| Leo *Thinks to self*: Good thing I attached his cable line to the ship... *Out loud, over inter-ship comm system* Everyone buckled up and in?
Some Marine: Affirmative Sir!
Leo: *Over headset comm system* I hope you and Stone are ready, Kalim...
Kalim: *Over comm* Yeah, I got my demo set ready to rock.
Leo: Let's do this.
*Leo powers up the engine and launches down the tube.*
Leo: Kalim, blow the doors!
*Kalim: Working on it... come on baby!
*Kalim hits the button, but nothing happens.*
Kalim: Oh s***.
Leo: KALIM!
*The sattion collapses. As the life boat heads down the tube, a wall of fire trails it.*
Leo: 150 meters! KALIM!
*The life boat crashes into the wall and explodes, killing everyone in it. The station collapses on itself and the self-destruct destroys everything else, including Kalim and Blake. Darkness washes over the DREAM MAKER trainees. A bright light then flashes.*
Somewhere...
*Hatches on 17 pods open. From those 17 pods, a person steps out from each one.*
???: Well that was nice. 11 people still unaccounted for, and Severis botched everthing up...
*A man from the very first pod looks at the speaker and speaks to him.*
Man: I am sorry, Sir. I will push them further.
???: NO, Ervis. Cut them some slack... you really pushed Severis. All that pressure...
Ervis: I am sorry.
???: Stop apologizing Leo. You're lucky that was just a simulation.
*Leo remains quiet.*
???: Anything else to say?
Leo: No sir, Commander Geans, sir!
