OOC: This has nothing to do with arrows.

IC:
The passenger vessel had crashed into the planet 300 years ago,leaving a small oval crater. The passengers,and their offspring,and so on had tried to get the ship operational again. While on the planet they had stopped using names but instead they used numbers. Number 3456 who was the head mechanic was working on the vessel one day when he found something, a missing hydraulic hose,pinned to the power cell by a broken arrow. After reattaching the hose the engine fired up and all the controls were operational. 3456 had also attached makeshift mining equiptment to the vessel in hopes of making some money.

When everyone had borded they took off and set the coordinates for the nearest planet which had long been destroyed by a supernova. About halfway to their "destination" the engines failed and they were running out of food fast...

OOC: I can barely read your writing.

IC:
"Sir ten fighters are approaching, what shall we do?"
"Welcome them, show them we are not hostile pirates!"

As the fighters approached the ship the boarding doors partially opened showing that they were not hostile. Also they sent a transmission to the fighters that said, "We are a race of nonviolent people, our engines have failed leaving us drifting, we are running low on supplies and are in need of shelter. If you could help us we would be grateful and we would offer services to you."

OOC: Remember the communications on my ship dont work good.
