Im lost. Im scared. And theres something horrible in here.

My name is Gary Rendell. Im an astronaut. When they asked me as a kid what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, astronaut, please! I dreamed astronaut, I worked astronaut, I studied astronaut.

I got lucky; when a probe exploring the Oort Cloud found a strange alien rock and an international team of scientists was put together to go and look at it, I made the draw.

I got even luckier. When disaster hit and our team was split up, scattered through the endless cold tunnels, I somehow survived.

Now Im lost, and alone, and scared, and theres something horrible in here.Lucky me.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.
