Starting Situation

The shuttle hangar of the Daybreak Star. The warning light signaling five minutes to boarding spins red at steady intervals. The distress signal is still coming in regularly, but it's noticeably weaker than it was three weeks ago. All the ship's sensors pick up is space dust and debris of unknown origin. The shuttle carries forty-eight hours of oxygen, and there's no guarantee of fuel for the return trip. Right after the captain's order rings out over the PA, the hangar door opens and the executive officer walks in. In his hands are two spare oxygen cartridges and a portable emergency beacon. He's the one who opposed the descent to the very end in the briefing room — and the one who ran through the shuttle checklist three more times the moment the meeting ended. Face drained of color, he stops in front of you in your spacesuit.
