I could feel the ship shuddering underneath me. My vision slowly coming back to me. For awhile I thought my vision was still shocked, but I was quite surprised that maybe I was seeing normally. That the... space... outside was making the light. Looking out I could see something that was similar to a tunnel, my fighter slowly turning in circles around it as I sped down it.
(imagine something like the time tunnels from Doctor Who, if ya ever seen that.)
Looking down and across the instrument panel, I could see that many of the controls were dead. There were some red lights blinking, but there was no sound. I could not even hear my self moving. It was... perfect silence. Absolutly no sound.
It was as if I was suspended in time, but I was feeling the passage of it easily enough.
I tried to speak, but no sound came out of my mouth. I tried to press a few of the buttons on the console, but nothing worked.
Suddenly the fighter shuddered very violently, then there was a jerk and the blackness of space reappeared around me. Sounds began to flood the cabin surprising me into a shocked state before recovering.
"Warning warning! Gravity Well Detected! Unable to compensate! Alert, Engines are not responding, manuver drives inoperable. Gravity Well Detected."
"No, No no! Computer Engage Backup systems!"
"Unable to comply, Backup system responce subsystems are not responding."
"Aren't there back-ups on the back-up systems? crap! Do a hard Reboot of the system."
"That is not a recomen-"
"I don't give a crap, Just do it!"
"Hard reboot in progress, please stand-by."
I watched as my cockpit went dark, and then I notcied the world from the brief glimpses of my out of control spin. Then the systems began to whine back up again.
Another flash of the world below. Oh, no, If I don't correct my decsent, I'm going to burn up! crap!
"Computer! Correct Planetary atmoshperic descent course!"
"Unable to comply."
"DO IT DAMN IT!"
"Unable to comply."
I punched into the communications panel, and set my systems to the widest band possible, "This is Leutienant Dignan to anyone who can hear me! My fighter is on an out of control spin out, This is Leutienant Dignan calling a mayday to anyone who can hear me! Engines are out, Computer is unable to respond to commands, backups down. I am entering planetary atmopshere, HELP ME!"
