You thought perhaps you had been dreaming. There was this giant ball of light that you got too close to and it zapped you to death. You were alive and the long hallways of the station must be having quite a toll on your mental health.
It was quite dark when you opened your eyes. Your first thought perhaps the lighting in the room you were just in went out. You moved the arm your wristwatch is on around to shed the light to see where you were.
You found yourself in quite a small and hot room. Wanting to get some fresh air as it was rather stuffy in the room you found yourself in you went towards the door. The door itself looked rather odd not like any of the ones on the station.
Perhaps you had been dreaming this entire time you were on a massive space station in the first place? The door however did not look like one on your ship either. Perhaps you tripped and bumped your head somewhere and forgot where you were exploring? There was only one way to find out.
You opened the door and the cold came rushing in. You stood there in horror as you looked out of the door. You were on what appeared to be an ice planet and there must have been a blizzard going on outside.
As the small room you were in filled with coldness, you closed the door again. Thankfully it did not take long before the room became warm again. Granted your space suit came in rather handy in attempting to regulate your body temperature so only your face got a grasp of how cold it was outside.
This was not the station. Not at all. Not the only way the floor, walls, and ceiling are the wrong color. There was an ice planet outside of the door! You felt like you were a rat trapped in a small box.
You decided to collect your thoughts and eat a food cube. Judging by your wristwatch you might have only been out for around 12 hours. Eating some food, however, did not help much.
You felt rather hopeless once the thought that your spaceship was up in space who knows how far away. If all you had was this small room it seemed rather reasonable that you would not survive for very long.
You paced the room for quite a while. Trying to get up the nerve to open the door again. This time when you did however it was nightfall. While you had the intent to go exploring this was not the time. You decided to try and get some rest.
You had this rather nasty dream you were stuck in the middle of a blizzard and frozen to death. That the snow was falling so hard you did not see your ship was just a few steps away and all you had to do was make it to it to survive.
You opened your eyes in a panic to realize you were still in the small room. You went to open the door this time and it was daytime yet again. Not wanting to spend any more time in this small room you decided to leave it and go out exploring.
As soon as the door to the small room closed behind you the entire thing disappeared. Your heart sank. At least you had your space suit on you from exploring that station. You would not be freezing any time soon. You however needed to find some kind of shelter.
You started to survey the land looking for anything that might be useful for shelter. That is when you heard quite a loud sound and notice something was falling from the sky.
As you watched the flash of colors of the object you started to panic. Whatever it appeared like it was going to crash at the very spot you were standing at. You started to run as fast as you could away from the other.
With a loud thump and crushing of snow, the object landed. It almost sounded like a booster of an engine was used to slow down the object. As you turned around you realized it was your spaceship. You rushed up to it and the ramp door opened so you could go inside to get out of the snow.
You rushed up to the helm of the ship to work out what had happened. The computer on the ship noticed your signal on station Q-877 has vanished. It attempted to regain a connection to your wristwatch by boosting the scanner's strength.
That was all it needed to do to reconnect to the probe that was sent to I-IIK-9844. The probe there did pick up your signal and reported back to the ship’s computer you were at I-IIK-9844. Puzzled the computer attempted to send you a message for a few hours but after it could not it set off on a day-and-a-half journey to I-IIK-9844.
You started to realize once inside the ship just how badly you stank. You had done a lot of walking and exploring at that station. It was time for a proper shower, new clothing, and getting some real sleep in a bed.
You awoke the next day wondering what you should do first. That is when an alert had come up on the computer that it had found it. The resource you were looking for this entire time was somewhere on this planet-- Golden Paradox 384. Where it was coming from was however unknown. The computer seemed to be rather puzzled about its location of it while it was trying to pinpoint where it was.
