The expression on his engineer’s face is far from hopeful as he explains, “We just don’t know why this happened, Cap’n… but it couldn’t have been at a worse time. You know as well as I do the replicators need to be updated with fresh supplies in order to keep making food, not to mention we need to refuel and do a quick engine overhaul.”
“I know all that, Scotty. I want to know how-… how long, Scotty?”
He doesn’t voice the rest of the question: How long can we last before we all die? Scotty sighs, rubbing the back of his neck, but he doesn’t reply right away, likely thinking of the best way to say something Jim knows isn’t going to be good.
“Honestly? If we start rationing use of the replicators now, programming them to prepare only the most essential and efficient foods and restricting usage, we can likely make the stores last another month. That’s with three meals a day, so if we cut that down to two, we could make it go a bit longer. But in a month, that’s when our auxiliary power is gonna start to run out, so no matter what we do, we’ve got about… six or seven weeks to come up with an answer or have Starfleet find us floating out here.”
