This
just in: A starliner bound for the colony on Ourea that was believed
lost last week has finally pulled in to port, more than 4 days late.
Reports indicate a communications failure, but some passengers have
independently confirmed a solar event during the expected two week
travel time. According to eyewitnesses, the starliner experienced
power loss and was adrift for several hours before power was
regained. Emergency life support systems kept everyone alive during
the frightening ordeal. The captain later informed the passengers
that the starliner had to change course because of the activity of a
flare star on their route. It has been confirmed that the star,
Ignatius, is now in its final phase. All routes have been altered to
avoid the extreme radiation levels--enough, scientists say, to cook
all occupants inside any nearby spacecraft. An investigation is
underway.
