############ !DevonGeoSat-2 error report! ############
– Cause: Spacecraft experienced off nominal attitude measurements - entering safemode
– Dumping event log…
Timestamp t = [ENCYRPTED - ONYX SCHEME E7B4C1F2]
[t+0] - unexpected object (designated A0) in detected in near orbit radius, does not match any craft in ephemeris
[t+2] - sending report to Hoenn Space Agency…
[t+2] - A0 distance decreasing. Probability of collision >50%, performing emergency slew and inclination burn
[t+15] - slew complete, begin burn
[t+23] - burn complete
[t+25] - reassesment of A0 shows change in trajectory matching new orbit
[t+30] - distance to A0 significantly decreasing (Approach rate >50 m/s). Probability of impact >90%. Time to impact 14 seconds.
[t+32] - slewing to face A0, attempting to resolve…
[t+34] - error - cannot resolve. A0 moving too fast to acquire. Calculated necessary torques would exceed limits of vehicle structure and reaction wheels
[t+43] - A0 has haulted relative movement <2m from vehilce
[t+46] - !!WARNING!! Unexpected demate of primary OBC radiation panel
[t+48] - !!CRITICAL ERROR!! Unknown write directly to EEPROM
[t+55] - super user access granted. Dumping Hoenn Space Agency ephemeris…
