The Paradox

"U.C.F Station Paradox Commander's Log, date 12th December, 2046.

It's been a year now since the last non-automated contact with ground control or anyone else. The food delivery drones still come, but as Doctor Dronik continuously points out, the supply depot had enough for fifty years, and that was all automated.

The crew is wanting to launch the escape pods, as they now just want answers before their presumed death, rather than the certain death up here, eventually.

I'm giving them permission. But I'm staying behind, just in case.

I guess I'm still scared to die. Yet I'm up here."
