Patty Thorne felt something step on her leg, and then it was gone.
She looked around. Everyone was unconscious. She pushed and rolled
Richard over so he wouldn't choke.
"Computer, what happened?"
Never noticed.
"We crashed?"
Never noticed.
"We're on the planet's surface, aren't we?" Patty said,
trying to stand up. "What's that, a door?"
Now she kind of wished she had clothes on.
Something rattled ... or knocked!
Go slow, the computer
said.
Whatever it was knocked again!
"Bad timing!" Patty cried out,
a little disoriented.
