It seems you have a lot of things on your agenda. Several of them involve damaging your ship, which is the only thing keeping you alive right now. You think you'd better figure out how to fix the comms array.
Actually, why don't we start with something actually important, instead?
Luka! BRING THE TUNES!
YEAH BABY
Ah, yes. You take a peek at the other end of your ship. On the left is the door, and on the right is your mass produced sleeping pod. In the corner there is a cooler filled with various carbonated beverages. No food, though.
You wonder where all your food could have gone. Luka suggests that you ate it all. You wouldn't do that, would you?
(You would.)
It is fortunate that Space Explorers can go more than a week without food.
Right. Time to get to work. You tell Luka to run her troubleshooter.
Luka tells you that the issue is not a hardware or software issue. Some kind of outside interference is preventing you from sending long range transmissions. This interference could be anything - radiation, space magnets, intentional sabotage by unknown parties, space bugs in the ports. All Luka knows is that the interference is coming from somewhere within this star system.
Using the classical selection process of "it's my favourite colour," you choose a destination within the system. Perhaps you expect to find a solution to your problems there. Maybe you hope to scout the planet as a potential colony world for your species. Or you're just dicking around.
Luka engages warp drive. Wow, it's gorgeous! You never get tired of seeing lazy lines drawn in ms pai
You are now orbiting the red planet. Scans indicate it is a terrestrial world with several oceans, but you are unable to identify the type of liquid from this range. Do you want to name this planet?

you could also maybe explore this ship and acquaint the audience with its hopefully duochrome and untextured interiors.
