Hyper Space

Hyper Space

Space might also have a nice personality but here’s hoping it’s the former.

Chapter 1 by DemoonMunkay DemoonMunkay

(Author’s note: I like to start stories. Everything else is up to ya’ll. If you like the way the Introduction started and it sparks something for you then feel free to add on to it. This story will be PUBLIC, I wanna see this story go nuts. This is meant to be a massive crossover fiction. That means anything from Star Trek to Mass Effect to Dead Space is fair game. Have fun kids.)

There’s a violent rattle shaking most of the crewmen in their stasis pods. There is a moment of silence and inactivity before a yellow light begins to flash as a synthesized voice is heard over the ship’s loud speakers. It’s muffled by the anti-contact glass of the pods. Once they begin to open the crew slowly awaken to one of their nightmares from training.

“..gency. Auto-navigation disengaged. Hard-light Holo-crew disengaged. Engines damaged and disengaged. Hull plating damaged along port nacelle. Life support online and re-engaged. Artificial gravity re-engaged. Chain of command intact. Captain awake. Senior officers awakening. Emergency Engineering teams awakening. Emergency Maintenance teams awakening. Emergency Medical teams standing by in medical bay...”

The announcements continue as the crew member’s pods keep opening, allowing them move around, get dress and head to their duty stations. There’s an obvious scramble for uniforms and gear as the crew make haste to find out what’s wrong with the ship.

The synthetic voice is cut-off mid sentence by a flesh and blood announcer. “This is the Captain. All Emergency teams report to your stations immediately. Your Supervisors have been briefed and will begin handing out assignments. If you want to live to see another day I heavily suggest you double time it. That means NOW people!” The loudspeaker clicks off and the flashing lights are replaced with a solid red light.

There’s speculation running about what might have damaged the engines. An attack, maybe a comet, malfunction, the rumors continue. Your pod finally opens and announces your Name, Rank, Species, and Job on the ship...

Who are you and where are you going?
