Location: Lunar Surface (impact crater)
Mood: 30% disbelief, 70% bruised astronaut pride
I orbited the Moon for 24 hours. Okay, I slept 18 of them—space is exhausting.
All of a sudden, I was thrown into a death spiral toward the Moon. Panic set in. My breath caught. I pictured Earth’s blue dot drifting away forever.
I mashed every lever I knew: power relays, ignition circuits, even shouted every space-movie quote I could remember:
“Houston, we have a problem.”
“May the Force be with you.”
“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“To infinity and beyond!”
“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise…”
“E.T. phone home.”
“We are Groot.”
“Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.”
“In space, no one can hear you scream.”
“Get away from her, you bitch!”
Nothing worked. The screens stayed black. MIRA silent. My heart pounded in zero-G.
In the moment, it might’ve looked like I was reactivating critical systems or manually rerouting ignition—like a real astronaut on a mission. But in truth? I was just frantically smashing every button on the dashboard, like a panicked monkey launched into a rocket. I had absolutely no idea how this damn tin can was supposed to work.
Then—in a blinding flash—all systems roared back to life. Alarms, consoles, engines: every gauge sprang awake simultaneously, hurling us straight at the surface.
The ship lurched. I held on for dear life. The view outside blurred. And then—BOOM. A violent impact, clouds of dust, metal groaning… followed by crushing silence.
° Hull integrity: compromised.
° Oxygen reserves: intact.
° Astronaut status: not critical.
° Vital organs: unaffected.
° Entering survival mode. Initiating MIRA hibernation until partial recovery possible.
You've stayed until the end of the countdown.
You've just won: "wasting useless time! I'm too funny, man"
MIRA
Save Max and me—we’re still alive!
