Backstory

Intercomm: Shit, they were hit! Anyone there!?

You: Damn... that was close!

Intercomm: Status - The last volley of shots from their cruiser barely missed its mark and grazed you. The rest of your squadron was not so lucky, unfortunately. Your weapons system was hit and rendered non-functional. Engines and life support intact. Hyperdrive unstable, but online. It will send shockwaves on arrival if you use it, be careful!

You: What the hell happened?

Intercom: One of the ships drives was hit in the moment they warped space around the spacecraft. The battlezone in this sector looks like swiss cheese on the gravitational map. If you are alive, you must be one of the lucky few, not many left of us up there! We are preparing evac! Can you keep those bastards off of our case for a bit? We need to gather the remaining civilians! Buy us some time, will you?

You: How am I supposed to do anything withput weapons and coordinates? Where am I?

Intercomm: You are...will be...here and there...Undestined...look, it's complicated... You cannot leave the bubble of spacetime you are currently manifested in! Your particles would be torn to shreds outside of it. It's always shooting with you space cowboys...Maybe you can push them or something, I don't know... Good luck!

You: *Alarm sounds* Shit, bogeys on 7 o'clock...
