Just to confirm things...Do I now own this vessel?
Yes. Ownership transfer recorded, startime 50401. Shi now the property of Sire Falcon of the royal court on Deldronis.
Marvellous!
That will be all for now.
Very good sir.
Computer.
Insufficient power to process enquiry...This is a carbo replican recording...
Listen, computer. I`ve just had a look at the long range sensors, and a laviathan beasty is sucking all the ships power up. What is it?
Accessing...
My databanks contain data on the configuration, but they have been archived for hundreds of years. Do you wish me to retrieve them?
Listen computer, can`t you just extract the general facts. I don`t really want to sit down to three years of continual viewing. By the time I`d finish, the damn thing will have flew away!
Affirmative. Boosting processing, new time, three seconds...
Data Ready.
Well, compie, what`s the news?
We`re doomed.
WHAT!! Explain.
The vessle being tracked is a Debreen Salvager...Known to be a prototype constructed millenia ago. The Debreen are explorers who have foregone the work of recording research data and just add everything to their land.
Land?
The Debreen regard their ship as an Island. A world. It is their home, and since their original launch have never left it. Their isolationism is mainly through ignorance rather than arrogance.
So where is the threat? Why DOOMED as you so colourfully put it.
Records indicate they have already begun the phase of amendment. They intend to, for simplicity, weld the hull of your ship to their bulk. Such a breach will result in your immediate death. DOOMED was my conclusion.
Aah! I see. Well, we better slap them on the rists and tell them to go away, yes?
The Debreen don`t even have arms...I suggest an aggressive course of action in this case.
Your best chance of survival is to pilot this ship to THIS area...The navigation data has now been downloaded to the main computer. You don`t have much time.
Computer, have we arrived at your calculated vectors.
Yes. Your ship will be invaded shortly, the environment will be compromised. Suggest you prepare to board the Debreen vessle.
Me? Get on that big thing. Why? I want to fly off into the solarset and enjoy my new spaceship.
In less than one hour, your ship will be cut up and glued to your arse if you don`t get a move on. Your choices are restricted to a violent death now, or a delayed one on board the Island of Debreen. It`s your choice!
Good point, where`s the door?
Airlock One stands ready for your arrival...I have deactivated all security and maintenance activity for your safety.
Computer, I need further assistance before my departure.
You need to get a move on, if you want to keep 95% of your limbs!
Computer, my brains are exploding with annoyance! Help me!
The closest planet with a good shrink is over three million light years away. I expect you will want to delay your appointment for the time being.

Am I now the owner of this space craft?
Will the Medivians be able to defeat me?
Could I be breached with a CO shield?
Yes, you gained ownership of this craft on the 5th of Bugal, this year. The previous owner was C`ptn Cyberious Tronnick of the `Spam Syndicate`.
Most definatly, because this ship in not a very powerful one, the medivians would destroy it for fun, because of this i care not to think about it.
Considering the differant factions in the equations and the technological advancments of the afore mentioned race the chances of survival would be 35%
Good, very good.
I take it that an advanced ship that is imobilized from an attack would be boarded and stripped of all usful equipment?
That is not a very good, what wepeons or sheilds would i need to tip the balance?
Is that all sir?
Your assumption is correct sir.
A class `G` sheild and a Phaze 2 Disrupter would raise the chance of survival to 54% but with a class `A` sheild the chance of survival would equate to 82.7%
Yes please.
No.
How long will it take?
I shall begin immediately...
Very well.
Two hours, twelve minutes, sixteen seconds. Data length, three years of continual playback.
