the order through her neural link.
"No. Show me," Two insisted.
Suddenly, an alarm blared through the bridge, jolting both The Android and Two into action.
"What is that?" Two demanded, her senses on high alert.
"It appears another vessel has entered our scanning range," The Android reported calmly.
"And their course?" Two asked, her voice tight with concern.
"They're headed straight for us. But I don't believe they intend to render assistance," The Android replied, her analysis swift and precise.
"Why not?" Two questioned,
"Because they just launched missiles," The Android stated, "Time to impact, sixty seconds,"
As tension filled the air, Two's mind raced, seeking a solution to their dire predicament.
"What can we do?" Two asked urgently, her eyes fixed on the approaching threat.
"The ship is also equipped with various countermeasures I can initiate. Would you like me to show you?" The Android offered, "Just do it!" Two snapped.
The ship began to move, evading the incoming missiles with swift precision.
"Based on our current acceleration, time to impact is now forty seconds," The Android reported. "We can't outrun it?" Two questioned, her brow furrowed in concern.
"I'm already pushing our engines past maximum," The Android replied, her tone indicating the limitations of their current situation. "What about a jump to FTL?" Two suggested, grasping at any possible solution.
"We don't have time to execute the necessary nav calculations," The Android explained.
"Options!" Two demanded, her voice tinged with desperation.
"I could attempt further evasive maneuvers, but at these speeds, they may overtax our artificial gravity and inertial dampeners," The Android proposed, weighing the risks against the potential benefits.
"Do it," Two commanded, her resolve unwavering as The Android initiated the evasive movements.
As the ship maneuvered with unprecedented agility, the crew felt the effects of the intense acceleration. The artificial gravity wavered, causing disorientation among the crew as they struggled to maintain their footing.

Seven sat engrossed in the pages of the medical textbook, he suddenly felt a peculiar sensation—a weightlessness that defied explanation.
"Whoa," he exclaimed, his voice filled with surprise as he looked around the room.
However, the weightlessness proved to be fleeting, lasting no more than two minutes before gravity reasserted its dominance with a forceful reminder.
