>Put Boil into cryostatis.
>TALK: ASK BOIL if he knows the NATURE of his INJURY, and if it can be TREATED in situ. Additionally, ASK if he PREFERS to stay CONSCIOUS and part of the CREW or would like to be placed into CRYOSLEEP until we reach a DESTINATION of his choosing.
"Come with me Maintainer. We can put you into cryostasis until we find more appropriate treatment."
Boil lets out a heavy sigh and stands. "Lead the way."
"Can you describe your condition? What can be done?"
"My ribs are fractured. When I grabbed your friend back there, I knew it to be the case." He groans and you wait for him. "I made a splint earlier, but something tells me you bugmen don't have any advanced medicine or technology on hand."
"Astute inference. This is all we can do for you at this moment."
You make a flourish and let Boil enter the cryochamber room first. You shudder, having no wings to warm yourself.
[ENGINEERING] Boil's eyes open in wonder at the sight of the cryochamber.
[REMNANT OF PSYDONIA] "This is from before the BUGCHUD. In pristine condition! How did you find this?"
[PARANOIA] You twitch violently. "Maintainer, you do not have sufficient access to make this inquiry. Do not question the machines."
"..."
"DO NOT QUESTION THE MACHINES."
Boil stares at you with a rather pained expression.
"I understand, Captain." He places a reverent hand to the glass.
[MOTH] This is a rather cheap but serviceable model, with the cryosickness lasting days rather than hours.
[INTERFACING] Without much difficulty at all, Boil begins to manually prepare the cryochamber for stasis.
[You have an idea.]
>TALK: Is there any way to flag the cursed station as a hazard warranting destruction? There must be something we can do to warn others. Maybe just start beaming a signal out from where we are that contains a message from us - anyone entering the region should receive the signal at some point. A comms bouy to repeat it would be ideal, but not a necessary sacrifice methinks.
The engineer pauses, hems, then gives a slow, approving nod.
[ENGINEERING] "It can be done within the hour. I just need a few pieces of scrap to make a signal amplifier."
"You have my permission to use what we have left. Dismissed."
-9 SCRAP (0 REMAIN)
>Use: OBFUSCATION ENGINE
You make note to activate the ENGINE at the ship's command center when you get there. You will hide all ship signals at an additional cost of 5 fuel per Jaunt or Jump.
>Use CLAW to DAMAGE/DESTROY the STATION STABILIZERS, ensuring it will fall out of orbit sooner rather than later.
Impossible! You cannot punch a station out of orbit with your bare claws!
Hmmm. No other issues are pressing. Zhang is most likely preening himself in his room or doing that sword prayer, idle as always.
INFORMATION: When you finish your business at a location, you can go to the command center, interface with a Navigator to scan the sector, and prepare to travel to the next location.
