Mostly Naked in Space

Opening my eyes, I stare at my ceiling fan, slowly spinning in the hot Middle Eastern winter, I turn the alarm on my phone off and go brush my teeth.Or I would be doing that If I were at home right now.I'm not.I seem to be on what I can only call a crater on a rock. Mostly because the ground here seems like I'm on the moon.Although I can somehow breathe just fine over here.There seems to be a large force field in the sky, almost like a sci-fi movie or game about building a lunar colony or something. A dome of blue energy almost as far as the eye could see.You know what I'm talking about, those large domes to build the cities inside.And seeing as I don't see a city right now, on account of me being inside of a crater, I should actually do something and find someone to help me instead of remaining seated in the crater.Looking down at myself, I see that I was sent here with only the clothes on my back. And since I was sleeping at the time...------------------------------Far away in a security room, looking over the mining operation on an unnamed asteroid owned by Zork Enterprise, a short insect-looking alien checked its eyesight as it spotted movement on one of the cameras."Shnerk, Am I seeing things or is there a human walking around in his underwear on that screen?" The security camera alien asks its coworker, Shnerk."You don't seem to be seeing things Glurkle, That does indeed seem to be a human walking around in his underwear," Shnerk answered Glurkle's question while taking a sip of his Coffee."Should we do something?" Glurkle asked."I'm on my lunch break, Call the boss if you don't know what to do," Shnerk said before leaving the security room, his coffee cup held in one of his tentacles.Looking back at the monitor, Glurkle steels himself to finally do his job.-------------------------------"Holy shit am I in space?!" I yell out loud as I walk out of the crater, my eyes seeing stars outside the big blue barrier in the sky.I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy this view a lot more if I was wearing something more than just my boxer briefs."What am I going to tell Mom and Dad when I get back? Can I even get back? Do I want to go back? Let's hold on to that last question, this place might actually be Warhammer 40k or something, I would definitely want to go home if that's the case." I talked to myself, I'm totally not freaking out somewhat I promise."How many Isekai stories start with the protagonist in space? Wait! Isekai stories give the protagonist super awesome powers so he could build a harem or fight an Evil Overlord. What powers did I get?" I wait for some greater being to tell me why I was Isekaid, for a Random Omnipotent Being to appear in front of me and tell me of my quest.I got no answer so instead I did the next best thing."Menu!" Seeing that a floating screen did not pop up in front of me, I try something else "System! Inventory! Boost! Unlimited Blade Works? Kaio-ken? Star Platinum? Anything?..." I yelled out a series of different powers that are common in the Isekai Genre.It seems I don't have a special ability, bummer. How will I beat the covenant now? I don't want to become a Spartan, that sucks."Enough joking around! I need clothes!" I slap my face, give one last look to the blanket of stars beyond the big blue barrier, and start moving my legs, ignoring the feeling of air on my mostly naked body.And with those fighting words, I ran in a straight line and hoped I reached civilization.

I wrote this in December 2022.

I miss Awesomenauts, so sad the severs shut down.

Atari bought the liscensing half a year ago, so hopefully they'll try and revive it.
