Collision Course

Enter Grant: Systems Down

Enter Grant: Systems Down

Aug 12, 2018

“We're about to go down.” Grant sounds panicked, which is an honest testament to how dire the situation is. The controls are fighting him even as he tries to punch in several Captain override codes, twisting and corrupting them as they flash across the screen, sometimes even ignoring them as they are. His voice strengthens with effort, a skill he's learned from living with a Nevitian for several months. He takes several attempts at button mashing before he finds a dial that actually works, and luckily it's one he can properly work with. The crackle of static clues Grant in to the opened frequency, and especially so when a drawling tone pipes up.

“Sir. All systems failing. I have reserved power to environmental controls so we don't suffocate on our own oxygen-breathing by-products.”

“Fantastic, and blunt as always if I may say. Any chance we can return control to the main interface?”

A beat. “That'd take a miracle and a half, not to mention a few tweaks to the outer hull. It seems like the external damage from that chunk of debris was enough to knock out impulse and main control. Otherwise... no. We can't do anything.”

Grant stares at the approaching comet with deadly determination. “Then we all die.”

Life in the 26th century is different, to say the least. The Earth is dying and nearly unlivable to humans (entirely, to most others), the Terran Union is allied with four major extraterrestrial species, and everyone has a place where they belong, whether that be in the very quadrant one was born or in another galaxy altogether. On this hectic adventure of finding his mom and clearing his name, Grant Orion Vonté finds himself with an ever-growing group of friends to help light the way, and he may even find that what he was looking for was right under his nose all along.

//I'm starting college in a couple of weeks, so updates may be spotty until I determine how heavy a workload I'll be under, but I'll try to update at least weekly. Hope you enjoy!\\
