Beep, beep, beep,

That was the only sound ever heard by Arthur for 2 years, 28 days, and 2 hours, for 10 years he has kept the ship floating in this desolate cesspit of the galaxy, only bairly managing to not go insane with the help of the captain, and he only manges to come out of cryo stasis every three years to make sure everything is still operating at peak officensy.

Beep, beep, beep, beep,

"If I have to hear it for one more year im setting the ship to self destruct," he whispered into the dark command deck

Unknown anomaly detected weapons offline structural integrity is failing

"No.." He whispers as the ship is violently thrown to the side, a distortion appears on the scream scanning anomaly...sir, its a black hole...

Arthur freezes for a moment as a look of horror passes over his face, "reverse thrusters to full power! Get us away from it now!" He screams as the proximity alarm blares down the hallways and rooms of the ship a explosion rips the weapon batteries from the hull

Unable to comply damage to the ships super structure is immanent, probability of escaping the gravitational feild of the anomaly is 0,00007 percent.

"is there anyway to get the colonists to safety?" Negative. Arthur thinks for a moment as sounds of the hull buckling rings through the ship "project the shields around the cryo bays and shut down the fusion reactor prepare to enter the anomaly..." he says unsure as the lights and monitors flicker

Sir structural integrity is failing, time till entering the event horizon, 53 seconds.

Arthur looks down at the floor as his holo projectors shut down one by one, "prepare for all possible outcomes computer," he says calmly as the hull begins to buckle he watches the final moments as the salvation enters the black hole, forever gone from the milky way,
