The Captain sprang from his chair, causing it to flip across the deck as the ship shuddered about them. "Not responding!" Another yelled back. "Helm going down." "Multiple hull breaches" Another report came from across the shattered deck. "Damage to engineering!" "Rep," The Captain glanced over. "Get to engineering! Help get the systems back on line. We need shields and weapons now!" "On it.!" The Reptilian responded as he burst into a full run. He gave the Captain a stern glare as he bolted past him. They both knew that he had gave the warning about this region of space, but neither said a word further. The situation was rapidly approaching a total ship failure, and they knew it."
