It was a bad time in space the spaceship was going crazy the engine was about to explode... The first part is the engine going out of whack. Then the first couple measures people were starting to run. Then it slowed down the engine was okay... Then it was starting to explode!! People started to sprint to the pods! Then next couple measures people had to slow down. But wait! The engine came back people started to pick up the pace... Then it was okay for a bit. People picked up the pace big time! Oh no it exploded!! END!
