The endless sky of darkness

Many years have past and where still in the endless sky in dark i've almost lost track of time only four people left, not sure how much time till where next to fall in to the endless darkness.

Act one/Scene one

Person one: “Alarm clock going off” I overslept again, like it matters that much anyways. (The man turns over to turn off the alarm.)

Person two: “Knocks on door repeatedly” Monrow get up already we need you to come look at something quick!

Monrow: Coming as quick as I can Asuna. (He gets up and rushes to get out the door)

Person three: Our system is picking up a signal from somewhere out there, but we can't make it out Monrow.

Monrow: Lets get as close as we can Issaic we dont know whats out there in darkness. (As I took a seat in the chair in middle of the room)

Issaic: I captain, closing in on target area (As he types away on a control board)

“A loud sounds makes the crew fell to the ground clenching their ears”

Person four: What's going on in here captain, and what's that sound! (As the woman is trying to keep standing up with the ship shaking about and the horrible noise echoing)

Monrow: We don’t know what it is Nora. (As he rowse from the floor)

Nora: I think the sound is dying down, Is everyone okay?

All reply: were okay (As all of them got up from the floor)

Monrow: (looks up at the window from the floor) what was that and how did it affect the controls in the ship.

Asuna: “sparks fly from burnt control board” What are we going to do now the curcitrs our fried. (she tries to stop the sparks)

Issaic: (sit down on the steps in the room) It may take weeks but I can fix the control board, but it won't be a walk in the park to do it.

Nora: how far are we from home now? (She looks out the window)

Monrow: (opens a book on a another control board) I would say about 200,000 clicks from here, maybe even more.

Nora: (her head drops and takes a seat) Where never going to get back at this rate.

Asuna: (She stands up from the floor optimistically) We must have faith that we will make it back, if we give up now without trying is foolish what if there our other ships out their looking for us. The federation of remnants won't give up a search on us.

Issaic: Yes but it was Federation that sent us out here and we got stranded after the system malfunction and no way to send a distress signal, so i think we're on our own out here.

Nora: That comforting (turns to Monrow) So what the plan captain?

Monrow: fix the ship and get home it sounds cut and dry but really don't have a choice where only four left out of 150 crew that was on board, and we still manage a whole ship so we won't give up yet.

Asuna: (Her face became filled with sadness from remembering the event) I still can't believe how fast the sickness took everyone, and we still don't even go into half of the ship because of it, still wonder how we were immune to the sickness.

Issaic: (he gave Asuna a hug) consider yourself lucky but not lucky.

Monrow: come on we can't stay stuck on the past we need to get the power back on.

Issaic: I captain (As he went under the control board to see what was wrong

(sparks fly from under the control board and power is regained)

Monrow: good job Issaic, but I thought you said it would take weeks (he says with a smirk on his face)

Issaic: Turns out it wasn't that bad, also I got Cortana back online turns out she was in lock out mode this whole time.

Nora: it's about time we got back our navigation system

Cortana: Hello first mate Monrow, Your coordinates our unknow you our far beyond federation territory and mapping the area will be hard give me time to calculate your position.

Monrow: thank you Cortana… but its captain now, Captain Krag is dead and i've taken command of U.S.S Grimlock. (He says leaving the room with a saddened face)

Asuna: (starts to walk out of the room) I think we need to go eat this was far to stressful of a morning, even if we can't tell that it's morning or night out.

Issaic: (following behind Asuna) Tell me Asuna how do you stay so optimistic even in worst positions a person can face?

Asuna: (she turns to Issaic) I guess I just don't want to feel helpless.

( the lunch hall door opens they walkin)

Nora: (she goes into the kcitine of the ship all they have our cabinets of dyrd food and cans goods. And goes to grab some cans) Okay guys listen up! on today's menu we have vegetable substitute and basically food substitute take your pick it all taste the same anyways.

(they all laugh for a bit)

Monrow: (he enters the room) I've decided to find a way to get to lower quarters of the ship to search for supplies (he sits down at the old table with a overly serious face) we need get past what happened and find new ways to survive it may take months or years before help comes.

Nora: (she stands up from the table) I agree we need to get to the rest of the ship the doctor bay is down their and what if we don't have what we need up here we could die, we only have each other and we can't lose that it what makes us human.

Issaic: Me and Asuna agree it’s what best for the crew.

Monrow: Than it is settled i'll make preparations to go down not sure how safe it is down their will need our suits and the other equipment to bring it back up.

“Monrow and the others leave the lunch hall and make their way to their room to get ready for the coming day to go down to the lower level of the ship” End of scene one/act one
