Argenti he/him Posted March 30, 2025 Posted March 30, 2025 (edited) 9 hours ago, IcedOutPenguin said: Previous Page Next Page Previous Page Next Page Previous Page Next Page Draxion watched from the orbital station as Titan began its final deceleration by the end of the hour, the terraforming drones would begin lasering Titan, and it would be habitable in a decade or two. His calculations had been spot on and Titan was heading right to the expected orbital trajectory, directly across from Earth going on the same orbit at the same speed. He ran another check with the main computer, and everything was going perfe- hang on... Why did Titan suddenly gain some extra spin? That wasn't correct. He rechecked the calculations, and the moon wasn't slowing down anymore. It was speeding up! Draxion overlaid the orbital control systems panel in his vision. Bosters 1-12 were accelerating instead of decelerating. He tried to quickly gain access to reset their trajectory, he could fix this; he had been able to fix everything before- He was being firewalled? Why/ he had all the authorization codes. He quickly checked the other boosters to see if he had access, and he did. Over the next hour, he could do nothing but watch as 30 years of his life killed 300 billion people. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later. Draxion awoke on the ship, it had been frantic getting on. He still didn't remember all of what happened. Senetor Unraili had tried to get him arrested for "Sabotaging" the mission. He didn't do it, but it couldn't be Unraili. He'd been avid about the project ever since it was announced to the public 51 years ago. Charactor reference sheet.
