The escape pod blasts out of the hatch - just as the Fernobites rush through the door. \n\nYou breathe a sigh of relief, set a course for the nearest space station and head out through the stars towards it.

<<playAudio alien.mp3>>\nThe Fernobites burst through the door. You close your eyes, waiting to feel the icy burn of a disintegrator ray.\n\n"Would you like a bit of cake?" asks a crackly, green voice.\n\nYou open your eyes to see one of the Fernobites opening a silver box that holding what looks like a large chocolate cake.\n\n"We heard it was your birthday, so we dropped in to say hi".\n\n<img src="http://i.imgur.com/LEihdBn.png">

You make it to the crew quarters. You close your eyes for a second and it seems like it's full of the ghosts of your friends, talking and laughing around you.\n\nYou haven't got time for this. You need to get to the [[Escape Pod|Escape Pod]].

\nYou turn a corner and see the door to the Escape Pod bay. With a last burst of speed you stagger through the door and press the release on the pod hatch. \n\nNothing happens - you check the power compartment on the side. It's empty! \nYou hear footsteps getting closer.\n<<if $haspower>> \nYou push the power source into the empty slot in the escape pod and press the door release. \n\nThis time it opens and you jump in, shutting it just as the Fernobites run into the room. You press the [[ignition button|Ignition Button]].\n<<else>>You close your [[eyes|Close Your Eyes]].\n<<endif>>

<<display loadAudio>>\nThe space station echoes around you as you run towards the escape pod. But the hollow sound is a lie; the Fernobites are closing in on you! \n\nYou try to remember what the fastest way to the escape pod is - is it through the [[Engine Room|Engine Room]] or the [[Crew's Quarters|Crew's Quarters]]?\n\n

<<set $haspower to 1>>\nThe engine room is in darkness. But there's a low hum from the engine, and when you touch the wall it feels like a huge cat purring. \n\nYou grab a torch from your pocket, switch it on, and start moving through the control panels. On one of them you see a power source for the escape pod! \n\nGrabbing it, you run out of the room, back towards the [[Escape Pod|Escape Pod]].\n\n
