Lost in Transition
Posted byPosted: Sep 28, 2013, 4:36pm
In the cold, ever expanding space of... space. A small vessel drifts aimlessly, out of fuel after their last transition out of a hop. Inside, two men sit in the cockpit. One of them is Boyd Weathers, an experienced pilot with an interesting past, sleeping at the controls. And the other, Boyd's dead friend, Chet Mathers, dead at the controls. Boyd jolts of his sound sleep, almost falling out of his chair, he starts patting his head in a hurry. He looks over at his long-since-passed friend, Chet.
"Chet? CHET! What did you do with my hat! MY HAT CHET! THE LEATHER ONE!!! Christ! Last time I trust you with anything! WAKE UP YOU LAZY BASTARD!"
Boyd jumped out of the chair and out of the cockpit to the messy passenger cabin in the back. He starts russling through piles of clothing and dishes, in a hurry, looking for his pilot's helmet. Suddenly, he heard some thumping in the dish washer, he opened it and found not only his hat, but his socks too. He put on the hot leather helmet and proceeded to the cockpit.
"So Chet... OW! HAT! WHY DO YOU HURT ME?! Anyway, did you fix the fuel situation yet?"
Chet didn't respond.
"I sent you out days ago! We're running out of food! FIND SOME! Gaw! I have to do everything Chet!"
Boyd sat down in the pilot's chair, attempting once more to start the ship, which has no reaction. Out of no where, his radar and signal tracker start flaring.
"Huh? What? A Ship? Dang it! I'm to far to Identify it!"
Boyd picks up the portable signal tracker and proceeds to the back of the ship to put on a hot pink space suit that used to belong to a tourist. He steps through the airlock and outside of his ship, "Mrs. Lady." The view of space was sorta intimidating to Boyd, he felt scared.
"No! NO! MOTHER DON'T LET ME FALL! NO!"
He grabbed to the side of Mrs. Lady and pulled out the portable signal tracker. He climbed to the top of the ship to get a better signal.
"Hmm. It's closer. It's big! What is it. GERK! WHAT IF IT'S THE CFTCOAH INC. CORPORATION?!"
He started spinning around on top of Mrs. Lady, trying to follow the signal.
"Where are you? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?!"
As he had his backed turned to the starboard side, the ship came right next to Mrs. Lady, it wasn't a CFTCOAH inc. Corporation ship, it was Blue Dwarf. Boyd kept circling the top of Mrs. Lady, looking for the signal.
"Where are you? WHERE ARE YOU?!"
