#I'm reusing ships from other examples and now it's gonna be a story

WIP UPDATE

... The post is being broken into two parts. I had to.

First part is FORMAL MESSAGING and other very boring things, the 2nd Part is about Emergency Situations.

There are a few types of messaging that always override standard formal hails. One type is the repeated message type used as a distress signal. For example, "Mayday mayday mayday! To all able vessels. Designation Dancing Starlight CVMG5-3254. All engines out, incapacitated, need assistance. Conditions calm. Currently lost, engine issue during warp, safely aborted transit, no bearings. Mindgroup of 6, 1H incapacitated, 2M fair, 2M occupied, 1H speaking for 3, all. Carrying 30 passengers. Have fuel, life-support still Green. Please relay the signal broadcast, or respond." 

Distress signals follow similar standard protocol to our modern-day distress calls, such as repeating “Mayday” three times. Mayday signals may be relayed by any surrounding vessels to boost the message to call more capable help to the area, though they do not repeat “Mayday” three times, lest they be mistaken for distress. Or, Mayday signals may be responded to by a ship that is able to assist. 

And somehow I created a sample conversation between 2 ships, and oh no it's gonna turn into a story isn't it

oh no

what am i doing

There's probably going to be a Part 3
