| The Baltic Sea Anomaly |
Glanke’s battered Escape Pod emerged on the far side of the
galaxy. Its survival systems pointed the ship toward an unknown solar system
that had a planet with oxygen—a blue planet. The ship, however, was badly
damaged and its survival systems made it speed wildly toward the planet, aware
its own systems could shut down at anytime.
The Pod attempted to awaken Glanke, who had been put into a
sonically induced sleep while fleeing the shock wave; but was unable to.
The Escape Pod was now rapidly approaching the blue planet, and again The Pod attempted to awaken Glanke; and again, to no avail. Finally, Glanke's ship entered screaming into
the atmosphere of the planet and began to burn. The friction of the fiery entry made the Pod shake uncontrollably. In a high pitched harmonic sound found in Glanke’s work suit, the Pod finally implored: “Awaken Glanke, awaken!”,
and with that, Glanke's eyes opened.
The first sight that greeted Glanke was the vision of a
large body of liquid looming below the ship, quickly getting closer and closer.
Panicked, Glanke struggled to gain control of the Pod and was aghast to see its controls so heavily damaged. Again and again, Glanke tried every possible configuration, until finally, just before impact,
Glanke managed to pull the ship level as it hit the surface making it swim horizontally through the liquid. Glanke was relieved to see the liquid was water.
As the the Escape Pod slowed down scraping the sandy floor, it finally came to a stop. They were well below the surface. The Pod automatically dispatched a distress signal, to summon a Rescue Team. It should be just a matter of time before a team would come and rescue them, thought Glanke. When the ship began to teeter and pitch uncontrollably, its survival system magnetically pulled up material underneath to steady it. And again, everything went dark.
