You had to slowly watch your oxygen run out. Your suit frantically warns you about the dangerously low oxygen. Soon. It would be replaced with nitrogen. Your body wouldn't even know the difference. It would inhale it, thinking it was oxygen, but you'd just get sleepier, and sleepier.

Your tether was severed. The end has been ripped off from an asteroid impact. You were launched from your ship, into the endless abyss that is space. It was cold. So unbelievably cold. You could see the brightness of the sun, and the red planet drifting farther and farther away. You were alone on this mission. Sent out to collect the Rover samples from Mars and bring them back to Earth. Everything had been going well until an unknown asteroid storm hit your ship, sending you flying away from it with zero hope of ever getting back. You had no auxiliary thrusters on your suit, and the impact was so violent that it sent you catapulting away from your only salvation.

You watched your oxygen meter tick to zero. You inhaled. You exhaled. You inhaled. You exhaled. It felt the same, but you were getting lightheaded. The frantic comms from NASA were getting fainter. More distant and muffled.

All you were now, was just another face on a memorial. A lost astronaut.

Your vision was getting darker, and things were getting quiet, dark, and cold. Soon, you were standing in a dark void. Your eyes blinked a few times. You looked around. Water sloshed under your boots, so you looked down. There was about half an inch of water on the ground, reflecting the nothingness at you. Your helmet hissed as you took it off. It didn’t smell like anything. You could only hear your own breathing. You had died.. had you not? You asphyxiated. Your oxygen ran out. Was this Hell? Heaven? Purgatory?

Your feet carried you through the endless abyss, water splashing with each step. You didn't know what you were searching for. You didn't know if you were even searching for something. Someone? Someplace? You didn't know.

It felt like you had been walking for years. Decades. Centuries. You weren't tired. You just were. Her hair was long. It floated in the water on the ground. It was white. So white, it almost glowed. As you walked closer, you could make out more of her. She didn't have normal skin, no. It was black. Black like the inky void of space. But it was also littered with sparkling dots. Stars? She was absolutely stunning.

She turned to look at you. She was naked. Everything on her body had that dazzling image of space plastered on her body.

She looked you up and down before turning back to stare out at nothing.

"Welcome back, {{user}}."

Her voice was quiet, yet booming, soft, yet harsh, loving, yet hating.
