The spaceways are busy, but the space between the planets is vast. The chances of an effective rescue if things go wrong can remote. Luckily for this Space Glider pilot help arrived in the nick of time. After his ship was punctured by micrometeoroids and lost power, the chances of being found were slim. A chance encounter with a supply shuttle for Moonbase alerted operatives and a rescue operation was swiftly mounted. After a brief EVA from his crippled ship, the pilot was returned safely to Farside Station and waiting medics. The deep cold of vacuum chilled his bones, but thanks to the responsive R6 crew, he'll live to fly again!
Cool vignette, Wote!
ReplyDeleteYup, most cooloid! We have the technology, we can rebiuld him! But who's this EVA chick?
ReplyDeleteCool Spacex Space Gliders! Almost as good as SWORD!
Ah, memories of the summer there Wote! Very nice little vignette as Toad said.
ReplyDeleteAny chance of a War and Peace style Sword/Spacex 5 volume epic...with pictures and full technical specs?
I'd be ever so grateful, wouldn't half help pass these long, cold winter nights along with a spike of rum and a bar Old Jamaica! :-)
could be a project for the cold winter nights.. an illustrated piece of spacex/sword crossover fiction..
