Now,
in the giant clumsy spacesuit, he carefully makes it over to the
ship's computer and manually detaches the bomb. He has a limited
amount of time to actually get inside the bomb before it jets
into the Sun, as he's hurrying to the bomb... he trips and falls
down. (Tripping in giant clumsy spacesuit = not fun) Nevermind
lack of oxygen, nevermind solar flames, dysfunctional computer,
entrapment, and crazed homicidal maniacs - he made it through
all that!! It is something as simple and silly as tripping that
can foil an epic mission and doom an entire solar system.
AARRGHH!! >.<
But
no, he fights the hopelessness and eventually gets back up.
Except now time is running out and there is no way to get to the
bomb besides a risky free-float across open space hoping he can
grab onto something if he manages to impact with the runaway
bomb. He does. Now he braves the spacetime distortion of the
Sun's gravity and must manually activate the bomb as they are
falling into the Sun. THE SUN. A @%$ STAR!! An impossible,
impassable, most awe-inspiring frontier! "Landing" on
(/getting annihilated by) even the local Sun blows visiting a
distant planet utterly out of the water! There are few cooler
ways to die than getting fried by a star. (Note to self: die in
star in future lifetime.) |
