I tried to brace myself as best I could, but I knew this wasn’t going to be good. The AI hybrids said there was some sort of malfunction, but weren’t they programmed to catch these things? Or fix them? When the lights started to flicker like sparklers on America’s birthday, the humans on board screamed. A muffled version, not horror film gold. As the turbulence got more violent, more people cried ...
It’s been three days since the crash and people are still trying to get through the debris to get to survivors trapped inside. I doubt they will get to them in time. Their screams get more faint with each passing hour. Hardly anyone has gotten sleep because of it. We need to dig for the comms unit that is located in the front of the ship. It’s most definitely damaged but it’s better than doing not...
Kirsen’s eyes flutter open to blinding whiteness, her ears ringing too loud to make out anything else. Even the sound of her own voice is muffled, her groans are barely discernible as she tries to shift in her seat. Her eyes adjust to the light and she sees the control panel in front of her; now missing the steering ball and the buttons next to it sparking, sending a thin trail of smoke out the br...
From my concealed vantage point within the jagged crevice of the icy ridge, I watch as the team in bright red suits moves with purpose around the wreckage. Their breath forms small clouds in the frigid air, mingling with the steam rising from the ruined engines of the downed vessel. The crash had been spectacular, an explosion of sound and fury that shattered the stillness of this frozen wasteland...
I can't move, but it's not because of my injuries, it's these damn restraints. They've got me strapped to some sort of stretcher on skis. I’m being pushed along this bumpy snowpack, and it’s making me dizzy. I can see the ski tracks left behind. Looks like we’re about a mile from the crash. They started flashing lights in my eyes; it's very blinding but I don't move.
It’s hard to breath, but th...
There’s ringing in my ears and my eyes have gone blurry. My head is down and my body limp. Where am I? I try to lift my heavy head up and fail, my chin hitting my chest over and over. The ringing in my ears start to subside, fading into the distance. A loud siren accompanied by panicked voices replaces the barely audible ringing. My eyes begin to flicker open with great effort. Red light is...
“Don’t fucking touch _anything_,” called our group leader over our headsets, “We don’t know what kind of space virus there could be on or in this ship and we don’t need another effing plague. Only the swaps touch. Then we cap and bag for the lab, got it?”
“Got it,” the other team members replied, “Understood.”
We all carefully spread out and edged closer to the wreck. The metal was torn open an...
A giant metal plate crashed down on the spine of the earth!
Let me rephrase it, a gigantic circular spaceship had an erroneous landing on the Lostse, one of the Himalayas.
Oh, my. Oh, hohoho. Where do I start? What can I say? That thing! Look at those massive ice picks looking like dragons’s teeth shining under the plateau sunlight. Wait, wait! Micky! No! Damn he got sucked to one of the picks....
The space she laid in was dark and cramped, The only light coming from a crack in the debris.
She felt frozen in time. Even if the debris wasn’t weighing down her legs, the fear coursing through her body was enough to paralyze her.
The picture she brought with her, her one personal possession, hung limply from the control panel just a hand stretch away. the small stream of light perfectly illumi...
