What the hell had happened?
The ship lurched hard and I toppled back, smashing against the bulkhead, the wind knocked out of me.
Painfully, I pulled myself up and lurched into the pilot’s chair. The viewports were just a mess of video static and the console’s lights danced in a blur, but I just kept staring at them until I was able to make out what was going on.
It didn’t make sense.
The displays showed every single warning lit up red: pressure, atmosphere, radiation, gravity, acceleration, impact sensors, battle alerts, prox, everything. The din of alarms was going to either deafen me or drive me insane. I frantically pawed at the console, until I found the interface reset.
One by one the warnings winked off, the alarms silenced themselves, and the viewports darkened.
At least I could think now.
Once I confirmed that the automatic stabilizers and inertial dampeners were engaged and the prox plates were charged, I told the navsys to park us where we were. No reason for us to be going anywhere until I figured out what was going on.
The viewports came back online just as I initiated a systems check.
Holy shit.
We weren’t at the Fountain any more. We weren’t even in space.
The forward viewport showed a blanket of thick clouds stretching out to the horizon. I cycled through the rest of the hull cams and saw more clouds, with the aft cameras also revealing a distant mountain range peeking through the clouds.
Odd. We were definitely in atmosphere, on a planet. But this didn’t look like Yueld—and according to the navsys, it wasn’t.
In fact, when I tried to call up our location from the database, only one word popped up.
UNKNOWN.
