3 Crash landing part one- Chapter 3

*Powering on*.... It has been 75 days since last on. ship power at 1%.... error estimated power 65%... solar power failure... systems check... solar panels damage: none. Surveying Solar Systems Star.... Star has been blotted out... it appears to be a theoretical Dyson sphere although that is not confirmed... Power at 0% percent... switching to reserve power... estimated time until shutdown... 27 minutes... system was supposed to have a habitable world... it seems the loss of the sun's heat has killed all life on the planet... extremely disappointing... this planet also has huge deposits of Larinium, which was theorized to be able to be used as fuel if purified but large amounts could never be found... *Preparing an controlled crash landing on the planet*... correction "emergency landing". Charting course to receive least damage to the ark... 25 minutes until shutdown... preparing to shutdown all unneeded systems... 1 hour and 20 minutes until power shutdown... entering orbit of planet... expending power to break through the orbit... 30 minutes of power remaining... emergency landing protocols initiated... *bkkkkkkkkkksssssssss* Landing completed... damage report... damage to hull is 20%... construction bots powering on... mission- mine as much Larinium as the fuel hold can carry... General use bots powering on... Mission- prepare the purification materials in the main dock. Why does the ship have a fuel hold but no fuel? Query- In the early design the ship was supposed to move to other worlds regularly to resupply on fuel. 20 minutes until power shutdown. The construction bots have returned... the fuel will take an estimated 30 minutes to purify completely.... 17 minutes until power shutdown. What would happen if we put the fuel in early? Query- high probability of large explosion. How much time would the power allow for if we shut down Administrative AI? Query- There would be 26 minutes of time. General use bots- in 25 minutes remove the partially purified Larinium and place it in the fuel hold and activate the fuel hold... *new protocol* reactivate in 27 minutes. *shutting down*.....
