*He nodded with his eyes closed.* "<em>That was the last report that came in over the network, before it went down. All the report had said was that a light emanating from the surface f the second moon had hit the ship. Nothing more. Not the planet, so that might be significant, might not. Dunno if word got sent back to home or not.</em>" *He sighed as he rolled over. Out in the Atrium, what sounded like an arc welder had fired up. Great, now I got some crazy racket going on while I'm trying to nap.*<br/><br/><br/>Captain Fenris<br/><br/>*Well it almost couldn't be any worse. His whole crew had died in the initial moments of impact. Seems the floor grating wasn't designed sturdy enough and had come loose. The end result was that it had slid back and sliced nearly everyone in half. Only reason he had survived was that his seat was higher than the rest. Too much time watching old space sci-fi movies is probably what made the engineers do it. Nearly four hours had passed since then and he now had all the bodies bagged and up against a wall. They would be honored later. He reached over for the emergency broad cast and thumbed the switch to transmit. "<em>This is the captain...</em>" *Now that he had let everyone know that leadership still survived, he needed to actually get to them. Walking over to the emergency cabinet, he opened it up and gazed around inside. He grabbed a survival pack and also the portable arc welder. It wouldn't cut down a bulkhead, but it could make a door where one didn't exist.*<br/><br/>Equipped as he was, he looked at a map. The entrance to the maintenance shafts was right down the hall from him. He could slip into there and if he was lucky, the shafts would still be intact. From what the map said, the shafts would take him all the way down to the Cryostorage atriums. He went back to the consoles and cut power to anything still running in the bridge. Except for the S.O.S.. Very unlikely help would arrive in his time, but it would give heart to anyone expecting rescue. He resumed his escape and dissapeared down the hall and around the corner. He slipped into the shaft entrance and began his little journey.*
