Holy crap, what's that beeping sound? 'Gravitational
|
|
Disturbance' and 'Emergency Conditions' are flashing. Did I
|
|
mess something up? Where's the sun? It's the morning!
|
|
|
|
Scanners' power on. Big gravitational field detected;
|
|
something's pulling on us and making us go upward! Starting
|
|
engine; nothing wrong there. Starting autopilot.
|
|
|
|
I check my QEC for the announcement of our planet's impending
|
|
doom. Is it happening now? It says it'll happen in six Earth
|
|
days. I mean, I heard that the QEC could have massive delays;
|
|
but six days' worth?
|
|
|
|
Okay, everything's operational; scanners have been calibrated
|
|
and are reading the same result as before. Firing back
|
|
thrusters at 100% throttle and bracing.
|
|
|
|
I'm out now, and I see the ship that was going to pick us up.
|
|
Sending a quick transmission now; maybe they'll let me board
|
|
via the transport deck.
|
|
|
|
'Enterprise is cleared for landing on Deck A-32.' Okay, I'm in.
|
|
I should probably set my air to 'backup'; my main air supply
|
|
is running out.
