- I can jettison fuel bays! I saw that feature on my first day in the control room! Where the heck was it…?
- It takes all the strength I have to lift my arm to the screen, but I manage to bring up the Astrophage panel. It shows a map of the ship and the fuel-bay area is broken up into nine rectangles. I don’t have time to cross-reference these rectangles to the part of the bad hull. I grunt, force my arm forward, and tap one that I think is in the right place.
- “Throwing…away…bad…fuel bay…” I say through clenched teeth.
- “Yes yes yes!” Rocky says, cheering me on.
- The Fuel Pod screen pops up: astrophage 112.079 kg. Next to that, a button labeled “Jettison.” I punch it. A confirmation dialog pops up. I confirm.
- A sudden jerk of acceleration hurls me to the side. Even Rocky is unable to hold position. He slams into the side of his bulb but quickly rights himself and clamps onto his handholds with all five hands.
