The Ark hummed softly as it settled on the forested ground, the crew inside breathing a collective sigh of relief. They had just come out of a hyperspace crash, barely holding the ship together after an intense firefight with the Vrak fleet. The familiar hum of the ship's systems felt like a lullaby after the chaos they had just endured.

Prella sat cross-legged on the floor, catching her breath, while Vala inspected her blaster ensuring it hadn't been damaged during the crash. Nova, as always, was connected to the ship's systems, processing the events that had just unfolded.
"Is everyone still in one piece?" Ethan asked, glancing around the room.
