LOUD NOISES.
Oh wow, do you have to pee.
You open your eyes to discover you are standing in a cylinder with an open door in front of you. Everything seems hazy, and your ears aren't working correctly either. As everything comes into focus, you find the bathroom and give yourself the longest relief you have ever had.
Much better.
Your hearing is doing much better and you can make out booted feet running on a catwalk, and then a loud female voice announces '...'ave been woken up early due to an imminent micrometiorite collision. I repeat' and the ship shakes. There is a huge crashing noise, and then a tearing sound.
Somewhere, a heavy door slams.
That same female voice announces 'Investigating Damage... One of the oxygen tanks and half of the colonists are gone. There is no longer enough oxygen to get to Alpha Centuri. You will have to take matters into your own hands, or none will survive and we will crash upon attempting re-entry.'
You remember the name of the ship. The Illiad. Idiots. Well, at least they eventually made it to their destination... and you hope you will too.
All you remember of faces and names are a blur, but you seem to remember what you are good at and why you were selected to go along to colonize the new world.
Sounds like we're going to Alpha Centauri...do we have to go back again once we get there or something?
