<br>
Darkness. Abysmal, treacherous darkness. Sleep?<br>
<br>
It drew out. Step by step, cube by cube, until it contracted and formed a ripple. Swirled. Confusion. Moist? Devious.<br>
<br>
Light. Searing, blinding light. Life.<br>
<br>
The man woke up with a shocking jolt. <br>
<br>
He was heaving, in and out, his skin covered in satin liquid. It pricked his skin; a thousand needles, pressing wildly against his thin protection. The man shifted. <br>
<br>
He couldn't shift, he later realized.<br>
<br>
He stared, both bewildered and confused, at his environs. He couldn't see anything. His eyes had just opened. Once the dizzying mist of gold and rainbow subsided, he saw the linings of a door. A pod. A capsule. He was enclosed. He wasn't sleeping — he was put to sleep. The awakening was rude, vague memories of a bygone life still interspersed throughout his mind, darting to and fro avoiding capture. He was unable to piece them together. Even catch them. Funny, trying to catch memories. He tried to utter a single chuckle. No sound came out. He wasn't surprised.<br>
<br>
Soon, the linings of the translucent hatch shifted and teared open. A sharp hiss invaded his ears, the door depressing and the mechanisms forcing it to budge off. The cacophony hurt his ears. Those were just getting used to it, he thought. The man exhaled another groan, painful as it was. It came out as a feeble, oscillating whimper. Progress, he perceived. The door opened, and then he was exposed to an unknown dark. The light in his pod flickered, teetering dangerously close to shutting off. He hoped it wouldn't. <br>
<br>
It, this strange circumstance, felt like a bad dream, the man could assert. He remembered doing something of sorts, something that wasn't sleeping nor entering this macabre tool — his jagged memory induced more fury than what his poor motor functions might have.<br>
<br>
The place beyond was pitch black, lit scantly by the minimal functions of the pod. The uncanny bed substitute was hard to the back. He discovered his bones ached, badly. His body, all of it, ached. Only his head remained safe, though, unnerving was its stolid numbness. <br>
<br>
The dull pain gnawed away at his bones, as he tried to move his fingers. His arms. His head, foremost. It was a mistake, the man realized, but it was far too late. The whole world spun, without end, without meaning. Vertigo, a bad one. A few minutes more and he would be puking, he decided. His head fell victim to periodic pangs of throbbing pain right then, adding salt to his wounds. He preferred the insensitivity to that. <br>
<br>
The man, mostly unperturbed, struggled to lift his left hand up on the rails of the pod's door. A piercing pain shook through his nerves, followed by tremors of shock. He started back, onto the hard surface, the back of his head slamming against it. He groaned again. It was more audible, this time. Silver linings. He bitter smile developed on his lips.<br>
<br>
The task was, ultimately, tedious, but he was able to shrug off the pain, which he had come to acknowledge by now. Having set his jittery hands on the railing, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around a bit. The low drone of the pod, coughing as its power oozed away, gave the ambiance a dreary tilt. The light flickered with renewed vigour. The man tried to move his leg: he succeeded, although it hurt both his nerves and his pale dignity. He supposed he looked pathetic, gaunt too, likely. <br>
<br>
His body soon regained its feeling. His nervous system was booting up, he discerned, though the pain persevered. Breathing was difficult. He could hear it rasping through his lungs. He grumbled, before attempting to mutter a word. Anything.<br>
<br>
He grasped the situation at hand. His mind was hazy, the feeling one gets when they're too drunk. He was in an unknown place, one likely scarcely functioning. He was awakened for a reason.<br>
<br>
"Hrmph," He murmured, “shit.” It was a dragging drawl. He could speak, he can speak. Talk, conversations. <br>
<br>
His voice was ragged and raspy, tinged with age and inexperience. His throat was dry. Speaking was painful.<br>
<br>
He lifted his back. Good, he mused, good. He peeked over the railing. Nothing. No sound, except for the chunky buzz. No object, aside from the metallic plates which formed the room. He inched, and lifted his feet over the railing and the edges of the door. He did that to the other, and both on level ground, he got off. His bare feet touched the floor. It was cold. <br>
<br>
He could still hear his own breathing. It was sporadic. Curious that humans tend to notice the most minor detail at the most hysterical of moments. He shook his head. He needed to find out exactly where he was. No lumbering. He stretched his limbs. The bones emitted a distinct crack. His muscles had become taut. Stretching was painful. <br>
<br>
The man looked around the room. There was the pod, beside it, affixed to the wall was a cabinet. He couldn't make it out clearly. There was the pod. In front of him was a door. Manual.<br>
<br>
There was a lot of things to do. He mulled over the possibilities.<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 20px"><b><br>
A) Examine the pod.<br>
B) Explore the cabinet.<br>
C) Check the door.</b>​</div></span></span></span></div></div></div></div>

He ambled to the front of the pod, his gait clipped and faltering. There was a lack of gravity. It added a pop to his steps. The pod was chalk-white, sallow and with little depth to it. Angled lines covered its surface, and covered the hatch, which was still open. Liquid covered its feet, and sides, some still within the pod. Gases of sort climbed over the edges. There was a vent on its side, where the clunky hum came from. <br>

It was a very nondescript pod.<br>

The man inched closer, until he could more clearly make out the front of the pod. Obeying his instincts, he crouched. There was a plate imposed on front of the pod, old fashioned type of plate. A name was inscribed on it, clearly and concisely in large letters. <br>

<br>
The small cabinet was affixed to the wall, and was near the pod. A few feet away. It was dim-grey, with red accents. On the cabinet, written, were the words, ‘EMERGENCY’ in big letters.<br>
<br>
Jack fumbled with the cabinet's lock for a while. It wasn't locked. The hinges gave way to his strength. He shoved his arm into it, blindly feeling for something. Anything. He found a flashlight, a miniature guide, and a loaded pistol. There was little else there. He placed the flashlight and the pistol back on the cabinet, before going through the guide. He was in a ship. <br>
<br>
A spaceship. <br>
<br>
He groaned yet again.<br>
<br>
He grabbed the flashlight and thumbed its switch. The pistol was there. It was silvery, glossy unlike his suit. The handle was wooden. He illuminated the closet. Beside it, he hadn't discovered earlier, was two ammunition magazines. <br>
<br>
He thought over his situation.<br>
<br>
He was stuck on a spaceship. He was awakened because something broke, possibly, considering the ebbing light. He was a commander, or communicator, and he had been put on stasis. There was a good foundation here now. A good basis. But he didn't have all the pieces.<br>
<br>
He aimed the torch towards the rest of the room. It was empty. He tossed the light around, till he came upon other objects. The room was big, he discovered, but with that he also came upon other pods. Similar in colour and shape to his, placed in systemic positions, yet missing both the light and the whirring of machinery. It only took a minute for him to connect two and two together, and the horror dawned upon him. They had malfunctioned. He strode closer. From the translucent covers, he could make out silhouettes. They were dead. He grimaced.<br>
<br>
He didn't bother to check their nameplates. He could do nothing about them now.<br>
<br>
As he hadn't any pockets, he had to leave the guide. He could backtrack and get it later. He took the pistol, taking it with his right hand. He grabbed the flashlight, and the spare magazines, the three of which he held together with only his left hand. Not so much a remarkable feat, as the clips were quite minuscule.<br>
<br>
Jack stepped back and moved. First thing he should do, he supposed, is check this ship. Nothing happened without reason. The light that emanated from his pod popped off. The buzz sputtered and died. No sound. His heart was thumping, he could hear it. He advanced, placing a prudent foot after the other, towards the door. He brought his hands over to the wheel, clamping his fingers around the dark metal handle. <br>
<br>
He turned it.<br>
<br>
It didn't work. <br>
<br>
He turned it again. <br>
<br>
Didn't work, again. <br>
<br>
He turned it yet again, mustering all of his might. <br>
<br>
It worked. <br>
<br>
Jack breathed a sigh of relief, punctuated with his weary heaving. The action had taken away his energy. He was panting. <br>
<br>
The room was small and square, catering to utility rather than looks. There were two doors. One was automated, an elevator, the other was simple. He went to the first one. He pushed the button. Didn't work. He grunted, and advanced to the second door, pushing it. Worked. Beyond the door were a dozen metal grate floors that were linked together to form a floor. At the end of the floor, was a flight of stairs. He couldn't see clearly. The lights were still off. <br>
<br>
Remembering the guide, both the auxiliary power source and the main one was beneath the cryo room. There was also the data storage, aptly put next to the human storage. He chuckled, and then coughed. Not his brightest day, he knew. <br>
<br>
Jack planted his right foot on the floor. A small, hollow thud rang across the atmosphere. The floor was wonky. He examined the scene. They were suspended by cables that itself supported the floor beyond him, and so on. Prudent, he waited a bit before going down. One step, another one, slow, so as to not slip. Still, there were no space to fall. Everything was cramped. <br>
<br>
He navigated through the ill-formulated stairway. Soon, he came upon the room. On a plate above the room: ‘GENERATOR CORE/DATA STORAGE/LIFE SUPPORT.’ <br>
<br>
He frowned, before opening the door. It led to the data storage, he assumed, it was stacked with computers nearly his height. <br>
<br>
The generator core was kept to the far side. A small opening led to it. No door. Turning on the power seems like a safe gambit, Jack thought. Shoving his way through the computers, he reached the entrance. He hunched his shoulders and back and went inside. <br>
<br>
It was a large room. Worth the flights of stairs. The shade of the metal was lighter. More chrome. The corners of the doom and the sides were laid with red and yellow paint. The ground was again a simple grating. The inner workings were visible. Wires failed to pique his interest. Jack looked around for a moment. He found nothing of particular interest. He moved on. The entrance to the auxiliary generator and the power controls were composed of a larger doorway, with two doors. Both led to different sections. Titles defined their utility. He entered POWER CONTROL. <br>
<br>
Dozens of computers and machinery surrounded the cleanly empty hall. At the end were the master controls. He ambled close. It was turned on, the main generator. It had failed. He turned off the primary lever. It didn't budge. He tried harder. Worked. <br>
<br>
He did the same thing again, albeit vice versa. Nothing seemed to happen. <br>
<br>
He let out a sigh. It was distressing. He backtracked to the core room, before sliding into the AUXILIARY GENERATOR room. The room was circular. There was a hole in the center, surrounded by safety borders and a semi-circular walkway. The generator was in the middle, suspended by two big wires and many smaller ones. All of the wires were encased in thick metal. He moved via the walkway and around the generator. His hand brushed across the low fence, as he reached the end of the walkway. There was a door.<br>
<br>
Jack grabbed the handle, rotating it, before nudging the door open. There was a narrow room. Small. The switches were at the far end of the room. Jack proceeded towards the switch. He pulled it. The machine behind him started whirring and screaming, the sounds of something coming to life. It was ear shattering in scale. The lights came on. Jack was grimacing, teeth clenched tight, lips and mouth stretched, eyebrows furrowed. He turned off his flashlight. The place was bathed in red light. It gave the blue of the auxiliary generator more emphasis.<br>
<br>
He stepped back and backtracked his way to the stairway's exit. Back DATA STORAGE, and STAIRWAYS. He examined the STAIRWAY door a bit. On its side was a lifeless computer manuel plastered to the screen. He checked it. It had yet to be turned on. He turned it on.<br>
<br>
The screen burst to life.<br>
<br>
It showed a more complete version of the manual. He supposed there was one in each floor and parts of this ship.<br>

He was stuck on a spaceship. He was awakened because something broke, possibly, considering the ebbing light. He was a commander, or communicator, and he had been put on stasis. There was a good foundation here now. A good basis. But he didn't have all the pieces.<br>
<br>
He aimed the torch towards the rest of the room. It was empty. He tossed the light around, till he came upon other objects.

Similar in colour and shape to his, placed in systemic positions, yet missing both the light and the whirring of machinery. It only took a minute for him to connect two and two together, and the horror dawned upon him. They had malfunctioned. He strode closer. From the translucent covers, he could make out silhouettes. They were dead. He grimaced.<br>

He didn't bother to check their nameplates. He could do nothing about them now.<br>

As he hadn't any pockets, he had to leave the guide. He could backtrack and get it later. He took the pistol, taking it with his right hand. He grabbed the flashlight, and the spare magazines, the three of which he held together with only his left hand. Not so much a remarkable feat, as the clips were quite minuscule.<br>
<br>
Jack stepped back and moved. First thing he should do, he supposed, is check this ship. Nothing happened without reason. The light that emanated from his pod popped off. The buzz sputtered and died.

The room was small and square, catering to utility rather than looks. There were two doors. One was automated, an elevator, the other was simple. He went to the first one. He pushed the button. Didn't work. He grunted, and advanced to the second door, pushing it. Worked. Beyond the door were a dozen metal grate floors that were linked together to form a floor. At the end of the floor, was a flight of stairs. He couldn't see clearly. The lights were still off. <br>
<br>
Remembering the guide, both the auxiliary power source and the main one was beneath the cryo room. There was also the data storage, aptly put next to the human storage. He chuckled, and then coughed. Not his brightest day, he knew. <br>
<br>
Jack planted his right foot on the floor. A small, hollow thud rang across the atmosphere. The floor was wonky. He examined the scene. They were suspended by cables that itself supported the floor beyond him, and so on. Prudent, he waited a bit before going down. One step, another one, slow, so as to not slip. Still, there were no space to fall. Everything was cramped. <br>
<br>
He navigated through the ill-formulated stairway. Soon, he came upon the room. On a plate above the room: ‘GENERATOR CORE/DATA STORAGE/LIFE SUPPORT.’ <br>
<br>
He frowned, before opening the door. It led to the data storage, he assumed, it was stacked with computers nearly his height. <br>
<br>
The generator core was kept to the far side. A small opening led to it. No door. Turning on the power seems like a safe gambit, Jack thought. Shoving his way through the computers, he reached the entrance. He hunched his shoulders and back and went inside. <br>
<br>
It was a large room. Worth the flights of stairs. The shade of the metal was lighter. More chrome. The corners of the doom and the sides were laid with red and yellow paint. The ground was again a simple grating. The inner workings were visible. Wires failed to pique his interest. Jack looked around for a moment. He found nothing of particular interest. He moved on. The entrance to the auxiliary generator and the power controls were composed of a larger doorway, with two doors. Both led to different sections. Titles defined their utility. He entered POWER CONTROL. <br>
<br>
Dozens of computers and machinery surrounded the cleanly empty hall. At the end were the master controls. He ambled close. It was turned on, the main generator. It had failed. He turned off the primary lever. It didn't budge. He tried harder. Worked. <br>
<br>
He did the same thing again, albeit vice versa. Nothing seemed to happen. <br>
<br>
He let out a sigh. It was distressing. He backtracked to the core room, before sliding into the AUXILIARY GENERATOR room. The room was circular. There was a hole in the center, surrounded by safety borders and a semi-circular walkway. The generator was in the middle, suspended by two big wires and many smaller ones. All of the wires were encased in thick metal. He moved via the walkway and around the generator. His hand brushed across the low fence, as he reached the end of the walkway. There was a door.<br>
<br>
Jack grabbed the handle, rotating it, before nudging the door open. There was a narrow room. Small. The switches were at the far end of the room. Jack proceeded towards the switch. He pulled it. The machine behind him started whirring and screaming, the sounds of something coming to life. It was ear shattering in scale. The lights came on. Jack was grimacing, teeth clenched tight, lips and mouth stretched, eyebrows furrowed. He turned off his flashlight. The place was bathed in red light. It gave the blue of the auxiliary generator more emphasis.<br>
<br>
He stepped back and backtracked his way to the stairway's exit. Back DATA STORAGE, and STAIRWAYS. He examined the STAIRWAY door a bit. On its side was a lifeless computer manuel plastered to the screen. He checked it. It had yet to be turned on. He turned it on.<br>
<br>
The screen burst to life.<br>
<br>
It showed a more complete version of the manual. He supposed there was one in each floor and parts of this ship.<br>
