Pulling up charts, Silver looks for the nearest feasible starport to perform repairs.

"Anything of salvageable and sellable value that we could secure on board the card to help cover the costs of installing the sensors?"

While we were working did any of us see the bugs Ajit spotted, and if so in what circumstances? (In vacuum or pressurised areas for example). If we're going to put the ship through the Stellar Autoclave Njall thinks it would be a good idea to check through the cargo, see if there's anything either small and valuable or likely a source of contamination - perhaps there's a port-of-origin code so we can avoid containers from the asteroid belt that caused the trouble. Maybe see if one has been breached. (Njall is paranoid about diseases and such, but he'd rather have all the information available..).

Krakrefr feels somewhat relieved that the doctor didn't found anything and starts to remove his suit. The air hisses as he unclaps the helmet and he brushes his sweaty mane. He goes to the kitchen, grabs some wafers and an instacaf and goes to the bridge. "We didn't found anything worth much, just bits and pieces. I would like to know more about that colony though, it may be helpful to avoid the infection or maybe the information worths something to someone… " he wolfs down the remaining wafers. "I agree with Shuth, better to burn the ship if these bugs seem to survive in vacuum."

Ajit is also relieved to hear that he is free of infection and after cleaning up a bit from working on the sensors, joins the discussion about how to handle the Elena. "I say we crash her into a nearby planet with lots of gravity and an atmosphere. If the bugs came from an asteroid and evidently prefer the vacuum of space, they likely can't handle high gravity and an atmosphere. The explosion from the crash ought to kill the majority of them and any that survive that should die quickly enough in the foreign, hostile environment."

"I am a decent enough pilot to handle one of the ships, if we want to get the Elena moving under her own power, but if not then we can set up some tow-lines and get her moving, then detach and let gravity do the rest of the work."

In Character: : Maiokus hears Ajit and starts to do calculations in the navigation computer to determine how long it would take to tow and "Shove" the Elena into the Gas Giant or other celestials. "Though with those bugs being an issue, what if someone else stumbles upon them and they spread to the starport?"

Out of Character: : Astrogation skill +2 INT +1.

Silver looks over Maiokus' shoulder when he starts plotting Nav Coords. "How about launching her into a star?"

"A star's gravity should pull the Elena in and then the intense heat will destroy everything, right?"

The star would be favourite, but it is a very long way. It'll take days to get near enough, plenty of time for nasty little things to crawl over to us. The pressures, temperatures, and toxic atmosphere of the nearby Gas Giant should destroy a Vacc Bug. They'll certainly crush, and possibly vapourise, the Elena.

"That is true a gas giant usually has a strong gravitational pull that can kill most things. I believe that some people have said that a gas giant is a star that for some reasons never ignited. We can nudge her into the planet and not expose us any more to the possible bugs."
