Belong with the Stars

Error! Error! Error!

 Crew —Sir, What's this for?—

NASA —Security protocol, basically just checking in on you. Everything running smoothly?—

Crew —Looks good to us, good?—

NASA —Ok, that's all we needed, just don't forget to manage fuel. Escape pods in emergency are 3 seaters, so there should be a spot for all. Good luck, we'll check again tommorow, same time.—

Crew —Bye sir! See you sometime soon!—

     The group was exhausted from the disorientation, and lack of food, so all made a trip to the cafeteria zone to get their food. It was little pellets stocked with protein, vitamins, and all other sources of nutrition inside the compact pellet.

     Jason and Cassie were almost paralyzed, as they couldn't move, shocked at how fast things went downwards. However, while his body wasn't moving, his mind was racing. Whilst everyone panicked and scrambled about, trying to find a solution, the walls started to pull out a bit and Jason grabbed Cassie's hand,  and instinctively led her to the escape pods. No one considered this except Jason. Jason couldn't get the entirety of the team to the pods at the moment, as they would be near impossible to convince, as most were as stubborn as Mark. Jason brought an entire bucket of the space food, and stole as many water containers as he could grab, and tossed them in the pod. He hopped in, and wished for the best. Everyone else was left behind...
