“WE’RE GOING TO CRASH! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!”
Ianto rolled his eyes. Some people could be such drama queens, even the ones who lived in a universe where space travel was common, and therefore should be used to it.
He pushed his way through the milling passengers, who really should have been strapped in, for their own safety. All seats, even those in the lounges and observation decks, were equipped with restraint webbing, for the protection of passengers in situations like this.
“You’re not going to crash. Everything’s under control. Please stay calm, sit down, and engage the restraints.”
By now, Jack was surely already on the ship’s flight deck, helping the crew regain control of the starship. Ianto was of more use preventing panic.
“Who are you?” an alien who rather resembled a humanoid walrus demanded. “I haven’t seen you before, and I know everyone aboard!”
“Rescue services. My colleague and I just arrived in response to the captain’s distress call. If you’d all please take your seats while we deal with the situation, we’ll soon have you on your way again.”
It was fortunate the TARDIS had intercepted the SOS, otherwise the ship really would have crashed.
The End
