For A Reason

You tell the soldier you don't know, and they cuff you and brings you into a larger ship, lined with seats. when you get in it appears to be a transport vessel. you take off, and no one says a thing to you. about 10 minutes pass of flying through the void of space, when a huge freighter, about a mile long, warps about 200 feet infront of your ship. It is massive, scattered with cannons and huge guns along the sides. a small section of the freighter opens up, allowing the fleet of ships that took you to enter. inside was a hangar, filled with variants of ships. you see fighters and civilian ships. transporters and heavy ships. It looks very professional, and as your ship starts to land 2 soldiers grab you by the shoulders and guide you to the exit. the ships are much larger up-close, and they are surrounded by dozens of mechanics all welding a wiring different parts, as if they were building an entire ship in just this hangar. you are guided out of the hangar and start to be taken through a series of hallways. you are taken to some sort of jail, but it isn't any ordinary prison. the cells are in great condition, with lots of room, carpet, a desk with some sort of computer. this isn't a jail, its some sort of refugee camp. you taken to an empty cell, and they dont lock the cell behind you. you look around and non of the cells seem to be locked. the only locked doors are the doors that lead to the hallways. you look around some more and see a cafeteria, the food is mostly dehydrated fruit, like the type you ate earlier. you start to think its to good to be true, when the high ranked soldier comes into your cell, "you think this is nice, well this isnt free. you have to work for a luxury like this. usually we have a variety of jobs, such as cafeteria worker, mechanic, and whole bunch of others. but this camp is so full with people like you we only have jobs on other planets. your job as a ship scrapper starts tomorrow, its the only job left with open spaces. get some good sleep, you will need it." you sit down on the bed, it is a bit stiff. that's when you realize something for the first time, you can feel through your suit. this brings up a lot of confusion but some soldier walks in your room an drops a pile of clothes, and then leaves. you become even more confused, why the soldier dropped off clothes when you clearly have a full body suit on, but they probably only get paid by time, not performance. you decide to sleep, for you have nothing better to do. you are awoken during deep sleep. the whole room shakes, people drop their cafeteria trays, and people start to panic. the guards that were in the cafeteria panic and run out of the camp, forgetting to lock the door behind them. the freighter rumbles again, and more soldiers and guards run through the halls. you walk into the halls, and look out the window. thousands of frigates and small ships spraying bullets at each other, and missiles making contact with the freighter you are currently on. you have to get out. you rush out of the camp and run through the halls, trying to find the hangar so you can make an escape. you become lost in the maze of hallways until you see a sign, labeled escape pods. you run past everyone running the same way, and you see one escape pod left. you quickly jump in and launch it, sending you towards a desert planet. you are speeding up, every second the planet gets closer. you are going to be ok. and that's when it all stopped. everything stopped. there was no sounds of explosions, or gunfire, or ships flying past. just silence. you stand up and look out the window of the pod. everything is frozen. you can see where the camp was, a hole replaced one of the walls. there were people, tables, chairs, everything that was in the camp, was now floating in the void of space, frozen in time. you lean against the window of the pod, and pass right through it. you are now in space, you cannot breath, but there is no need to breath. you feel fine. you are capable of walking in space, as if it was a solid object. you walk towards the ship, but you see something move. everything is frozen but this one thing. it is a small red fighter, and something inside was moving. your right arm starts to feel numb, and you look at the orb. it is flashing. you look at the red fighter, and there is another red orb, flashing. You feel tired, you need rest, NOW {FATAL ERROR DETECTED}
