1173 Long Walk

Max double-checked the seals on his Mobile Suit and the function of the attached Tech Adept Harness. Normally, he didn't equip the multi-armed toolkit, but there was a chance that he might have to fix doors, or even the bolts that should have blown out during the emergency decommissioning of the vessel.

The harness also contained various weapons, but even the most pessimistic of their team members didn't see any likelihood that they would be needing that during the walk to the bridge. There were no signs of energy beings on the ship, and nothing else could conceivably have survived all this time given the condition of the ship.

There were records of operational Colony Ships lasting from unknown times to the present among the Alliance species. Some species had splintered during their initial expansion, and a subsection of them had chosen to remain on board the vessels permanently, never choosing a planet and becoming a space faring culture.
