I am floating through the empty space. I have made it out of the Milky Way galaxy and I am entering the glowing boundaries. I am working my next moves out in my head. The stars are beautiful. They glow ominously just sitting there, shining perfectly. A red light flickers on the dash board. The planet ahead of me shines with a glazed frosting. I am just ahead of it. The ship starts to sink down.

I'm going to have to crash land. I grip the steering wheel so tight my fingers hurt. As I begin to come down, the nose of the air craft is tilting forward. Only a few feet away now as I prepare myself for the impact. The red light is flashing more rapidly now. It's screaming at me to stop the ship. I collide with the planet. The soft surface doesn't hold the ship coming down onto it. I scream at the top of my lungs. My eyes are in slits, barely seeing the head of the ship digging away the creamy surface. The ship shakes so violently I feel sick.

"Captain! Captain, are you alright?" I hear in my head piece.

My teeth are pushed together so tightly I can't let any words escape. As the rattling starts to settle and the power quiets down, I loosen my grip and begin to calm myself.

A few minutes later, I decide to see if the hatch will even open. After using a little force, it does. I enter into a massive cave. At least sixteen feet high and sixteen feet wide. There is a strong aroma of vanilla. It's also cold. Cold enough to need a jacket or a coat. All I can see is a dark figure standing on the other end. I take a few steps forward before pulling out my weapon. I lean forward and squint to get a better look. I take two more steps forward and I feel a sharp pain, and I black out.
