My dear Dancing Merchant,

I trust you are all well? Let me start by assuring you that it was not my idea to put you in the predicament you find yourself in. However, I am in charge now and am trying to find a solution to our mutual benefit.

First, let me start by giving you a brief update of events.

You are inside our hangar surrounded by flesh-eating zombies.

We cannot get to you, since the hangar is under quarantine and we cannot risk allowing the RUSTY reanimation virus, or zombies for that matter, to escape into the rest of the ship.

We cannot beam you out, or beam help in. Our transporters are not capable of intra-ship beaming.

Although you are doing a fine job of ridding the hangar of zombies, I am told that the majority of them are inside the other ship in the hangar, the Romero, which is the source of the infestation.

Outside the Suid Sidal there is a rabid swarm of GREASERS currently attached to the ship cloak’s field.

We cannot maintain the cloak much longer as the drain on our power is enormous. They will get through very soon.

Beyond the GREASERS we have two fed ships, maybe more on the way, that are currently helping the GREASERS get through the cloak field by periodically pounding on us with torpedoes.

As you can see, things could be better.

However, I think I have a solution to our problems, but we will need you and your crew. Remember we are in this together. Even if the zombies don’t get you, the GREASERS will eventually. Or the feds, who are not discriminating when they blow us up.

If you have someone on board who is familiar with Gravity Well Generators, and I pray that you do, here is what you have to do.

You must stop flying around and land.

You must send out the GWG technician to the Romero.

You must run power cables from your ship to the Romero to power the GWG.

(The Romero’s drive is damaged. Do NOT use power outlets in the hangar as the Suid Sidal needs to conserve it’s power right now.)

You must program the GWG to place a gravity well at exactly the right spot, and exactly the right size, and exactly the right strength, to attract the GREASERS, but not to attract us. We can’t help you there. Our GWG technicians are now zombies. Say hi if you bump into them.

You must fire up your engines to full strength and activate the GWG.

If it works, the gravity well will act like a huge mosquito zapper and attact the swarm and pull them in and then crush the little bastards.

Oh yeah, and you might have some fed company while doing all this. They will probably be reluctantly helping you deal with the zombie threat. I thought you could use something better than spoons.

Good luck.

Sincerely,
Dandy’s Roommate
