1233 Unprecedented Invitation

"Warning! Warning! Left wing engine failure. Insufficient energy supply. Brace! Brace!" 

Just as the ship was slowly moving out of the dock, a warning blared around the bridge. 

"What happened?" Akatziris roared. 

"Leader! We do not have enough manpower to control each of the ship's controls!" Bennette Straz cried as he handled most of the delicate controls. 

They were already lacking in manpower, and those that were already manning other controls were suddenly re-assigned to divert power into the left engine, which in turn, left the posts empty and unmanned. Even though they were flawless in design, they were not designed to have multiple copies of themselves.
