Oops. Might have been me that hit him.
I was still slowing down after my slingshot around the sun and must have smacked into something. At the time I just thought it was space debris. Of course at the speed I was doing even a speck of dust can be deadly. I was damned lucky to survive the collision, but the ship managed to make it to the nearest station for repairs. Not cheap.
If that was him I just hope he can repair it. The ship ought to be no problem, but it seems that flux capacitors don't exist in the 34th century.
