CHAPTER 3: A HOLE IN THE ACE
February 23rd 2025Sunday
Wheels Up + 00:26:34
SIMULATION ENGINE RUNNING
TIMEFLOW INTERRUPTED
You are now: ZIXINUS, ETERNAL FREEDOM, PHANT, REPAIR GUY, LARGE WOUNDED DOG, COMBAT JANITOR, SMARMY AMERICAN SAILOR, TROPICAL BEAUTY, IVAN IVANOV, INSANE HISTORIAN, MAD SCIENTIST, CHEEKY BETTY, RI'ANN SHAPP, UNEXPECTED PASSENGER and FUCKER NEWTON (goddamn that's a lot of people!)TIMEFLOW INTERRUPTED
You are on a SPACEPLANE. The SPACEPLANE was recently on FIRE. You are at an ALTITUDE of 140 kilometres. You are not ASCENDING. You are in FREEFALL. You are WELL PAST the APOAPSIS of your TRAJECTORY.
Your UNEXPECTED PASSENGER seems to have WOKEN UP. He BEGINS to CHANT. The CHANT is OMINOUS. He draws the IRE of MAD SCIENTIST. Despite MAD SCIENTIST being DRUG INSPIRED he MANAGES to be SUSPICIOUS of UNEXPECTED PASSENGER'S motives.
His SUSPICIONS begin to BEAR FRUIT when the UNEXPECTED PASSENGER begins to SPONTANEOUSLY HEAL his HORRIBLE WOUNDS.
FUCKER NEWTON SCREAMS.
ZOMBIE PANIC BITES FUCKER NEWTON.
While EVERYONE is FOCUSED on UNEXPECTED PASSENGER and his SUDDEN and MYSTERIOUS HEALING, COMBAT JANITOR RUSHES to SAVE his FRIEND and NEARLY kills you ALL. AGAIN.
ZIXINUS PREVENTS COMBAT JANITOR from VOIDING your SPACEPLANE. AGAIN.
RI'ANN SHAPP is DRAGGED ABOARD by ZIXINUS. RI'ANN SHAPP is UNCONSCIOUS. RI'ANN SHAPP might be SUFFERING from HYPOTHERMIA and some other EXOTIC MALFORMATIONS caused by his LEAKING SPACESUIT. However, he has DRAWN a GRAPH on the SPACESUIT showing his MISSION was ACCOMPLISHED.
ETERNAL FREEDOM manages to REGAIN enough SENSES to LOCK OUT the INNER AIRLOCK DOOR.
MAD SCIENTIST realizes he should HELP. He BRIEFLY abandons EVIL PLANS towards UNEXPECTED PASSENGER and HELPS ZIXINUS do ARCANE CALCULATIONS.
ARCANE CALCULATIONS result in KNOWLEDGE you should be able to HIT OKHOTSK on your NEXT ORBIT provided the AUSSIES don't SHOOT YOU DOWN. Barring that, you will most DEFINITELY be ABLE to hit RUSSIA in GENERAL. It is not PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT.
While that HAPPENS, SUAVE PLAYBOY takes SHAMELESS ADVANTAGE of TROPICAL BEAUTY'S drugged-up STATE. They are INTRODUCING much CHAOS in the CABIN. As if it NEEDED any MORE.
REPAIR GUY begins to PANIC for no REASON. He FEARS that you are CRASHING. MAD SCIENTIST PROVES with MATH you are not, in fact, in DANGER of DYING due to MEETING some hard TERRAIN. Yet.
REPAIR GUY CALMS DOWN and REQUESTS some SPARE PARTS. SUAVE PLAYBOY tries to LOOK for SOME but is too BUSY molesting TROPICAL BEAUTY to DO that before RE-ENTRY BURN. Or AFTER.
ETERNAL FREEDOM performs the BURN with GUSTO. He TRIES to PRETEND it's pretty BADASS, but in REALITY he just PROGRAMMED the COMPUTER to do that.
You are FIFTEEN minutes from ENTRY INTERFACE. Things are GETTING quite NERVOUS.
SUDDENLY two THINGS happen at the SAME TIME.
REPAIR GUY STICKS his HEAD under the BURNED OUT FLOOR and ASCERTAINS the HYDRAULIC LINES leading towards the WINGS are COMPLETELY DESTROYED.
MAD SCIENTIST realizes you will SLOW DOWN to a SPEED that allows ATMOSPHERIC MANEUVERS some 400 KILOMETRES from OKHOTSK if you RE-ENTER on your CURRENT TRAJECTORY.
There is 8% of MAIN ENGINE FUEL left. There is NO ANSWER from the MISSILE DEFENCE BATTERY. They MIGHT be too CONCENTRATED on PLOTTING their FIRING SOLUTION to TALK.
You are THIRTEEN MINUTES from ENTRY INTERFACE.
What do you do? _

Re: Let's play: SCRAMming up!
MAD SCIENTIST says "Oh BALLS."
Consults with ZIXINUS and other RESPONSIBLE CREW MEMBERS, preferably including ETERNAL FREEDOM if he is back in BADASS PILOT MODE and out of RAVING LUNATIC MODE.
Considers: we can't maneuver the plane in atmosphere with the hydraulics shot out. We have no fuel left to do anything but reenter and pray the surface to air missiles don't hit us. We might at least be able to influence our point of entry.
Am I missing anything?

RCS thrusters will still work, so you can bank and pitch somewhat, like a beached whale. There is still a little time to shift the trajectory a bit, but it will consume fuel.

Then we need a course that lines us up for a landing at Okhotsk as well as possible, bearing in mind that we will not be able to make major course changes quickly.

We are also working on a BACKUP PLAN that involves use of the RCS ALONE, but this will probably NOT WORK.
