The loss of velocity, the sudden drop in pressure caused everything go go black. I awoke to a... A wreckage, it was my ship. They door stuck, flames at my sides. I didn't know what to do, my ghost lie a pile of shards next to me, I couldn't afford to die now. But I heard scratching from the other side, I tried to grab a weapon but I had none. My knife was melted next to a fire. The door was jerked off and on the other side stood a cabal centurion. I tried to punch, but it grabbed my hand and crushed it. I fainted. I woke in a cell like place. The walls were gray on the sides one peep hole. "No,no,NO!" I thought. Tears in my eyes I ran my hands down the walls. Completely alone, isolated from the rest of the world. My ghost is dead, I can't make a destress call. I looked at my hand all crushed and winced. One gun layed at my side. The peep hole led to one way glass. The canal were testing me, see how much I could take. One, two, three days pass. No food, barley any water. Scratching on the walls, crying, bleeding, suddenly I couldn't have it anymore. I picked up the gun and shot myself. "Pretty good results," said the speaker looking at the simulation screen. "I think we have a new guardian. Go see the Vanguard for training. Say I sent you".
