"Are you certain this is it? As a cargo handler, you're not exactly my first choice in reliability," says a cargo handler.
"It's an engine room. See? Engine in it. Spare power core in here, if it didn't break. I'm not authorized to know the lock..." says his partner.
"Of course you're not. Thank heavens," says the cargo handler.
The cargo handler's partner points his weapon towards the spare power core box to get it open but lucky Conrad walks in and says
"No, don't! Put away your weapon"
"Maybe you're right. Here use one of my grenades," says the cargo handler as Conrad starts trying to open the box.
"Ensign Vance, at your service. This man claims his name is Thaddeus Barnes, though I can't vouch for him," said Vance.
"I saved your life," said Barnes.
"Insubordinate to boot," said Vance.
Conrad was able to open the box and carefully, so carefully put the power core into the engine.
"Status repost," says Mia.
Conrad placed the power core into the engine while hearing Barnes say
"Don't let it touch the sides or we die."
"He knows," says Vance.
With the push of a button Conrad was able to re-boot the engine.
"Engines online," responds Conrad.
"We did it," shouts Barnes.
"Some of us did, you hit a button," mocks Vance.
Mia starts acting weird and causes the Leopold's engines to overload.
"What did you do now," asks Venice.
"Mia shut it dow," said Conrad.
"It's gonna blow," yells Barnes.
"What the hell happened," asks Conrad.
"I have no idea, but it is safe to say that the Leopold's computer is no longer reliable," Mia responds.
"Warning. Hull breach on hydroponics deck detected," says the Leopold's computer.
Right as the Leopold's computer gave its warning, Mia says
"As I see it, our only option is boarding the other vessel through that breach in hydroponics and trying to jiggle its engines online."
Conrad responds with shock in his voice,
"That ship that's hundreds of years old and thirty times our size? You want to jiggle?"
Mia responds with life threating news,
"The Leopold is entering the atmosphere in seventeen minutes and there is no way I can slow us down. If you have a better solution, I would like to hear it."
"Disconnect.... I'm boarding a ghost ship. Anyone coming?" Conrad asks.
"Actually, sir, Barnes here might need a hand with the breach" responds Venice.
"Fine. Take this tracking device...If I'm not back in an hour" says Conrad
"We'll come find you" yells Barnes.
As Conrad made his way to hydroponics, he met a massive army of aliens. He gunned them down and made his was way to breach. He pushed forward to the breach but when he arrived, the system required that he wore an Environmental Suit in order for him to cross into the ghostship. He doubles back to the Environmental Suit room while sending some aliens back to hell. The system finally allowed him to go through but when he got 10-20 feet for the door debris fell and blocked his way back.
"Well no turning back now," says Conrad.
With little resistance he crossed into the ghostship and sat down to rest his legs.
