Had an incident about 3.2x10^5 km from Ashram. The Resplendent Dragon crashed into us. Xao (RD captain) says they were attacked by pirates near Ganga; they lost nav and comms.

As a result of the collision, the Steel Hummingbird lost its extra sensor array, propulsion, and some armor. Also, there is a crack in the hull.

Volkova got our engines working in about six hours. We towed the Resplendent Dragon into spacedock.

Ashram emergency rescue services are a bureaucratic nightmare and essentially useless. Also, I think I may have bought us 15,000 packets of ketchup.
