. It's been a couple of hours since the *Penumbra* crashed on a tiny frozen moon of an enormous gas giant in the Shadow Dimension. A rather complex Damage Report was posted last week with details of the damage sustained and lives lost.
. Of the total 175 individuals aboard the *Penumbra*, 26 lost their lives either in the explosion of the Ventral Starboard Nacelle, the heat of our streaking through the atmosphere of a gas giant and nearly half-impulse speed, or the crash and skid along the surface of the moon. Many more have injuries ranging from serious to moderate. And there are 129 persons that were evacuated and are beginning to be sorted out in an emergency processing center consisting of inflatable domes erected on the surface of the moon.
. Marines and Engineering crews have dug through the several feet of dirt, rocks, ice, and other debris that covers the upper hull of the ship. We've regained access to a couple of the upper airlocks and began cycling "critical" personnel back to the ship. The Commodore declared that the priority was Medical and Engineering personnel to restore the crew and the ship to a functional level. Those teams have now secured most of the injured in Sickbay and stabilized power to the less-damaged decks. We have the use of the main Transporter Rooms on Deck 4, as well as the Cargo Bays on that deck, and personnel are beginning to be beamed aboard in groups.
. Teams have begun clearing an opening into the Main Hangar Bay on Deck 10. That deck was heavily damaged and has no power, not even emergency power, but at least it's a large, flat space to use for our auxiliary craft to come and go to the Penumbra (though anyone exiting a sealed craft would have to use EVA suits until we can restore power and erect force-fields).
. Delta Flight is running two patrols, 4 Flyers each, to stand watch while the others get rest. The *Cerberus*, unoccupied and piloted only by it's onboard AI, AEGIS, is also patrolling. The *Canteen of Sparkles* is parked near the emergency domes along with the 4 grounded Flyers, 4 Runabout Shuttles, 3 Cargo Runabouts, and 8 Workerbees. These craft will be returned to the Hangar Bay once we've cleared enough space.
