"Oh right…"
Claudy suddenly calmed down.
The realization struck him so hard, that it broke past all the mental defenses he built in the moment of absolute terror from before.
"We are down indeed…"
I turned my eyes back towards the vehicle's displays.
'We did it without that much of a damage, but…'
As insignificant in the long run as those were, we didn't lose any of the crucial subsystems of the ship.
After I pushed Maglev to its limits, the dampeners of inertia on the hypermagnets went offline from all the stress they had to endure. In other words, we could no longer rapidly change the flow of power to cushion rapid falls.
The next mountain or creek we would encounter, we would have no realistic way of passing.
But with the exception of a few systems the lack of which could prove, at most, annoying, the ship was still in a pretty good state.
