Object Detected’
The speakers on the Hail Mary woke Grace up. Bumping his head on a control panel as he tried to walk around in his dreary state.
“Object Detected, Object Detected” Rocky chanted as he followed grace to the screen.
Grace forced his eyes to focus on the round thing they were headed towards. It definitely wasn’t an asteroid but he couldn’t be entirely sure what he was looking at.
“Switch to manual piloting” Grace told the ship. Whatever it was they were headed straight towards it.
He managed to stop when it was very close to the ship, allowing him to get a good look at it. Grace had to blink a few times to make sure he was really seeing what he was looking at
“It looks like a submarine?”
Grace said
“What is?”
Rocky questioned
“O it’s a type of ship that humans use to go under water”
“We are in space, not water”
“Exactly that’s what’s confusing me to”
Eventually Grace let his curiosity get the better of him and decided to go on a space walk to examine it further. He had gotten more used to space walks but was still extremely nervous.
Grace noted that it looked worn, he didn’t think it had been in space long, but it had definitely been through it. He floated around to the door or what would be the door if it hadn’t been welded shut. The window on it seemed like it was covered from the other side.
He was nearly about to leave when he decided to knock on the metal just to gauge how thick it was and heard a definitely not metal groan from inside. So he knocked again-
“hello?”
A quiet voice came from inside the submarine
Graces eyes went wide in surprise
“Is someone in there?!”
“……are you real?”
The voice responded slightly louder this time
“y-yes?” Graces heart rate was higher than he’s ever felt it. He had to help this person
“Just wait I’m going to get you out”
The man inside the submarine just grunted loudly and it sounded like he was moving around.
