THE DAWN OF DAY

On the Aegir:

" Hurry up! We haven't got time to joke around, you know?!" Stace Collet yelled at the last surge of people helping her out. She had to put up a brave face to urge others to do the same.

She had to keep the others high spirited.

She had to...

"ATTENTION ALL INHABITANTS OF THE AEGIR - 577! KINDLY STRAP ONTO YOUR HARNESSES! BE WITHIN THE VICINITY OF YOUR PARTNER AND FAMILY AT ALL TIMES!"

The announcement system blared as she quickly sent orders to set it on loop.

Most of the people have already assembled in the stages that were set for this. She wheeled herself onto the ramp and into the Command Centre.

To add a bit of humour in.

" Alright everyone!! You're all doing a great job. You will receive a helmet to protect your head. Wear it and relax...maybe we'll treat you some music. You never know!" She sighed a sign of relief as if an indication that everything would be alright.

To give them hope.

" Cause you wouldn't want an uncooked omelette for an head, right?" She heard giggles behind her as she pouted and slammed the microphone down, causing a sonic boom.

Oops.

She sunk even further into the cushion of her wheelchair and drifted into a siesta, from exhaustion. She hadn't slept in a week and a half, anyways.

"-s possible as well." ATACC beeped on the angles as accurate he could think of.

To skim a freakin spaceship was one thing. Landing it on a se- ocean was in another level of insanity altogether.

Stace noticed Jason falling asleep as she subconsciously lowered her voice and in a while, she told ATACC with a smile to drag his butt to his room.

Which was more of a death threat to the poor electric man.

After ending transmission, she took about 6 pills of high grade caffeine since she hasn't slept in 53 hours, 17 minutes and still counting.

" Dr.Collet! Your presence is required in the quarantine sector. Dr.Stace Collet, report to the quarantine sector ASAP" Daniel called out on the system.

" We ain't in the army, who even uses ASAP these days?"

" COMING!" She said with a sigh. And then wondered who she said that to.

She made a vow to make this turn out well. Jason shouldn't be the one to carry all the burden.

" Let's just do it. Are the beacons ready?" Stace crunched the numbers again, with a pen on her mouth as Daniel pulled it out and put it in her lab coat.

" We will make it." He said with a smile. He ruffled her hair as he fastened her to her seat and fasteners the seat to the harness, coughing and wiping his mouth with a nearby piece of cloth, dispensing it to the trash.

The cloth had blood stains. Stace pretended not to notice.

" Buckle up, buckle up! This is the new VR in real life technology! We're gonna make a simulation test! We hope you like it! Cause it's gonna be a rough landing anyways!" She yelled on the microphone.

" WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH A LANDING PEOPLE! MAKE SURE NOT TO TAKE THEM OFF CAUSE WE'RE DOING THIS ONLY ONCE!"
