Is this quiet permanent? It's a little unnerving.

We haven't seen any sign of it from the shuttlebay.
It's not the first time a ship system has gone haywire. First I've heard of it leaving us dead in the water.
Probably going to involve unpleasantness to fix it.

[fullmoon]

Excellent.

If someone went outside, could they travel around the ship to see if there's anything outside the view of the windows?
Or is that too far & too dangerous?

[dino_zarf]

We'd have to check if we have suits for EVA. Unless you mean a shuttle run.

[fullmoon]

I have no idea what I mean, honestly.

[dino_zarf]

We can probably scout around outside with one of the shuttles, though that risks damage to something so much smaller. Sending someone outside to actually touch components on the outside of the ship gets trickier, especially with this cloud.

[fullmoon]

I don't know if it's worth the risk. If people are worried we're being followed, it's just a little alarming to be stuck in place and only have eyes in one direction. Do you have any gadgets that could help with that?

[dino_zarf]

Those sort of sensors are usually up on the bridge. Which we can't get to. It almost ended really badly the last time folk tried.

[fullmoon]

You mean the mutiny?

[dino_zarf]

That's the one.

[fullmoon]

Were you involved?

[dino_zarf]

No, I'm not usually the storming anything type
