  • The fact that there had been a collision, that the _Niccola's_ engines were melted to unlovely scrap, that the Plumie ship was now welded irremovably to a side-keel, and that a Plumie was signaling to humans while both ships went spinning through space toward an unknown destination -- these things did not affect the obligations of the radar room.
