Space was dead silent, peaceful and tranquil in its utter emptiness. There was even little starlight here, so far between stars. No one in their right mind would ever think to come out here to this barren patch of space. The sheer, utter blankness of the place was enough to drive men mad, some would whisper in hushed tones over the tops of their drinks. The complete and total lack of anything to rest your eyes on was anathema to the conscious mind, a dark road to insanity.
Then, in the midst of the unyielding darkness, a tiny pinprick of light blossomed from nowhere. It hung for one terrifying second and then began to grow, fast and faster, the blackness of empty space forced to retreat before it as it exploded into brilliant light. When it had grown to a relatively large size it began to waver and shimmer, splitting with a visible shudder down the middle to reveal it was not only simple light. It was a hyperspace window. The window shuddered again as a metal ship came tumbling out, and then closed, vanishing as if it had never even existed. The ship was still there, though, literally tumbling end-over-end through empty space, flames shooting out at random intervals and little pieces of the hull flying off into nowhere. It was obvious this ship was in peril, or possibly just in need of serious work. With this particular ship's crew, you never could tell.

"Daisy! What did you doooooooo!" the last word out of his mouth was cut off as the ship tumbled in time with a flicker in the ship's failing inertial dampeners, causing him to fly haphazardly into the other side of the ship's inner hull. He hit with an 'oof!' and a growl before the direction reversed, sending him slamming again. He tried to yell again, but his words were cut off as he felt the ship try to pull that stupid trick on him again. He grabbed an upper beam in the ceiling as the ship tumbled further, swung around brutally but otherwise not moving. He bared his teeth and started to move his paws along the beam, slowly and painfully making his way towards the bridge, where he'd last seen Daisy.
He had only moments before walked away to find time for himself, and now he was going back. There was no escape. He hissed and kept moving, hoping that the fiery-haired human would find him so he didn't get killed by anything not nailed down. In a major, almost badly-invented coincidence, as soon as the thought passed through his mind he was forced to jump as a large piece of furniture barreled down the hallway. He watched it go, silently hoping it'd breach the hull so they could all die, and then started to claw his way back towards the bridge, wondering if Daisy was even still there.
