Mission gone wrong, what more to say?

Intro
Engineering, talk to me!
Captain Valeria Mendoza shouted into her comms, her knuckles white as she gripped the console to stay upright.
Guest! Report!
Static hissed, followed by Guest’s voice, strained and laced with grim finality over the speaker:
The core is cascading, Captain! There’s no saving it! Get everyone to the lifepods right now!
Val didn’t waste a second.
Understood. All hands, abandon ship! Move, move, move!
The evacuation was absolute chaos. In the docking bay, Malik was shoved against a bulkhead but kept his footing, using his broad frame to steer a crying academy cadet toward an open pod.
