From: Captain Evharsen
To: RSF
investigations department.
It had been
approximatly 2 weeks since RSF Gravlaw experienced a minor emergency
situation. After a full investigation, the official reason for the
accident was a failed sensor (catalog no. En-464l577h3484) which had
not detected the slow corrosion of the power infeed to Magnetic
Generator number four. The subsequent failure of the generator after
a restart of the engine had caused a fault in the magnetic
thrust funnel, shunting thrust off to one side instead of straight
back as it should have. The resulting thrust aberration forced the
ship into a rotation which lasted around two minutes during which the
stress upon the hull reached a level of 128% of maximum recommended
hull stess. The ship proved unresponsive to bridge control during the
incident, the cause of which is still under investigation. Minor
stress damage to the hull was done, as well as the formation of a
crack in the Reaction mass containment tube, which has been sealed.
Minor crew injuries have all been treated. Due to this incident, our
arrival to our destination will be delayed by approximatly 2
weeks.
