We had received distress transmissions from a derelict vessel located in this system. As Sol policy states, we were to commence SAR operations as soon as possible to recover the survivors. It is a simple mission. We navigate to the derelict. We board the derelict. We rescue the survivors. We return to the Torch. It now seems that I cannot trust the exploration crew to do the most simplest of tasks.
I was standing by the airlock, informing the explorers of their mission and to keep radio contact with I, when an explorer decided to press the "open the airlock door and vent the room into space" button. Thankfully, the explorers all had their magnetic boots enabled, ensuring that they were not swept into space. Except for Senior Explorer Jones, who I could see was spiraling out into the void. Unfortunate.
The explorers started their spacewalk towards the derelict, and they were out of my vision. I held my shortwave radio in my hands, awaiting their signal that they had boarded the derelict. I waited for quite some time. Eventually, the radio crackled into life. Something about how they were "over-run" and how there was "an unreasonable amount of deadly space fish" inside the derelict. I reprimanded them for not signalling when they had boarded the ship, and I received silence as a response. This trend continued for quite some time.
Mission Report:
Senior Explorer Jones: MIA
Explorer Davidson: MIA
Medical Technician Bobby: MIA
Recommended course of action: Return to SEV Torch and request an SAR for the exploration crew.
