Transcript
Panel 1:
SFX: EXPLODE!
Crewman Glana: Gah!!

Panel 2:
Ensign Vern: Medic!
    Chief, the plasma seal!
SFX: *SEAL!*
Tech Chief Hawkins: Hang on... I've got it!

Panel 3:
Hawkins: Bridge! We've sealed the leak, but we lost the starboard nacelle!
    Our warp bubble is destabilizing. We have to shut down the core!
    We're switching to the impulse fusion reactors. It's our only chance!

Panel 4:
Colonel Hank Reynolds: Can we make it through this without the warp core?
Major Ulbek: Unknown. We are nearing the edge of the storm. Power levels are critical.
    Regardless of survival.. we will not have enough power to fuel even impulse engines.
    That will be insufficient to maintain orbit.
Hank: Then that's it.

Panel 5:
Hank: Attention all crewmen... this is Acting Captain Reynolds.
    Shield levels are critical. I intend to use this ship until it breaks apart to protect the planet.
    Therefore, I will take control remaining systems from the bridge. All crew report to escape pods. Abandon ship.
    Did you hear me? I said abandon ship.
Major Taylor: With all due respect, sir... not again.
Ulbek: Indeed.
Hank: Are you all crazy? We don't need to all die.

Panel 6:
Hawkins: We're not crazy, sir... this ship hasn't thrown in the towel yet.
    And you may not be fully aware... she doesn't need to maintain orbit to stay in one piece.
    We just need impulse engines to get through the last of the storm.... then hopefully there's enough in the batteries to run the reserve thrusters.
    I think we can do this. You with me, crew?

Panel 7:
Crewman Blok: Certainly.
Crewman Jeena Jones: Hell yeah!
Vern: I wouldn't bet against this old girl!
Glana: Me too, Chief!R Hawkins: You hear that? We'll keep her running. Just fly her straight!

Panel 8:
Hank: Well then... let's make it happen.

Panel 9:
Lieutenant Zack LeRoux: And you can land this thing, right?
Helmsman Talia: Sure... I did it in the simulator.
    I mean... in the simulator the ship had impulse and warp power.
    But I'm sure I can muddle through it.
