Mail from 'Captain Damien Manahan'
Sky Marshal, I'm with the techies on the bridge, and things are worse than I thought. We have holes in the ship. Meteors, enemy fire, who knows, something hit us hard. Our armor is shot to hell, but the worst part is... Well, we have a man sized hole right through the central computer storage area. It looks like automated emergency protocols went into effect, rerouting everything through backup systems, but it doesn't seem to have been enough.
Whatever happened, it killed the AI in a big way, blew us off course, and royally screwed up the cryo system. We're extremely lucky to be alive, commander. Also, it killed the clock. I've tried getting the date a few times, it's Day One, Month One, Year One, every time. Add to the fact that the navigational database is gone, (Literally. It's floating around somewhere out there.) and we could be anywhere, anywhen. We could be right next door (galactically speaking) to the Ulherr system, or we could be in a different galaxy. We could be a few years late waking up, or a billion.
I'll keep poking around up here for now. I have an idea what happened after we were hit, but I have a few things to check before I say it was even possible. Manahan out.

Mail from 'Colonel Sara Parente'
Sky Marshal, I'm in command of the inventory mission. So far, most everything that is here is in good shape. It looks like there have been a few blowouts in the past, but we don't really know what was lost... Anyway, we have enough guns, ammo, and suits to turn a good sized continent into a crater, if we only had the men to use them. We'll have accurate counts in a few days. Food and supplies are in good shape too.
Where we're really hurting is the naval side. We have three Kaman class sensor ships, three Tapi class laser cruisers, and three Qatar class missile cruisers. That's not even a tenth of the fleet. No dreadnoughts for us, I guess. ;_; The good news is that the ships we have seem to be in good working order. Mostly. They do have full magazines, at least.
Ps: I think we've been in route far longer than was planned. I'm not sure how long, but when we opened up some of the food lockers whose cryo systems had failed... It's just indescribable. I knew MREs were horrible, but that was... Oh hell, back to work before I get the shakes again. Parente out.
