I land in an isolated area of the northern continent, as far from large life-signs as possible while still close to a surface dilithium deposit, grab a laser drill out of the back, and head out after locking and cloaking my ship (keying it to a starter chip that I put in my pocket).
It works and the creature is distracted, allowing you to fly off.
You sucessfully extract n the necessary dilithium and begin to head back to your ship when you feel the ground shake. You then look up at your cloaked ship only to find a large crustacean-like creature moving towards it. You take a few scans of it but its armor seems to reflect them. What do you do?
I beam aboard your ship along with four officers. They are carrying weapons and neural truncheons but you also notice that they are carrying tool kits.
Me: "*makes farting noises* translation: "Do you require any assistance in repairing your ship? We have experience in dealing with your vessels. *"
I reply with a yes. Then I list a several things that are down.
I ask you if you know how to repair the translators.
I give a quick nod and begin to fix the translator.
Worffan: you fly away from the planet but begin to approach a meduim sized black cluster. Going around it could take longer but going through it would shave a week off your journey. What do you do?

I go through, carefully, and watch my sensors. With my shields up.

I watch you while you work with obvious curiosity since I as a vaadwaur haven't seen anything like you yet.
Your ship begins to shake violently from the shockwaves produced by the cluster. Your hull strength begins to deteriorate.
What do you do?
How far am I from the entrance and the far side of the cluster, and how quickly is my hull deteriorating expressed as a percentage of total hull integrity?

You are 5000 km from the center of the cluster. For each 500 kilometers, the shockwaves increase in magnitude by 20%.

Which tells me nothing. How far am I from the point where I entered the cluster, and how far from the other side?
Also, what percentage of my hull's structural integrity is degraded per thousand kilometers I travel through the cluster, and what is my current structural integrity percentage? They call this number out all the time in Trek, it should be right there on my console.

Then I'll do that, and head back out while pouring every spare bit of power into the SIF field.
You leave the cluster with damaged hull and shields. You gain no distance.
Next scenario: as you leave the cluster, your sensors detect something on a nearby moon. It seems to be a power source comming from a subterranean cavern and it has an Iconian signature (no, it is not the Iconians on the forum:P). What do you do?

I head for it with weapons hot. I have standing orders to blow anything Iconian I find into subatomic particles.
(Gonna drop out of this, since I'm so far behind.)
Your ship randomly explodes.
Worffan: as you approach the planet, your sensors detect an iconian gateway, most likely one of the thousands activated by your character in Circles Within Circles.

What do you do?.
I shoot it with everything I have and try to hail Command on all frequencies. Orders are orders.

80 LY to go.
I will be back in the afternoon.
I charge my weapons and go to yellow alert.
I reply with a yes. Then I list a several things that are down.
I begin to repair your ship.
We have 80 LY left.

The translators are repaired.
I say, "Thanks for your help. Do you want to work together to get to the nearest starbase? Its always a good idea to travel with others."

Also, what percentage of my hull's structural integrity is degraded per thousand kilometers I travel through the cluster, and what is my current structural integrity percentage? They call this number out all the time in Trek, it should be right there on my console.
Structural integrity: -20% every 500 kilometers.
You are 2000 kilometers inside the cluster.
Your current structural integrity is at 80%.
"Yes. We will return to our ship and initiate a power transfer to restore your shields. "
Thank you. *I escort you back to the transporter room.*
*I beam up and return to my ship*.
And with that I will be back in the morning.
60 LY left btw.
And I prepare to follow you.
So I'm basically screwed either way. Can I go to warp?
Yes, but you are limited to warp one.
Then I'll do that, and head back out while pouring every spare bit of power into the SIF field.

(Scenario please?)
You begin to approach an asteroid that seems to have a settlement on it. What do you do?
