Space. That cold void between the stars. A gateway to adventure, and oblivion. A home to many, and a grave for countless others.
John doe though of these things as he looked out into the stars. Suddenly a shrill beep rang across his comm. The airlock status lights turned green, flashing as the airlock slowly opened. When the doors were fully open John began walking forward. He walked past the usual stop, the airlock tether locker, and looked out into space.
"Walker Clear" he said into his comm as he readied himself on the edge of the platform. From the vantage point of the airlock he could see his target. The dilapidated wreck of a Telisian freighter.
"Right, We 're all clear on the scanners" he heard in his headset. The voice was that of

It would have been salvaged years ago if not for the fact that the reigning sector authority granted all salvaging rights to the Atari Salvaging guild, and like most of the guilds claims, the freighter had just sat in space ever since.
As he approached the cargo hold of the freighter he quickly eased back on the thrusters of his suit. "Scanner is live" he said as he pressed another few buttons on his sleeve. The scanner mounted on the side of his helmet came to life as it scanned the surrounding area. A glowing HUD popped up on his helmet indicating the results of the scan. A large portion of the cargo hold had been breached in the evacuation however the 3 crates he was looking for were still intact. "Looks like the cargo 's still in one piece" he said as he deactivated the scanner while simultaneously starting forward again with the suit thrusters set to quarter power.
"Good. Get the cargo and get back here. I don 't like siting still this long" jack said nervousness in his voice. That was jack for you, always afraid of getting caught doing something less then legal.
"You worry to much" john said. He maneuvered aft toward the nearest hole in the cargo hold hull. Arriving moments latter he disengaged his thrusters and slowly drifted inside the abandoned ship. Once he was floating over the metallic floor of the cargo hold he pressed a different button on his sleeve and suddenly fell to the floor, magnetically sealed to its surface.
As they looked around Adam saw a couple rollercoasters that haven't looked like they have been used for a while now. Greg went back in to the hall of mirrors. He was walking in from where they came in. He saw that carnival ride. It was lit up and it was about to close. "Yes! I have found the way out of here. I can't believe I haven't checked here before." Greg thought to himself.
It all started going wrong for John, Sam and Joseph, when they started to hear sputtering from the engine's core. Their stomachs dropped as they started to plummet to the ground. It all happened in a flash as the cargo from the plane fell out of the back. The plane makes contact with ocean and they soon realize the plane is starting to fill up with water. “Are you guys okay?!” shrieked John. “Yeah I'm fine.” replied Sam. “Guys!!” Yelled Joseph. “I am trapped under the seat, and I can't move my leg.” “Were coming.” Yelled Sam and John, but just then the plane broke in two and they lost sight of Joseph. Sam and John were panicked, but had to get out of the plane so they broke down the plane's door and grabbed two life jackets and bolted out. The current was strong, but the adrenaline overcome Sam and John while they were swimming for their lives.
No one slept for three days, everyone on board assisting in keeping the boat upright. By September 11, George Ashby told the captain the obvious fact that we were taking on water. Many more labourers were sent down to fuel the boat as we tried to regain control but it did little to help. Water was slowly rising and all non-fuel workers were told to start bucketing out water. The cold sea continued to engulf our previously sturdy ship.
Samuel stands across from me, pulling out a chair from under the wooden table. He sits down, brushing off his sleeves. His expression is one of calm arrogance. He’s finally getting rid of me. I remain standing, staring out the window, overlooking the cargo bay. Carriers are parking near the mouth of the cave with a few hovers in the far corner.
When they found out about the problem before lift off they modified the module to let the spacecraft enter the lunar module for three hours in order to keep the pressure. While the crew was up in space they noticed many surprises the crew expected to be flying smooth but that was not what happend around 55 minutes and 46 seconds Joe Kerwin communicated with the capsule communicator on duty and he said “the spaceship is in really good shape as far as we're concerned”. Joe kerwin knew that something was wrong and as far as the crew is concerned they were bored to tears in the space ship. After the crew said goodnight on live news according to NASA the oxygen tank No.2 blew up then right after oxygen No.1 blew at that point they knew they had to get back to earth and they radioed with the capcom and told them the issue they lost two of these fuel cells and two oxygen tanks. 20 minutes in after the tanks blew and they lost 2 fuel cells they were thinking about using the Im lifeboat to get back safely. Ground controllers in Houston texas radioed to them to take care of what they can and try to solve the problem before a mission failure. Another 15 minutes passed and they were ordered to make there way to the Lm lifeboat. The lm lifeboat was a concern at the time because since the power was down they were unsure about using the Lm lifeboat because it required power and that's what they were running low on they decided to conserve what they have before it's wasted and there's no way home.

“No, but the crew is making the final preparations as we speak with the remaining supplies brought aboard shortly. Soldiers have been carrying supplies down to the hold all morning, and I suspect we will set sail within the hour.”
Once the ship was right side up, Engineer Shellgren put the engines hard astern, allowing the steamer to escape. In the harbor, Captain Chance Wiman alerted the approaching Calista and returned to Seattle.
When clamp; something attached itself to the hull. I hear the sisal of melting metal. Someone or something is trying to get in the ship. Crap what do I do I only have a wrench and a screwdriver as my only means of defense. MONARC she is the only one left who knows how to use the ships external equipment. I activate MONARC and then, nothing; everything just stops. It’s as if time itself just froze and then I hear a voice “simulation terminated.” Simulation this was a simulation! A simulation! How was this a simulation! My crewmembers are dead! What sick cruel simulation was this! “A test to see which one of you would crack under such circumstances.” Wait are you saying my crew is alive! “Yes and you all preformed above expectations” “please exit though the airlock door and leave the simulation
“Walk to the side entrance, near the Physical Activity room and once you're outside you’ll be able to see the spaceship out of here. Say you’re taking Officer 2012 place under orders of Dr Tartarus. You are put under for the travel and when you wake up, Officer 1002 will find you and help
The crew members felt vibration space and it shut down 2mins ahead of shuttle (Shira). Then the crew member was back on track to orbit. In space things got boring to the crew members. The crew members felt ripple in space ship. All of sudden the warning light came on.
Later after Master Chief ventured into space with nothing but his armour. After retrieving the tubes he returned to the ship and closed the airlocks.
On the morning of July 20 the sensation was increased by the loss of the vessel and its strange treasure. In the storm of the preceding night it had broken from its moorings and vanished forever from the sight of man, carrying with it the guard who had slept aboard despite the threatening weather. Capt. Orne, backed by extensive scientific interests and aided by large numbers of fishing boats from Gloucester, made a thorough and exhaustive searching cruise, but with no result other than the prompting of interest and conversation. By August 7 hope
“Tiger! Pull that rope and everyone move to the back!” Porter ordered, positioned himself to be able to push the old shipping crates over. It would block of the
"Got it. I just have to look for the other Time Machine you guys came from," Flynn responded just as the machine started up. "I'll make sure he doesn't step off no matter what."
The head scientist, Travis, ran to open the door after one of the others said it looked like a human boy. The second the door opened, every occupant of the room heard what sounded like a distress call in their minds. No one knew what language it was in, but they could tell whatever was making it was in trouble.
