-SOLARIS-
Whilst Charlotte was calming Jay down over his pinkie finger, Nathan finally fixed up the shield module. Solaris, who was the module's expert, checked up on Nathan to see if there were any flaws upon fixing the shield module. She grabbed out a check-list and slid out a pencil from her pocket.
"How's the shield module?" Asked Solaris "Everything is doing well, the module was reinstalled and is running perfectly" Nathan replied
Solaris nodded and walked over to the module, that looked functional at her first glance, so she began writing notes on some minor flaws, corrosion, and all of that. Once Solaris was done she headed back to where Nathan was sitting, and threw the check-list at Nathan while he was enjoying a peanut butter chocolate sandwich. After Nathan finished eating up he looked at the check-list and saw the things Solaris written, and shrugged as if the minor damages were not necessary.
-Kelly-
Kelly was a tall girl with high expectations. She used to work at NASA 1 year before the crisis began. Kelly was the commander of the station and was in charge of installing back modules and walls if they were damaged. Basically, she was a repairing person. Kelly was in the control site fixing the communication centre when a small explosion was heard. Worried for her crew, she ran over to the main lobby and saw that an asteroid had penetrated the hull and nearly hit Nathan, who looked at the asteroid in fear. When Kelly peaked out of the damaged hull, she saw what looked like a dozen medium-sized asteroids coming, about to penetrate the hull more
"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" she yelled. Jay and Nathan ran together and hid behind a table. Kelly hid inside the Cafeteria room and Charlotte and Solaris just stood there, in shock as the asteroids keep getting closer. Kelly, who feared for her friends ran out of her hiding spot and grabbed the two, and she dive in just in time when the asteroids hit through, damaging the hull and scraped the floor. Everyone was in shock as the asteroids weren't the typical rock and iron types, but a green-ish type with what looked like purple spots covering it. Kelly, who was concerned why the asteroids was like this, mined off a sample with Nathan's tools and took it to the research room, conducting experiments.
Nathan walked up closer to the asteroid, and touched it with his bare hands. Nathan yelped in pain when the asteroid burned his hand. "This isn't just some ordinary asteroid" said Nathan, and looked out of the broken wall, only to see a huge asteroid belt with asteroids ranging from different colours, which were hard to see with the naked eye. So Nathan ran and grabbed a telescope, to observe it better.
Jay walked up to Nathan to get a quick glance, and saw what Nathan saw. But not only that, he pushed Nathan and he fell to the floor, groaning in pain
Jay magnified the telescope by 500x, and saw a multi-coloured gas giant, that the asteroids were orbiting. This wasn't just any asteroid belt, it was a ring.
