"Warning, engine failure. Warning, engine failure..." I blinked my eyes open, the pod flashing red so was the screen. I woke up and pushed myself from the ceiling to the floor and to the control panel. "Shit, please no." Debris had hit the front hull of my pod and I was now drifing through space, out of the orbit of Elepha14 (planet heading for). "Activate back up jets." I requested. "Off line." "For fucks sake, override back up jets please!" I screamed and the machine paused. "Off line." My throat closed up and walls closed in. My eyes burned as my heart skipped a beat, "Oh my God." I cried, "I'm going to die out here." I wanted to not exist. I started to laugh, "I am going to fucking die out here!" I screamed as I slammed the panel, cracking the glass. "I don't want to die!" I said, tears floating off my face. "Chance of survival?" I aske the AI.
