I opened my eyes to a blinding light and the ground under me suddenly feeling unstable. I took a quick glance around. In front of me were three large glass windows that showed nothing but darkness with the occasional sparkle of something in the distance. Under those windows was a control panel with one to many bottons on it and a joystick.
Behind me was a hallway that curved to the left and right so I could not see what they lead to. The one to the left had a sign saying 'Hatch' while the one right said 'Engine' To my right were 2 people, one guy and one girl, and to my left was another guy.
Information seemed to fill my head. Class? Survivor? The more dire the situation becomes the smarter and faster you think. Good to know.
Suddenly the ground beneath me shook again. Some lights started flashing red. From what I can gather we are in a space ship and probably under attack. I immediately headed over to the control panel.
"Is there a system for this ship", I asked.
"Affirmative", a robotic voice answered.Good. If there wasn't I didn't know if i would be able to pilot this thing.
"Ok", I said, "Systemgive me a diagnosis of the ship and what is attacking us".
"The ship is in good condition due to the barrier. We are currently being attacked by space pirates", answered the robotic voice.
"How long will the barrier last and do we have any offensive measures".
"The barrier will last for another ten minutes. We have one cannon onboard but it needs to be handled manually. Currently all power is going to the barrier so any use of cannon will decrease the time of the barrier".
Well that's a problem. I looked back at the people who were still standing in the same place, dumbfounded. It looks like that survivor class is helping me more than I thought.
I yelled to get their attention, "hey you guys got classes too right". They nodded. "quick tell me your class and name".
I pointed to a slightly tanned guy with long hair who was standing on my left when I got here.
He said, "My name is Mark. My class is berseker. The longer I fight the stronger I become". Ok. I looked at the guy who was standing on my left when I got here. He had short, dark hair and slightly pale skin.
He said, "My name is Oliver. My class is mechanic. Anything that involves machines or metal I can repair and sometimes upgrade". I looked at the last person which was the girl who was standing on my left before. She had long hair and brown-ish skin.
She said, "My name is Kaitlyn. My class is scientist. If it involves something with chemical or medicine I can do it". I nodded
I looked back at the control panel. "System is there anything onboard that can help us survive in space".
"Affirmative. At the end of the left corridor the is a room that contains 4 suits that are in good condition that help you survive in space".
"What are the defensive capabilities of the suits".
"Extremely poor. One strike from the space pirates ship will destroy it". Hmm.
I looked back. I looked at Oliver. "I want you to head where the suit are and try to upgrade one of the suits defensive abilities as much as you can for the next ten minutes". He nodded and walked down the left hallway. I looked at Mark. "you go with him".
"Why", he asked.
I smiled. "Because you're gonna be fighting in space".
