[Cpt. Jack - Space; orbiting earth - Daytime]

Captain Jack Harkness was sitting in his spaceship, which was orbiting the Earth. He was going over multiple calculations and looking for the malfunction error in which his computer was stating. "No, no, no! These are all wrong! The spectrual therum and the Hysostatic Quantums are off the charts, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY ERRORS!" He yelled at himself. Suddenly, he threw down all the papers and punched the computer. He sighed. "If I don't find this error and solve it in the next..." he checked his watch. "3 hours, the ship's engine is going to fail..." he sighed again. He sat back down at his chair and picked up his papers, then continued trying to find the error.

2 hours and 49 minutes passed. Tne intercome turned on: "WARNING: WARNING: 11 MINUTES UNTIL FULL ENGINE FAILURE." Jack gasped. he loved this ship, and he couldn't let it go down in flames. Then, he would have to spend weeks, possibly MONTHS, repairing it! 

9 minutes and 55 minutes passed. The intercom buzzed on: "WARNING: WARNING: 60 SECONDS REMAINING." Jack sighed. "Oh, well. I see I'm not gonna be able to repair it... I should at least try to not die in the crash, then I would be stuck 'dead' for another wasted day." He walked over to to the escape pod and walked in. He listened to the intercom. "45... 44... 43... 42..." he set the escape pod to leave the ship in 30 seconds.

20 seconds passed. he counted in his head. [i]20... 21... 22... 23... 24... 25... 26... 27... 28... 29... 30...![/i] The escape pod's engines burst to life, and thrusted away from the ship. [i]10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...[/i] As he was plummeting towards Earth, he saw his ship slowly start falling towards Earth, towards an, thankfully, empty field. he pressed the Parachute button, and a parachute burst from the escape pod. He moved the thrusters of the escape pod so that it would land a few miles away.

The escape pod hit the ground, and Jack was flung around inside it. He only had a few seconds to open the door, when he saw his ship hit the ground a few miles away. he sighed, again. "Now I gotta walk ALL the way over there..." he gathered a few supplies from the escape pod and began his walk to the ship.

He reached the ship after a few minutes of walking. He walked in the wreckage that was his ship, and gathered a few usable supplies, then started to walk into the city.
