I'm just flying through space minding my own, jumping around Maia. Im heading to Pleione for some scanning, I hear the usual, four, three, two, one. FSD kicks in and that uncomfortable feeling, like everything lurches but nothing moves. Hurtling across light years in the blink of an eye. You hear rumours of 'things' out there, we've all heard rumours of 'things' out there. We've all heard stories from friends of friends who knew someone who came back. It's all .
Boom, what, somethings not right, you feel it across yourself in what seems like an eternity before you hear her say, warning! hyperspace conduit unstable.
What? I've never heard...
The ship slides, the feeling makes me want to throw up. A shunt so hard my eyes white out in pain and my head is left ringing. She says something. Something about a system malfunction? I'm not sure.
We're out of supercruise.
How?
Nothing in my training prepared me for this. How can the route destabalise? My focus comes back, the cockpit is dark. Dark? How can we be dark, the reactor must be online or it would have gone critical.
The canopy is freezing over.
Everything is powered down?
What?
Stop saying what!
Initiate reboot/repair. She'll boot back up no problem.
Panels Dead
Wha.
All panels dead?
Deep breaths, I'm not going to die alone out here like this. I refuse!
My remlok's not on. I'll take smaller breaths just in case.
Really don't want to be down to the cockpit air and a rapidly falling temperature.
Whats that noise?
Somethings out there.
I hear a low hum over the ice forming over the screen. A low roar accompanies it.
My heartbeat increases. The primal fight or flight instincts kick in. Breathing deepens, flooding my body with oxygen, They say your response times tighten, I can believe it. It feels like electric.
Another sound appears, higher, a repetitive chirrup.
I strain to look around.
I see it.
I freeze, time stretches out. I'm caught like a rabbit in headlights. I just sit there frozen, hands gripped tight to the controls.
They were right!
