This entry is part 12 of 18 in the series No Way Out

They might find you in the box. You think. You grab Jimmy’s hand and you run to the door. It opens automatically. There are six escape pods. Jimmy gets into one and so do you. They’re manual, but there’s pictures which makes things easier. You escape with Jimmy behind you. It seems the aliens spotted you because they came out in intercepting spacecrafts. You start panicking and sart pressing the direction, altitude and speed buttons. Jimmy seems fine. He’s calm and is just pressing buttons like it were a real world of exploration.

You start thinking that it’s time to give them a little hard time. You increase altitude and speed to make a loop behind the four aliens. You start thinking if there’s a shoot control on this escape pod. You do see something which could be the shooting buttons. One is a red button that says emergancy. And the other looks like a picture of an explosion. This could be the self destruct button and the red one may be the eject button, but one might be a shooting button. But which one?

 

(a) The red button

(b) The one with the explosion on it
