Another strong entry - you used the timer well as a plot device to punctuate the story and provide natural scene breaks! I only wish you'd had the space to finish the countdown - I can't help but feel that I just read the first 1000 words of a 1500-word story and I didn't leave it with a sense of resolution. It's still an enjoyable story, though, and your voice is crisp and clear as ever.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm not particularly satisfied with the ending (or lack thereof) either. I was a bit overambitious with the scene concept and didn't have the time or motivation to completely restructure it after I realized I wouldn't have the space I needed, so it was reworked into a cliffhanger. The team didn't have enough time to complete their mission, and I didn't have enough words :P
The descriptions on the bridge screen were a little bit confusing, but overall a really fun and clear read.
Nicely written and very enjoyable, and not meaning to nitpick but if the torpedos were that close and expected to destroy the ship and the boarding team didn't teleport/transport in/out not sure they could get out and clear from the vessel anyway?
Solid read. Diction was clear and the concept well communicated. Well done.
My God dude (or chick). If you wrote a whole book, I would buy it. It would be criminal if this submission doesn't win. 5 stars across the board.
Great use of the 1k words. Very high quality writing, was a joy to read.
This reads like a pro wrote it, and has my vote for first prize. I want to know what happens next.
