Space Story Intro -
Well honestly, I don’t really know where to start. I’m not really even sure what the point of all this is. Well, I guess we could start at the attack? Yeah sounds good. Alright so, I’m not sure on the exact date but, it was somewhere just beyond the derious belt. Yes I think that sounds about right. At that time, I was a cadet in the G.F.C. I don’t know what it is about space, the vast openness, the overwhelming lights, or the freedom of flight; but it always gets to me. We made the trip to Gemini Station every month or so, but every single time it felt like the first. I remember I would look to left of my cockpit and see Juniper. The enormous size was almost overwhelming, but not quite so. The blue planet was beautiful, and very …show more content…

I set the throttle to full ahead, putting every ounce of power my ship had into going forward. I noticed the ship to my left began to angle itself toward the asteroid as well. Maybe they had the same idea. The ship got closer to mine and I could see the pilot give me a distinct thumbs up. The missiles were seconds away from impact. I did my best to steer my attention away from the beeps and flashes of my panels and focus more on the task at hand. Just a few more seconds would do the trick. I can’t really explain the rest in much detail. All I remember is a boom. The loudest I’ve ever heard. So intense it shook my entire ship. My ship spun out of control. The beeping didn’t stop though. Two seconds, three seconds, and I still wasn’t dead. I managed to stabilize my course and took a look behind myself. What used to be an asteroid was more like a broken teacup. The ships pouring around it jarred me out of my daze.
