				<strong>ISS VENTURE - The Bridge (Day 1: 0:00 Hours)</strong><br><br>The activation of the FTL should have, according to the best estimates of the scientists, been seen as nothing more than a blink of an eye to the crew of the ISS Venture.&nbsp; It came across rather differently.&nbsp; As the countdown reached zero, everything seemed to stretch in dimensions that just couldn't quite be grasped by the human eye or brain.&nbsp; Ghostly creatures were seen to rush by as if a herd of mutated cattle were running through the bridge, then, a snap.<br><br>Reality returned in a rush, leaving the crew-members not in stasis violently sick to the stomach as their bodies attempted to re-adjust to real space.&nbsp; The forward screen showed a strange double-star system that was NOT their destination, while alarms and warnings from every console and screen attempted to compete for the attention of the skeleton crew.&nbsp; According to the computer, everything was going wrong.&nbsp; Not only was the entire ship a raging inferno, but it was an empty vacuum, had high levels of carbon dioxide, too much oxygen, too much moisture, and every other event the programmers had included.&nbsp; <br><br>Captain Stirling sat in her chair, her face in her hands and a narrow trickle of blood leaking from one ear.&nbsp;

				It certainly wasn't the best feeling to jump through time and space, while feeling one's intestines violently shake this way and that, but that's what happened. To be fair, Morrie had predicted they would probably end up in some shit hole of a place, and oddly enough he had been correct for once. Though, he did expect the ride their at least to be decent. A sort of, last meal and ride so to speak before the execution. But of course, it ended up far worse than that, which wasn't what he had expected.<br><br>With a groan of displeasure, his arms braced against his front panel, pushing himself out of a small pool of his own blood, and whatever else had been picked up from his body. It was hard to get his bearings at first, but at least he was certain he wasn't dead. That was good enough for now. With what energy he had left, he slumped back into his own chair, using his hands as a pillow as he shook his head at a futility of the situation, not to mention a rather different destination than they had planned. With a small cough, he cleared his throat before finally speaking.<br><br>"So... as much fun as that was, I... kinda have the feeling that we didn't exactly do it right... Or is this part of your plan skipper?"

Somethings gone wrong ! terribly wrong ! The FTL engine room is giving readings I dont understand. A Power surge happened. Something larger than what the engines can manage somehow, or at least what I understand them to be able to manage. Captain this star system is not on the charts. We have appeared at an unknown location. It will take us days to work out where we are. And worse. This orbit is not table. Before the month ends we will be part of it permanently."<br>

				Alexis didn't need to overhear the disturbing report from Kate or see the blood trickling from the captain's ear to know something went wrong. The overwhelming need to hurl, spinning world and piercing ring in her ears was evidence enough that the whole trip had gone to hell during their flight. Morrie's question echoed the thoughts running through Alexis's mind as she unclipped the belt strapping her to the bridge's guest chair before stumbling forward onto her hands and knees. She knew it likely wasn't the best idea to move but she already felt better after untethering herself to the ship that had just jostled her innards so nicely. For a second the lieutenant envied both those currently in hyper sleep or stuck on earthen ground. The stars weren't looking so romantic any more.<br><br>As her view gradually stabilised from its sickening spin, the officer pushed herself back to her feet. "You can drop me off at the nearest planet now... I think I'm done flying," she muttered to nobody in particular as she placed a hand gently against her throbbing temple.
