"Flero report to the bridge. Immediately," says a voice over the comm. After hearing that I go directly to the bridge as instructed and find the captain waiting for me.
"There you are I was thinking you wouldn't come."
"I got here as soon as I heard the announcement, but I was all the way back in engineering. What do you need me for sir."
"We all know you are the best pilot we got. We need you to pilot a shuttle for a recon mission to the world called Abregado-rae, and to test our fusion technology. It is for the good of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium."
"Yes sir when do I depart?"
"Immediately."
"Yes sir."
Later…
"Base this is scout vessel one. I am approaching jump coordinates, switching over to fusion power. Power switched, all numbers holding steady."
"Confirmed, you may jump when ready."
"Copy that base, inputting jump coordinates. Wish me luck," and with that I jump to the distant world of Abregado-rae.
About a day later several alarms go off and I find that the reactor is overheating and drop out of hyperspace to let it cool. After letting it cool I attempt to jump back to hyperspace but instead of jumping, one of the ship's engines explodes sending me on a death spiral into the atmosphere of an oceanic planet. Just when I manage to right the ship it crashes into an island, knocking me unconscious.
A couple hours later…
I wake up to a very strange sight. I am in a hospital being looked over by a race that obviously descended from aquatic mammals, "Where am I?" I ask in basic.
"You are in a hospital under the surface of the planet Selonia," responds an alien, "What species are you? What is your profession."
"I am Ssi-ruuk. To answer your second question, I am a scientist, but I can fight if need be. How are my injuries?"
"We know very little of your anatomy, but we have done as much as we could."
"So how are my injuries?" I ask getting a tad impatient.
