Chapter 8 - Crash landing

"Squeak!! Squeak!!!!"

A loud squeaking sound invaded his senses. Skyy frowned deeply. 'Did they change the manual voice? Why is it squeaking so much... I just want to sleep...'

"Squeak!!" something bounced on his Body.

Frowning he pushed it away and rolled to his side rolling up like a roly-poly.

The squeaking continued along with a few rattling sounds. Suddenly a sharp pain on his palm shook him awake.

Dazedly Skyy looked around. Red lights were flashing brightly in the small metal room. 'Where? Oh shit… we escaped and then that smoke put us out!' he weakly stood up holding the walls.

"Hiss!" he gazed at his palm. There was a small bite mark that was bleeding.

"Squeak!!!" the rat ran around him and then to the control panel and jumped on it.

Skyy ran to the window and gazed out. it seemed they were moving somewhere fast. No... they were descending somewhere. The gravity field in the escape pod was normalized making it seem normal.
