4 Operation: Black Hole

As soon as their minds were finally able to comprehend the trouble they were in, everyone did whatever they could do to prevent the ship from being sucked into the black hole. Jack was attempting to report back in and tell the commander what was going on. Mary was trying to steer them away from the current. If they get into the current they won't have any chance at getting out of it. Anna and Xanthia were trying to make the ship lighter so it would be easier to steer away from the black hole.

"Guys I didn't have any luck, it was like the signal was being jammed by something so I wasn't able to contact the commander," Jack said.

"Mary, how's it going over there. Do you think you'll be able to steer it out." Xanthia yelled.

"It's too early to tell, but right now the stick feels heavy. So I don't think I'll be able to hold out long." Mary said. (The stick is what's being used to steer the ship)

"Do you think we should use the escape pods?" Anna suggested.

"No, we cant. If we do we'll be sucked into the current and end up being pulled into the black hole." Jack said.

"Then what should we do?" Xanthia pushed.

"Um, guys we have a problem," Mary said.

"What happened?" Anna asked.

"The stick broke," Mary said holding it up.

"Oh no!" They all panicked.

"Alright, everyone head to the escape pods they are our only option at this point," Jack said.

"Okay." They all nodded.

Everyone grabbed materials for survival and headed to their designated escape pod.

"The worst-case scenario would be all of us getting separated or killed. The good thing is that we will be able to communicate with each other inside the pods." Mary explained.

"All we can do now is hope that we survive," Anna said.

They all climbed into their escape pods and ejected themselves from the ship.
