[Gregg]Are there any suitable spots for an ambush hereabouts? It might be advisable to steal anougher ship before we land because this escape pod might not take off again

It won't, I guarentee.
We have lotsa neato parts that might help building a new ship, all we need to do is buy an old one with a solid hull and fix it up.

[Gregg]I'm sure we can come to some "arrangement" with the locals. At any rate, we haven't seen any other ships to steal and I think we're running out gas (this is only an escape pod after all). We should prepair to land this thing

[Nerd42] I'd say there's a 15% chance of breaking up during re-entry, a 5% chance of getting to a different planet now if we wanted to, and a 0% chance of taking off again wherever we land that has an atmosphere. So I say, land ho!

Before yelling battle stations, you might want to consider that activating the main guns costs energy we can ill aford to waste.

No, there wasn't any room. Laser cannons is all we've got.

"darn. but laser cannons don't take nearly as much energy as my engines do they? wouldn't it be insignifigant compared to the immense power required for fast interstellar travel?"
