Sixty Seconds to Spaghettification

A miscalculated lightspeed jump drops you right into the gravity well of a black hole. You wake from stasis to blaring alarms, 60 seconds of hull integrity, and an escape drive that needs 90 seconds to charge. Triage four failing systems and use relativistic time dilation to buy the difference (or get spaghettified)!

As the designated pilot waking to complete bridge meltdown, you are the last line of defense against total annihilation. Four critical ship systems are screaming red at once: the reactor grid is tripping breakers, the coolant valve is overheating, the deflector shield is drifting out of phase, and your thrust vector is misaligned.

Nothing stays fixed. Every console slowly decays back toward failure the moment you step away. To survive, you must continuously triage the bridge, keeping your thrust high and hull integrity above zero long enough to stretch your 60 seconds of survival across the 90 seconds required to punch out at escape velocity.
