The shock wave from the super nova hits the spaceship with such force it temporarily knocks all the humans aboard unconscious. If there is any silver lining to this story, their ship was on the far edge of the shock wave and they only encountered a very minor magnitude of the blast. Any further in and they would have been crushed flat! Also, luckily for them (hopefully luckily???), they all survived and no one seems to have any serious injuries. Just some bruising and scrapes from being flung around inside the cabin from the force of the blast. They will certainly have very sore muscles as the shock effects begin to wear off. Everyone seems to regain consciousness about the same time. Even Silo has come out of his medically induced slumbers and groggily slurs questions about what is going on. Jake and Janax have gone up into the ship's controls and are trying all the electronics. Everything seems to be knocked out of whack and isn't responding to any of their adjustments, tweaks and attemptes at activation. Red Rover suggests, 'If I can get out through the air lock, I suggest that I make a thorough external inspection of the ship. Perhaps there might be a way to get sub-space communications working again and we can send a distress signal.' he trills. 'Sounds like an excellent idea to me!' says Janax and Jake and Jorge nod their heads in agreement. To everyone's relief, Red is able to get outside the ship though the air lock without causing any loss of pressure inside the ship. Soon, he is seen walking along the hull. One of the handy designs of Red's body are the magnetic soles in his feet. He has no difficulty walking along the hull of the ship. The prognosis is not good at all. There are extensive breaches in the outer hull and buckles in the sheet metal. The long communication antenna on the front of the ship is bent all out of shape. This might explain why the electronics aren't working as they should. Red does some scans of the antenna and can see there are many breaks in the circuitry. It will take quite a lot of work splicing them back together. Probably more than he can do on his own. Maybe someone can come outside in the one space suit onboard and help him with the work?
