Lancaster calling Earth, can anybody hear me? I will continue to repeat this
message as long as the ship's antenna is facing the right direction. We are
stranded and without power beyond basic life support. After the mutiny the
entire station was stranded with only minimal facilities and asteroid
shielding. No propulsion, no weapons, no guidance systems, not even lights.

TickTock is attempting to cobble together some kind of distress beacon,
but it will require cannibalizing this microwave radio for parts. I will
continue to repeat this transmission for the next hour, after which this
system will go off line. I only hope that someone in the clear will receive
this transmission and be listening when the directional beacon is set off. We
are not ourselves sure of our own position.

The station is turning the Earth out of arc now. I will attempt contact
again in approx. 30 minutes. Until theZZZZKT]<<<<<
