The spacecraft raced towards the blackhole.
" Is that a blackhole" Edu screamed, almost in tears. " we are doomed, we are damned" he added hitting the buttons roughly." Will you calm down" I shouted at him.
Then I tried to restart the spacecraft,
" not authorised " it said back at me.
" what the hell!!" I shouted angrily.I was out of options, suicidal options like evacuating from the spacecraft became reasonable to me. we were getting closer to the blackhole, it was right ahead of the spacecraft. I began to restart the spacecraft manually. Edu was no help at all, he was just shivering on the pilot's seat, praying with a cross on his hand.
I managed to restart the spacecraft and rushed back to my seat to check the distance left to reach the blackhole.
It was to late!!, the gravitational pull of the blackhole had already began to pull us in." it is over! " I cried, banging my palm continuously on the buttons in front of me.
Suddenly, a miraculous thing happened. Sparkling light shone brightly at us. It was close to the blackhole. It was a wormhole!! I quickly grabbed Edu, who as still panicking, by his cloth.
" Get a hold of yourself" I screamed at him. The I pointed at the wormhole close by.
" that is our escape route, since we are not very close we can beat the gravitational pull of the blackhole and with a little pull from the wormhole we can escape death. " I summarized my plan.
" will this work?" he asked beginning to calm down.
" what other option do we have?"We began the plan immediately.
" we are using full power, are you sure you want to continue, sir" the computer warned.
Without any hesitation I hit the affirmative button. The spacecraft began to move against the pull of the blackhole.
" come on, come on!!" I shouted steering the spacecraft towards the wormhole.
" it seems the power is not enough!! " Edu screamed, " at this rate the blackhole will win!!"
