A long weekend
Wow, things got really scary there for a while. I was on the flight deck when it happened. Apparently a random patrol was detected near by and we had to totally shut down the ship. The whole place went to emergency battery power and turned off every non-essential system. Then most everyone huddled in the flight bay to keep warm. We did not want to be detected by the patrol droids.
The little buggers hung around for just over 36 hours! Needless to say things did get uncomfortable for everyone. At one point, the Admiral even shut off the gravity generators and we all just floated for a spell. Actually, I liked that part because I was able to get some sleep.
The worse part about the situation is that after a while, everyone starts to smell a little. When the alarm went off and this whole thing started, I was playing jungball with some of the pilots, so I was sweaty from the beginning. I was very ripe by the end of the alert.
Once we went back to normal power, it took a few more hours for the water system to get back on line so everyone could have a shower, but water is still being rationed, so all I got was a bit of a rinse-off. It helped, a little.

Worst blog ever.
wow, isn't that a perky 'happy monday to you!'
At least you got the toilets up and running, those do take priority over the showers
Too much information Wedge!
Sounds Like you were all flushed from your game !!
But dont sweat It Buddy , things will work out alright.
Its amazing how everthing smells better after a good spring shower
The thing that I hate about zero gravity is that making margaritas gets so messy.
And hopscotch. That's really hard in zero G.
Boo Hoo. Wedge was named the "worst blog ever". How will we ever recover from the shame of being associated with the "worst blog ever". *much wailing and gnashing of the teeth* Oh how will our egos ever survive a Flame Troll attack.
Ahem, let me just say to worst blog ever guy - you stink worse than Wedge's gym socks after this adventure. You stink more than one of my lame jokes. You sir, just stink.
Back to our regular scheduled program.
You go, Tak!
Yes, thanks AOC. Even though I think you should be turned into bug-puss, I do appreciate you responding to an uncalled-for comment.
I will be back to this story in a while.
