USSS Peregrine...

Gently, the waves of consciousness roll back, a light wave comes and collapses among the sands of your mind, waking you from this deep, long, sleep. You keep your eyes shut for a moment longer, attempting to remember everything about yourself and what you are doing after so long a sleep. A light, slightly metallic but masculine in nature, voice sounds within your right ear, it occurs to you that there is something cold embedded in your right ear lobe.

<intercom to all> "welcome back, Captain Jim Harskfen"

It all rushes back so quickly, the take off, the flight, being unable to terraform Alpha Centauri 1, the deep sleep to survive while the shuttle takes autopilot in order to attempt to find another planet. You open your eyes, blinking to try and regain focus after the sleep, the dim lighting on board the ship helping you in your task. "wait... dim lighting? shouldn't the lights have gone on full since I'm awake?" You think about it for a moment and then put it off for a bit. Getting up, you look around at the other fully clothed crewmembers waiting for you to hit the button to release the sleep stasis, at which point they will wake up by themselves. Walking to the door you pass the button on your way into the main corridor.
::hits stasis release button::
::walks east into corridor::
you walk into the hallway and see a corridor stretching two doors to your left, and two doors to your right. a door appears to be at either end of the hallway, as well as the five doors on either side of the hallway. an indentation in the middle of the floor houses a cord that runs through the indentation into every room, the largest cord running to the south.
::turns left and walks through the doors in the end::


if you didn't know about all of the miraculous technological advancements for the past few years, you would not have been able to imagine what purpose this room holds, maybe a radio room. No, this room holds the heart of the ship, the bridge of the USSS Peregrine. People back home with the Unified Strategic Survival System, whose job is to ensure that human life continues despite our destruction of our home ecology, sent us with lots of supplies to start a new home, all in the back two rooms on both sides of the engine room. Looking around the room you see flashing lights and steady lights, levers and switches, and other steering and control paraphernelia. Two of the lights are flashing bright red, and another light is a steady orange.
::disengage viewing window armor lock::
the two feet of metal plating that covers the window opens up and gives you a bright, colored view of a green planet below. "green means plant life, which means we did it!"

<captain to all> "hooray, we did it!"

::jumps in air gleefully::
As you jump blindly with glee you barely catch a glimpse of something move past the window. Stopping immediately, you suspiciously decide to check what those lights are all about. The orange light states that the orbit is slightly unstable, though you feel no turbulence that usually shows that there si some orbital disquiet. As you look at the two red lights, however, your eyes get wide and you frantically start pressing buttons and switching levers. Before you can finish, though, you glance up at the sound of a tapping on the viewing window. Nothing is there! Stunned by confusion, you can't help but stand still in shock. The taps get louder, and you smell the oxygen beginning to escape, the lighter oxygen content sparks some life into you, old training takes over, and you begin sealing hatches as tight as they can be, which will take an hour average to open from the security room later. As you seal the last door and move towards closing the viewing window armor lock, a tinkling of glass hitting glass fills the chamber, and you press the button only in time to feel the air rush out of the room, with you along with it. No time to think, only pain, though the most pain is in your right ear.
you saved your friends, but you were buried, as the old sailors were not too long before they invented this technology, buried at space.
