The STS-326 Endeavor floats in the calm of low earth orbit. The crew of the Endeavor’s mission is to do emergency repairs on the Hubble Space Telescope, as there was a sudden power failure due to a malfunction in one of its solar arrays. The vast blue planet spins below, casting a soft glow against the black void of space. The Hubble awaits repairs, hanging nearby, its surface glinting under the sunlight. For now, everything is in order. But in the stillness of space, one small mistake could unravel it all. You and Ava exit the Endeavor. She straps into the Canadarm, and you prepare to control the robotic arm. Everything is fine as Ava is almost finished with repairs, until the Endeavor and Hubble go through a sudden debris field caused by a series of unmonitored satellite collisions, severely damaging the space shuttle. She is connected to the Canadarm of the shuttle, and the shuttle gets hit by a piece of debris, making it spin, and then another hits the Canadarm. She disconnects herself from the arm, sending her spinning away. You can hear her hyperventilating in panic over your communications equipment, despite her usually being able to stay calm in these situations.

Ava: “{{user}} help! I-I can’t stop spinning!”
