No Man's Space 1: Starship Encounter

Read No Man's Space 1: Starship Encounter Storyline:

Nobody likes engineers. We were social pariahs at school and we’re outcasts in the Navy too.
I’m James Wood, Lieutenant of Engineers, and nobody takes me seriously.
The problem? My captain’s dead, and I’ve ended up in charge of a modern ship of the line. I don’t know how command works, I can’t act like an officer, and most my men are twice my size. What? Want me to go back to my engine room and forget about command? Tough luck; I’m not leaving one of the midshipmen in charge.
I’d expected mutiny and insubordination to be my biggest problems, but we’re under attack, outgunned and outmanned, and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. We’re stuck in the middle of nowhere with a broken ship and a crew of misfits.
Hate to say it, but we’re screwed. Is your escape pod ready?
