Novice Security Agent Hosster Tabbin followed his superior officer into the massive atrium that would be their transportation to the Athena space station. It loomed over them like a slumbering beast. It's entrance the maw into a place you could never escape... And one by one the passengers and crewmen alike entered the hungry chasm.<br/><br/>A sense of foreboding overtook Hosster in this moment. A twisting knot rose from the pit of his stomach and wrapped icy tendrils around his lungs. The air escaped him and he could feel his heart begin to race, a rapid pulse that threatened to smash through his ribs. He closed his eyes and focused on his breathing. Everything's fine, his thoughts came to him halfheartedly,nthere is no reason to panic. He told himself to do his job. There was no choice anymore; he needed the money and if he didn't get it his family would be the one's to suffer.<br/><br/>The message over the intercom took him by surprise. "Two months?" His words were but a whisper in the storm of voices that swirled around him. The people running the operation had said only a couple of days. Not months, but it was too late for anyone to back out now. The door slid shut and sealed them all to whatever awaited them.<br/><br/>Panic only increased. Hosster did the best he could to try and be a calm breeze in the cyclone around him, but no one heard. He began to yell for order. "Everyone needs to stay calm and remain seated!" Again no one listened. One of the passengers attempted to open the sealed dorr and even threw a punch at Hosster, but Hosster was quick to dodge out of the way and even quicker to subdue the man.
