The Crash

I awoke in my crew quarters from the harsh halt of hyperspace travel. Sirens started to blare as red lights flashed. A loud speaker said,”All crew prepare for emergency flip and burn!”

I quickly rushed for the wall seat in my room and buckled in. I felt gravity give out then the swinging of the ship and following that a 5G burn trying to slow us down. It didn’t take long before I passed out.

I woke up hanging by the straps of the chair looking down at the ceiling of my quarters. “Alexa you still online?” The amazon logo flashed up on my HUD. A female voice followed,”Yes, Alex but I have no quantum net connection.”

“Fuck!” I said. “What’s the possibility of injury if I unbuckle?”

“Possible but extremely unlikely.”

“Thanks” I said as I unbuckled and fell to my ceiling.

I got up and opened the door and saw a strange animal scurry off. I slowly limped closer to the door frame and stepped through. I looked left and noticed with an exception of 2 more crew quarters there was no rest of the ship. I was startled to realize I was able to breathe, this planet all though gravity being much higher was not much of a problem. I walked and opened the cabin across from me. Mitchell the other engineer on this trip was practically pulverized against the wall. I leaned over and vomited and quickly shut the door.

I walked over to the next door and opened it, to see a girl unscathed but passed out in her seat hanging from the ceiling.
