INTRO
You awaken with a throbbing headache, not helped by alarm klaxons sounding
throughout the ship.  You find yourself lying in a heap against the wall.
This is not a good sign as you are sure you started the night in the bunk.
Attempting to stand, you feel a sharp pain in your right arm, you are unable
to put any weight on it.

Softly shaking your head, you try to piece things together.

A. You are on the 'HAC', a MULE class deep space mining tug.
B. You were en-route to your latest dig.  An asteroid belt around an obscure
	planetary system.
C. The MULE was in Skip-Space when you went to bed and should not have
	emerged for another 12 hours.
D. As far as anyone knew, there was nothing that could harm a ship
	while it is in Skip-Space.
E. If you do not turn that damn klaxon off immediately, your head is going to
	split into little pieces.
