"Handover your tickets!"

2131 - The day of departure

Hi there, today is the BIG day.
Finally we're getting off our doomed planet and start heading towards a new future. Somehow I'm quite anxious to learn what will happen to us, but on the other hand it's rather frightening too. Acting as guinea pigs to test this new ship. Years and years of cryo-stasis. Must be hell for my skin, and my overall looks.

Anyway, we have to check in at the Kennedy Space Center III with our initial tickets, where they are biometrically matched to us. The waiting room is full of people all looking like they are in various emotional states, but mostly nervous and a little terrified of what is to happen.
After I've checked in my cargo, mostly consisting of my walk-in closet which I tried to pack in the tight space we got reserved for us, we have to find a seat in a shuttle bus which will fly us to the cryo launch pad.

To the launch pad

When the bus is full it takes of to bring us to the final piece of mother earth we'll ever touch. Sounds kinda dramatic doesn't it, but it's quite a big step, so I think I'm allowed to act a bit dramatic.
Although what happened then was way more reason to act all dramatic and panicky. All of a sudden the bus starts to shake and makes all kinds of erratic movements. It seems to be in some kind of nosedive flight, ready to crash into some freeway beneath us.
When we've "touched down" the pilot jumps out of his cockpit and runs away as a team of about 10 men come running towards us, guns ablazing. I quickly hide beneath my seat like most passengers do. A woman is helping her relatives, or at least they look like family, and tries to get them to safety.
Then the bus door is knocked down and a person who looks like he might be the leader of the team enters, yelling to hand over our tickets. The woman, who looks vaguely familiar from the news or the paper explains to him that that won't be an option as the tickets have recently been biometrically matched to each individual. The guy is not impressed at all though and draws his gun to make even more of a statement.
Some kind of droid jumps in between the guy and the woman to protect her, luckily we still got them to count on. There's a gunfight, and a lot of screaming and yelling. One of our fellow passengers is even shot down and is lying on the floor bleeding. In the meantime I quickly send a distress text message to 911.
Not too long afterwards the police arrive to drive away the hostile troop of men and free us. A new shuttle bus is called for and after all our cargo has been transferred and the injured have been taken care of we continue our final journey on eart

Final trip on earth

This incident makes we really happy to get of this dreadful planet, but on the other hand it also terrifies me of what can and might happen on the ship itself with all these fanatics running wild.
