Stranded in uncharted space, Karma is finding it harder to keep information from the crew.
But what she knows will affect their chances of survival.
At least with the crew knowing about the device it means that she can work with them to get it back online and find a way home.
That would be the plan, but for a pesky distress call.
A distress call they have to answer.
The problem with responding to distress signals in unknown space, with untold threats all around, is that you also run the risk of needing to send out your own distress call.
Which presupposes that there are friendly folks somewhere around. And that you’re not going to attract the attention of any lurking hostiles.
Not only that, but their side quest could very well result in losing crew members.
And we’re not just talking about red shirts.
