- Day 7
- Stardate: 2408.01.21
- (SS Sky of Tomorrow - Command Deck- CO- Captain Jason Carter- 1000)
Jason, rushed down the darkening corridor as the scraping continued behind him. He leapt over the discarded EVA suit that lay crumpled in the corridor, there'd be no time to put it on now.
He hadn't anticipated things going so badly so quickly.
The lighting flickered as he quickly stepped through the blast door onto the bridge. A small shower of sparks fell from a damaged conduit in the roof.
He slapped his hand against the emergency close button just as it rounded the corner.
The door slammed closed with a resounding clang.
"Computer activate self destruct mechanism. Authorization Carter Alpha one."
[Unable to comply. Self destruct mechanism is not functional,]
"Damn it!" Jason swore, they must have guessed his plans, now he couldn't stop it here.
"Computer " Jason paused. Time was running out
There was a pounding on the door, at first it was the dull thud of flesh and bone against the bulkhead. Then there was the clanging of metal on metal.
He looked around the bridge looking for anything that he could use as a weapon when they came through the door. He knew it was futile, but he couldn't resist the sense of false security that even an ineffective weapon offered him.
"Computer, he began again, "record following. And broadcast on all emergency frequencies. Activate telemetry beacon."
[Beacon activated. Recording transmission.]
"Attention any federation ship this is the UFP freighter Sky of Tomorrow, we need immediate assistance. Say again immediate assistance…"
The power fluctuated then. Everything went black.
He heard the door open. It was an emergency protocol to prevent someone from being trapped on the bridge during a power failure.
He could hear them shuffling in the dark.
"Get back!" he screamed frantically. "Get away from me!"
There was pain then and screaming…. Quietly the computer recorded every sound, transmitting it for everyone to hear the demise of Captain Jason Carter.
