Encounter Tangency

The problem came an hour before the encounter tangency. Everything had been going well until I ran a test check on the stasis field generator.

And it failed.

This was a problem as the stasis field was going to be the only thing stopping the giant asteroid from destroying us in the encounter tangency.

I brought this to the attention of the rest of the crew, who all were convinced it was a mistake, and that it would work when required.

I took their opinion on board, and then had a quick encounter tangency with the nearest escape pod door.
