[Walking sound]
Moon:
"nice the annoying quiet sound stopped".
"I guess this is the first time I can relax a little bit.
From what I remember, the engine room's huge gate needs a keycard. Soooo... what do I do?"
"I don't know. I guess I'll find a solution."
Moon was thinking, but she forgot one thing...
The ship is not empty.
-----
Moon:
"Fuuuuuuuuck! MAN! This door is hard After more than 15 minutes of punching it with my claws, how can it stand all that without a single scratch or dent?"
"Now that I think about it... why the fuck did they make a huge dense steel gate for just an engine room? And WHY did they make the easiest way to the cockpit go through the engine?"
"WAIT! I HAVE AN IDEA!"
"The keycard is supposed to read my genetic code as a bio password and use it for access to secure places like the engine room. So I need to access my genetic code-either through the keycard or a part of my body."
"That means I have to get to any computer on the ship.
Easy in normal circumstances. But now? I have less than an hour before my body shuts down. And if I shut down, there's a big chance I won't wake up again."
"So I have to search the first way of the three ways. FAST!"
-----
Moon started running around the ship, trying to find any working computer.
Moon (while running):
"How is there not a single computer with an emergency protocol working? That means there's a complete system shutdown. I have to get to the cockpit to reactivate the system AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!."
[After 30 minutes]
SYSTEM:
WARNING WARNING THE ENERGY IS BELOW 10% THE ENERGY IS BELOW 10% YOU HAVE ONLY 35 MINUTES BEFORE COMPLETE SHUTDOWN.
moon(sad)
whatever it didn't matter after all.
Moon got back to the engine gate.
sat her back to the cold walls waiting for her inevitable demise.
Moon:
"My power is near its limit. I'm tired. And there's no other way around to get to the cockpit."
She chuckled a little.
"I don't remember what I did in my life, but this is going to be the most embarrassing death in history."
moon( a quite and sad voice)
but it, s fine i guess.
In her miserable state, a grotesque and desperate idea came to her. It could work.
moon got up and walked to the gate.
Moon hesitated. But this was her only way.
Moon:
"So... the gate is very old. There's a hole in it for old drones to put their finger in as a keycard. But if I put my finger in, I won't be able to pull it out. My hand is bigger than the old drones'."
moon(afraid and sad)
w....why it had to come to something like this?
moon, with every bit of despair and fear had to push her shaky finger in the hole.
Moon:(trembling voice)
"I....I hope this works."
......
A metal biting sound.... A heavy cutting sound....
Drip. Drip.Drip.
Moon:
"AHHHHHHHHH! This is so PAINFUL!"
"Now I barely have 15 minutes to live."
She had to bite her finger-really hard-to make the oil power the gate's protocol, let it read her genetic code, and then slice it in half so she could pull her hand out.

[huge electraical gate opening sound]
just the force for opening the gate made all the walls shake
moon(quite and tired but still surprised)
wait really!?
i guess my fate hasn't ended after all which is nice.
