Red lights were flashing all over the ship. A loud alarm could be heard whining throughout in tandem with the lights. The passengers of the ship quickly dashed to the escape pods and typed in co-ordinates. Cracking to life the intercom system voiced a warning. “LIFE SUPPORT WILL FAIL IN APPROXIMATELY T-MINUS 20 MINUTES, ALL CREW PLEASE HEAD TO THE ESCAPE PODS.”. In a hurry the ship’s passengers hauled as much into the other pods as they could and jettisoned the remaining contents of the cargo bay into space hoping some would fall to the planet below near them. “T-MINUS 2 MINUTES” The pair clambered into the pods and fired themselves at the planet.
