To the inner city and beyond.
Stardate: October 2024.
Time: just after lunch.
Am I going to have to take off my clothes in front of everybody?
(Thankfully for all involved, no.)
Jim, to his huge credit, excelled at what seemed to be one of the toughest jobs.
Every decision - power the engines!
- had an energy cost, and a need to ensure each system did not overheat.
On top of all that, there were those conduits, switches and fuses I mentioned earlier.
But hey, I felt that was very in character.
Should we now try and run?
Would it be better to go out pirate hunting, and get on the offensive?
At that point, the cavalry would rush in, and take the pirates unawares.
The remainder of the experience shifted in response to our plans, giving us an ending that felt organic.
Combat often felt a little all-encompassing and hectic, though perhaps fittingly so.
All in all, Bridge Command runs a tight ship.
The question is - can you?
