I took a bit of a break from working on Strebepfelier to investigate a news report. I know we don't usually go off local news, but this one was too good to turn down. Apparently there was some sort of internal issue aboard Krupp Munitions, the report was nonspecific as to what. Anyway, figured I could take a few minutes to go down and have a bit of a look.
For once, the news wasn't exaggerating. Krupp was in pretty bad shape. It was hard to tell from the distance I was at, but sensors flagged fires aboard. Hard to say if it was spot shield failures or actual atmo burn, but neither's particularly good news for a station. A trio of Military battleships and a couple of fighters that I'd assumed rocked up to help with the evacuation instead focused on keeping people away from the station (and took a few potshots at me, might I add. For 'piracy' in open space. Go figure. If I didn't know better, I'd swear I'd fallen in with criminals. Again.) I pulled back at that point, but kept an eye on the sensors.
Mass sensors stopped returning a signature a couple of hours later. I'm glad to report the station, and any munitions it had on board, have gone to a better place.
I can't comment on crew. No-one in the area seemed to know if the station was manned, and the launch bays were all locked down to unapproved traffic. I just hope that thing was fitted with escape pods.
