>Everyone looks at you
 
>"What? Dude, you know that we're clearly outgunned, right?" asks Pierce.
>"Its too dangerous Anon!" Faith cries out.
>"They're right, pretending to be 'Lightspeed the Space Agent' wont help anyone" says Raymond.
 
"Nononono, think about it guys, what happens after they forget about us? They will go straight for the research station. The station has minimal defenses and even if we call for help the damage will be done. You know these guys raid fast and leave fast."
>You point at the sensor visuals.
 
"Thanks to Trystan, we have the strategic advantage. They cannot detect us, right?. Trys, can our guns take them down?"
>"I think...yes, pirate gunships are geared for damage and speed, they have low defenses. I think we have a few shield penetrating missiles that can take down the freighter." Trystan quickly calculates the odds with the computer.
 
"See? We can do this, this is what we were trained to do. We can't just walk away." You say, you have never been so determined before.
 
>Your friends exchange looks, but they soon agree with you.
 
>"Well, Anon is right." Says Abe.
>"We must stop them here and now before they do any more damage."
>"Eh, I was never known to run away from fights" Deb smiles.
>"You're right, we can't let them hurt innocent people." Faith agrees.
 
"Come on, I don't think we got much time." You look at Trystan.
>"Okay, Debbie, approach them slowly. And Pierce? Ready the plasma cannons and someone control the missiles. We attack at the same time." Trystan always knew what he was doing.
 
>"I was born ready, baby." Pierce stretches his fingers.
>"I got the missile controls!" Raymond turns on the weapons.
 
>The ship approaches the pirates. Waiting for them to be within the weapon's range.
 
>"We will use the sensors to lock down on the targets. I really hope the improvements are good enough for this." Trystan says this while furiously operating the controls, few static effects appear on the sensor viewer.
>Everyone is holding their breath.
>When the weapons lock on-
 
>"NOW!" Shouts Trystan.
>Two missiles rush towards the freighter and plasma blasts head towards the gunship.
>The missiles meet their target and so does the cannons.
>The pirate freighter explodes.
>You all let out a short cheer but turn back as something odd is happening.
>Its like something in the space cloud doesn't like having things exploding inside of it.
>Some kind of electric discharge and unknown force is appearing near the explosion
>You realize something is wrong and open your mouth to say something.
>This unknown force hits your ship.
>It all happens in a split second.
>Some kind of strong electric charge rushes inside the cockpit.
>It hits everyone inside.
>Everything goes white before your eyes.
 
>You wake up.
>What? Where- then you slowly remember.
>Jesus fucking what, what the hell was that, what the fucking hell?
>You notice you are on the floor, you try to stand up but its hard for some reason, this head pain is murder.
 
"Guys? You alright? Guys?"
>You see that the cockpit is empty, there are uniforms and stuff on the floor, what the hell.
"Computer, locate the crew."
>'The rest of the crew are no longer on board'
>What.
"Computer, I said locate the crew."
>'You are the only person on board.'
"What? That is impossible I-."
>You look around, there are uniforms of your friends on the floor and things like their glasses, family photo, a scrunchy...
>and you notice that there are piles of dust or ashes on the floor almost shaped like a human.
>Realization hits like a hovertruck.
 
>NO, no no no no this is not fucking happening this must be a mistake.
>Then you suddenly feel sick, you puke all over the control panel for minutes.
>After a while you notice there is light coming through the window.
>Light source? like what, artificial one or an actual sun?
>Where the hell are you supposed to be?
>You take a peek outside.
>You see trees and what looks like sunlight.
>Did you arrive at some dome colony or something?
 
"Computer, where are we located?"
>No response.
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE YOU PIECE OF SHIT?"
>'Unknown'
>Hell with this, either way it seems you arrived somewhere with atmosphere. You need fucking help.
>You stagger your way out of the cockpit and in front the airlock
>You punch the controls and the sealed door makes noises and starts to open
>Yes, that confirms you can breathe out here.
 
>You head outside, the weather seems... nice? You don't see a dome shaped sky above you.
>What the, are you on Earth or something? Its just too fucking confusing.
>You see what looks like a town not so far away.
>Finally, you can get some help.
>Then your legs give out, you hit the dirt.
>You are about to faint. You can see silhouettes approaching you, dogs, maybe?
"Get help."
>You black out.
