"Aye, I'll take a look at it when I get a chance lass" Grayson said as he plucked the tool from her hand and placed it back in his pocket "Let's get down and lend a hand ok?"
"Understood" Stryker said to Lataniva "Well, if he seems stable mentally, cut the connection, then help him up to the med bay. If you fear something else could happen, put him to sleep and drag him to the med bay. If the doc has a problem with it, tell him I just want a scan to make sure there's no more of that explosive shit inside him. I gotta do my part in gettin' the ship back online..."
About a week later.....
"Alright... where do I begin? Well, like any good story, at the beginning"
The Revenant had been fully repaired, and after extensive testing of their systems, the crew was finally back en-route to their destination. Stryker had received a message this morning from the handlers at the Alliance requesting a status update on why the ship had gone dark, and so, he was returning their call while still within range of a transmission capable sat-relay. He spent a few minutes covering the trip to Minos Station before explaining what had happened to the ship. He spoke at length about everything that had gone down on the ship from the moment the explosion killed them dead in the water, all the way up to the second the engines fired up. He recapped their (hopefully temporary) losses. Aside from Matija knocking herself out and being put into an induced coma in order to save her from any long-term neurological damage, the crew had also nearly lost Benny to high-voltage shock from an exposed wire that came into contact with his prosthetic arm. Maxi had been able to re-start his heart, but despite his vitals reading strong, the resident explosives expert hadn't woken up yet. An overloading surge from the first attempt to resuscitate the ship had also knocked Ren and his avatars completely offline. The old machine hadn't quite fully rebooted yet, but Stryker wasn't going to mention the parasitic AI anyway. Next, he rolled through some quick updates on the rest of the crew.
"Grayson and SAL really stepped up. They were really useful in organizing the repairs, and seem to get on well with the rest of the crew, Arex notwithstanding. Hope y'all don't have any rules against fraternization because there seems to be some sparks brewing between Grayson and Ms. Rosseau. They'll deny it of course, but I've caught a few glances being thrown around. SAL's worked tirelessly to salvage useful intel from the Federation Hunter Droid we captured. He's also re-purposed the remaining parts of the attack droids to create a body for an AI entity that's taken to calling itself Tobi. He assures me that it poses no danger to the crew thanks to some deft coding. Tobi's combat efficiency simulations are off the charts. I'm gonna be using him on this next mission to make up for the two missing crew members. I'm attaching the files to this transmission so you'll see what I mean. Arex has stabilized since the incident, doesn't seem to be any lasting damage from the explosion. Definitely doesn't seem to have done much for his personality at any rate. Everyone else is the same, business as usual. And since I have to report on everything, I guess I'll add in that the crew's opening up to one another, after all this time, it really seems like we've begun to work as a team. Alright, I'm done now. Fuck you Dawson"
He ended the message and began to encode it for transmission. The ship was still a few days out from their destination, but even still, in light of the incident, Stryker hadn't had time to even explain to everyone else where they were heading. Maybe today would be the day to rectify that.
An hour or so later, the message had been sent off and Stryker leisurely wandered down to the crew deck to begin preparing breakfast. It was late enough in the 'morning' now that everyone should be awake and getting ready to start the day, so he opened a line to the ship's PA system.
"Hey everyone, been getting some questions since we left Minos about where we're headed that I haven't been able to answer. You all know how busy the last few days have been, but still, I know that question is probably on everyone's mind, so if you want it answered, here's the deal: join me for breakfast in about 20 minutes and I'll tell ya everything. Stryker out"

Hi there, me again.
Sorry for going completely AWOL again. I recently started a new job and I've been saddled with a pretty shitty schedule- 11-7. It's my first 'real' job (outside of a brief experiment with working from home) in a year, so by the time I get home and eat and shower and all of that, I've been too exhausted to do anything other than collapse in front of the tv. I've got half of my situation-resolving, time skip-y post all drafted up, just need a couple of hours to finalize everything. Supervisor mentioned as I was leaving that I won't have a ton of work to do tomorrow, so I'm gonna work on it a little bit tonight, and if all goes well, I'll be able to finish up and post tomorrow night. I'm seeting a hard deadline for myself of Monday evening at the absolute latest, if I don't meet that deadline, I'll be posting my address with an open call to you all for a good old-fashioned witch-burning, torches and pitchforks provided!
I'm not familiar with Expanding Horizons, I'll have to check into it when I get a chance.

Ok then folks, looks like that's all of us except for the few that've been missing for awhile. I'll have my post up a little later on, once I compile all the thoughts that need to be expressed.
In the interest of full disclosure, here's my plan, marked as spoilers just in case any of you would rather not read:

My apologies for going dark on you all over the past 2 weeks, things have been pretty crazy. Just wanna do a little check in to see who's still around and ready to continue!

"Alright" Stryker decided, fairly confident that the situation was contained. He'd be sticking around to keep an eye on things here, but he felt it'd be pretty useless to have 3 of them standing around staring at Lataniva and Arex. He turned to Amy and Grayson, who had just returned carrying Amy's visor and an extra pistol.
"Just in case" the quartermaster muttered as he pressed it into the Captain's hands.
"I've got this" Stryker said "You two get down below and help out with the repairs"
Grayson nodded in response and he handed over Amy's visor.
"Got it, c'mon lass"
@Tickout
"I will return if there is any news" SAL said as he exited med bay. Logically it would make sense for him to proceed to the cargo bay and offer his technical skills to help with the repairs. However, seeing as it was closer, he instead headed in the direction of the cockpit.
@Turbowraith@Banana@Silver Carrot
As Grayson and Amy vanished around the corner, Stryker fished out his datapad to access the ship's PA controls, which were thankfully still active. His voice rang out both in the engine room and cockpit.
"Sensors are showing the temperature in the engine core is rising, anything on your end you can do about that Tibulus? Joe, I've sent a couple more down your way to help out, the sooner we can reset the engine, the sooner we'll be back at full power"

@BKburke (OOC: Let me know if you're cool with the shorthand for Tobi's name. If not, I'll come back later and edit it out! Wrote it in the moment and forgot to check if we'd discussed a different reason/meaning behind the name)
SAL had left behind a residual link, a spare piece of code that would function on his behalf, in the cyberspace. It addressed the new AI as if it were SAL himself.
"I have no history with conflicting directives. I am sorry but I cannot give a valid response. Calculating alternative...... This one's prime unit would suggest conversing with this vessel's Commanding Officer following the current emergency situation"
The residual blipped and whirred as it prepared a response to the second query.
"Before the ship lost power, we had begun transferring your core programs and constructs into a new platform, the Type-1 Operative Battle Interface, or TOBI for short. This unit has just enough residual energy remaining to finalize the transfer, all you need to do is accept"
@Tickout
"Unclear at this time" SAL responded "Initial scans report a burst of psionic energy from the Crew Deck, near the Quarters. This one appears to be the only one injured, I believe she hit her head on something in the immediate aftermath of the blast. Probable concussion. Anything else I can do to help?"
@Xandrya
Grayson stepped back from Arex's room as Stryker's crew arrived on the scene. Amy didn't have her visor and presumably was telling Stryker about that at the time.
"It's alright lass, I'll get it" he leaned in close and whispered as he snuck the gun he had in his waistband over to her hands "Just in case the cyborg goes nuts again. I'll be back in a second"
He headed off to the stairway quickly, keeping his eyes peeled for any sign of Amy's gear. After engaging his cyber-implant to boost his vision in the dark of the stairwell, he spotted it, tucked underneath a stair, and miraculously, in one piece. He breathed a sigh of relief before remembering he had an ulterior motive behind volunteering to go. He raced upstairs and slipped into the armory. Stryker didn't seem to be in the habit of carrying around his sidearms off-mission, but Arex sure was, and Grayson wanted an even playing field if the cyborg was hostile, or had just plain cracked. With a pair of BlackHammers tucked into his pants, Grayson raced off back to the Crew Deck.
@PlatinumSkink@Dark Light@Turbowraith@Banana@Silver Carrot@Azereiah
As Stryker was finalizing orders, Ren got back to him with a damage report. After reviewing it, Stryker thanked the AI construct and asked him to send out Renli, Rento, or both to help with repairs.
"Ok everyone, good news" he broadcast his voice throughout the ship "Cosmetically, we've got a bit of work to do to get the ship back in shape, but structurally, we're mostly fine. No hull breaches or anything like that. We had a carnifex manifold crack just above engine 2, and the leakage from that overloaded our main power, so Joe, Benny, you guys get on that. Tibulus, Taleste, gonna need you two to keep an eye on our systems, make sure nothing bottoms out completely, or we could end up in a whole other world of trouble. Stryker out"
He led the few remaining crew members down to just outside what used to be Arex's room, helping Amy a little where she required. Grayson stepped up just as they arrived, and swiftly headed off again. Stryker turned to look at Arex as the man spoke:
"It. It's not possible. Th, not that type. They. They can't have it. Not yet, not them, not that technology........... We're in over over our heads"
"What technology? What are you saying? Arex!" No response, but luckily, Stryker had a plan B.
"Lataniva, can you get inside his head? Find out what the hell happened and what he's talking about? Keep him calm if you can"
Stryker surveyed the damage done to the room, most of the surfaces were burnt to a crisp, the door lay in shards all around his feet. None of this was in Arex's dossier, just a note that he had psionic potential. He'd never say it out loud, but he agreed with Arex in that moment- they were in over their heads.

My post is gonna be a bit delayed. I've got to make a trip into the city early tomorrow, and when I get home, I've got a little get-together to attend, I might be able to sneak online long enough to get a quick post in, but by all accounts I'm officially MIA until Sunday

(Since @Turbowraith, @mackielars & @Rultaos are MIA, I'll have to use my Secret GM Powers of making their characters temporary NPC's)
"The station that got turned into a nuke a few years back?" Stryker remembered all the headlines as if they were yesterday "Millions dead, a planet laid to waste, billions in Galactic Creds trying to repair everything? Yeah I'm familiar, why do you ask?"
Before Tibulus could answer, it happened.
An explosion rocked the ship, it's vibrations sending a shockwave that brought everyone and everything aboard crashing to the floor. Alarms blared and emergency lights flashed as Stryker came to his senses.
"What in the..." He jumped up and engaged comms all over the ship, shouting to be heard over the alarms "IS EVERYONE OK? REPORT IN! REN, IF YOU'RE HEARING THIS, TURN THE FUCKING ALARMS OFF AND ASSESS THE DAMAGE!"
He turned back to Tibulus "you alright man? We need to get the ship back online, come on!"
Stryker ran out of the cockpit just in time to witness SAL emerge from the stairwell carrying Matija. He rushed over to help.
"I found her unconscious in her quarters. My analysis indicates she hit her head, probable diagnosis: concussion"
"Ok, SAL, stay up here and help him out..... MAXI!" Stryker bellowed across the hall into the med bay, SAL carried her lithe form into the room and quickly returned.
"There is one other matter I must address Stryker.... I've found myself drawn to save the "life" as it were of the one remaining Attack Platform drone, call it cybernetic empathy if you must. And in following your orders to acquire an decrypt Federation data contained on the captured Hunter Droid, I found it most prudent to meld the AI of the two drones into a single entity, a lone solution to two problems. I believe this new entity will help greatly, if you would allow it"
"Guess they never programed urgency into you huh?" Stryker said dryly "Listen, right now, I don't care what it is, if it can help, do it"
"Very well" SAL responded as it stomped back into the med bay to help Maxi.
------
Grayson and Amy had been walking down the stairs to confront Arex when the blast knocked them over. Grayson was slow to push himself back to his feet. Didn't feel like anything was broken, but he ached all over.
"Amy, you alright lass?" he said. Stryker's voice echoed in his ear, SAL rushed by carrying someone, he couldn't really make out who in the dark. After a moment, everything came back into focus and Stryker walked by to drag both of them down to the crew deck. He was in full-commander mode.
"Looks like the blast came from that room there" Grayson observed, and he inched closer to investigate.
"Ren should be doing a damage assessment now" Stryker said "Benny, Joe. You guys, the androids, and the robot SAL manufactured are on repair duty. Lataniva, gonna need you here, just in case. Tibulus, you gotta get the ship's systems back online, take Taleste to help you out. Grayson, Amy, I want you guys on standby. Let's get to the bottom of this"
Grayson had wandered over and now saw Arex standing silently in the middle of his destroyed room.
"Are ya fuckin' daft mate? What the fuck?"
